Homeland Insecurities

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." -Declaration of Independence, July 4th, 1776

Dear "Friends",

You sure disappointed me when it was confirmed that you were involved with all the twists that have been going on here along the border and I say border because that is precisely why YOU are here. Specifically speaking, Terlingua, Texas, U.S.A.

To protect the Homeland, not the People.

You should be ashamed of the fact that you deliberately lied to me and my family, sincere people, about why you are here and leading us to believe that we, you and I, were here for the same reasons: that we love the Chihuahuan Desert and dwell in it because she teaches and she provides us with happiness; that we can enjoy Freedom with her and other fellow inhabitants.

Nuestra Casa.

Yet, I've come to find out, your reasons are absolutely related to your career. A career that deals with manipulation and corruption in order to obtain information over a given jurisdiction, which has now covered everything between here and there. A career that pays you to encroach upon the civil liberties of a Free People and in doing so, you have jeopardized Freedom. In other words, make others miserable.

You see, the thing I find most irritating about it all, you aside, is that we have steered from the fundamentals that were laid out by our forefathers in that this would be a sovereign nation where power is ultimately in the hands of the People.

Yet, of course, when the People's rights have been infringed, the Constitution becomes obsolete, Freedom ceases to exist, and the People are left powerless.

It's truly disturbing to find that I have "friends" who have aided and abetted in the slow eradication of a Democracy and pushed for, whether knowingly or not, a Fascist State. The least you, a friend, could do is acknowledge these things and apologize for your part in it. Otherwise, you'll find, that true friends will be hard to come by and without them, you'll forever be surrounded with doubt and distrust.

Please don't tell me you were simply doing your job. YOU lied to me and I am a person of the People who you are supposed to protect. How does lying to us protect the People? So it's your call, take a vacation and ponder over these truths, or not and if you can't feel sorry about all of this, do not, I stress, talk or even attempt to talk to me anymore.

Yours,
Deaf Jeff

P.S.
The River will NEVER divide us.
Never has and never will.
