In 1776, the thirteen colonies in America declared their independence from Great Britain. The reasons enumerated for their bloody revolution can assist us in understanding our present day peaceful revolution, NESARA (National Economic Security & Reformation Act)

Why a revolution? The U.S. Declaration of Independence reveals the answer. "When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the Earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

Great Britain financially backed much of the exploration that resulted in the English settlements on American soil. For decades, the relationship between Great Britain and these colonies was mutually beneficial. The colonies were dependent upon Great Britain for a system of laws, shipments of supplies, and the few luxuries they enjoyed while building a new nation. As the colonies grew in population, professional expertise, and the ability to govern themselves, they began to resent the interference of a foreign government.

Why this resentment? The U.S. Declaration of Independence explains. "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."

Legal documents are required to pass a vagueness test, meaning that in order to be valid, they must be written in clearly stated terms. For this reason, it is important to look closely at the words used, for most often these words are loaded with meaning. The above statement is, indeed, pregnant.

"We hold these Truths." The word Truths refers to the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God as stated in the first paragraph of the Declaration. It signifies Truth that cannot be disputed or changed—thus, Universal Law. These Truths may be denied temporarily, but they cannot be altered. The original thirteen colonies based their rationale for declaring independence from Great Britain upon universal law, which far exceeds the power of laws devised by human beings.

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident." Truth that is self-evident is truth beyond question. It is within the natural order of creation.

"… that all Men are created equal." These Truths state Nature’s God created all human beings equal. In accordance with this unalterable universal law, no human being, nation, or government possesses the right to dominate others or to enact laws that pertain to one segment of the population only. No human characteristic, such as race or creed, justifies enforcing laws that affect some while eliminating others.

"… that they are endowed by their Creator." To be endowed by their Creator is to be granted a natural capacity or power as a part of the creation process, to have life enriched via the gifts given.

What are these gifts? "… with certain unalienable Rights." Unalienable (often seen spelled inalienable) rights are inherent, natural rights that cannot be altered by manmade law. Unalienable rights can neither be given or taken away nor transferred to another person. We may choose not to insist upon our unalienable rights, but that does not dissolve the right itself. Rights are those privileges to which every human being is justly entitled. Nature’s God enriched every human life with privileges that are inborn.

"… that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." The quality of Life privilege granted to all persons by Nature’s God is predestined to be one of Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. A Life characterized by Liberty is one that is free: free to do as one pleases, free from tyranny, free to follow one’s dream. A Life enriched by the Pursuit of Happiness is based upon personal fulfillment and the knowledge of our true identity as one whose innate right is happiness.

"That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men." A life characterized by the freedom to do as we please, while pursuing happiness, requires self-discipline and the ability to perceive how our actions will impact the rights of others. Our right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness cannot adversely affect the rights of others to this same liberty and pursuit of happiness. Once our actions result in negative repercussions for one or more persons, we have broken Universal Law, i.e. Common Law. Our nation’s founding documents are based on Common Law, meaning we are free to pursue our rights as long as we do not interfere with the right of others to do the same. Because self-discipline is an advanced spiritual art in which few of us are proficient, human beings established governments to secure our unalienable rights and to ensure justice for all persons.

"… deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." Government is not to be an entity unto itself. Instead, it is to ensure the unalienable rights of its citizens—the one and only reason we establish a government. Any power the government may possess is to be the power granted by the governed. No government can justly govern in a manner that deprives or adversely impacts the unalienable rights of the human beings who grant it the power to oversee and secure these privileges.

In the eyes of this nation’s founding fathers, Great Britain had abused the power granted to it. Thus, "Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." Our founding fathers emphasized that government exists for the people, not the people for the government. If our government persists in violating the unalienable rights of its citizens, we possess the Right, and the responsibility, to alter or abolish that governing body. We have been granted the privilege of creating a new government that will concentrate upon ensuring the safety and happiness of the people.

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future." Human beings are not predestined to be subservient to those who choose to govern in ways that do not ensure the safety and happiness of its citizens. The inclusion of pursuit of happiness, as one of humanity’s unalienable rights, is an extremely important factor to keep in mind. It is, however, the first to be omitted in the mindset of those persons who govern and who are governed. Great Britain forgot. Our American government has forgotten. We, the people, have forgotten.

Although, the U.S. Declaration of Independence reminds us not to take lightly the abolishing of those forms of government that have become despotic, it also declares it our duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for our future. Most human beings tend to suffer in silence; however, there is a limit to the amount of suffering any government can be allowed to inflict. In order to be responsible citizens, we must remember that government exists to ensure its citizens their unalienable right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Our founding fathers revolted against the despotism of Great Britain, taking pains to state their reasons for doing so.

The King of Great Britain had refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public Good. He had forbidden the governors of the colonies to pass laws that were of immediate and pressing importance until approved by him, then neglected to attend to them. He imposed taxes on the American colonies without their consent, maintained standing armies in times of peace, and rendered the military independent of and superior to the civil power. The King made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He deprived us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury. He transported us beyond the seas to be tried for pretended offenses. He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country. He has excited domestic insurrection amongst us. (For the entire list of abuses, see the document.)

Our founding fathers informed the King, the Legislature, and the British people of their grievances. "In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British Brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their Legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us…. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity [or close relations]."

The 1776 Declaration of Independence climaxed our founding fathers’ efforts to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." During the ensuing years, the thirteen colonies created the Constitution of the united States of America. The ratification process was completed on June 21, 1788. Cognizant of the need for Americans to trust their government, the founding fathers provided the first ten amendments to the Constitution—called the Bill of Rights. They were ratified on December 15, 1791.

A little more than two centuries later, the need to throw off such government and to provide new guards for [our] future security became apparent. In 1993, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that banks, in collusion with the U.S. government, were foreclosing fraudulently on farm mortgages. During the court process, additional frauds on the American people were uncovered. A committee of five Supreme Court Justices was charged with the Herculean task of developing the means to implement the required government and banking reforms. Experts in economics, monetary systems, banking, constitutional governments/law, and many related areas were consulted. Following years of detailed planning, the resulting legislation—the National Economic Security & Reformation Act—was signed into law in October 2000 by the sitting president.

NESARA—America’s peaceful revolution—will greatly enrich the Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness of every American and peoples around the world. Four major principles constitute the foundation for the NESARA LAW:
