Individual
freedom and Security are not so much the objective security of a Country's
Constitution, or even the justice system but rather a sense of confidence in
our ability to take care of ourselves.
While
constitutions and justice systems play crucial roles in safeguarding rights and
maintaining order, as prescripted by governments and then interpreted by the
courts, the true sense of confidence in one's ability to take care of oneself
and feel secure often goes beyond legal frameworks alone.
The concept
of individual freedom involves the absence of coercion or undue constraints on
personal choices and actions. When people feel free to make decisions that
align with their values and beliefs without fear of oppression or
discrimination, they have and thus experience a greater sense of freedom.
On the other
hand, security encompasses protection from harm, both physical and
psychological. It is not just limited to protection from external threats, such
as crime or invasion, but also extends to economic security, social security,
and a sense of overall well-being.
The sense of
confidence in taking care of oneself is a crucial aspect of freedom and
security. It goes beyond relying solely on the formal institutions and systems
established by the constitution or justice system of governments be they a
Democracy, Monarchy, Oligarchy, Totalitarian, Theocracy, Aristocracy or
Dictatorship.
All peoples
of the world, as individuals, have lives, relationships, families, and the
inherent right to reject or accept social trends and have that right and
freedom to free speech and make choices without being bullied, coerced,
intimidated, or cancelled or censored by either side of an issue?
Nor censored
and silenced by social media or mainstream media outlets of any kind.
As a true
democracy doesn’t need fact-blockers or politically biased fact-checkers, no
matter if they are from the government, agencies of the government or private
corporations like Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc. We need more freedom
to speak and discuss opinions on all sides of any issue, not less.
Facebook,
LinkedIn, Google, and Yahoo are the next few Teck corporations that require new
owners who support open and free dialogue NOT censorship based on a particular
political ideology.
Every
individual has the right to define oneself and should others agree with your
self-definition or not is another matter entirely.
Unfortunately,
it seems obvious that the goal of the mainstream gay, lesbian, bisexual
transgender community is to force its ideals onto all citizens in their attempt
to reduce individual rights by creating a society that must conform to only one
viewpoint?
And when one
does not conform you are instantly labelled a homophobic or a Trans phobia
person!
Also, we have
permitted non-elected bureaucrats and technocrats to be appointed into
positions of setting policy based on their reasons and speech, without any
directly elected accountability or authority from the citizens at large.
Their
policies have revolved around deciding for us the cradle-to-grave decisions
that once were democratically reserved solely for families and individuals, NOT
the ideologies of only one political party.
Throughout
the world, we witness progressive liberal socialists deeply involved
emotionally in attacks on truth, reality, free speech, banking, and property
rights while ignoring the laws of the land, through the weaponization of the
legal systems, the courts etc. in my opinion.
“Freedom”
means the opportunity to go through life, with real goals not the artificial
goals of surrogate activities, like the media, and without interference,
manipulation, or supervision from anyone, especially from any large
organization or government.
Freedom means
being in control (either as an individual or as a member of a SMALL group) of
the life-and-death issues of one’s existence; food, clothing, shelter, and
defence against whatever threats, real or conceived there may be in one’s
environment.
Freedom means
having power; not the power to control, or mandate other people but the power
to control the circumstances of one’s own life.
One does not
have judicial freedom if anyone else (especially the government or a large
organization or media) has power over one, no matter how benevolently,
tolerantly, and permissively that power may be exercised.
It is
important not to confuse freedom or justice with mere permissiveness and
inducement by uncontrolled media reporters or journalists. Constitutional
rights are useful up to a point, yet they do not serve to guarantee much more
than what might be called the bourgeois conception of judicial freedom.
Freedom of
the press is of very little use to the average citizen as an individual. The
mass media are mostly under the control of large organizations that are
integrated into the system. Anyone who has a little money can have something
printed or can distribute it on the Internet or in some such way, but what
he/she has to say will be swamped by the vast volume of material put out by the
media or have it un-ceremonially cancelled by the social media Teck giants,
hence it will have no practical effect.
To make an
impression on society with words is therefore almost impossible for most
individuals and small groups in today's so-called democracies worldwide.
Freedom
without the individual being in a legal position to protect oneself, then there
is no security for the individual or the security of a family.
Politicians
say, "Public safety is our top priority.”
Yet, why is
it that they do not enforce all the laws and bylaws currently on the books?
Further, why
do they not demand that prosecutors, judges, the laws, and sentencing be used
to protect public safety as a top priority and for the victims and innocent
citizens who pay the price for crimes committed by criminal elements within
society?
To solve the
problem of crime the laws must be enforced, prosecutors must demand the maximum
sentencing and judges must sentence all criminals, regardless of age, based on
the laws for crimes of adults under the criminal code NOT under The Youth
Criminal Justice Act.
Further, our
laws must be updated relating to sentencing i.e., crimes committee on public
transit of any kind must be considered as a domestic terrorist act and upon
conviction of the first offence, with or without a weapon, the minimum sentence
must be one of 15 years without parole of any kind and the first ten years of
the sentence must be served in a jail NOT any other institution like a halfway
house etc.
And
prosecutors or judges all of whom are not elected officials who do not adhere
to these new regulations must be FIRED and prohibited from ever holding or
working for any government position or within any government agency for life.
Plus receive a fine, a minimum fine of $1 MILLION for not protecting the
victims and innocent citizens worldwide.
