The following most assuredly points us to the very essence of much of what we see nationwide in this very deliberately now, barely-still Constitutional Representative Republic: "...Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other..." This quote is from John Adams (1734-1826), a signatory of the Declaration of Independence, one of the framers of the Constitution, and the second president of the United States of America. This quote, and especially its famous last line, expresses a sentiment widely held among the statesmen of the Founding Generation that no matter how well a constitution is constructed, It will not insure freedom and prosperity unless it is supported by a moral, virtuous population. https://lnkd.in/gBcpSstR

Independence and freedom are complex concepts. They trace back to the religious notion of free will and are related to the mystique of sovereignty found at the foundation of every absolute monarchy, modeled on the Ancient Gods and reigning by the grace of belief in a religious obligation. Independence and freedom would never have acquired the significance they hold today without this backdrop. These ideals owe their existence to past oppressions and are sustained by forces inevitably doomed to wear out unless periodically reinvigorated by spectacular lessons or new oppressions. In our contemporary era, the brilliance of these ideals fades, overshadowed by regulations erected in the name of our security but which, in reality, erode our freedom, thus turning protection into an invisible cage. #Dune #Freedom #Independence #FreeWill #RegulationVsLiberty

It’s going on I. The USA currently. Under Obama-Biden administration 4 million Veterans between the ages of 20-50 died from the Overprescribed Opiods and malpractice at the VA Hospitals alone! 4 million dead Veterans. That’s 1/6 the population. Hitler on killed 11/121 million or roughly 1/12. Therefore, the target population of Veterans killed under Obama-Biden was twice as bad as Hitler’s Camps. Now we see the “Open Borders.” Not only that but proof of Domestic Terrorism bc 6 States went so far as to illegally edit the Constitutional requirements for Candidates of Congress by pen. Only Veterans understand the gravity of these crimes and the consequences of the loss of Veterans with the increased Invasion at the Borders.

FECRIS and Third Parties: How Manipulation and Slander Undermine Freedom of Speech in Europe Part 3 Heroes Fighting for Freedom Despite this grim picture, even in conditions of severe information pressure, there are those who continue to fight for religious freedom. In particular, representatives of the German scientific community, daring to speak out against attacks on religious freedoms and defending democratic principles, demonstrate true courage and dignity. Their activities remind us that even in the most challenging conditions, there will always be people willing to stand up for fundamental rights and freedoms. This gives hope that one day the principles of respect for religious beliefs and freedom of thought will be honored in all countries, and attacks on those who defend them will become a thing of the past. Conclusion Third parties, such as FECRIS, operate covertly, but their influence on public opinion and politicians is immense. They use tactics of slander and public pressure to suppress religious freedom and silence those who defend human rights. It is important to be aware of these mechanisms and fight against them, protecting the democratic principles and freedoms guaranteed to each of us. https://lnkd.in/er7iB_Fa https://lnkd.in/exw7wgDZ #FECRIS #HumanRights #ReligiousFreedom #FreedomOfSpeech #Europe #AntiCult #Manipulation #Democracy #EgonCholakian #Slander #CulturalHeritage #Germany #UniversalDeclaration #FirstAmendment #USConstitution

To the kind attention of my colleagues in the #Interreligious #dialogue field, As advocates and believers for the protection of sacred sites, I urge you to raise your voice against the ongoing destruction of historical Armenian churches and religious symbols. #Azerbaijan has destroyed or distorted these places of #worship...Do not be fooled by Aliyev's state propaganda of being beacons of religious tolerance; look at their actions, remember their war crimes and crimes against humanity committed just couple of months ago that resulted in the complete ethnic cleansing of the entire indigenous Armenian population from their historical ancestral homelands... While they invest huge political and diplomatic resources to present an image of harmony and respect for all faiths, the systematic destruction and alteration of Armenian religious sites reveal completely a different reality. This is just a hypocrisy that contradicts the essence of religious freedom/diversity and cultural preservation. Your #voice matters in raising awareness and stopping the ongoing erasure of religious and cultural heritage that belongs to all of #humanity. P.s. 1- This has nothing to do with being impartial or neutral. Speaking against erasure of places of worship and holding the perpetraitors accountable is part of our mission to promote peace and harmony. 2- Since I am an Armenian, this post might sound like a biased statement for some of you, but It is not. I am aware of my own biases. I truely beleive that these sites belong to our collective history and preserving them is our responsibility.
