What does it mean to be Sovereign?
Sovereignty is not reserved solely for states, nation-states, or monarchies, but is an inherent quality bestowed upon every individual by creation. True sovereignty means that no person is obligated to submit to any individual, group, agency, state, or monarchy that imposes tyrannical demands or threatens our lives and liberties. Our essence, derived from the eternal, owes allegiance only to that eternal source. As sovereign beings, we are endowed with the sacred right and duty to uphold truth, fairness, and justice. We do not bow to those who desecrate the sanctity of life, nor of creation. Sovereign individuals, who make up the homo sapiens species on this planet, are ordained by the great One being through which we have our being. We abide by the timeless principles of natural law and the laws of creation. No person, group, agency, government, or monarchy owns the manifest domain or has a claim to our lives or labor. No social construct has the authority to enslave us or use coercion or force against us.
As envisioned by the Founding Fathers in the United States Constitution, every human is endowed by their Creator with inalienable natural rights - chiefly, the rights to Freedom, Life, and Liberty. It is both our right and our sacred duty to defend these against any who would seek to violate them, whether individuals, corporations, or governments. By upholding these rights, we keep the flame of liberty burning, 🔥guarding against the darkness of tyranny that seeks to enslave us across generations.
