The Pledge of Allegiance

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by socialist minister Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). Originally published in The Youth's Companion on September 8, 1892. Bellamy hoped the pledge would be used by citizens in any country. In original form read: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

One of the most influential tracts of the revolution. Refuted the Divine Right of Kings in support of popular sovereignty and independence from Britain. Political pamphleteer Thomas Paine’s 1776 pamphlet Common Sense. An English-born American who came to Philadelphia in 1744, he questioned not only the king’s policies but also legitimacy of the king’s rule and power. To do this, he took references from the Bible also found in earlier Christian political writings in Europe, including John Ponet’s 1556 Short Treatise and Samuel Rutherford’s 1644 Lex Rex. Paine put these ideas fresh into revolutionary-era Americans' minds. Arguing the American cause should not just be revolution against taxes but of independence. Selling more than 500,000 copies, Paine’s pamphlet, more than any other revolutionary writing, paved the way for the Declaration of Independence.

Quite the Spiraling Declaration. Mom Janet, Great Anticipator.

Independence's nemesis is elitist subversion throughout history. American Thinking framed by Public Relations, maintaining two supposed platforms from which inconclusive, incessant gibberish ensued. Enabling the Pollution and Destruction of Earth's Interests for the Last Three Full Generations. To profit people of Dr. Armand Hammer's ilk. Dedicated to what's gotten away with, is good enough to get away with something else.

Americans id not have a choice of gas or electric. Force fed the choice gas over electric. Not, "ooo look what Americans are doing?" Electric in every filling station or conspiracy against environment continues unabated. Elon Musk defames TESLA'S name. Not offering affordable electric as proof. Racist Henry Ford's Model T, miraculous development. Musk? Celebrity shortcuts anything.

Confusing? But good answers are good enough questions for the moment.

War, the commercial enterprise? One in Vietnam was one of the many scapegoated excuses to experiment, test and make money from weaponry and collateral damage, etc. Tradition ignited during commercially successful American Civil War. As World's Hierarchical Male Pyramid has accomplished, throughout history, to all the fanfare they can muster. GOD damn. Amen.

Yeah, miss yoga in the park a lot. Sure, do it anyway. But that yoga in the park was darn special. And much about life if not done anyway is to our detriments. So yoga in the park, anyway. Anywhere. Still not done it. Imagine Instructor's frustration reading the admission she shouldn't be bothered with anyway? SERENITY! Didn't learn anything from yoga? Well? Let me think about it. Savasana
