Dear VCC Community, I think it is fair to say that those who wish to enslave, control, and diminish our humanity are not done with us. There is no reason to believe that our rights and freedoms are secure. If anything, these last many months have revealed the extent of the corruption, deception and depravity of those we’ve entrusted to safeguard our rights and freedoms. I fully expect masking, vaccine, and other mandates to be re-instated, if only to test the level of compliance or independence among humanity now. Vincent Gircys has repeatedly
declared that this time is an integrity test. Greg Hill from Free2Fly penned this declaration of courage: “Central pillars of our liberal democracies are eroding. We are losing free speech and bodily autonomy. Group-think and cancel culture are rising while the electronic surveillance state controls much of life. There is only one way to arrest this trend. Men and women must courageously and publicly take unrelenting positions against it. We must refuse to assent to the lies dismantling our societies, tearing away our freedoms, and removing our power as
free beings.” It’s time to declare the kind of society we want to leave our children and grandchildren. Our declaration must be with our actions. Words by themselves are not enough. I actually relish this time. How often does an individual get to actively participate in the creation of a better society? No doubt there will continue to be consequences for our righteous stand and declarations of freedom over tyranny. Witness the trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber. However, I much prefer these consequences to the alternative. I’m encouraged by the wisdom of those who have experienced tyranny before and stood up to oppose it. They recognize the significance of this time. They know that all that we thought
important pales in comparison to what we do now. I also know the value of overcoming adversity and the gifts it brings. I’ve often said as a result of my time as a psychotherapist that “suffering is the gateway to wisdom”. But I like the words of Victor Hugo best when he stated - “It is by suffering that human beings become angels.” To all you freedom fighters, its time to put on your
wings. Ted You can download the Freedom Pledge POSTER and WALLET-SIZED CARD to carry with you and share with
