Declaration of Unification of the Human Family

Written by Devon Pendleton

Here at Occupy Boston we find ourselves living in a sustainable community running on alternative energy, driven by donations and the good-will of the people who have suffered at the hands of corporate thugs and banksters for far too long. When you follow the money, you are led along a trail laden with corruption, greed, apathy and misguided misallocation of human life and liberty for profit. Privatized banks engage in unethical lending and revocation of falsified wealth, and the privatized prison system holds our underprivileged youth hostage in obscene numbers.

It is time for a paradigm shift, an “Aha” moment when we step back from what we have accepted to be the norm and question everything around us. We can see throughout the course of history that any empire that has ever coined a currency has fallen; it is an inevitable result of inciting the accumulation of wealth and drives the always ever-increasing disparity between stratified classes in these societies. Capitalistic competition has driven technological innovation to a point but has also opened the door to artificial scarcity and planned obsolescence under the guise of brand-name, resulting in gross misuse of our planets finite resources. The Federal Reserve banking cartel has entrenched into our lives a system which feeds off the of the working people of the world and sustains only those who are part of this top 1% that we find ourselves at odds with as the 99% who have yet to thrive.

The arbitrary value of our fiat currency, disguised as government –controlled, is determined by speculation and the wants and needs of a highly privileged select cabal. This system has caused our species to stagnate, more physically connected than at any time in recorded history but more disconnected emotionally, culturally and environmentally. Our symbiotic relationship with our Mother Earth is being disregarded in pursuit of the bottom line of rapid production and forced infinite economic growth. This system is utterly unsustainable as demonstrated by the depravity that has overcome a world of opportunity; it is time for this system to go.

There are a multitude of viable alternatives waiting to be accepted as possible solutions, as relief from a system that oppresses its people and kills them slowly through stress, poison and lack of passionate exploration of one’s place in the world. We have been trained as working drones, and have become complacently accepting of debt slavery and greed as the nature of things… and we must learn again to see this as unnatural at the deepest level. We must restore a true, transparent democratic process on a global scale in order to address the issues we face in a manner that reflects the will of the majority and puts their human needs first. We must overcome the divisiveness that plagues every aspect of our toxic, elite-endorsed culture and begin once again to create our own culture based on true humanitarian values. It is time to cast aside false idols and remember how to see ourselves as a part of the greater human whole. We are more than capable of creating abundance together.

We have voices, we have solutions… this is a peaceful evolution.
