The coming slaughter over our
"freedom/liberty" (the two words are NOT the same) will probably be long and prophetic.
I ran across a good description of the two words,
here.
FREEDOM is NOT Liberty
From a linguistic, definitional and etymological perspective, these two words do not have the same meaning.
I assert that in fact, FREEDOM is a fabricated imposture for Liberty.
The founders of the United States understood this critical difference.
This is why Liberty is the word used in the Declaration of Independence.
Below is a comparison between the two words.
This example, while not fully documented here, provides substantial and sound assertions.
This comes after years of study in linguistics, etymology and history, as well as being a scholar and speaker of several languages.
FREEDOM
This word has two roots: In order to fully understand it's meaning it is necessary to examine it's roots.FREE means that which is unrestrained.
This sounds pretty good.
Most everybody would agree that they want to choose for themselves.
DOM means to control or dominate.
FREEDOM linguistically and etymologically means:"Control/Domination over those who claim to be free"
When you see a bumper sticker that says: "Freedom is not Free", they are 100% correct.
Freedom is not FREE. It is not LIBERTY. It is a 'word-game' meaning bondage.
Please look up the meanings of the term 'DOM' in the dictionary, Black's Law Dictionary and it's historic usage and etymological meaning.
You will always find this word related to CONTROL and DOMINATION.
Those who act irresponsibly and without restraint exercising their inherent powers without regard to causing harm, must be controlled and dominated by definition of the LAW.
FREEDOM is like a blank check saying:"do whatever you want, hurt whoever you want,
but we will execute judgment upon you for your harmful actions"
It is extremely important to realize that those who are FREE, and have LIBERTY must live by the golden rule
or they are instantly 'transformed' (X-FORMED, "x marks the spot") into those who are subject to 'FREEDOM'.
LIBERTY
Contrary to many studies on the historic meaning of this word, the true root meaning originates in:LIBE in indo-european (aka: Germanic languages, the 'mother tongue')
LIBE means LOVE or that which one loves.
Also LIBE refers to LEBEN which mean LIFE.
Therefore Liberty means LOVE and LIFE.
These word/meanings are fundamental connected meanings of LIBERTY.
The writers of the declaration of Independence understand this.
That is why they did not use the "false" substitute-word 'FREEDOM' which truly is an imposture.
I want this information to be of benefit to my brothers and sisters on this planet.
If you read this, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE spread the word.
Love you all... Wishing you all happiness and joy.... Mar 02 2011 17:39:34
Don't join a militia.
If you haven't any military experience by now, the best you can do is find a gun club and go to their range and get an education with lots of practice.
Depending on your age, learn how to survive a long hike and become good at packing light.
Learn how to camp, and learn how to become a sniper(there are books to read).
You got some bad information. “Liberty” derives from the Latin “liber,” which means “free.” “Dom” does not mean control or domination. It means status or condition. So “freedom” means the condition or state of being free, which is synonymous with “liberty.”
