Aaron Swartz Died For Our Liberty And The Duty of Civil Disobedience

Aaron Swartz is dead.

He is dead because he was silent.

When it came to “Saving the world” Aaron was ready, like most of us, but unlike the rest of us HE SPOKE UP. But in the glamour of his personal victory for the collective; he lost sight that the most important battle he was fighting for us all, was his own. And so that is true for us all. 

We cannot solve our individual problems alone. The system is too complex. Our society, is too chaotic and overbearing. Because as a collective we are unstoppable. Aaron used mobilization of minds to collaborate for ONE VOICE.

Silence, is what brought us here. As it has been said, time and time again; “The only thing evil counts on to prevail in times of injustice; is that good men will do nothing.”

Aaron, forgot or neglected the fact that could have saved him. WE could have saved him and he neglected to ask that collective for help. He thought that if played the game and stayed silent from the inside, by their rules he would be fine because he was on the Righteous Path. He did not know, they can write their own rules as they see fit and that, Law in America is not based on the rights of the individual anymore. Those have been shirked for profit and greed. There is no justice for the individual in American law unless you are aware of the Case Law. This is exactly what Aaron wanted to change. He wanted to give you access to the laws that set you free and all of the information that sets you free. Information wants to be free and it's nature is Liberate the Mind.

Staying silent about his individual battles; because it was thought to be his fight he allowed himself to be martyred. If you knew Aaron Swartz personally, please contact me. I want to help. It is not over for Aaron or us. Please, he did not die in vain. I would have been by his side had I known then and there are tens of millions across the world that believe that to be true as well.

Aaron wasn’t just fighting his own battles, his battle IS OUR BATTLE!

Let this be a lesson to all those experiencing his brand of injustice or any. DO NOT REMAIN SILENT. YOUR SPEECH IS PROTECTED. GAG ORDER OR NOT. Aaron was right, “You are making a difference. Your voice is being heard.” He is dead now, and the US Attorney made an example of him whilst MIT watched. Well, we have gotten word.

The PEOPLE are watching now and we want REAL CHANGE!

STOP SOPA! LONG LIVE FREE NET! NET NEUTRALITY!

Like every one of you; I want to help carry on Aaron's legacy. The legacy of many men and women before him. I want to prove to Aaron that he was right. That the people will do the right thing with knowledge and information. The internet, an education and intercommunication is a Natural Right. We have to educate ourselves to survive, so the Government cannot control information. We have to be able to Communicate with each other. A scientific or medical review, is protected by free speech and cannot be locked away. those scientists and doctors and engineers didn't perform that work so it could get locked up in another PAPAL LIBRARY. That's what the JSTOR, PATENT OFFICE and the CORPORATIONS ARE PROTECTING!

Technology, that would so drastically improve our way of life that it shattered the fabric of our society? Government was no longer needed to provide 90% of its services. It would have to return to a mere representive of the people? This is a bad thing? Only for one entity. If you can't see it, I am sorry. It is not because you are not smart, it is because the information has been kept from you, so obviously.

This is the injustice that he was fighting every day. This is the same injustice we all fight every day.

I'm not playin around...

Thompson vs. Smith, 154 S.E. 579 at 583
"The right of a citizen to travel upon the PUBLIC highways and to transport his property thereon in the ordinary course of like and business is a common right which he has under his right to enjoy life and liberty, to acquire and possess property, and to pursue happiness and safety."

Routh vs. Quinn, 20 Cal 2d 488
"No statutory duty lies to APPLY for, or to POSSESS a drivers license for personal travel and transportation as as defendant is not within the class of persons for whose benefit or protection the statute was enacted."

Tech Lines vs. Danforth, Miss. 12 So 2d 784, 787
"The courts recognize that private travel is a fundamental right. The right to travel on the public highways is a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT."

Kent vs. Dules, 357 U.S. 116 (1958)
"The right to travel is part of the "liberty" of which a citizen cannot be deprived without due process of law under the Fifth Amendment."

Murdock vs. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105 (1943)
"No State shall convert a liberty into a privilege, license it, and charge a fee therefore."

SHUTTLESWORTH V. CITY OF BIRMINGHAM, 373 U.S. 262 (1963)
"If the State converts a right (liberty) into a privilege, the citizen can IGNORE the license and fee and engage in the right (liberty) with IMPUNITY."

I believe these ljudgements are relative to our access to the "INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY" and all of the data that comes with it. We need to stand up as one voice to defeat this monster called our own ignorance once and for all. Because each one of us, is an Aaron Swartz; someone who saw the problems with society. What is different in men and women like him is this; they didn't know they couldn't change the world.

The information wants to be free. Long Live Aaron Swartz! Will you join me?
