I only want a simple uncomplicated life… a little farm near the sea…
some sheep… a few dogs… a fine family… that’s all really… I do not ask
for much from the world… let me keep what I worked hard for and don’t
force me to pay for things I neither want, need or believe in – even
better. Don’t take away my beliefs – don’t criminalize me or label me
an extremist or a terrorist for not wanting to give up my beliefs and my
lifestyle and don’t force me to accept a perverted ideal… and we’ll get
along great…
I am not a soldier. I am not a militant and I don’t want to go to
war… I do not want to hurt anyone and I would rather not ever have to
kill another man… but I am running out of places to hide away from the
world to be simply just left alone and live my life on my terms… with my
beliefs and my faith. I came to the realization a while back that the
world wont just leave me alone and allow me to live as I chose to live
without compromising the morals and values I have chosen to anchor my
life with… and I am tired of running… I am tired of giving… I am tired
of compromising to a minority group… I am tired and I am getting angry… I
am a peaceful man… I can be a very gentle and kind man… but… my country
has gone too far… the world has gone too far… and if I am to be the man
I aspire to be… I must draw a line here and say – no more will I give
away… no more of this filth can I take… no more will I compromise… this
is my choice and I will stand by it…
I do not hide the fact that my past is colored by questionable
activities… that was my past and I own it… I take responsibility for it
and make no excuses for it… it happened… my journey here has been long
and not always an easy one… and sometimes I have had to do things to eat
and shelter myself that were dishonorable… I wish things could have
been different but desperate men do desperate things… I have never asked
for a hand out and I do not want one… I do not want to be taken care of
and I do not want welfare… I want work… opportunities to make an honest
living and keep what I have earned. I have admitted and will do so
again – I have never been part of the solution to the problems of the
world… and have no fear admitting that I have been a very big part of
those problems… the biggest fault being not caring enough to do
something… and this is the problem amongst many would be good men – they
just don’t care enough and they are afraid… afraid of losing what they
have… afraid of not being able to have the things they think they need…
afraid of what the rest will say and think of them for not going along
with the rest of the crowd… that was, I think until men like Simon, Head
of our Legion, began writing for the common man, the disillusioned man,
the jaded man… and we started talking and spreading our thoughts and
ideas that now those that were afraid to speak up are coming to see that
they are not alone… there is a brotherhood of men gathering that are
willing to push back… to fight for what is ours – for the world we were
robbed of and the chances that were taken from us… a better life that we
all could have had today… we are not drafting men to our cause – they
are coming together of their own free will… we are not forcing our
beliefs on anyone – we have simply decided to keep what’s ours by force
and to protect and stand at the side of those willing to help us to
protect it.
I am not a NAZI like those who want to take away my beliefs. I am
not a fascist like those that want to force their perversions on me. I
am not an extremist because I want to live a simple uncomplicated life…
and neither are the rest of the men joining our cause. All the men I
have spoken to feel the same as I do and are all pretty much as the men
Simon has described that he has spoken to… we want the simple things… to
live our life on our terms with the morals and values we have chosen to
anchor our lives by… to preserve the traditions of our faith and our
cultures… to have a family and to create and build something better…
the thunder you hear is the sound of men gathering… it is the sound of
civilization crumbling… it is the sound of us tearing it down… and
building it back up… it is the sound of our Legion.
