"Enlighten the people… and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirit at the dawn of day."

Introduction
Some 250 years ago only a handful of American Revolutionaries managed to free the American colonies from the yoke of the most fearsome colonial power on earth. Nothing short of complete victory of good over evil weakened the resolve of these colonized men, not even the massacre of their innocent fellow citizens, destruction of their homes, hospitals, schools, and even burning of the White House.
There are at lease three great lessons to be learned from this great event. First, the American Revolution was the first noble revolution for a good cause and it was necessary to meet the challenge of that time. Second, the few men effecting the change were called “terrorists” by the colonial power that had set a price on their heads! Third, history repeats for those who do not read history.
History also tells us all great changes happen with a small number of people who are called extremists or revolutionaries. However, the reality is that like a coin, extremism has two sides, good and evil, depending on the education, ethics and conviction of the revolutionaries.
In contrast, some two centuries later, the so-called “War on Terror” is draining our human and financial resources and terrorizing the world is nothing but undoing the American Revolution. Thomas Jefferson would call it “Tyranny… of body and mind.” In short, this war is waged by the progeny of the other extremists who were opposed to the American Revolution from the start.
This website is an attempt to express my deep concern for an unprecedented assault of colonial mentality and hypocrisy on freedom and democracy, most ironically during the twenty-first century. The good news is that increasingly more Americans are waking up to the reality that they have been taken for a long ride and the time has finally come to reclaim this great country or soon to be one of the former great countries if we fail to save it.
America is being stripped of its fundamental and unique values that were meant to be a prerequisite for preservation of “government of the people.” We are suffering from a self-inflicted wound, and it is high time we recall Thomas Jefferson’s words, “An empire collapses more from within than from without.” This website, in the most simple way, will show how a minority motivated by ignorance, arrogance and greed is destroying America through conspiracy and falsehood with no regard for Truth that makes America free.
After this Home Page, pages 2, 3 and 4 will be called Roots of Terror, Liberator America, Colonizer America respectively. Page 5 will be the conclusion.
As a history lover I enrich my pages by inserting inspiring quotes and words of wisdom by some great thinkers who have walked our beautiful earth and completed the journey of life. In short, America is grappling with runaway hypocrisy. This is to be distinguished from mild hypocrisy that is an integral part of the defense mechanism in imperfect human beings.
“May God protect this empire from hypocrisy, enemy and drought.”
-Cyrus the Great, Persian emperor, 500 B.C.
“The world is a graveyard of empires that failed to meet the challenge of their time.”-Erich Fromm
