The Freedom Files

Class 2

University of California, Berkeley, 2191

I showed up to class early to make sure I got a good seat, but apparently I wasn’t the only one excited, because the auditorium was nearly filled, With a half an hour before class was supposed to start. Some of the younger people were already in a heated discussion about the story.

It’s sad that they have to use drugs to get their point across, One of them said.

Another fired back, What you’re calling drugs is nothing more than a weed and the main ingredient in that green mush they serve us to prevent cancer.

A silver-haired beauty popped her head out of the crowd and said, That green mush is called Canniboid, named for the Cannabis plant that in the past was viewed as a drug and called marijuana. We obviously know better now, right? She looked at the original commenter with a motherly stare.

He put his head down and said under his breath, Yeah, I guess so.

I made my way over to the silver-headed siren. Hello, I’m Dax. I stuck out my hand."

Hello, I’m Abby. She smiled warmly.

Is this seat taken? I asked.

Oh, no… She shook her head and grabbed her stuff that was piling over into the seat.

So did you get the chance to read the whole thing? I asked, and then felt dumb as soon as it left my lips, of course she had.

She didn’t seem to mind as she gave me the breakdown of her feelings about the book and how much it resonated with her. I was lost in her words and drawn in by her beauty. The time must have flown past us because before I could even respond we were standing up applauding the former President as she started the class.

Who can tell me which constitutional amendment we wrote after this book was used in the Continental Congress?

The 28thamendment. Section one states that health care is a basic right for a developed nation and should be shielded from open market factors, Abby said before anyone in the room could answer.

Excellent, Ms. Lennon. She smiled at her and then asked, Can you tell us why the cancer culture helped us come to that conclusion?

Abby sat up looked at me out of the corner of her eye and cracked a slight smile before answering, Madam President. I think the story highlights what can happen when we allow profit to drive our decisions about healthcare.

Yes. Now can anyone expand upon our decision as it pertains to the story?

A young man on the other side of the room was called on and explained how healthcare for profit led to inflated prices and limited access to those on the lower side of the economic scale. He insisted that the man who died of cancer did so because of his own ignorance and suggested that what had been known as the Conservative Brain disease made the whole country go mad.

The President stopped him and explained how he was just perpetuating the propaganda the corporations used to separate us and conquer us. She explained how they first used the conservative machine against America, not by some brain disease but by simple conditioning. They found what the conservatives deeply cared about and they just attached their agenda to it. Every time some would mention Abortion, they would attach the government is killing babies mantra to it, implying that the government is evil. Outsourcing became a rallying call for fewer regulations and the abolition of taxation, by implying that corporations moved off shore because our government was trying to control them or take away their freedom. She went on to explain that the reality was far from the truth and to blame any single group was wrong. What the people failed to realize was that the government is the people.

Look in the mirror. That is the government.

She paused and the room fell silent as we thought about her words.Then she changed the subject. Has anyone here known anyone who has died of cancer?

No one said anything, but I raised my hand.

Yes, Mr. Dukain, please share your experience.

My grandfather was one of the last known cases. I was seven at the time. He and a group of people refused to take the daily canniboid slush because they thought it was used to control their minds. I chuckled a little at the absurdity of that statement. It was widely publicized that Canniboid was made of wormwood, turmeric, whole cannabis, pectin, and spirulena. The corporations of the world had started requiring the daily sludge because it completely prevents cancer from forming.

I assume you chuckled because you realize that Canniboid is a perfect example of the baby and the bathwater analogy, she stated.

I nodded.

"OK, then, it’s safe to say that cancer as they knew it did not have to exist, yet it did, why? I’ll tell you why because sometimes the biggest questions are solved with simple solutions and simple solutions are often hard to control and profit from. Many of the solutions to the energy crises were found in the work of Nicola Tesla 150 years after he first wrote about them. I could go on and on. What we found was that in certain parts of the economy we just couldn’t allow open and free markets such as Health, Education, Defense, Prisons, Postal Services, Infrastructure. These are things that can’t be outsourced or privatized. This story helped introduce our newly elected officials to ideas that were different and flew in the face of their upbringing and education they had been exposed to during the corporate years. It also gave them a small glimpse of how easy it is to push people into radicalism and gave us a baseline for where we want our people to be.

Can anyone tell me the three things we believe people need to feel content within society?"

Someone two seats down was called on. Autonomy, purpose and mastery, the student responded.

She smiled, and said, I see you all know, so what do the words mean and why? Let’s start with Autonomy.

A girl in the back yelled out, freedom, but the young man in the front had a more precise response, saying, It’s our desire to use the ability to reason and to make decisions on our own without being coerced.

Yes, the President said. Immanuel Kant wrote, ‘Have courage to use your own reason! That is the motto of enlightenment.’ Make no mistake about it, we are attempting to build upon the age of Enlightenment and the work our founders did in perpetuating the best of what western philosophy has produced.She paused and looked down at her notes then said. Now ‘purpose,’ can someone tell me what we meant when we added ‘purpose’ to the second declaration?

I raised my hand, but someone behind me was called on.

The reason something exists, he blurted out.

"Yes. We found that Aristotle, Aquinas and Kant all wrestled with the question about the meaning of life. In the end, we used the word ‘purpose’ instead of ‘meaning’ to explain what we intrinsically want. Purpose was missing in the corporate cog model and it was replaced with duty and survival. People want to feel like they are a part of something important that will go beyond their day to day grind. The jobs in the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century lost creativity and purpose. Duty and survival became the only reason for a job. In this destructive circular model, the employee or wage slave needs to make money because they need to pay for the right to live. Unfortunately duty and survival do not mean purpose and the populous therefore always felt oppressed. Sadly the ruling class also started an
