The Declaration of Independence
From the British Governments, United Kingdom and Grate Britain.

The unanimous Declaration of the KNIGHTS TEMPLAR ENGLAND,
When in the Course of England’s rights, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare in just causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable “Rights, which among these are Life, Liberty, Fairness, Freedom of free speech, and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security and the security of ENGLAND.
Such has been the patient sufferance of, England; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present Queen of Great Britain [Elizabeth II] and the British Governments, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over England and the People of England. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
The British Government has refused its Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
They has forbidden England to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till They Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, They have utterly neglected to attend to them.
They have refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of England’s people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
They have called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with their measures.
They have dissolved England’s Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness their invasions on the rights of the people of England.
They have refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the British Government remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
They have endeavoured to prevent England; for that purpose obstructing the Laws on the deportation of Foreigners; encourage their migrations into England, and lowering the conditions of entry into England.
They have obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing the Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers in England.
They have made Judges Dependent on governments will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
They has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance in taxes.
They have combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our English Traditions and unacknowledged by English laws; giving their Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of Dangerous illegal immigrants among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial or no Trial, from punishment for such as being Murders Hijackers, Rapist, and Drug dealers which they commit on the Inhabitants of England
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in England, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Countries:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments and English Traditions:
For suspending our own Legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
They have let our seas be plundered by all, ravaged our coasts, and our towns, and destroyed the lives of our local town’s families in giving away the homes to immigrants first.
They have excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and have endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our country.
We have petitioned for England’s in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Government, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our English Traditions here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives KNIGHTS TEMPLAR of ENGLAND, Assembled, appealing to, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth (ll) and her Government and the Governments of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the Knights Templar of England, solemnly publish and declare, That England is, and of Right ought to be Free and a Independent Country; that we are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown and Governments, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free Independent England, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent Countries may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honour.
