Earlier this week, Liberate Freedom co-founder and webmaster Ian MacKenzie was interviewed about the campaign by Open Democracy. Here’s an excerpt:
Basically, the idea of “freedom” has been hijacked by various political/corporate interests to further their own gain. We’re told that Islamic terrorists want to kill us for our freedom, and so we must “deliver” freedom unto them. And yet while these governments speak of the term, they secretly wiretap their citizens, hold people in prison without charge, and encourage a climate of fear and ignorance.
And so the campaign is calling for a reclaimation of freedom by asking people from all over the world to contribute a poem, a song, a reflection, a story, or a rant on what freedom means to them, and how the term can be liberated from fear, indoctrination and war. These entries are then collected and published online in the Living Archive and shared for others to comment, discuss, and hopefully, catalyze them into action.
