efined as the despotic abuse of authority, tyranny is everywhere in our society today, in our governments, in our media and in our consciousness. Examples are everywhere of the rampant abuses of power, of secretive agendas, the corruption of politicians and of manipulative media outlets, all commonly sharing a total disregard for any of our best interests. Instead of performing their sacred duty of defending our liberty and our humanity, they serve the elite. That the system is broken and simply cannot be saved from within needs to be the cornerstone of lasting solutions to these problems. The hour is late, and the time for change is now.
