The document outlines a manifesto put forth by an organization called the BRIGHTS that calls for the consolidation of power and control over society. It asserts that only the BRIGHTS, by virtue of their superior intellect and wisdom, are fit to rule. It lays out 48 principles that would establish the BRIGHTS philosophy as the sole basis for law and governance. This includes denying the existence of God or absolute moral truths, granting the BRIGHTS unlimited powers and controlling all aspects of society, from education to history to speech. The intended goal is for the BRIGHTS to become the unquestioned rulers and for their ideology to be universally accepted without opposition.

1. The Bill of Frights
(aka The BRIGHTS Manifesto)
A Declaration of the Principles and Premises of the Wrong-Wing of the
American Political Universe.
When in the course of societal evolution, it becomes necessary for
those most fit to rule, by virtue of their greater education, wisdom,
goodness and moral enlightenment (hereinafter referred to as the
BRIGHTS, for Benevolent, Rational, Insightful, God-like Humanists
Transforming Society) to dissolve the political constraints which have
heretofore unjustly lumped them with the Masses, especially the
dense, poorly educated and unenlightened DIMS (Diminished Intellects,
Morally Stunted), and to assume among the powers of the earth, the
separate and enhanced station to which the Laws of Reason entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of humankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
Therefore, We the BRIGHTS, in Order to consolidate more perfect
Control, establish perfect social and economic Justice, insure domestic
Subservience, provide for a common Standard of Living, promote
universal Welfare, and secure the Benefits of BRIGHTS Governance to
ourselves, the Masses and our Posterity, do set forth these non-
negotiable principles and premises of the BRIGHTS Philosophy and
Agenda.

2. Article 1. There is no god. Allegiances among the Masses to any
mythical being or beings shall not be recognized in law in any way.
Article 2. There are no supernatural beings or phenomena. We the
BRIGHTS have complete faith that claims of miraculous phenomena can
only be based on poor observation and interpretation.
Article 3. There is no natural law. All genuine law and moral principle is
positively determined by the BRIGHTS based on their vision, their will
and their principle of reason, uncontaminated by religion or other
antiquated traditions and superstitions.
Article 4. There are no absolute truths except that there are no
absolute truths. All moral truth shall be determined by the BRIGHTS
relative to the BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and agenda.
Article 5. Freedom of individual conscience shall be paramount so long
as it does not conflict with the BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and
agenda.
Article 6. Free exercise of religion shall be confined to harmless
worship. No precepts of any religion regarding relationships among
human beings or communities, especially those precepts considered to
apply beyond the adherents of a particular religion to the whole of
society, shall be recognized in law, except insofar as they are consistent
with the philosophy and principles of the BRIGHTS.
Article 7. Free exercise of the BRIGHTS government to counteract and
destroy the antiquated, ignorant and oppressive moral and religious
precepts of the DIMS shall not be questioned.

3. Article 8. To accelerate the demolition of the oppressive DIMS
worldview, especially among their impressionable young, their
historical heroes and icons shall be portrayed as having serious
character flaws, as hypocrites, and even as SADS (Sexual Affinity
Disorder Sufferers), regardless of the scarcity of evidence to support
such portrayals.
Article 9. There shall be strict separation of church and state, except
for those churches or other religious institutions which are supportive
of the BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and agenda.
Article 10. BRIGHTS supporters who cling to superstitions regarding the
supernatural shall be co-opted by assurances that they are empowered
by their deity to support the BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and
agenda. This shall be regardless of how blatantly the traditional
teachings of their deity are violated or contradicted by the BRIGHTS.
Article 11. It shall be the ultimate objective of BRIGHTS governance
that the BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and agenda shall become
universally regarded as so benevolent, beneficial and wise as to never
be questioned or opposed and that the BRIGHTS themselves shall
become as gods, objects of worship in place of mythical beings.
Article 12. Scientific knowledge and principles shall be the basis of all
law except insofar as they may be inconsistent with the BRIGHTS
philosophy, principles and agenda.
Article 13. To accomplish the praiseworthy and benevolent ends of the
BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and agenda for all, any available means
may be justified and employed for as long as necessary.

4. Article 14. The powers of the BRIGHTS government shall be unlimited.
Obstacles to the progression of BRIGHTS governance, such as DIMS
allegiance to obsolete founding principles and documents of the nation,
shall be overcome through concerted BRIGHTS judicial interpretations
and exploitation of proven loopholes such as the words General
Welfare and Commerce. Whenever possible, troublesome but little
known provisions of such documents shall be simply ignored.
Article 15. Founding documents shall always be characterized as
“living” so as to imply progressiveness, easy adaptability, relevance to
current conditions and legitimacy of manipulations that suit the
BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and agenda. The writings of the Dead
White Male founders, many of whom clearly had no understanding of
human freedom, as shown by their ownership of slaves, shall be
ignored or discredited, especially insofar as they argued that their work
secured limited government.
Article 16. There is no creator capable of endowing human beings with
anything, and especially not unalienable rights. The BRIGHTS
specifically reject the Doctrine of Divine Endowment which the DIMS
claim is the premise of the nation. The BRIGHTS alone shall be as gods,
knowing right from wrong and dispensing perfect social and economic
justice in accordance with the principle of BRIGHTS reason.
Article 17. Individuals are included in or excluded from the moral
community of persons recognized under the law based on the criteria
established by the BRIGHTS in accordance with the principle of BRIGHTS
reason.
Article 18. Rights are granted or denied to all by choice of the BRIGHTS
based on the principle of BRIGHTS reason and recognizing only those

5. criteria for any choice to make such grants or denials that are approved
by the BRIGHTS. No rights shall be inherent with human lives based
only on their biological existence. We the BRIGHTS shall decide.
Article 19. Sufficiently undesirable or troublesome individuals or entire
populations, as determined by the BRIGHTS, shall be subjected to
demeaning and dehumanizing media campaigns, marginalized and
mentally relegated to subhuman categories in the public mind. They
shall be placed outside the moral community of persons, thereby
effectively removing conscience as an obstacle, such that anything can
be done to them in order to achieve the wise and benevolent BRIGHTS
objectives.
Article 20. There is no settled law. All laws arising from DIMS traditions
shall be subject to revision based on the BRIGHTS philosophy, principles
and agenda, especially those based on such oppressive ideas as
monogamous and solely heterosexual marriage and the sanctity of
human life. Existing laws bearing the taint of religion shall be especially
suspect.
Article 21. The BRIGHTS international movement shall insert such
vague, positive and harmless sounding terms as “reproductive health
care” into international documents and agreements such that they can
later be interpreted by BRIGHTS dominated judicial and administrative
bodies to include such practices as prenatal live dismemberment, and
held to be binding on all nations, even where DIMS traditions are still
strong, under such concepts as customary law.
Article 22. Everyone of any age has a fundamental right to have sexual
relations with any one or more individuals, animals or objects, at any
time, in any place, in any manner of their choosing. Sexual relations

6. shall be considered a need rather than simply a want, which must be
satisfied at any cost. The BRIGHTS government shall be empowered to
enable sexual relations of any kind for all, without adverse
consequences and regardless of any ignorant, backward and antiquated
DIMS religious precepts to the contrary.
Article 23. Everyone of any age has the right to terminate any condition
arising from the arbitrary caprices of nature which might result in the
unequal treatment of the sexes. No one shall have any responsibility or
obligation to any mere products of conception.
Article 24. Everyone has the right to a common standard of living as
determined by the BRIGHTS.
Article 25. Everyone shall be expected to contribute to society in
accordance with his or her abilities as determined by BRIGHTS wisdom.
Article 26. Everyone shall receive what is due him or her according to
his or her need as determined by BRIGHTS wisdom.
Article 27. The existence of material inequities in society being
evidence of structural economic injustices, the BRIGHTS government
must have the power to rectify such inequities and equalize living
standards for all.
Article 28. Those possessing greater wealth or receiving greater
incomes than others must be taxed more heavily than others because
that’s where the money is.
Article 29. The BRIGHTS government must have the power to rectify
historical social injustices based on race, ethnicity, sex, age, language,
national origin, sexual disorientation, lifestyles, deathstyles or other

7. common criteria for discrimination, based on BRIGHTS principles,
regardless of the degree of responsibility for such injustices or degree
of injury due to such injustices on the part of those now living.
Article 30. Responsibility for all social and individual problems shall be
attributed to society as a whole. The concept of individual
responsibility shall be erased from human memory to promote the
universal habit of looking to BRIGHTS wisdom for all decision-making.
Article 31. Negative consequences of foolhardy or immoral behavior as
judged under the DIMS value system, whether the behavior be
economic, social, political or otherwise, and regardless of how
predictable, shall be mitigated to the maximum extent possible and as
often as necessary. This is to demonstrate the infinite BRIGHTS
capacity for compassion, expand the pool of debilitated and indebted
individuals in need of the comprehensive BRIGHTS governance, and
ensure continued fealty to the BRIGHTS government. DIMS objections
to this approach as subsidizing bad behavior or moral hazards shall be
characterized as economically or socially disastrous, narrow-minded,
lacking in compassion and cruel.
Article 32. It being essential that the BRIGHTS control the present in
order to be able to control understanding of the past and thereby
control the future, the BRIGHTS must have the power to limit access of
the DIMS to communications media and the recording, interpretation
and teaching of history. This is to prevent the DIMS from infecting
society with antiquated and oppressive ideas that are contrary to the
BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and agenda. The BRIGHTS may rewrite
history as necessary to delete records of earlier failures in the
application of the BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and agenda.

8. Article 33. Only language such as libberish, approved by the BRIGHTS
government’s Ministry of Truth, shall be acceptable in public discourse
so as to discourage dissention from BRIGHTS policies and even the
thinking of heretical thoughts. Critical language shall be characterized
as hateful, racist, sexist, discriminatory, inciting violence, terroristic,
extreme or otherwise unacceptable and punishable regardless of the
absence of evidence for such characterizations. This is to bully and
intimidate any resisters, put them on the defensive and place them in
the logically impossible position of having to prove that they are not as
accused. False witness in the defense of the BRIGHTS philosophy,
principles and agenda shall be encouraged as patriotic, healing,
nurturing of brotherhood and promoting the eradication of bigotry and
hate, regardless of how hateful it is in itself.
Article 34. The BRIGHTS must keep the Masses focused on highly
emotional if illusory diversions (Hate, Imminent Environmental
Catastrophes, Energy Crises, Population Bombs, New Ice Ages, Debt
Bombs, Inflation, Global Warming, Nuclear Winter, HIV-AIDS
Pandemics, Unsafe Uterine Cleansing, etc.) sold as the moral equivalent
of war. Preoccupation with these wars is to prevent awareness of and
possible opposition to the stealthy and permanent consolidation of
BRIGHTS control which will bring the ultimate peace. Thus, War is
Peace.
Article 35. Freedom shall mean the ability to do anything one wants,
with no responsibilities or obligations attached. Obsolete visions of
freedom which incorporate such extraneous concepts are bondage to
antiquated, sentimental and oppressive ideas. Such Freedom is
Slavery.

9. Article 36. Schools shall be established to efficiently promote the
BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and agenda for the enlightenment of
the Masses. The schools shall not be permitted to provide more than a
shallow understanding of human history or any awareness of
antiquated ideas, concepts and principles that might cause anyone to
question the wisdom and moral authority of BRIGHTS governance and
thereby threaten the legitimacy of BRIGHTS rule. For the continued
flourishing of BRIGHTS governance, Ignorance is Strength.
Article 37. The primary BRIGHTS technique for public education shall
consist of loud, sustained, coordinated and consistent bleating from a
multiplicity of sources so as to create the impression of overwhelming
consensus by this proven principle of Four Legs Good, Two Legs Bad.
Dissent from BRIGHTS positions shall be discouraged by ridicule,
character assassination, career destruction, blacklisting and passionate
pronouncements that the debate, whatever the subject, is over.
Article 38. Ethnic diversity shall be celebrated to demonstrate BRIGHTS
benevolence and brotherhood. Religious diversity shall be exaggerated
so as to justify marginalizing in the name of religious equality any
ethical systems that could conceivably compete with or contradict the
BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and agenda. Diversity of thought,
especially of political opinion, shall be strongly suppressed. DIMS
resisters of the BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and agenda shall be
characterized as merely religious fanatics bent on forcing their narrow,
backward, ignorant and oppressive worldview on the whole of society.
Article 39. BRIGHTS supporters must be constantly discouraged from
entertaining dangerous ideas that they could be self-sufficient or in any
way able to function successfully without the benefits provided by

10. BRIGHTS governance. Their inherent incompetence and helplessness
without the BRIGHTS must be accepted beyond doubt. The underlying
negative and defeatist message that “you can’t” must be repeatedly
reinforced to crush any movement toward independence from BRIGHTS
governance and destroy their self-confidence, self-esteem, self-
reliance, initiative, hopes and dreams.
Article 40. The message “you’re on your own” and therefore helpless
without BRIGHTS governance must be driven home and believed by
BRIGHTS supporters in spite of the existence of family, religious and
fraternal associations, unions, co-operatives, profit-making and non-
profit corporations, insurance plans and all manner of other
organizations the Masses have historically created to manage their
affairs apart from the legal monopoly on the use of force and coercion
that is government.
Article 41. The BRIGHTS shall benevolently offer their wisdom and
judgment for the benefit of the Masses as a permanent solution when
the BRIGHTS concepts of peace, freedom and education produce their
usual social chaos. Should the offer be rejected, the BRIGHTS shall
take whatever steps they may deem necessary to assure permanent
BRIGHTS control anyway. The BRIGHTS shall always be positioned to
pose as the saviors of the Masses, especially where electoral choice is
still an option.
Article 42. The Masses must be constantly reminded of their
indebtedness to and dependence upon the BRIGHTS for providing them
with wise and morally enlightened governance which meets all their
needs and which should not be questioned. The Masses must learn to
ultimately love the BRIGHTS as though they were big brothers and

11. sisters, in spite of any disasters or sufferings that may be mistakenly
attributed to BRIGHTS policies, or any punishments that may be applied
against those who oppose the BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and
agenda.
Article 43. Crimes determined by the BRIGHTS to have been motivated
by hate, especially hate for the BRIGHTS philosophy, principles and
agenda, shall receive additional punishments regardless of DIMS
traditions prohibiting unusual punishments. Other thought crimes shall
also be enacted into law as BRIGHTS creativity deems necessary.
Article 44. Everyone shall have the right to vote for those candidates
and ballot questions approved by the BRIGHTS without regard to
national allegiance or ability to prove identity. BRIGHTS supporters
shall be encouraged to vote early and vote often and to assist BRIGHTS
supporters who are no longer living to exercise their right to vote as
well.
Article 45. The BRIGHTS must have the power to adjust the results of
elections in accordance with scientific statistical procedures when the
Masses have clearly erred in their judgments. Successful candidates
offered by the DIMS shall be harassed with constant recall campaigns.
Article 46. The Masses must be prevented from possessing weaponry
by which they might harm themselves or others, or even, unthinkable
as it may seem, rise up against BRIGHTS governance.
Article 47. Rights and principles not covered in this document shall be
determined by the BRIGHTS on an ad hoc basis.
Article 48. The BRIGHTS always know best. The Masses must learn to
leave the thinking to us.

12. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on our own
dazzling brilliance and moral perfection, and eagerly anticipating the
Triumph of the BRIGHTS Will, We the BRIGHTS pledge the lives,
fortunes and eternal futures of the Masses.
Done in Collusion by the Anonymous Consent of the BRIGHTS present
the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Selves two
thousand Eleven and of the Sovereignty of the United Nations the Sixty-
Seventh. In witness whereof We have hereunto refrained from
subscribing our Names.
