Americans have had enough!
Our politiciens are corrupt to the bone and shameless about it. It started with its obsene display when Cheney, our vice president publicly, and shamelessly was or still is on the board of directors of Haliburton (I know 100% he was on bpoard during clinton). Have you ever heard of conflic of interest?
So..our politicens have nothing to do with us, they are puppets put in power by corporations with money. And corporations are eating out the fabric of our country, like a virus...from inside out. And we are powerless...NO POWER AT ALL.
I have said many times in my other posts that U.S.A. is too big of a country for revolution and pockets of violence will be shut down quickly. We have already 3.6 million people in prisons (1-2% of our population), the highest of any country in the world in terms of percentage and we can easily add another 2%.
I come from Iran and we had a revolution in 1978. The mood of people I notice everyday here in Los Angeles is very similar to the mood of people before the Islamic Revolution. People are just tired of corruption. Obama has let us down big time! He has still not pulled out all our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. This will bring our nation to its knees. If you study Persian, Portugese, Spanish, British, Russian hegemonies you will understand that during big wars with a known enemy those nations get stronger ( for America it was ww1 and ww2) but when it comes to unknown enemies and shady wars, corruption takes place, mercenaries eat up money, and everything becomes disorganized. It's interesting that Persian, British, Russian empires dug their graves in Afganistan, and now it's our turn. Our tax money goes to killing mountain goats, farmers, kids. That can't be good!!!
So in face of all these corrpution and our powerlessness, most people I know, including myself has become absolutly passive! I call it passive revolution because our passivness has a goal.
People are buying less, less meat for example: Every other developed country has strict standards but this country. Here we serve "utility beef" which is basically old cows with diseases in haburgers that feed our children. For years we have asked for better quality controls, with no results. And yesterday I saw in the news that Cows in Chino, California are so sick that they are moved with fork lifts to be slaughtered for our hamurgers...yum yum. I always wanted to taste the meat of a cow that can't walk on its own.
So what we do in face of all these corrution and politiciens who sell their mother for money??!!! NOTHING! because nothing works!!! Nothing works!!! (nothing works with politiciens and nothing does actually work).
You might ask...how does doing nothing works. It's simple economy...supply and demand.
I stop buying beef all together. I stop going to doctors all together. I stop seeing my money greedy dentist all together. I stop working overtime. I stop working for min. wage. I stop driving. I stop traveling. I stop paying taxes. I stop shopping Chinese junk. I stop working for big corporations. I stop buying from big corporations. I stop watching commercials. I stop watching TV alltogther. I stop going to movies. I start doing everything myself...cook at home with products I grow or buy from direct, organic growers. I start reading more. I start doing things myself, not spening a penny but the absolute necessary things like water, flour, vegtables...you get the picture. Some of you may say...so you still rely on brands like Johnson and Johnson because they make the absolute necessary things.
Answer is no. I even make my own soap. Some of people I know might not go as extreme as me but I know they are buying even less of what they really need, They use less shampoo, less water, less of everything.
This new dynamic works against the rich! Works against teh greedy doctors, greedy CEOs.
The very rich has broken the back of this country, and we were absolutly powerless. 12 million people donated 20 dollars to 40 dollars to Ron Paul campaign for Presidency. It took only 7 CEOs of corporations to donate that much money to Obama campaign.
12 million people vs 7 people. and the 12 million is powerless!!!
This can not stand....this is top heavy. But you think those 7 people care??? nope. Those 7 people could be damn retards from what I know and maybe don't even care what will happen to their kids.
This is sad situation for the U.S. We stood by and watched how tabaccoo companies poisened us, killed us from inside. We stood by and watched how meat factories have given us all sort of cancers and diseases. We stood by and watched how CEOs closed factories and opened factories in Mexico and China. We stood by and watched how few rich people took our taxes and future and gave it to Wall Street. We stood and watched how Bush sent our kids and money to stupid wars. We stood by and watched how we got raped! And now we are depressed, so either we do suicide or we become violent.
Yes. It's time to get your weapons ready. Line up your pennies and buy that gun. You will need it!!!
