THE OWS MOVEMENT IS BEING DRIVEN TO REVOLUTION!
| THE OWS MOVEMENT IS BEING DRIVEN TO REVOLUTION! While so many have been hoping that the “Occupy Movement” could move forward without violence; history and my life experience indicate that such a hope is naive at best. The street actions imperil the powers that be who sincerely don’t give a damn where the chips fall in any recovery from our “Managed Depression”. They have already figured out how reap huge obscene profits from the disaster that they have created and are actively pursuing a political agenda that will return to them the unfettered, unregulated, economic anarchy of the 1920s and 30s. The Middle Class must be broken, brought to its knees begging for any scrap of employment. Labor Unions must be rendered totally impotent and any return of upward mobility of the middle class must be purchased from the 1%. I don’t know how Americans can continue to go to work, if they have a job, when a study requested by Bacchus and Grassley has been revealed, revealing that the 99% have had an income increase of 275% over the last 30 years while growth for the middle class has been 40% and the poorest Americans have seen only an 18% income growth rate. The latter two are now witnessing that meager growth being eaten away by the “”Economic Collapse”. This is intolerable! For those who find some sort of warped self-indulgent refuge in accusations that OWS does not have a formulated answer or a manifesto of demands; I would say to you that you are either playing a game or are stone stupid as the truth of the matter is that a generation of Americans is coming of age and demanding that there be a paradigm shift in American politics and economics that encompasses the totality of wrongs visited upon the populous of this nation ; that they be righted by those powers who know damn well the abuses and usurpations they have enacted, or if a systematic change is not possible; that that the system must destroyed and the players within it be brought to the people’s justice. In a corporate dominated America none of us matters as the self-anointed chosen few can manipulate on a worldwide playing field to reap their harvest of profit while literally raping any lower class of folks, or any nation they choose to bleed dry before moving on. Capitalism is not inherently evil but we have permitted the “Captains of Capitalism” to co-opt, corrupt and corrode our government to the point where their greed blackmails and pays off our officials as if they were well kept “Corporate Whores” obliged to bend over on demand and lie at every point to every question put to them. It’s always someone else’s fault. We have permitted Capitalists, by inaction, to become evil. We have allowed them to rewrite Machiavelli to such an extent that he would turn over in his grave to see how we have evolved. You cannot have a civil society without people being regulated by the rule of law lest they devolve into their most base animalistic instincts, into lawless anarchy devoid of any accountability. We must have boundaries, regulations. And now that Corporations has insisted on corporate personhood the same holds true for them. They must be subjected to rules, regulations, standards of transparency and accountability. If those steps are not taken the American public will be reduced to third world laborers, slaves to the corporate state, and I know that before that happens this nation will be torn asunder in steel, blood and fire in the streets. Forget all the talk of OWS being a peaceful movement. When we are pushed far enough, when tear gas and pepper spray, when rubber bullets fail; it will become live ammunition…and it will come from both sides in this nation armed to the teeth. The 1% have a great deal to fear as does the entire far right establishment. They are up against the most power force that exists: “An Idea Whose Time Has Come”. As the push back has begun OWS has already benefitted by increasing media coverage that the 30% undecided will not be able to ignore. And for those who fully believe that a revolution cannot happen in America: I say to you; you are damned fools. When you strike someone in this nation expect to be hit back! When all hell breaks loose you ought to consider what will happen; what the targets will be. If the Jeffersonian line of “tolerability” is crossed and the Kennedy observation that” “Those who make peaceful evolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.” comes into full play; cities will burn, people will be killed, banks will be looted of cash, corporate head quarters will be put to the torch, and as there are no wars without war crimes and war criminals, there are no revolutions without excesses; the most hated in the 1% will face assassinations, media hawkers of hate will have to flee for their lives; national guard armories and state police barracks will become battle fields for additional arms; stores will be looted for weapons and ammunition, food and medical supplies. Revolutions make citizen soldiers rapidly and a new leadership class in the streets will be born. Every attempt to minimize the OWS and a lack of a 1,2,3 agenda is folly. The agenda is simple; the restoration of responsible government in this nation and economic fair play. Those who would demonize that plea and label it socialist had best be prepared to see revolutionaries walking down the streets and slithering through the shadows of night fall. The police who hurl tear gas canisters and shock/flash grenades had best be prepared to find them hurled back as they were in the streets of Kent Ohio. There is yet time for sanity to prevail, but not very much, as the cold of winter approaches and the flexing of muscle to shut down the movement increases; so will the movement to strike back violence escalate. I don’t know how many will die; each will be a martyr whose blood will be avenged with more blood. I don’t know how much of our infra structure will go up in flames; how many bridges will be brought down to prevent troop movement; nor do I know how many and the nature of weapons will be liberated into the people’s hands; the fact remains that in any such conflagration; people are power and the numbers on the side of the 99%. Should the 1% cross the line to revolution they will lose to a revolt that will in the end be leftist in orientation and they will be destroyed in manner they cannot be begin to image because they firmly believe: “It can’t happen here”. They are up against something that they do not understand; they are hated,; they are outnumbered; and in a revolution they and their fortunes are expendable. When a government no longer serves its people; it will inevitable be brought down by the people. When a government becomes a collaborator with those who would suppress on oppress a people; they will destroy it. When elected leaders are guilty of collusion with oppressors they are brought to the peoples’ justice amidst the hostilities of Revolution. Wars and Revolution are not civil. When a Revolution is concluded those who have driven the people to such an act are those who will be persecuted, prosecuted and executed as enemies of the people and for the ravages that their actions have visited upon the masses. We are on the verge of things never being again as we have known them to be. It can happen here; it is more than likely now that it will happen here. The ideology puppets of the corporate right are signing their own death warrants and by their own hands they are consigning Capitalism as we have know it and they have fashioned it, to the dumpster of human history. One spark and all this will come to pass. The world is fractured and desperate. Desperation is the mother of Revolution. We are a desperate people!
