WHERE'S THE REVOLUTION? BLOG #120; FEB 28, 2014








THE MESSAGE:


THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION OF 2014???



Les Miserables: Claude-Michel Schonberg


Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!












Workers have taken to the streets to demand more pay, a larger share of corporate profits, a shorter work week, more benefits, lower taxes and a more democratic society.
Cars have been overturned, store windows smashed, buildings have been torched and looting is rampant in every major city of America except Detroit. 
Students have invaded the offices of College Loan Administration and destroyed all records. Now they owe nothing! The Boston Bruins are trailing the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 and people in this Massachusetts capital are not happy.

Common targets of looters are the Banks, Gun Shops, Furriers, Jewellers and Lingerie boutiques of America. City Police forces are being overwhelmed. 

Mayors are pleading for assistance from State Troopers The National Guard, The US Armed Forces and even the Boy Scouts of America.

Trade Unions have overpowered security forces and have taken control of the US National TV and Radio Broadcast Networks. Homes are being invaded and people are being forced to watch re runs of 'Survivor'. 

Teamsters are producing false traffic reports. Highways and city expressways are jammed. Semis are being hi-jacked at gun point.


The Internet has been hacked by the Senior Citizens Assn. Facebook is no longer available in the USA. 


The White House has been painted dark green with red patches and gold coloured windows. The President has soiled himself for the fifteenth time and the Vice President is refusing to clean it up. 


THE REAL PICTURE?
American institutions are fading. The news is all bad or at best jaded. Activists harp on and worry about their bit-coins. Obama lies, Kerry deflects, Hillary waits impatiently and licks her chops. Sarah Pailin was a spectator at Sochi; from her backyard. The Yankees get Tanaka who takes a charter jet, with his family, from Japan. Pro athletes and movie starts make millions while others struggle but still watch...and somehow pay. The beat (down) goes on!  
Fox Quickshot repaints the 'Situation Room'!


and Jay Bird is no more.


The latest polls indicate most people are worried. 

THE NATION IS IN CHAOS!


Have you ever wondered why there is no modern revolution in America, or at least a major wave of reform?



According to 'Media Blasts', "middle class incomes are shrinking, the ranks of the poor are swelling, almost all the economic gains are going to the top 1 percent of the nation.
Big money is manipulating the outcome of what is supposed to be a fair capitalistic democracy. So why, you may ask, has the proletariat not awakened to take control?

ANSWERS?

  1. The workers fear losing the jobs and wages they already have. Unions have been largely placated by politicians with bogus promises and the fact that union leaders are generously compensated.
     
  2. Government has fooled the working class with bandaid solutions like minimum wage laws, caps on weekly working hours, job security, old-age security, and health insurance benefits.
  3. The Political Left is filled with a non-united and fruitless set of causes: global warming, carbon footprint, animal rights, aboriginal empathy, public ownership of resources, racism and gun control etc.
  4. The Political Right concentrates on pushing for freedom from 'big government', a market system of resource distribution, private ownership, freedom to control one's earned rewards, the notion that opportunity is abundant and hard work pays off etc.

  5. The 'silent majority' sits on its hands, shrugs and watches the political struggle in a disaffected way. People have become cynical and complacent. Big money is in control of big government.



STOP AND ASK YOURSELF......

Could it be that activists, religious fanatics and alarmists don't know what the truth is? Have they been brainwashed by the churches? Are their opinions and interpretations accurate and well thought through? Or don't politicians  and NIMBYS want you to find out the truth because they have a hidden agenda? 



QUESTION:
 
Where does one find the truth?

MY MOM USED TO SAY: "La verità si trove nel tuo cuore" (truth is found in your heart)

QUOTE: 

"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth".-Marcus Aurelius
