Guys, arguing amongst one another is the exact dance the republicans and democrats want us doing. So we don't pay attention. Talk about being conditioned, brainwashed and mind fucked. We allow all of them 576 (approx) to have health and retirement for life after just one term. WTF!! We allow lobbyist to run amok willfully and knowingly bidding to the highest dollar.
John your only concern is whether I am a democrat or not...sigh. I am neither.

"If a due participation of office is a matter of right, how are vacancies to be obtained? Those by death are few. By resignation none."  -Thomas Jefferson, 1801.
 

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -Benito Mussolini, 1935, "The Doctrine of Fascism."

 
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes." -Dwight Eisenhower, 1961.


"The danger [of Citizens United] is that it will further cement the corrupting dependency on private funding of public campaigns that already infects our Congress. The problem in our democracy is not diversity; the problem is a Congress dependent upon the fundraisers. The problem is not corporate speech. The problem is the fundraising Congress." -Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig, 2010.

National General Assembly

The Steps to Non-Violent Revolution and the Convening of a National General Assembly

A NON-VIOLENT PLAN OF ACTION


1. Elect one man and one woman from each of the 435 congressional districts in March 2012.


2. Bring all 870 delegates to a national general assembly the week of july 4, 2012 in Philadelphia.


3. allow the 870 delegates to debate, write and ratify a petition for a redress of grievances for five days.


4. serve this ratified petition on all three branches of government and all candidates running for political office in 2012.


5.  wait for a reasonable period of time for the 213th Congress and president and supreme court to act upon and redress the grievances.


6. if the grievances are not redressed within that reasonable period of time, reconvene the national general assembly to organize a new third party to run for every open congressional seat in all of the 435 districts in 2014.


 

If the system will not change, the 99% will change the system

Paul St. John:
Personally, I think that the system will change, and I think that it will be in my lifetime.  I certainly hope so. I do not thinjk, however, that it will be due to the actions of thoise who refer to themselves as the 99%.  they lack direction, and sensibility.  Just to start, the location of the protest.  It should have been Washington. To me, in my mind, this is so clearly obvious, ande it just taints i9n my view, right off the bat, the credibility of this group, most of who in my opinion, at this point, are just looking for justification, to escape from life for awhile.  I also do not like the term "occupation". -LMAO!  I hope someone else picked up on that.  "Occupation" implies force, and militant action, and the truth is, that 99 percent of the punks, could never back such things up.  Additionally, does anyone else realise that while there a handful of people who live in the 99 percent, most of whom have earned it,  99 % of the 99% will no longer be in the 99 % in ten years.  It is ever fluctuating.  And if someone does succeed in getting the 99 percent, do they suddenly become evil?


For it to really happen, will require first vision, and understanding, then persistence, and perseverence.. And will require the types of individuals, of which there are very few of on the earth- individuals who would probably never associate themselves, with these 99 percfent quacks. Anyone who thinks that a bunch of nearly meaningless protests is going to put an end to a machine that has been going for so long, is crazy.  

Are there some real, real bad guys in politiocs?  Absolutly!  But do you think that they give a fuck about protests?  LOL!  hell NO!  They do not care if it is in the constitution or anything else.  The laws of the land serve one purpose and one purpose only to them. They use them to carry out their will.. that is it.  Corruption in the government goes so deep it is almost unfathomable.  Some of it is very, very intentional.  Some of it is well-meaning, but still leads to overall loss- great overall loss.  These are my thoughts anyway.

But again, I do think that there will be a change in my lifetime. Unfortunatly, I do not know that everybody will be ready for it.

No doubt, the elites who own all of the land, all of the stocks, all of the bonds, all of the debt, all of the infrastructure, all of the politicians, all of the judges and all of the media will move into cabins in in the woods once the discontent of the downtrodden is made apparent.
