You can't just steal tens of trillions of dollars overnight. Even for the most sophisticated class of high-finance criminals in history, it takes quite some time to empty the world's treasury--and even if they are being aided and abated by bought-off politicians in the U.S. and Europe.
As we are bombarded every day with bad news about the economy--the highest poverty rate in the 52 years the Census has been tracking it; about soaring unemployment; about the link between poverty and reduced lifespan-- the looting, the feeding frenzy continues apace.
Folks, this is not complicated. There is a group of people that are very easily identifiable, who are right now plundering the coffers in the United States, and Spain, and Greece, and Italy, and Portugal, and the entire world financial system, and plunging the populations in these countries into economic serfdom, spreading poverty and hunger.
These people are truly evil. I think it's hard for the average normal person to understand how greedy and evil these people are. And not only that, but how total control they have over the greedy sycophants that makes for much of our political class.
And as days and weeks and months go by, poverty continue to spread rapidly, rendering tens of millions of people psychologically incapable to understand exactly what's happening, and most importantly, where to lay the blame.
I observe in despair how the humanitarians, and the activists, and progressives, scramble to try to make sense of the situation, and to try to come up with ways of alleviating the pain and suffering.
But it's a sad spectacle because they don't fully grasp the essence of the type of evil they are dealing with. We are talking about the most despotic tyrants the world has ever seen (but disguised as bankers and politicians).
And as calamity spreads, the Left will continue apace with their obsession of cataloging and reporting on the latest dastardly act by the increasingly oppressive ruling class. Pointing out how the children are suffering as poverty spreads; how economic calamity leads to stress, increase in domestic violence and early death; how the remaining sliver of "democracy" continues to be dismantled through the implementation of voter suppression strategies.
And some will hand-write some signs and put on their jeans and their red or blue baseball caps, and some union members start to mount "real resistance" against exploitation.
But it's all too disorganized, too spread-out, and lacking the type of focus, understanding, and discipline necessary to take on this evil, tyrannical and oppressive machine taking over our economies in order to enslave us.
Yes, call this "revolution agitprop," if you must, but the truth of the matter is that we are beyond normal times. You have to understand that the political system is utterly broken and corrupted. The political class is completely in the pockets of the oppressors (the corporatists, and Wall Street, and the banksters, and the bought-off enabling politicians).
Nothing short of a massive awakening, and massive, coordinated, relentless, and forceful action against this evil machine will make a difference. Coordinated national labor strikes across multiple "sensitive" industries (like transportation, aviation); massive occupation-style protest, and civil disobedience campaigns. The machine has turned against you; it's predatory; and it will end up destroying you, and your family, and your friends, and your communities. This "odious machine" needs to be stopped, and re-set.
The typical so-called Liberal Progressive reads these words, and by now doesn't dismiss them out of hand, as it would the be typical reaction in the recent past, but she or he still hangs on to the idea that things are not that bad--that we can still keep doing what we've been doing, and that eventually things will turn around. That we are just going through an especially bad business cycle... Ad of course he would. The typical reader of these words tends to be a member of a certain socioeconomic demographic for which calamity hasn't yet arrived, and because our collective character has been damaged, diminishing collective sense of empathy (which is the main factor that distinguishes the sociopath from the normal human being), by the amount of propaganda our brains are subjected to every hour of the day, they see these calls for a national (or international) uprising as extreme.
But just wait a little longer my dear reader... Economic calamity is coming your way; it's just a matter of time. And the reason is because the rabid hyaenas in the form of the international financial ruling class, will continue to loot the country's coffers at a faster and faster rate--unmolested by the bought-off politicians.
All unions, and all progressive organizations should unite under one banner and coordinate a massive resistance movement now; it needs to have teeth; it needs to be forceful. All major media companies' headquarters should be picketed 24/7, and the message should be simple: We know what you're doing. We know you are being used as a propaganda machine by the ruling elite.
The sad thing is that what will happen is that disparate factions will rise up, for different reasons, and those who cross the line just a little bit, will be promptly suppressed through the use of the fascistic tools put in place during the last decade, including curtailment of constitutional rights, and the alarming increase of for-profit detention centers.
Stand by at your own peril.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning.
They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what a people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. Men may not get all they pay for in this world; but they must pay for all they get. If we ever get free from all the oppressions and wrongs heaped upon us, we must pay for their removal. We must do this by labor, by suffering, by sacrifice, and, if needs be, by our lives, and the lives of others.
