I Believe In The American Revolution
A couple of threads floating around here have made people feel that America is due for some sort of revolution. And I think most Americans who have actually been keeping up with the times, would agree. The reasons for a revolution goes on (this thread is not to debate about those reasons). The question is, what kind of revolution and how?
Some people feel they need guns for this American Revolution. I couldn't disagree anymore. Who are you going to kill with those guns? Government officials? CEO's of evil corporations? You'll be killing cops and other beloved family members serving in the army, who are serving the army because they want to protect their country - who have no affiliation what so ever with the real evil men behind closed doors.
Thankfully, history has proven we don't need a violent revolution to change this country. We only have to turn the clocks a few decades to see the power of the non-violent revolution. From MLK to hippies, we've learned a lot about peaceful demonstrations (and that the government doesn't always react peacefully)
Anxious and hungry? You don't have to wait for people to line up in the streets. There is a new kind of revolution taking place and it's a revolution you can be a part of every day of your life, right now. A revolution that is culmination of every little choice you make. We have all heard frightening stories about how this or that corporation is controlling us, controlling our money, controlling our government, and so on. But even if our money is entirely imaginary and created by some crazy ass weird institution called the Federal Reserve, even the Federal Reserve erroneously believes that their imaginary money is real. The point I am making is, your money still has power.
The power of your money is in how you use the money. This requires extensive research, be as wise as serpents. Understand the relationship between buying cheaply made goods and wages BELOW the living wave, they are inseparable. You're not a very good revolutionary if you continue to support min. wages that do not support a livable income. Understand the relationship between health and money, health and the environment, FDA and corporations like Monsanto. Understand that America is still using illegal immigrants as a modern day slave labor.
We are hypocrites demanding for a revolution if we also turn our backs on the poor and desperate who are working jobs in completely unsafe ways, RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA, that no citizen would ever agree to. We SUPPORT this modern day illegal slave labor when we support cheaply made goods. You don't want illegal immigrants here? That's fine. Don't support fast food chains, don't support the meat industry, don't support new construction where all the houses and apartments look like clones of each other. And apparently even some of our beloved Florida oranges are picked and plucked by illegal immigrants who are kept in debt, so they can not leave. (Modern slavery)
No revolution is ever going to happen if we willfully remain ignorant on how OUR CHOICES have created this mess. The blame doesn't go to the evil men behind closed doors, when money is power, they have no power if no one will buy their products. And if you feel the American currency as it is will always benefit these evil men because it is completely controlled by them, well there are alternative ways of living that negate the need of money. And there is alternative to money!
You're not the only one who wants to live free of the dependency of money. Great things are happening when people with radical and crazy ideas get together and network. This forum can serve as a network to help us dreamers, live our dreams!
This new revolution has nothing to do with guns or violence. These 'evil men' 'controlling' us control us through out right lies and manipulation, not force. We are the ones who were apathetic and allowed these lies to take place. We still have the power to uncover these lies. And the RESPONSIBILITY of spreading the truth, not that's not the medias job, that's OUR JOB.
It's our job to inform each other on these various truths we discover. We need to stop complaining about the media and assuming it's their job to bring about this revolution. We already have the tools to spread information very fast without the media. We're a text addicted nation :cheeky:
This new revolution is a beautiful one. It's completely holistic and in one tiny package, it solves all of our problems. By going local, we go green we help to solve our environmental problem. By going local we keep the money within the local community, helping to defeat poverty and taking power away from big corporations who don't give a shit about you. By going local, we eat healthier. Big Pharma is full of lies and greed. Diet is the best defense against all major diseases plaguing Americans. Big Pharma, FDA, what ever, we don't really need them. And they have proven to not have your best interests at heart. And by going local and green we also strike our illegal immigration problem by striking shitty, unsafe, underpaid jobs at their heart.
No illegals DID NOT steal our jobs......WE ALLOWED THE CREATION of SHITTY JOBS to take advantage of the hungry and desperate. It just so happens that many Mexicans were hungry and desperate.
We need to realize that a system is going to collapse. America doesn't actually have money in the sense the average citizen believe it does. We don't. It's all debt and debt to be paid, debt issued out with more interest, creating more and more debt for the next generation. It's a task no president can fix because the problem isn't the presidency, it's at the core, and our presidents don't have a whole lot of power to do much anyways except make noise.
But while our money in a very strange and crazy way doesn't actually exist - our goods and services do, and they have real value. And they are a lot more valuable than the artificial prices we give them. If we based our money on REAL VALUE, American is bountiful.
Thankfully there is a way to create an alternative form of currency, a local based currency based on these real values that is entirely DEBT FREE. I'm not an expert on this, but from what I understand it is LEGAL for the local communities to create these local based debt free, real value based currencies. From what I understand some communities fed up with the FED, have printed their own currencies already!
Why aren't more communities creating this debt free money? I didn't even know that this was possible until about a week ago! We need to help each other get to spread the information. We already have the power to free ourselves from the Fed, from debt, from misery. We don't need guns, we don't need a violent war.
Feel free to use this thread to post information that you think is important to empowering people to be a part of this New American Revolution. Which really isn't just limited to an American Revolution, but a Global Revolution for the entire westernized world. However, it's come to my attention that the world is watching America. We're like a soap opera foreigners gossip about. "Hey what are those nutty Americans doing lately?" "They're growing produce in their back yards!" "What? The same Americans that voted for Bush are growing produce in their back yards?" :cheeky: Were dividing by zero!
This revolution is based on the day to day choices we make. What will you choose to do today?
