USA - 239 Years Old - The Democratic Experiment is on the Brink! New Revolution Necessary...

Not So Happy 4th of July 2015 - Keeping it Real Folks!

These words from the Declaration of Independence ring true today! A new revolution (peaceful but aggressive as in civil disobedience) is necessary today to overthrow the multinational corporations that are taking over our country and the planet and destroying it/us with their insane blind greed!

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world."

Contemporary 21st Century Facts for a new Revolution...

1) The Insane Continuation of MultiNational Corporations forcing the use of dirty Co2 emitting Fossil fuels as the main source of world energy in spite of the facts that it is leading catastrophic ice cap melting/sea level rising - extreme weather patterns and tons of toxic petrol products that cause a myriad of cancers and other ailments. This is also in spite of the clean affordable alternatives available for decades.

2) The Non-Taxation of the Rich via tax breaks and an historically irresponsibly low Capital gains tax of 15% (27% during Reagen Admin)- in spite of 2 unpaid wars for oil (see previous grievance), 16 trillion dollar national debt (majority from longest wars in history) and neglect of the crumbling, necessary infrastructure of America where the corporations/1% all made their fortunes.

3) The Continued internal and external blocking and resistance by the rich 1% - of fixing our Democracy to a more Representative 99% model - from its current plutocracy status-quo where the super expensive $ election cycles are paid for by the rich 1% to insure their corporate profit based agendas regardless of the costs to all humanity - via puppet politicians with no integrity vying for high paying lobbying jobs post congress exit - in the revolving door aka DC politics as usual - for far too long!

4) The Perpetual War Machine (1984) via the Military Industrial Complex Corporations that profits in the many $billions, which WWII leader of the Allied Command, 5 star General, President Eisenhower warned the citizens of America about upon his exit in 1961. Historically every great empire has gone down the tubes because of the exact same over reach in world conquests and greed - and why anyone thinks we will be any different is the definition of insanity - repeating the same foolishness and expecting a different outcome.

5) The The continued blocking by the rich 1% of our society toward a more Socialist model such as all the rest of industrialized countries in the world enjoy and prosper from in the form of higher measured life satisfaction studies - for decades!

These are the first 5 that are the most important and by fixing them - will create millions of much needed jobs and free up resources for many other issues that need to be dealt with sooner than later - or else the American experiment in Democracy will disintegrate into chaos - and it will not be pretty - USA has a very violent history. Do your homework and see for yourself.

Speak out - let your voices be heard - get involved and organize before it is too late! Democracy is like a muscle - if you do not use it - you lose it!
