This is a big game, played by big people. They are little people who broke the rules, they must be stopped for the good of the whole.
Think of a bundle of twigs. Each twig may, individually, be broken easily. But bound together they form a stout rod that is far stronger. This fasces should be our symbol, our goal.
These twigs chose to leave the fasces, and they were broken. Poor little twiggies. They will learn.
Thanks Rahm.

The Matrix control all media.. every job.. every school.. every penny in every bank. They control all opinion..all "patriotic" views, everything you are allowed to see or feel.
The Matrix is Republican.. Evangelical.. Teabag....Paul Ryan...Rush Luimbaugh.. Fox.. MTP, David Gregory, David Brooks, David Will, Tom Friedman...
The Council on Foreign Relations ... they all wear dark sunglasses... black ties... even Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama... ALL OF THEM.

(979 posts)we still lack the fascination with the great man
but the state is surely fastened to industry and finance
two essential engines of progress and war
efficiency can only improve as we come closer to a unified system
then the world

(37,573 posts)"Just picture the scene, some six thousand striking members of two unions holding an outdoor mass meeting, and within sight of them, scabs leaving a plant. I saw what happened. The McCormick strikers began to move toward the plant. No one urged them; no one harangued them; they stopped listening and moved away toward the gates. Maybe they picked up some rocks; maybe they said things not nice to hear - but before they did anything, the plant police started to fire. My god, it was like a war! The strikers were unarmed, and the police stood like men on a range, pistols at arms length, rifles too, potting, potting away.
They say the plant called for reinforcements - that would take a little time, wouldn't it? But, within minutes, a patrol wagon filled with police dashed up, and behind them, on the double, came a detail of 200 armed men.
Well, it was a kind of sight one would see in the old country, not here. The workers dropped like men on a battlefield. When they tried to stand fast, the police rushed them and clubbed them apart; when they broke up and ran, the police followed them from the rear. It wasn't nice to see; it wasn't kind; it was a brute thing that made you want to go away and vomit."
