Reply #10: The Unions are next

[annm4peace]

I'm from Central CA.

I saw what is happening to MN play out in Central CA about 30 years ago. Since I was young when it started I didn't fully understand what the end game was. and it happens over time.
this trial is part of the beginning

(there will be excessively high unemployment, gangs, police take over of parks and recreation, city budgets going mostly for law enforcement, and people not fighting back but giving in, apathetic, there are no leaders for the people)

First Corporate takes over your biggest newspapers (done, 10years ago)
and radio stations (they didn't know Janet Roberts and 950AM would be around)

Then they rally and enlarge the "evangelical (corporate) big box churches that support greed and military power. (check also about 10 years ago started) Think Gov Pawlenty and the church in Eden Prairie, and Michelle Bachman and Mac Hammond's church. (done)

They try to split the peace/social activists from the Unions. Try to get the Unions to go against the peace community. (we saw what Unionized law enforcement did to social/peace activists).


They go after the young activists because they are the organizers who will try to stop the corporations greed and take over of resources whether it is workers, water, minerals in the land, farming, etc.

Then they will go after the Unions. You already hear in the speech of Pawlenty, Bachman and Kline.


Union members need to stand strong with these Activists because you are going to be next.

This resolutions was partly written by one of the Unions in Duluth who understands Solidarity.
