Three Days to Revolution
http://smirkingchimp.com/thread/daveparts/30631/three-days-to-revolution

Rage is born of desperation; it is incubated and nurtured by ignorance and neglect. It’s fathered by the unfeeling and uncaring, the safe and secure. Its mother is the destitute and hungry, the needy, those too easily cast off from society as mere statistics. It is a genie that once released from its bottle will summon up all the forces of hell to seek vengeance upon guilty and innocent alike.

"If a modern state is to rest upon a firm foundation its citizens must not be allowed to starve. Some of them do. They do not die quickly. You can starve for a long time without dying." Leader of Children's Bureau of Philadelphia, 1931

The latest, greatest, phony, faked, fraudulent unemployment numbers were released on Friday. These official lies claim 479,000 new Americans must begin their own personal descent through Dante’s Inferno to the level of hell called unemployment in America. Then, after 99 weeks, to disappear, to no longer be a concern of our government, to cease to be a social problem but to become a legal one instead.

The National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys has reported to the Los Angeles Times numerous cases of clients showing up at their offices saying, 'If you don't help me, I've got a gun in my car,'" or threatening to take poison. Murder-suicide rates are soaring all over the country and the media take little note of it. During the 1930s most newspapers were owned by safe, sedate, comfortable Republican families who weren’t about to give press ink to troublemakers, anarchists, Liberals or Communists with their pissy little hunger and homelessness problems. In their view they were just trying to make Mr. Hoover look bad.

1. The media in this country is so damn worthless and controlled I hardly watch
Edited on Tue Aug-10-10 10:53 AM by RKP5637
anything anymore. This countries MSM is becoming quite akin to Russia during the cold war or any other country wherein the media is controlled. We're getting the same under the banner of freedom... so many Americans are such damn fools and fall for it hook line and sinker failing to realize it is controlled by about five mega-conglomerates.

Damn, I wish Americans would wake the F up. How much more will it take to awaken the ignorant consciousness of this country. Of course, then when awoken, the masses will no doubt go off the deep end without their brains engaged.

2. Ah yes, The Corporate Pravda press. I've been calling them that for so long
that my friends are now using it back to me. You can't believe a word they say.

3. When the starving peasants come to the gate "Little Father, give us bread"
Then the revolution will start.

4. All this anguish can be cured if we just took out troops home
from all over the world. Maybe I'm naive but all those billions of our dollars should be helping our citizens cope and enjoy this one life we have.

I'm so disgusted with it all I could scream at the government and then have a goods cry for those worse off than I am.

What right do we have to rule the world with out ideology and out troops. What right do the politico's in Washington have to ignore us?

Mad is a mild word for what so many of us feel. Mad and frustrated. No matter what good can be done, there is always a big brouhaha and then---nothing.
