41. Can't happen...

Jun 2012

He would be shot dead inside of a month...there is no way the corporatacracy is going to down bloodlessly. People who try to change it - REALLY try to change it from the inside - will be the first casualties.

They will be victims of lone gunmen and crazed loners....
They will have unfortunate car "accidents" (or plane crashes in small aircraft)....
They will come down with mysterious heart ailments....had it since birth, unavoidable end, so sorry, very sad...
They will contract incurable illnesses or tragic "natural disasters" will fell them...

Its happened before....Kennedy, King, Kennedy, Little/X, and thousands of others.
It will happen again.

I just pray that Van Jones is not ever added to that sad list or fated to become another statistic. Same goes for Krugman, Warren, Grayson, Kaptur and anyone else in the public eye or public life who is actually concerned with other people's lives and rights instead of their own next election.
