Will there be a Revolution Movement once folks
realize they've been manilipulated by this administration? Actually, I sense there is some larger power behind *bush and company....The administration is only the visual and implimentation segment of this unknown power.......

The media behavior has been the biggest clue coupled by the neo-con thugs of the right wing.

Will it be too late when the majority discover they have been captured?

1. That might occur
when there's no effective middle-class left. In other words, about 3 years from now if bushco is reelected.

2. I feel it in the air.....
Like on a spring evening.....just before a tornado strikes......

Every time I hear a mis -informed republican say they support *bush because he can keep them safe...it only validates my concerns.

3. No. There will be a "revolutionary moment" ...
When folks move past their denial of the fact that they are being manipulated.

Deep down, they already know. However, recognizing it means coming to grips with the fact that the U.S. is as vulnerable to corruption and political chicanery as the rest of the world.

To admit that we aren't what we think we are: God's favorite.

4. It will happen
if *boosh steals again. I think that a lot of folks feel used already and another tainted election may be the spark that ignites a powderkeg....

5. Next on the Takeover Agenda:"'Good Cop' replaces 'Bad Cop'"
The interests behind the Busholini Cabal care nothing for labels or ephemeral ideologies. They care about wealth and power. The acceleration of their hoarding of wealth and power has never been greater than in the last four years. There's a lot of "undoing" that lies ahead. I doubt the public has anything near the resolve to even begin the process of undoing the damage of the last 25 years. We have our "bread and circuses."

I can only hope that the people of this nation will wake up and smell the manure. When the number awakened hits some critical mass and find themselves locked out of the political processes of substantive change, there will be widespread violence and civil unrest. This may not happen for another 25 years. At that point, nearly no person alive will remember 'democracy.'

8. I think it will be sooner than 25 years......
maybe 10......it may begin. Just watching this administration and the media in action is frightening.

9. Don't forget the John Titor predictions:
"America will soon be engaged in civil war with itself; a civil war that we'll see the beginnings of during 2004 and 2005, escalating until it is indisputable by 2008 ("a general date by which time everyone will realize the world they thought they were living in was over") and "will consume everyone in the US by 2012"

He was saying this in spring 2001.

14. Bizarrely enough, I'd call that a "best case" scenario.
Edited on Sat Sep-11-04 09:26 PM by TahitiNut
I'm virtually certain we're not going to change direction in favor of equity, justice, and a fair distribution of the wealth created by labor without civil unrest that's the equivalent of war. I don't see fewer fatalities than about 200,000 in a single year.

7. Don't you remember....
those ostentatious commercials for the Saudi "Kingdom Holding Company" which has been buying into many major corporations and parents of media companies? This must be the new Kingdom Bush has envisioned for the world.
