If you haven’t already I want you to picture in you head what ‘Class War’ would look like.
Would there be riots and confrontations with the Police State in your mental image?
Or would it be a day like today, where the stock market dropped a hundred points due to ‘fear’ of bad news?
Seriously good citizen, the class war is blazing all around you and it has been for the past ten years but thanks to our closely muzzled media, most of you remain ignorant.
The biggest ‘giveaway’ is the 30,000 strong Tea Party (funded by billionaires! Real ‘grassroots’ organization, isn’t it? And popular too, the fucking media can’t stop fretting over them…which should tell you something all by itself.)
Then, like the last administration’s penchant for torture we have this bullshit, which has been building for quite some time.
Those who suggest that the Supreme Court’s decision in King v. Kentucky is ‘no big deal’ or that it’s ‘alarmist’ to think otherwise, must not understand the extent to which the boundaries are pushed when the Court makes exceptions to our rights. Nor do they comprehend that once lost, civil liberties are impossible to reclaim. With SWAT teams already injuring and at times killing the wrong people to serve warrants, just imagine the abuse to come given the increased power the Court has bestowed upon the state.
Considering the level of brutality we have been dishing out around the world, from the “war on drugs” to the “war on terror,” the erosion of our civil liberties is sadly inevitable. Did we really think that we could wage war and occupy other nations with checkpoints, invasive surveillance, and brutal violence without these same policing tactics spreading to our country?
Like many things that have happened over the past thirty years, the ever expanding Police State started out as concern for the ‘safety’ of the officers…and as the (civilian) death toll mounted, the ‘blue wall’ got more funding and less accountable.
Sadly good citizen we have already seen ‘the next step’.
It happens every day in Afghanistan and Iraq and soon it will be happening in El Paso and Tuczon. In the interests of ‘officer safety’ police will soon start lobbing missiles into ‘suspect neighborhoods’, Hell, the Isrealis do it all the time!
Should you object (or worse become the victim of such an attack) you will be shit out of luck! Because their goofball ‘supreme court’ has deemed their actions ‘perfectly legal’.
Which is to ask how rapt you will be watching THEIR trial for treason? (I’ll bet you’ll be glued to the set!)
When the justice system starts to unravel ‘justice’ takes some pretty bizarre bounces.
Understand that the idiots responsible for this latest twist towards ‘do as I say not as I do’ don’t intend to ‘lose control’…so when the backlash comes they will be taken pretty much by surprise.
And they will know full well that ‘sorry’ isn’t going to cut it.
Also under the header class war, we have this article that until only recently was being billed as the salvation of all who made the effort.
Young people between the ages of 16 and 24 face an unemployment rate nearly twice that of the rest of the population, according to data from the Economic Policy Institute. 2010's 18.4 percent rate for youth was the worst in the 60 years that economists have collected such data. ColorLines notes that in 2010, 8.4 percent of white college graduates were unemployed, 13.8 percent of Latino graduates, and a dismal 19 percent of black graduates.
Those bright, shiny new degrees simply aren't worth the paper they're printed on all too often. The cost of a college degree is up some 3,400 percent since 1972, but as we all know too well, household incomes haven't increased by anything close to that number -- not for the bottom
Worse, most are at a loss when it comes to deciding what to study. Why spend a fortune for a low paying service industry job? (And you WILL spend a fortune because like most loans, it’s not the principle but the interest that drains you dry!)
Just how ‘fucked up’ is our badly broken economy?
I think most of you know the answer.
And if you don’t this excellent article from Jesse’s crossroads café provides a good primer:
When this natural progression of change can no longer be resisted, things might start moving more quickly, perhaps remarkably so.
But until then bear in mind that these big changes happen slowly and for the most part quietly. With sudden bursts of change and release of energy, often over a period of years, until the pressure breaks into the public arena, and then voila, a full-blown crisis appears as if out of nowhere. And most swear that it could not have been foreseen or predicted.
I am telling you, again, that it is happening now. With this continuing resistance to change and reform it may very well break upon the world financial system in the next few years with what could be a terrific. An astonishing effect that will sweep away whole institutions and many long held beliefs and assumptions, old lessons that have been unlearned, and must be accounted for again.
While I have not asked him I’m reasonably sure Jesse doesn’t like being the bearer of sad tidings any more than I do.
We (the paycheck peasants of the modern world) are under attack, good citizen.
While they’d like us to march willingly into the gas chambers, most of us will resist once we know what’s going on.
Are they gassing people? I dunno but they sure as hell are sterilizing the next generation wholesale and there isn’t anything being done about it! (Because fertility clinics are cleaning house!)
Do you doubt there is a class war raging all around you?
All they need to win is for you to do nothing…
Wake up…and then spark it up!
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
