Having pretty much given up on mankind lately, from the war drums sounding louder and louder, to the economic situtaion spiraling out of control, to the Tea Party screwing us blue with their idiocy. Not a whole lot to be hopeful about. Until today.
Something happened today that few will ever witness: a worldview paradigm shift of the public collective. In layman's terms it means a lot of people have suddenly realized that all is not what it seems and things are not going to get any better by sitting by and doing nothing. The Wall Street protests have been humstrung every which way the elites could manage. They had a complete media blackout for days. When it was reported it was laughed about. They even managed to stop communication on Yahoo emails. Let that one sink in for a minute and whta big Corporations are capable of. Everyone thought the protestors would get tired of not sleeping in their beds, miss their video games and leave. Only it didn't happen. So what did the elites do? The worst decision in the history of bad ideas. They sent their stormtroopers to rough up the public. Only now we have cameras and cell phones and an internet and the brutality seen, not on MSM but posted video, reminded everyone of Egypt and how we are facing the same type of tyranny.
So instead of saying mea culpa and backing down the NYPD instead upped the ante by arresting over eighty people last weekend for no reason. Videos posted showed police brutality like teenage girls maced for no reason, sucker punched civilians and basically behaved like the drunken frat boys I usually call them. This was a VERY bad idea.
Because now its world news. And people are waking up the idea that we live in tyrrany no better than Egypt. And now people are starting to show up. Eight major unions have pledged their support for the Wall St protests. That's ONE MILLION PEOPLE who may join in the protest. If even ten perecnt show up, that's a hundred thousand people. I have a feeling it will be more than that. For the first time since the Vietnam War was ended by similiar protests we can make real change here. The same is happening all over the world, in Greece and London and Israel. It's even spreading across the country with protests coming soon to Boston and I have heard rumors of San Diego and Chicago (which fizzled earlier with only twenty people showing) starting their own as well.
This is our time people. If you want change, real change, join the protests or start one near you. Only through our voices can we be heard. It won't be by politicians or in the courts. It will be in the streets when we demand change or else. If we stay strong and not go violent (although the cops are asking for it if they keep these tactics up), we will prevail.
Now is our time to Stand.
