What does all this mean? I simply can’t piece together an answer that doesn’t give rise to more questions.

I don’t know what to believe, other than to say…I’m not convinced of anything I’m being told and am growing ever more suspicious of what I am not being told, what is being hidden and Left handed Monkey Wrench that the Plumbers are using on the truth.

Massive voter registration fraud, massive campaign financing…with serious and dangerous circumvention of safeguards?

Repeated, consistent and haunting connections with some of the most virulent haters of America, it’s salt of the earth small town folks and “flyover country” residents, a frontal assault on the Constitution, a “spread thw wealth” economic distribution plan, an open suggestion that a “fairness doctrine” be imposed to shut down talk radio, an outline to drastically curtail the military budget and reduce our ability to defend militarily against foreign enemies, replacing that role instead with a “private army not constrained by oversight of the military…instead reporting directly to the civilian Commander.

Drown out opposing or dissenting voices? Kick them off the plane and shut them down on the airwaves? Take the property of the dissenters and give it to the loyal party workers? Indoctrinate schoolchildre and have them chant slogans? Paramilitary exercises and “calls to action”, orders to “get in their faces” and browbeat your own parents and grandparents?

The media suddenly and almost completely consumed by a lack of curiousity, ceases to defend “the little guy”…but instead attacks them with a ferocity heretofore reserved for national politicians. They goosestep their way to salute the private seal, the absence of the flag, the Che Guevara poster.

Let me summarize:

1)Strip the military of funding and reduce its manpower and ability to defend

2)Strip the access of dissenters by kicking them off the plane, refusing access via the airwaves if they ask tough questions, institute a “fairness doctrine” to eliminate their voice on radio.

3)Strip the capital and property and begin to redistribute those funds and property

4)Attack the constitution, insert judges not elected by the people as operatives in redrafting it to suit the policies and procedures which the people never voted to approve.

5)Build a civilian army of loyal party members, in a new revolutionary guard against enemies…whomever they may be.

6)Take away the 2nd amendment rights of the people, by force, if necessary…because they “cling to guns and religion”. Not sure if religion is going to be allowed to “cling” to at this point.

7)Replace traditional symbols with new ones…the flag is the “wrong” kind of patriotism…personal seals, wall sized portraits, a personal flag.

8)Nationalized healthcare, nationalized banking and finance, nationalized insurance, nationalized 401k’s, nationalized homeownership, nationalized energy, nationalized education, nationalized agriculture and food production.

9)Elections rife with voter registration fraud and political operatives blocking investigation into the massive, overt and clear attempts to rig an election for one candidate with ties to the offending organizations.

10) Massive evidence of campaign finance irregularities, foreign influence and laundered money, in order to buy more votes.

11) Louder and more vicious attacks on Jewish people popping up as a “gutter religion”, the “cause of massive suffering”, the “reason there is no peace”. A team is assembled to “reduce the Zionist influence”.

If I was going to start a revolution…I certainly couldn’t pick a better groundwork or foundation than this. I would only ask that you call me an agrarian reformer….although I suppose “community organizer” would work just as well.

I would do the organizing…it’s up to you to do the communing. I would ask you to simply quietly come along, join the “grassroots” movement for “change” and “hope” for our future…built in five year planning increments. Then a Grass Curtain would descend upon you, keeping you safe from those who dissent.

I mean…if I intended to launch a revolution. Which I don’t. I’m a centrist. How about you?
