We are now at the year nineteen hundred and eight, which was the year that the Carnegie Foundation began operations. And, in that year, the trustees meeting, for the first time, raised a specific question, which they discussed throughout the balance of the year, in a very learned fashion. And the question is this: Is there any means known more effective than war, assuming you wish to alter the life of an entire people? And they conclude that, no more effective means to that end is known to humanity, than war. So then, in 1909, they raise the second question, and discuss it, namely, how do we involve the United States in a war?

That is very true. Very wise statement.
It may be infinitely more difficult for a revolution in the United States to have any affect because it is right here at home. Still, we had a Civil War here at home and we survived that. People thought we wouldn't survive the American Revolution, we went against the strongest power in the world. Then people thought the United States would split in half during the Civil War era. We prospered thereafter and became a superpower after WWI.
Still, we are at a major disadvantage today because of technology. They can track us down with GPS, and they can hunt us with technology we don't even know about. We are very limited when it comes to weapons to fight back with since it has basically become illegal to own anything above a .45.
At least we have guns. Our brothers in the UK don't have guns. The military has all of the guns. How are they supposed to fight back? This does not look good at all...

Recently I have awoke from a blinding slumber to a world completely manipulated by a group of elites. Now, everything makes sense. Everything, that is, but one thing.
How do we take back our world?
To you fellow residents of the United States, how do we take back our country?
I have a feeling it starts with taking back the United States, and the rest will follow suit. Seeing as how many revolutions around the world began because of the American Revolution's success, I am fairly confident that it will happen again. Once people wake up as I have, things will be that much easier. Still, I don't have a clue how to take back control, assuming we ever had control in the first place.
I wont be a leader in this revolution, obviously, but I wont blindly follow anyone to my death either. I must know, how do YOU suppose we go about bringing real change?

I have decided to become a Firefighter instead of a Police officer.
For the very few that know me here, this will come as a shock to you. It was a dream of mine for nearly a decade to be a Police Officer, and recently I wanted to prove people wrong by showing them that not all cops are bad.
Now, however, after having a bit of forsight and seeing what is going to happen in the future, I don't want to be used as a tool against the people that I love.
And I pick Firefighter because I want to save lives and help people for a living, something that up until a couple days ago I thought I could do as a Police Officer.
