I see tons of threads that talk about how we should all band together to "stick it to the man". How is that ever going to help? What are you going to do? Who's this man that we should stick it to?

Like minded people out there, post ideas that would actually help build the foundation that a SUCESSFUL revolution REQUIRES before it can engage the existing establishment. Here are some ideas that may help you get the jist of what REALLY needs to happen for such a change to take place:
1. Halt your trust in the mainstream media machine. I am sure many of you have noticed that the "news" is almost always of the depressing/fearful sort. Why? Fear sells. Are you afraid of being fat? Are you afraid of being ugly? Are you afraid of being robbed? No problem, just buy our product. But remember, results are not typical.(LMFAO)
2. Exercise. This is important, and easy. Make your body stonger. Improve your immune system. This will starve Big Pharma of your dollars as you begin to require less and less need for their harmful medications.
3. Tell your children stories of how oppressed people have risen against great odds to overcome their oppressors. These should be the last things they think about at night, not Dr. Seuss...
4. End your fasination with the American political machine. Don't vote. Do you really think that your vote means as much as a billionaires? Who do you think the world blames for the injustices commited by this once great Nation? The PEOPLE! Not the ones commiting the crimes. After all, we did vote for them didn't we?
Please, add your own ideas and tear mine to bits if you think that they are wrong. This is how great ideas are made. Take apart many diverse idealogies, and from them construct something that will serve you better than the sum of the parts.
Above all, stop your faith in the words of others. Do your own research. Form your own, unique ideas. That is what the "man" is trully terrified of.

We are currently engaged in a low intensity conflict in the United States and across the world. The power elite are on the run or are working hard to back-peddle out of their current situation. Awareness of the nefarious deeds of the global elites is becoming widespread to the point of revolution across the planet at this time.
Americans are the most prepared of any other nation for this type of conflict. We are in the early stages. The enemies of the republic are being outed currently. The sales of firearms and ammunition is at the highest levels in these last few years then ever in our history as far as total per capita is concerned. When I visit the range it is full of people with military style AK and AR variants. They often are also training their kids.
The intensity of the present conflict will turn hot I think if triggered by a number of factors. The first is if the government would turn off the internet. This would likely be a trigger event. Any move to sign an international agreement to restrict small arms would also be a likely trigger as well. America was forged in revolution against an aristocracy. The republic will likely do so again soon. There is little doubt this will end in a great deal of bloodshed. I wish it were not so but if that was enough then we would not have to worry about it.
The de-industrialization of the United States is entering its final stages. In the next few years it will become so bad here and so many jobs will be lost that the idle young will take up arms and they will likely get their direction from the generations of patriotic warriors that have fought this nation's wars that will be instructing and equipping them for this phase of the revolution.
I am a student of history. This nation is the most aggressive and well armed of any in the world. We have more guns in private hands then most other nations standing armies. You can also bet that we will exhaust all other means before this present conflict really goes hot. Until the last peaceful means for affecting the restoration of the republic has been tried things will stay rather peaceful as well as a bit smoldering and tense.

You can't change a thing concerning our freedom without suffering or dying for it. The injustice of our justice system screams for an uprising, yet tomorrow will be another day and anyone who walks in attempting to dismantle the police state will be killed and spinned on the news. Go ahead, go tear down the DHS televisions in Wal-Mart, wreck up federal property or some other attempt at actual change and you will see how deeply hopeless the situation actually is. There is nothing you or I can do and people are too comfortable to care about real freedom.edit on 6-2-2011 by SmokeandShadow because: (no reason given)

It is not about wealth as much as connectedness to the ruling class. If someone is worth billions for instances and that person controls some valued resource he is approached to join the club. If someone is worth only a few hundred million but she has a large following or fan base she may be approached. Of course if they have a royal title they are in by default. If they are the CEO of a fortune 100 company well you get the picture.
Connectedness and a basic disregard for your own nation is important. If you are not invited to speak at the CFR for instance you are likely not in the club or even a candidate for that matter. This is not new information. How do you not know this stuff. It seems so self apparent to many of us I guess. Globalist elite are not patriots. They are citizens of the world and as such very much think they are above the rest of us.
This short book gives some good clues to how this will likely turn out.
