In my family when someone is bored or restless we have a saying " Well, let's do something, even if it's wrong." This usually means taking a long
drive, doing some shopping we really can't afford, sponateously repainting a room, or splurging on dinner. It's a rut breaker or mood lifter.
This phrase keeps coming back to me watching OWS protests.
People are angry and frustrated and rightly so. We're swirling the drain. But, much like the Tea Party two years ago, this protest is ill defined and
being directed away from anything that would affect real change. Make no doubt about it, this protest is a trap. Not a damn thing will be accomplished
here other than arrests, property damage, and putting another wedge between folks in the name of the false left/right paradigm that is keeping
Americans from effecting REAL change.
Corrupt and dirty though they are, bankers and Wall Street are the wrong targets here. Government is the real evil, and the only people able to put it
right are too busy being herded through hoops and wasting time in agenda pushing, officially sponsored " protests" that only serve the NWO. Shutting
down the system means everyone suffers and the first one to offer stability will be crowned king. History shows it time and again. Think Putin. Or
Hitler. Or thousands of other leaders/tyrants that rose up when chaos reigned and people were tired and afraid.
Changing, or more correctly, restoring the system is the only way to win. First step on that path is a reconciliation of the OWS and the Tea Party.
Not the " official " groups, but the people who sympathize and have gone to an event or two. At the core, these people....Americans....are mostly on
the same page and the differences are not irreconcilable. THEY know that and that's why the demonization is so strong. WE the PEOPLE need to start
busting the walls down that THEY have erected between us and then we might get somewhere.
This.....this is just a large scale hissy fit that, while underestandable, is ultimately going to screw us all. The time to stay frosty was when that
Marine got attacked by the cops. Public sympathies were largely with him, the escalation since is eroding that support.
I'm not afraid to stand up, I just expect my metaphorical bullets to count. I want to take out the enemy, not shoot myself in the foot. I can't see
the whites of their eyes just yet.
