I have grown up attempting to achieve the American Dream. I was raised on a diet of patriotism and blind loyalty to a country that promised I would one day be rewarded for my hard work and dedication. As I went through life I was presented with nothing but a series of struggles that never once challenged my dedication or work ethic. Instead, I have constantly been challenged with political and soc
ial critiques of my person and my way of life. Instead of living in a country of free peoples I now live in a world of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, perpetrated by the very same government that swore to me in my childhood that it would never do such a thing. Instead of freedom, I found repression. Instead of intellectual thought, I found propaganda. Instead of an open market, I found near-totalitarian levels of small business controls. Instead of America, I found a country that resembles East Germany. Every day more and more innocent people are stopped on the streets of New York City and frisked for no other reason than they're in a high crime area and happen to have a dark skin color. Every day my federal government gives money - my tax money - to large corporations to bail them out of self-made crises. These bailouts will not be paid back, just ask the CEO of GM. Every day my federal government uses drones to take out "potential" terrorists - while murdering innocent civilians at a wedding, and they do this in my name. Every day the IRS will throw someone in federal prison or a slave labor work camp for failing to pay their taxes - or they'll just simply take everything they own and throw them out on the street. Every day that passes by, the NSA, CIA, FBI, DHS, DEA, and ATF spy, snoop, and gather information on my people, then share that information with each other. When evidence is found of a crime they are told to re-create the evidence to present it in court because what they're doing is illegal. These three letter organizations invade the privacy - and destroy the lives - of innocent people just to enforce laws on less than 0.5% of the population. Every day my federal government gives money and turns a blind eye to large corporations - like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T - so that they can continue to "improve" their networks, by never investing any of my tax money into their infrastructure, never providing me with improved services, hardly providing customer support, and charging me more money for the same garbage. Every day my federal government allows members of the record and movie industries - former members of American mafia families - to infiltrate its ranks and force archaic and asinine copyright laws on people like me - people who just want to listen to music, watch a movie, laugh, and live a little; but, we cannot do that. Instead, we're forced to pay high premiums for old content, and when the copyright holder gets upset, they can take it away from us and force us to "buy" (rent) it again. Every day protesters are sectioned off into "free speech zones" - which are convieniently located across the street and around the block from institutions and governments they are protesting. I have seen the White House Press Corps turn from an elite unite of hard hitting journalists to nothing but a ghetto rank of dirty wh**es whose desire for attention and fame far outstrips their desire to actually get answers from politicans that use doublespeak to advance their party agendas. Every day I see people who have sworn to uphold the constitution ignore the rights we have guaranteed ourselves in order to cover their tracks and tow the party line. I have seen whistleblowers who exposed government programs that clearly violated my constitutional rights declared as being "harmful" to the "American way of life" and deemed criminals by the very criminals the whistleblower had exposed - and every media outlet went along with the charade. Somehow, some way, according to government (and social) propaganda, by working harder I will achieve my life goals; yet, when I work harder, and I look around at the people working harder than I am, I see the lie in the propaganda: working hard doesn't work. To create wealth - and, also, to create a comfortable style of living - you must network with more powerful people, and get them to like you. Intelligence, schooling, and hard work mean nothing - the goal in life is to suck up to the top earners and leech money off of them like a babe suckling a tit. I have seen all of this take place while civil protests happened. I have seen civil disobedience take place. I, too, used to be a bleeding heart liberal - with all the hope and optimism of a young boy - but as I've grown older I've become much more aware of just how easy it is to marginalize important movements. Because of the order demanded by today's government system, protests and mass acts of civil disobedience no longer work. These people are able to be controlled and their message contained. I have seen people organize voting protests designed to vote third party candidates. These have failed time and time again. In several instances I have seen districts with historically low (< 20%) voter turnout magically have nearly 100% voter turnout when these protests were arranged. I have seen both democrat and republican have this sort of "luck" and it sickens me. This has lead me to one conclusion: violence against the tyranny in the United States of America is the only choice left to restore humanity to this part of the world. If you are a like-minded individual or group, I am asking that you join us, talk to us, and spread the idea of revolution with us. Together, we can change the world. Your brother in strife, HB
