Underground buzz about the book Wildfire:The Legislation that Ignited the Great Recession got average American's in an uproar. From there it spread to the streets. Wall Street and Congress should be very afraid of this book, the rage will continue to spread as more people read this. They raped us and are paying no consequences; their time will come.

I knew about them in 87, I was in Vancouver and was 20. I lived with 4 other guys in a house in East Van. 2 of them were Kalle boys...they defaced Billboards. I asked to meet him and was told that b/c I was an American I was told to stay away or get hurt.

No kiddin

I dated a chic, and she was afraid of him....when I asked her to introduce me...she knew him and said "if he dont want to meet you, I aint introducing you..no way" The only other person in that town I ever heard cause such fear was that Pig Farmer.....and he was there in 87 also..and everyone DT knew it too.

In 91, A friend of hers came by with first copy Adbusters. She wanted us to sponsor her to go traveling the world and spread the word that one day a global revolution would be called...the secret master plane.

I forgot this till this thing launched....so guess this must be it.

The disturbing thing I seee, is:

All those years of so calleed planning, and coming out with a Direct Democracy banner...and NO VOTING SYSTEM.

The system is rigged b/c the voting machines are rigged (Ohio 2004) see court testimony.

So, if you are serious about peaceful revolution...wheres the software...or were they planning to take over as an unelected Government....or hold elections on the same rigged machines

Something very very fishy bout all this.

And when you look deep, it has all the markings of a Bankers sponsored operation in the same way Lenin and Trotsky were financed by the Bankers to co-opt the Russian Peoples Revolution.

I think we are seeing history repeat with a new twist.

Obviously America wants a revolt..and this could be the way to turn it into a riot-cum-martial law.

Anyhow, as a die hard Direct Democracy guy, all I see is OWS co-opting the term and putting a travesty of a process in place.

Twinkles....when you could have a transparent voting system...something is up.

In Russia, they denied them telephones...to isolate groups...I see the same thing happening here by isolating decision making ...

My thoughts

Reading that makes me wonder what happened to the boldfaced part?

The beauty of this new formula, and what makes this novel tactic exciting, is its pragmatic simplicity: we talk to each other in various physical gatherings and virtual people's assemblies … we zero in on what our one demand will be, a demand that awakens the imagination and, if achieved, would propel us toward the radical democracy of the future … and then we go out and seize a square of singular symbolic significance and put our asses on the line to make it happen.

Regardless, the book will soon become the anthem of the former middle-class.....it's time to rise up, we are being pillaged.

How can I trust you after you blatantly lied?

[-] 1 points by StanBrunswick25 (6) 12 years ago

No lie. The facts are the facts, I'm just not going to argue with the adbuster argument.

[-] 1 points by laffingrass (362) from Normal, IL 12 years ago

Yes, you lied.

Suit yourself.

Yes it started from Adbusters a Canadian firm manipulating the US media, and those being disenfranchised by our economic mess created in washington. Notice i did not blame a politcal party
