For too long the 1% have pitted various parts of the 99% against one another. You could list pages of such examples.

It's been exhausting struggling with our neck under the boot of the 1% while fighting fellow 99%ers with our arms and legs. Now we're starting to realize we have the power to get that boot off our collective neck. And that power comes from the very recognition that we don't need to fight each other for scraps. We have the power to create real and meaningful change. The process itself is cathartic after feeling repressed for so long.

Some of that repression came from the 1% and their media minions. Some of it we brought on ourselves, allowing fear to cloud our vision. But now the clouds are lifting. And it is starting to feel like a beautiful new day.

It was Breyton Breytonbach who said the following before starting his prison sentence in South Africa: "And now we lay our case before the world. Whether we win or whether we die, freedom will rise like the sun through the morning clouds."

Martin Luther King, Jr. put it like this: "Truth crushed to earth rises up." and "No lie can live forever." and "The moral arc of the universe bends towards justice."

And Bongo Jerry, the Rastafarian poet put it this way: "Sooner or later but mus' The dam going to bus' And everyone will be free What force can stop a river that knows it's course?
