You Say You Want a Revolution

'Occupiers' are busy marching all over the globe, but, to date, nothing has really changed.

The fact is that the only "language" the rich and powerful understand lies in their pockets.

As long as their pockets are filled with OUR gold, we will not parlay the marching and the outcries into change.

It is for this reason that I make this declaration to you, my fellow marchers.

The system that supports these wealthy megalomaniac mongrels is paved with YOUR money.

YES...YOUR MONEY!

In order to affect any change at all, not only must we march, but we must march with our own gold; our own money.

And we must do it as a UNITED WHOLE...ALL TOGETHER...NOW....with NO DELAY!

That's right! Here is what I propose:

  1. Remove all your money from the banks (commercial, investment, and mutual savings), savings and loan associations, credit unions (you so trust to hold your money who control the wealth). a. Stop writing checks. b. Stop using debit cards. c. Stop using credit cards.
  1. Remove all your money from Investment Accounts, such as the Stock Market, Mutual Funds, Retirement Accounts/Pensions, State and Federal Bonds, 401k, CD, IRA, other Bonds and Notes, etc.
  1. Remove all your money from banking and investment intermediaries, and all other finance companies (asset management firms, brokerages, venture capital funds, pension funds, securities, underwriters, commodity, currency, futures, and options exchanges).

  2. Stop spending money at large retailers Top 25 Worlwide Retailers: http://www.licensemag.com/licensemag/Retail/Top-25-Global-Retailers/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/524652 (Amazon, eBay, Wal-Mart (U.S.), Kroger (U.S.), Costco (U.S.), Carrefour (France), CVS Caremark (U.S.), Target (U.S.), Groupe Auchan SA (France), Edeka Zentrale (Germany), Schwarz Unternehmens Treuhand KG (Germany), Walgreen (U.S.), Centres Distributeurs E. Leclerc (France), Metro AG (Germany), Aldi Einkauf GmbH & Co. (Germany), the Home Depot (U.S.)., Best Buy (U.S.), Sears Holdings (U.S.), Rewe-Zentral AG (Germany), Lowe's (U.S.), ITM Developpement International (Intermarche) (France), VSeven & i Holdings Co. Ltd. (Japan), Koninklijke Ahold (Netherlands), Safeway (U.S.), Woolworths Ltd. (Australia), AEON Co. (Japan) ) For a complete list see: http://www.stores.org/article-type/top-retailers-list http://www.stores.org/pdf/09Top100chart.pdf

For those of you who dare to go to the extreme:

  1. Stop paying for insurance policies (life insurance, casualty and property).
  1. Stop paying taxes (local, state, federal, sales, employment, etc).
  1. Stop paying off your credit cards, mortgage and other financial obligations.
  1. Stop buying gasoline and oil products. (chewing gum is an oil-based product) See: http://www.endoil.org/site/c.ddJGKNNnFmG/b.4090055/k.9C17/Uses_of_Oil.htm
  1. Stop buying electricity, water, natural gas.
  1. Stop going to work (unless you work for an organization that supports the Revolution)
  1. Do not send your children to school.

Yes, this will cause hardship in our lives, but IN THE END it will affect CHANGE!

These hardships will come in the way of soaring prices (as the powers that be fight back to defend their flawed system), therfore I suggest the following:

  1. Stock up on all neccessary staples and other items: a. Food and Water (at least 6 months worth) such as canned goods, twenty 5 gallon water jugs b. Candles (for those who will allow your electricity to be cut off) c. Batteries (to power your communication devices to hesr how the revolution is going)

  2. In the future: Purchase staples only from local organizations who are participating in the Revolution.

Yes, these actions that we MUST TAKE to effect change, will stall all economic activity and will most likely crash the world's stock markets, yet it will be for the GOOD of the proliteriate.

We MUST defer consumption of our desires and needs in order to affect current economic conditions.

WE MUST COME TOGETHER, WORK TOGETHER, AS A CONCERTED WHOLE TO EFFECT A LASTING CHANGE.

Even the threat of a world-wide Revolution of this kind may effect change, but nothing but ACTION and SUFFERANCE will create lasting change.

We accomplished a lot. We expressed a lot. We need to stay together, involve more and continue to tell what we think until new world is born. Otherwise our achievements will fade away.

I don't think we need to go that far but i would suggest everyone to read what this country was like in the 1800 & early 1900. There was no middle class & we were all worked in sweat shops. I think that's where the 1% whats us to be again. DO NOT take your kids out of school.

"7. Do not send your children to school." - What is this for? We need more educated people.

So we shut the world down, then what.

We go looking for "myame" to lead us out of the mess we have created. Anyone seen "myame" anywhere.

WE HAVE BEEN HAD.
