    • Listen there is still hope before people take up arms.

      We must safegaurd our currency to save the working class. The nature of Inflation is haphazard. Wages don't rise with prices when the Federal reserve inflates our money supply.

      But that is exactly what the federal reserve is proposing, to hyperinflate our money supply, destorying the value of the workingman's dollar while giving money of first instance to special interests at the top of the pyramid.

      We need a President to reinstate executive order 1111 to preserve our currency.

      The coming election in november will seal our doom, I'm afraid the publics demand of the Democrat's fixing the financial woes of the poor and the middle class in 20 months, that took thirty years to fuck up is looking like we will be handing over the seats of power to the very people that fucked it. There has been so many groups formed that can clearly not see the usefulness of our self governing, so they are settling for Tea Baggers, the something for nothing crowd. They are embraced by the Republican party who has suddenly realized people are waking up too the reality of what we have been rapped of. Clear thinkers who actually pay attention to history and the powers that have taken our government only for the benefit of a few, are preparing for this result! I suggest that you get together with like thinkers as soon as possible because many camping party's are forming for the expected outcome. Falling behind for another couple of years, with regressive Republican ideas will only make it worse for our class. Just like the patriots of late 1700's knew long before the general public, they knew direct action needed to take place. The coming revolution will be bloody but needed, and though s that have been fooled time and time again will eventually get on board because a Republican Tea Party solution is really no solution at all.

      Yes indeed, you are definitely right about that! All summer long we have been spoon fed a load of crap, as if the public has the shortest memory on planet earth. From being hood winked into thinking the Tea Party is some other new party, too saying over and over that the Democrat's are going too lose the election. The voting machines haven't been fixed since it was discovered how corrupt they are for a decade now. A belief that choosing a party will somehow miraculously change our very big problems. The coming revolution will be bloody and most people will not even understand it!

    • CHRIS HEDGES NAILED IT A WHILE AGO...
      Resist or Become Serfs
      America is devolving into a third-world nation. And if we do not immediately halt our elite’s rapacious looting of the public treasury we will be left with trillions in debts, which can never be repaid, and widespread human misery which we will be helpless to ameliorate. Our anemic democracy will be replaced with a robust national police state. The elite will withdraw into heavily guarded gated communities where they will have access to security, goods and services that cannot be afforded by the rest of us. Tens of millions of people, brutally controlled, will live in perpetual poverty. This is the inevitable result of unchecked corporate capitalism. The stimulus and bailout plans are not about saving us. They are about saving them. We can resist, which means street protests, disruptions of the system and demonstrations, or become serfs.

      The bullet to our head, inevitable if we do not radically alter course, will be sudden. We have been borrowing at the rate of more than $2 billion a day over the last 10 years, and at some point it has to stop. The moment China, the oil-rich states and other international investors stop buying treasury bonds the dollar will become junk. Inflation will rocket upward. We will become Weimar Germany. A furious and sustained backlash by a betrayed and angry populace, one unprepared intellectually and psychologically for collapse, will sweep aside the Democrats and most of the Republicans. A cabal of proto-fascist misfits, from Christian demagogues to simpletons like Sarah Palin to loudmouth talk show hosts, who we naively dismiss as buffoons, will find a following with promises of revenge and moral renewal. The elites, the ones with their Harvard Business School degrees and expensive vocabularies, will retreat into their sheltered enclaves of privilege and comfort. We will be left bereft and abandoned outside the gates.

      As for the definition of resistance...well it gets a little grim indeed ;)

      Zero Point of Systemic Collapse
      We stand on the cusp of one of humanity’s most dangerous moments.

      All resistance must recognize that the body politic and global capitalism are dead. We should stop wasting energy trying to reform or appeal to it. This does not mean the end of resistance, but it does mean very different forms of resistance. It means turning our energies toward building sustainable communities to weather the coming crisis, since we will be unable to survive and resist without a cooperative effort.

      The indifference to the plight of others and the supreme elevation of the self is what the corporate state seeks to instill in us. It uses fear, as well as hedonism, to thwart human compassion. We will have to continue to battle the mechanisms of the dominant culture, if for no other reason than to preserve through small, even tiny acts, our common humanity. We will have to resist the temptation to fold in on ourselves and to ignore the cruelty outside our door. Hope endures in these often imperceptible acts of defiance. This defiance, this capacity to say no, is what the psychopathic forces in control of our power systems seek to eradicate. As long as we are willing to defy these forces we have a chance, if not for ourselves, then at least for those who follow. As long as we defy these forces we remain alive. And for now this is the only victory possible.

    • How can you label society with either serf or slave, when there are Robin Hoods( bank robbers and dealers ), prophets( money hungry preachers ), and a slew of other ways to succeed with money. In honesty, most people will view a fortune as a measure of success, but some will be satisfied with living off the grid and from the land - those people are free and independent.

    • Democracy is immoral, and besides, we don't really live in real democracy anyways.. In real democracy, the people vote on everything. This means that if you want to marry someone, you have to ask permission from your city council.

      Let's say you do go to a vote, and it comes back 5-8 against you. Democracy WON!!!.....BUT FREEDOM LOST. The people will use violence on you (arrest you if you get married without their consent) even though you are a peaceful person...

      Another thing, how can anyone say we've had capitalism?!? We've actually never had capitalism. That would mean no Federal Reserve, no price setting, no corporate special interests and lobbying, no warfare/welfare state, no war on drugs, no wealth redistribution.... this has NOTHING to do with free market capitalism and everything to do with CRONY CORPORATISM and government corporate socialism.

      Don't get me wrong, I hate corporatism, but that is what government is....the biggest corporation in the world...with coercion and threats of force and violence as it's only competitive advantage and core competency.

      Until more people accept the fact that government is force, and taxation is theft, corruption and government will continue....

      Mike can you show me any society or country that is similiar to what you preach? You never seem to recognize in the good old days of freedom that there was ALWAYS someone bigger, stronger or richer taking advantage of people weaker than them. Woman, children, minorities, disable people and the poor always got the shitty end of the stick. As bad as you think it is now I dont think you really understand in a deep, visceral way how most people used to live before there was "goverment interference".

      hey man, don't mess with mike, he has a business degree and knows much more than you, and he's the only moral person in the world besides Ron Paul, and Rand Paul, you evil, violent statist. You're just too dumb to realize how bad we have it nowadays!

      Sure. Once we abolish the Federal Reserve and go back to paying debts in pounds of tobacco we should be all set. When we eliminate OSHA and the Dept. of Labor we can go back to the sweatshops and black lung disease. Then we eliminate the Dept. of Education so that Texas can go back to teaching evolution as scientific fact and the natural superiority of the white man. Once we gut the income tax we can return to funding the military with tariffs and they can resume training with wooden guns. While we are at it lets chuck the FBI so that the crooks can just move to the next state when things get hot. Don't forget the Dept. of Energy we can outsource our nuclear arsenal to Halliburton and let Blackwater take over security. It will be a good thing that we can buy any guns we want because now that every man is full of personal responsibility we better be prepared to back up our familial duties with hot lead.

      What is not even considered by most is how we got here in the first place.

      In the late 50's and on, progressives in govt convinced the majorities in the house and senate that Govt funding 'grass root' organizations was the 'best' way to reach and assist community development in urban areas, because those who lived in those environments would know how best to utilize those resources.

      It took less than a heartbeat for the crooks and charlatans to tap into those resources under the guise of 'community action committees' sucking up tax-payer dollars to create their own little economic fiefdoms, doling out the dollars to their 'downtrodden' in trade for their 'support' of socialist programs. From those rose such entities as the 'Rainbow/Push Coalition' which:
      * Civil rights organization formed by merger between two groups founded by Jesse Jackson
      * Supports race preferences, alternatives to incarceration, and bigger government
      * Drives much of its agenda through frivolous, unsubstantiated charges of institutional and corporate racism.
      Although I've mentioned only one such organization here, there are scores of such leftist socialist groups that are funded by taxpayers dollars that've only gone to undermine the self determination of whole communities and turn them into sycophants of welfare govt.

      ... and then the progressive left has the balls to push the fault on Corporatism, which is the very element they've created, and now it is their scapegoat?

      The battle lines have been drawn, sides are being chosen, and I don't think economy is going to get much better. A good sign of the real divide will be continued tax cuts for the upper 2%, if that happens it will be proof our politicians are not listening. End of Democracy will be that move in particular, over 80% in the latest polls shows people want that tax cut taken from the rich. It was pretty evident when the polls were running at about 65 % for single payer and it wasn't even put on the table. Our representatives no longer represent the citizens only special interests.

    • I thought it appropriate to add this article so everyone could get a better idea of what your duties will be with the Kingdoms of the rich Elites dominating your future lives. This coming election will chisel in stone for years a futile system where living on crumbs will be your destiny. The last ditch chance of saving Democracy was a valiant effort, but selfish greedy individuals and corporations thought it would be a better idea to create a permanent Elite class and everyone else can go fly a kite!

      Learn to shoot. Hmmm. Who would you plan on shooting? Most of us see the serf/lord relationship as the one betwen the people (serfs) and the government (lord). Are you advocating or training to engage the government?

      Find the man called "Boss" ( CEO will do ),....wherever you find him,....hunt him down like a dog and bring him to heel. If he surrenders -collar him. If he uses force to resist,....well,....lets just say, perhaps that would be for the best; simpler.
