For those who fear an invasion of our country, I would remind them of the words of Nikita Khrushchev, “We do not need to invade the United States. We will conquer you from within.” And while I do not believe it is the Russians, it is certainly the Illuminati who have done just that. I knew something was wrong in this country. I could see changes that were disturbing. Regulations put in place as protection for the citizens were removed by bought and paid for politicians who apparently answered to someone other than us. I watched as factories closed and relocated overseas to be replaced by minimum wage with no benefit service jobs. I was alarmed at the number of unemployed seeking Welfare. But what finally convinced me of the corporate takeover was our wonderful collection of Supreme Fossils ruling that corporations were people and could contribute unlimited campaign contribution to candidates. AND the same traitors agreeing that We the People could no longer assemble or petition in the vicinity of elected officials. I am sure there is far worse to come if the American people don't get their collective heads out of the telly and pay attention to what is going on. According to two political philosophers interviewed by one of my modern day heroes, Chris Hedges and published at Nation of Change, “The devolution of the economic system has been accompanied by corporations seizure of nearly all forms of political and social power. The corporate elite, through a puppet political class and compliant intellectuals, pundits and press, still employs the language of a capitalistic democracy. But what has arisen is a new kind of control, inverted totalitarianism, which, according to one of these philosophers, Sheldon S. Wolin brilliantly dissects in his book, “Democracy Incorporated” “The corporate state is 'legitimated by elections it controls'. It exploits laws that once protected democracy to extinguish democracy; one example is allowing unlimited corporate campaign contributions in the name of our First Amendment right to free speech and our right to petition the government as citizens. It perpetuates politics all the time, but a politics that is not political. The endless election cycles are an example of politics without politics, driven not by substantive issues but manufactured political personalities and opinion polls. There is no national institution in the United States that can be described as democratic.” These men believe that revolt is the only way to take our country back from those who would destroy her. I wish there were another way. For full interview by Chris Hedges of Sheldon S. Wolin and John Ralston Saul, go to:www.nationofchange.org/2014/10/21/imperative-revolt
