Some people can face adversity and others want to hide and pretend nothing is happening. What might seems to be impossible with respect to political reform to save our future, actually becomes entirely probable. What you have to grasp here is that the news may be negative. However, it is that negativity that finally lights that one remaining match creating an explosion. They say that HOPE is eternal; perhaps. But while I tried very hard to make a difference and work from the inside on Capitol Hill, it is true I gave up. What I saw led me to believe I was wasting my time and above all it was pointless.
If you are walking down the street and a guy comes up with a gun and says – Your money or your life? Do you begin to preach that it is illegal to have a gun without a license? Whatever the rules or law might be, such things are totally irrelevant. He has the gun and you do not.
I laugh at those who thing corporations are evil and ignore government. They are typically weak-minded and easily influenced by propaganda. I may not be a fan of NY Bankers who have engaged in manipulating markets and buying government to stay out of jail. But let’s make no mistake. They do not have the guns and tanks to rob us of our freedom. Only government can oppress the people by sheer force of arms. Nonetheless, politicians always blame the “rich” to get elected and never themselves.
Our HOPE will be very simple. We have to CRASH AND BURN first. Without that pain, there is no reform and gain. Nobody will change anything before the system fails. It is unrealistic to see this message as BAD to justify hiding int the shadows. If you understand what is unfolding, the good news is you understand what the game is about and you can help in our time of need. We do not need someone hiding their head in the sand because if they do not comprehend how we have reached this point, they will be just blind fools handing more right to those who have created this nightmare. Therefore, what seems impossible (political reform) becomes possible only when the majority open their eyes.
