Ok some observations on the state of the country

[nadinbrzezinski]

First off... China was behind the deal with N. Korea. Yes you read right the Chines made that deal and forced it upon all... for whom the bell tolls? The former superpower known as the United States.

Now lets deal with this great and amazing fact, many folks really don't want to admit how dire the straits we are in. This is not the time to talk about tuning things in an election. The electoral machine is completely and fully broken, and for any vote you get, Diebold gets 100... it is called the GEMS Database... and if you think you will get a clean election, I even have the deed for the Brooking bridge, anybody interested?

Good... so time to start thinking how you are going to make a difference. The march in DC is a good start, but will the media show it? No... so we will have a million man march that the media will not show...

Time to think creatively, out of the box... on how to challenge this madness.

This starts at the local area, talk to neighbors, katrina offers a chance, a window...

But you also need to think outside the box... a national strike, when well coordinated and run, slows down the economy, one day of disruption in any just in time business will hurt. Will one day have much of an effect? no, not unless these are followed by NATIONAL strikes that last longer every month... ask the French, and the Italian theirs are effective, but most Americans have been trained over the last 30 years to think that strikes and boycotts don't work, mission accomplished.

So time people face this, concentrate all you want on the '06 elections, but that system is broken, so how long will it take for people to realize we already live in the early phase of a police state. We can still communicate.

Now here is the other question and the Guardian posted the obvious... have we been atomized to the point that we are no longer a true country? If this is the case... how long until the country breaks up? I mean we are no longer a super power and quite frankly some of us have considered this as a good choice? And how long until the reactionary right realizes what is going on and the true horrors of a civil war, a hot one, start?

These are the best of times and the worst of times... for these are not that dissimilar to the years that led tot he radicalism of the Founding Fathers... the question is what will we do with this...

3. I agree thankyou for this post

Im afraid it will be too late when people finally wake up. Our
communications will be down. It will take a bit longer for people
to regroup and form a plan of action in their own areas.
It's sad because we do have mass communication right now and we
really dont utilize it to the best of our ability. People see the
worst coming but its human nature to want to deny what can't be
understood. The way we're all going to live....very soon, is hard to imagine.

4. teh same way the founding fathers did it

handbills, talk a little treason in public places, et al... they can detain 1000 of us... even two or three million, but if half the country rises, they can't
