(634 posts)when I was censored for saying that weakening SS was an impeachable offense in my opinion. Self-deleted it all.
Certainly hard to understand how any elected official can justify " entitlement" cuts when it is so obviously the wrong thing to do. You know something is wrong when the facts stare your leaders in the face and they pretend not to notice. It is corruption, pure and simple.
There will be no uprising, though. There may be violence, but we will direct it at one-another; not the true Enemy. The people are too well controlled by the crushing debt and endless media propaganda.When we protest, we go to government buildings. We should be going to one of the Koch brothers houses, or some other oligarch's home. they are the ones that really run things.
Tar and feathers all around !
People continue to participate in this system because they have the false belief that it is a Democracy. The Elites need us to keep believing this because they are vastly out numbered. This is actually a minor weakness for them; they need to maintain a facade of "freedom and democracy" whilst pursuing their agenda. so, occasionally , they have to give us something to keep us on the hook. But their Global Ponzi economy is unsustainable; soon, no amount of money printing will prevent collapse.
There will be no uprising, however.
Who would lead it?
Believe me, right now the internet is being scoured in order to answer this question.
watch what you post ....
