2. This is my main concern when I hear about the idea of an American Uprising...

You occasionally hear this when you talk about the corporate owned political structure of the US; the idea of a "popular uprising". Such things worry me, in that they might easily be hijacked by those with their own agenda. Or that the end result will be just the exchange of one "Master of the Universe" for another. Or the only change would be an increase in government brutality towards its citizenry.

If the Monetary system remains the in place, then such "uprisings" will ultimately be failures. We all wear the " debt-as-money" slave collar around our necks. It is what keeps me( and many of you, I suppose ) on the sidelines of any real change in society. Most people cannot go " all in " for any such movement until they have lost everything. If you ( and your Family) are still holding on, you are still enslaved. The Monetary system owns you.

That is its primary function: control.

What we need now is an " evolution " of Civilization, not a Revolution....
