First and foremost, thank you for having the courage and ambition to get off your ass and do something about the direction that our nation has been steered over the last decade.
Now pack up your shit and let’s start working toward real change. So far, we’ve all called attention to some fairly relevant issues but the problem is that there is no real leader, no real goals, no real anything other than emotion. Your actions have been successful at receiving attention but it’s gone on for too long. You’ve got to get out of the parks and into the county council meetings. You’ve got to run for offices and take money out of the pockets of the 1% and begin empowering each other.
Stop fighting over who the leaders are and just become one. Take the time to listen to someone other than yourself and make changes in your personal life. Things can’t continue on the path they are on. By causing chaos and anarchy, you force the hands of military and police personnel and are losing the sympathy vote.
There are people who are fighting for our rights. Are you?
When you break the law, you become a criminal and you allow the powers that be to act accordingly. I get the occupation on the streets when there is a purpose, but what do you want? What will get you back in your homes? This country and the 1% now has an excuse to turn on and declare Marshall Law. Do you get what that means?
Martial law means imposing military rule by military authorities over designated regions such as New York, on an emergency basis—and although USUALLY only temporary—when the civilian government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively (e.g., maintain order and security, and provide essential services), when there are extensive riots and protests, or when the disobedience of the law becomes widespread, it could be long standing.
In most cases, military forces are deployed to quiet the crowds, to secure government buildings and key or sensitive locations, and to maintain order. This means that generally, military personnel will replace police departments and perform some or all of their functions.
THE CONSTITUTION COULD AND WILL BE SUSPENDED. When we are in full-scale martial law, the highest-ranking military officer would take over, or be installed, as the military governor or as head of the government, thus removing all power from the previous executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government.
I’m NOT saying to let anyone off the hook, but let’s be real and get organized. If there are organizations that have too much money or power then we have to do something about it. Sleeping in a park will NOT solve the problem. File lawsuits, join the government, if you want to hold protests, do them with purpose. Stop fighting and breaking the law and expecting cities to tolerate it. If you broke the law without the mob of others behind you doing the same thing it wouldn’t be tolerated.
There HAS TO BE some form of order in order to be productive. Start demanding accountability from those who want to hold you accountable. Let’s make the auto makers, bankers, insurance companies, etc pay back the money they stole from us. File complaints in EVERY CITY over JP Morgans monopoly on handling food stamps, because they are continuing to keep us all poor so they can make even more money.
Stop thinking you HAVE TO HAVE things that come from companies that use your money to fund hate groups.
You want leaders? Hold your own elections. For every 100 or 1000 people there should be a leader. The leaders should then have leaders and so forth until everyone’s ideas are being communicated because all we hear outside of your protests are a bunch of people complaining about a lot of issues with no resolution in sight and to be honest, I’m not willing to give up my rights because of your egos.
So be honest and stop being an asshole. If you’re not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem!
