THE GLOBAL REVOLUTION

“…..once in a generation…we get a chance for freedom…this is our chance..”

“I have for many years lived with the knowledge that we, the masses, the working class, the poor, the white, the black, the brown, the immigrants, the Christians,
the Muslims, the atheists, the soldiers/ex-soldiers, the peaceniks, the
communists, the anarchists, the students, the people, across the
spectrum, we all have a common cause”….Ken O’Keefe

I have for many years lived with the knowledge that we, the masses, the working class, the poor, the white, the black, the brown, the immigrants, the Christians, the Muslims, the atheists, the
soldiers/ex-soldiers, the peaceniks, the communists, the anarchists,
the students, the people, across the spectrum, we all have a common
cause.  And yet, we have so tragically allowed ourselves to be duped,
to be pitted against each other, fighting each other, finding a million
ways to divide ourselves, or simply to be indifferent to each other. 
In this the tyrant’s smile, they laugh and they joke, about how
complete their control over us is.  They have been laughing for far too
long.

I know how this happens, growing up in my white middle-class Californian life; I was a mindless idiot like most, I had no idea that we in the West were living on the back of the blood sweat and tears of
countless people around the globe.  I was clueless about our reaping
the benefits of the plunder of the world.  I too was living in that
bubble of indifference, a bubble that is finally bursting.  I wonder if
the billions who have suffered for our indifference can forgive us?  I
wonder if we will be honest about our criminal complacency which has
resulted in an unfathomable amount of suffering and death?

Ah but alas, the American empire is crumbling, it is rotting from within, like every single empire before it.  And how poetic that its accelerated demise was ignited by the rage and desperation of one Mohamed Bouazizi, one of the countless victims meant to be just another statistic; no no, this statistic just kicked off a global revolution.

Think about it, if a street vendor can do that, imagine the power of the people united, intelligent, fearless and indomitable.
