In truth, however, it is not turban-wearing terrorists of Middle Eastern decent that threaten our lives and our freedoms; it is the domestic terrorists that hold public offices who will destroy us. The real enemy stealthily moves unencumbered in our midst, posing as our protectors, as guardians of democracy. The dangers now facing us as a people are truly beyond exaggeration.

We stand on the brink of the collapse of both the domestic and global economies, engineered by the plutocrats and corporatists who represent the world 's wealthiest one percent of the global population. This makes them a small but powerful minority. It also means that we out number them ninety-nine to one. Those are pretty good odds in any conflict; and they are good odds in a revolution. But only if we act to save ourselves and the world as we know it. The first step is to awaken the masses.

If we fail to unite with the vast majority of our fellow law abiding, peace loving citizens around this planet of majesty; if we fail to work across all of the boundaries that have kept us separate and disempowered for so many years, we will deserve the unimaginably horrible fate that awaits us on the other side of the Rubicon. I pray that we possess the requisite wisdom and strength of character not to go there.
