In Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Oman, the people have risen up against tyranny. This may have happened faster than the slave masters envisioned but it happened, nonetheless.   In response, the tyrants launched counter-offensives to kill the protesters and quell the movements but the slaughter only bred more protests and more awakenings across the globe.   

 

Likewise, We the People in America are now faced with the choice of surrendering our right to control our destiny or fall further victims to corporate exploitation.   We have allowed control of this country to shift from our hands into the hands of a corrupt Government but all across this country people are awakening to the reality of the current, corporate backed, global slave economy that Washington is allowing.  

 

It is happening already in Madison, Wisconsin against a repressive, corporatist regime encapsulated by a Republican Governor paid for by the Koch Brothers parading as a Representative of Wisconsinites and their struggles.   When faced with an oppressive regime that wanted to control the labor force though the destruction of their only collective voices; Labor Unions, the people of Wisconsin took a stand and currently are recalling a farce of a governor and retaking their State.   Additionally, the State representatives who backed Walker's moves toward a corporate dystopia are also being recalled for their deceptive, anti-American actions on behalf of the corporatist establishment.

 

The difference between America and the aforementioned countries though, is the denizens here believe they have too much to lose if they confront their slave masters.   Like rats in a maze, many of us are trapped within this corrupt system, struggling to survive.   We depend upon the masters to supply us with the necessities to feed our children and provide us place to hide from our collective realities.   We look to the cage door for the time when the food will come or the next episode of televised escapism will be given unto us.   Like addicts at the dealer's door, we make compromises to afford our addiction to surplus.  

 

How much will it take for Americans to rise up against a government that has inundated the landscape with false representation and fictitious promises of change?   Will your house have to be taken from you or your very freedom?   What about your children?   Will they have to suffer for your fears of partaking in true patriotic action?   What will it take for you to protect this country against this current regime of fascist corporatism and reclaim the Liberty this great nation is supposed to represent and was founded upon?

 

There is no greater country on Earth than America but it is quickly becoming a prison and the jailers are profiting from our imprisonment.   When the walls fall in on your own kingdom and the forces take from you all that you have worked for only to give it to corporate pirates and then, in the same motion, rob your children of their futures, will you then stand and fight or will you surrender and be imprisoned in chains of delusion just hoping the master will choose you to survive the slaughter of your liberty?

 

We must, once again, as in the time of America's revolution against the repressive regime of England, rise up and reclaim our country that our treasonous government has taken from us and once again, plant the flag of freedom on our shores.   Let history judge us as it sees fit but the corporatists should know this:   Never shall We the People allow this great nation and its citizens to be sold into economic slavery. At this point, there is only one course of action that can be taken as far as I am concerned: We the People Need to Protect Our Liberty No Matter the Cost.
