But is the Occupation movement enough? Might we find ourselves in a similar situation as in the 70's? Perhaps a few concessions will be made and we will take that pacifier and suckle peacefully thinking Big Mamma has given us her breast. Yet, this sociopathic Big Mamma laughs as she unfolds a breast filled with poisonous milk saturated with mind-altering drugs such as blonde bimbos offering cheap sexual pleasures, muscled clad men wrestling about a playing field for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and video games filled with blood and gore to prepare our youngsters for military service and to help keep them blinded to what is being done to their sugar coated minds.
"American, where are you now. Don't you care about your sons and daughters," Steppenwolf sings in "Monster."
It's for our sons and daughters that we must change. We need to prepare the way for them to occupy an abundant future. To begin, we must change by reclaiming a life of independence from the sociopaths running and ruining our lives. Some starting points may entail identifying ways in which we can develop alternative currencies and economies (e.g., time dollars), alternative ways of living to support ourselves in community (e.g., ecovillages, transition towns) and ways to become independent of big banks. Yes, some are there. There is a movement underfoot to go with local credit unions and to allow huge megalithic banks such as "Bank of America" behind in the dirt. But there is more to an iceberg than what we see at the surface. Underneath the surface of the banks there is a food industry that is destroying the ecology of our lands, and is torturing animals in horrid conditions (see the movie, Food Inc. For more information, visit http://www.foodincmovie.com/.) Of course, I could get into other horror stories, yet I bet you know of some.
Food Inc., especially, speaks to our need to develop self-sustaining communities. Ecovillages are such a movement where people gather together in community to raise their own foods, develop their own educational systems, and create alternative modes of economy. Ultimately, the way to defeat the major corporations and megalithic banks is not protest. It's for US to change. For this change to occur, we need to get together and allow our creativity to flow. No more should we be dependent on corporate and government sociopaths. They are killing us, and our sons and daughters. We must say "no more" by taking the ball out of their hands and into our own. Only then will our children have a future.
