Global "Shocks" leading to Global Recognition of Global Empire
SHARE More Sharing
Connecting the 'Point Issues' of "Austerity", "Fiscal Cliff", "Middle East Wars", and "Global Warming" should lead us to the single CAUSE of Global Empire --- and to the single solution 'action' of Occupying the Empire that secretly "Occupies" US.

The Global Empire that doesn't wear 'Red Coats'
SHARE More Sharing
Our former country has been 'captured' and is fully "Occupied" by a DGE (disguised global Empire), a corporate/financial/militarist Empire, which hides behind a modern two-party 'Vichy' sham of faux democracy to avoid being as obvious as the British Empire.

"Occupy Empire" fighting to keep one version of the "American Dream"
SHARE More Sharing
The moneyed version of the American Dream has been perverted, but "Occupy Empire" efforts can hopefully keep the best version of another American Dream of democratic self-government, liberty, equality, justice, and our shared environment on earth alive.

Obama needs to be challenged in the Democratic primaries because he is a political pawn of the "Vichy Empire" that has captured and Occupies our former country.

Redefining the term 'Sovereign Wealth"
SHARE More Sharing
The global corporate/financial/militarist Empire which controls our former country by hiding behind the facade of its Two-Party "Vichy" sham of democracy has changed the definition of 'sovereign wealth' --- and also shifted sovereignty itself.

Externality Assessment Commission (EAC) vs. Empire
SHARE More Sharing
In summary, the EAC would not immediately be a perfect solution to the string of disasters we have been experiencing in wars, environmental, financial and health liabilities, but a forward leaning and pro-active EAC would allow the predictability that US business claims to want.

"Empire Rules"
SHARE More Sharing
How BP is being treated and punished for their crimes is really just a "signal' of how the new rules of a singular global corporate EMPIRE are going to be played on center court.

Economic World War has begun in Germany

The only real sustainable and long term solution is to have a democratic Global reserve currency, instead of the US dollar (which is now the Global Empire's perverse currency). Germany seems to know this, but ....

"Fair and balanced" debate between Lions and Lambs

"Toward a Unifying Theory of Religion and Humanism --- against Empire"
SHARE More Sharing
Religion, science, and humanism are inherently "democracy-oriented' and practice "democracy-thinking' in the best sense of free-will, liberty, intellectual integrity and equality --- whereas, Empire practices the opposite (although it obviously likes to disguise that fact).

"Instruction Manual for De-fusing the Nuclear-Economic "Doomsday Machine'"
SHARE More Sharing
Since things are moving very fast and devolving into multiple crises throughout the world, "Priority One' (or as Ford might say, "Job One") for President Obama (hopefully with the support of many "democracy-thinking' Americans) must be to immediately disavow the setting-off of this nuclear-economic "Doomsday Machine" (financial WMD), which is now causing such expanding/explosive/contagious destruction both here at home and throughout our world.

Anti-EMPIRE Clubs/League/Movement championing the Green Party in 2012
SHARE More Sharing
The first truly independent third party which refuses to take money from the corporate/financial/militarist Empire, which publicly commits itself to actually confront that Empire, and which secures the support of the growing Anti-Empire movement in America will easily displace the dying inertia of both the existing Republican and Democratic wings of the disgraced corporate Empire's phony parties, and secure a massive lead in political support from all average Americans.
