The Revolution of Standing...

The Revolution of Standing.
The Revolution of Peace.
The Revolution of Responsibility.

A recent conversation I was engaged in involved a young man who is very awake to many things.  He has a genuine desire to act upon the knowledge that he has.  Such as eating better for himself, eating real food and not frankenfood. This young man simply wanted a pineapple. Now the options he is aware of are: 1) Compromise and get an affordable one at any grocery store not knowing the truth about where this pineapple came from but assuming it probably came from a typical source using all manner of nastiness to produce it;  2) Go to the local farmers market where the pineapple is really affordable and it is assumed to be wholesome because it comes from a farmers market. But the truth is it is imported like all the rest. Or 3) Go to the local natural foods store where they have a genuine reputation for having good clean products and pay 10 times what one should pay for a pineapple.  

This very aware, very intelligent young man will most likely opt for the farmers market pineapple because by doing so he feels better about not giving his money to a big company who has no real concern for anything but making money... But mostly because its cheaper!  The reason he cannot shop at the reputable natural food store is that it costs too much.  And he'd rather not be homeless for buying good, real food.

THIS is where we must take a stand Americans.

We do not have to "overthrow" the government... We have to take our stand, in our own lives, in our own neighborhoods, in our reality!  This situation I've described is wrong.  This is capitalism.  This is not what the majority want.  But the majority are afraid to stand up and say so.  Because they don't want to be homeless.... or jobless.... or ruin their credit score..... or feel the shame of non-conformity.... They don't want to sacrifice for the truth, for what's right.  

Look at the people of Egypt, Turkey, Brazil... so many common people are rising up, walking off their jobs, abandoning what is normal and taking to the streets to tell those who are controlling their lives ENOUGH! Not one more day of this shit!  

They stand.

They stand in Peace.

They've taken responsibility for their own lives and their own communities.

In America we have some very real remnants of the Occupy movement.... But still so many more who are complacent and afraid.  Afraid to lose the job.... the position in the company.... the scraps that they live on.... Afraid to lose the house like so many have in the past five years....  Afraid their electricity will be turned off, their cable and internet, their water.....

THIS IS CONTROL ! ! ! ! ! !

America is an embarrassment to itself... to its ancestry.... to its flag... to its MILITARY.... to its heritage.

This Independence Day is a mockery of freedom and all who have begun to stand for it around the world.

You don't need guns to start a revolution.

All you need to do is tell the truth.  Stop turning a blind eye to things you KNOW aren't right.... 

STAND.

And if you feel the need to STAND in the streets with others who are tired of being afraid, tired of being a slave and living a lie.... then do it with the same pride and conviction you SAY OUR FOREFATHERS HAD at the time of the FIRST AMERICAN REVOLUTION.... which culminated in the signing of THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.... Part of a series of documents that ensure our freedom to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.... A freedom we NO LONGER HAVE.

Your employer steals from you, your government steals from you, all the corporations you patronize steal from you, lie to you, and laugh all the way to the bank with your money... SLAVE.

Take America Back.

I wish no one a happy 4th of July...... till everyone's free to truly be happy.

Wake up....... 

Times up.

There's no second chance this time.
