In case anyone out there hasn't noticed, our nation is reaching a potential turning point. In case you are completely blind, deaf and dumb, you should know there are thousands of people "Occupying" Wall Street in protest. And their protest is probably the worthiest of causes of any protest this nation has seen since the tea party and the Revolutionary War. By tea party I don't mean the garbage touted by Fox News as some kind of genius reform party. I mean the fucking Boston Tea Party. And just in case you've been under a rock for decades, I should inform you that 1% of the population possesses 40% of all the wealth. How much do you have? Well, if you're reading MY blog, I am guessing you have something similar to me, which is...well jack shit. That means WE are the 99%. WE are the majority, and we're are allowing a few megalomaniacal, greedy scumbags to walk on us.
To this point our generation has remained the "rebels without a cause". We have stood for nothing while claiming to rebel against everything. Sure, we play our Rage Against the Machine records loud and proud, but for what? For entertainment, and the infinite enjoyment of being the rebel. Thousands continue to Occupy Wall Street, where they have remained since September 17, 2011. "Occupy protests" have popped up all over the nation. The internet is on fire spreading the word, and ordinary people just as us, pleading their case for change, begging for change, followed only by the words "I am the 99%". For fuck sake people, let those damn Farmville crops die, and use your voice. Give your attention to the future of this nation. How many of you have posted online, or said to a friend, soldiers have fought and died to uphold our Constitution?. Our freedom of speech, our RIGHT to peacefully assemble. If you do not exercise these rights, then they have died in vain, and it seems you have made these exclamations of passed soldiers merely for a few likes on Facebook, or to make yourself feel like a patriot. I'm not occupying Wall Street, because I can not feasibly get there and do so. But I sure as hell will use my voice. If you are watching this pass, or blindly following our "leaders" into an abyss, then I say you are "Un-American". You are un-patriotic, and fail to understand what these rights bestowed upon us by our founding fathers actually mean.
Many protesters have fallen victim now to a handful of dirtbag law enforcement officers, who are not LEO's at all., but rather bullies with a badge and an inferiority complex. I do salute the officers on Wall Street who are carrying out their duties in a professional and peaceful manner, but the bad apples are rotten to the core. So many out there will say this is just radical talk, it quite simply is not. I assure you if drastic change does not occur, then we will crumble as a nation. What happened to "united we stand, divided we fall"? Does that go away when it gets hard? The entire financial institution of this nation is broken and corrupt. We've blown this off for decades. We have ignored this problem, and claimed to be the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world. Well, America, guess what, shit just got real. It's time to deal with it. Spread the word and educate everyone you can. Converse about this every chance you get with everyone you know. The time is now. It's happening all around us. Stand up and let's make history instead of perishing in the past. We ARE the 99%, and we must accept nothing less than utter success. Failure is no longer an option.
Below I will provide several links detailing the events of Occupy Wall Street and what it stands for. I beg of you to watch these videos and read through these articles and websites. It won't make you laugh, there are no adorable kittens, but I promise you will learn something.
