We Ain't Got
Time To Bleed. It's Time for the Revolution.
Jesse Ventura |
You control our world.
You've poisoned the air we breathe,
contaminated the water we drink,
and copyrighted the food we eat.
We fight in your wars,
die for your causes,
and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you.
You've liquidated our savings,
destroyed our middle class,
and used our tax dollars to bailout your unending greed.
We are slaves to your corporations,
zombies to your airwaves,
servants to your decadence.
You've stolen our elections,
assassinated our leaders,
and abolished our basic rights as human beings.
You own our property,
shipped away our jobs,
and shredded our unions.
You've profited off of disaster,
destabilized our currencies,
and raised our cost of living.
You've monopolized our freedom,
stripped away our education,
and have almost extinguished our flame.
We are hit...
we are bleeding...
but we ain't got time to bleed.
We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our revolution! " |

Former Minnesota Governor

 Commentary by John L. Peterson
Perhaps it's just the
stuff that shows up here, but I'm increasingly seeing anger in
people about the disconnect between citizens and their governments.
Just this morning I received a piece that said that a recent poll
said that most Americans don't have confidence in the future of
the economy. At the same time we've got officials like Department
of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano defending the TSA
putting their hands in the pants of a 6 year old girl, apparently
searching for bombs. " .
. . it was done professionally according to the protocols," she
said on TV.
And then the Huffington Post reported that a provision in the new
9/11 health bill may be adding insult to injury for people who
fell sick after their service in the aftermath of the 2001 attacks.
The tens of thousands of cops, firefighters, construction workers
and others who survived the worst terrorist assault in U.S. history
and risked their lives in its wake will soon be informed that their
names must be run through the FBI's terrorism watch list in order
to get medical treatment for the numerous, worsening ailments that
specific legislation was passed to address. Did you get that? Our
government wants to withhold treatment for 9/11 incurred health
problems in individuals who sacrificed their future to help others
unless they are screened for being potential terrorists.
Where does being a civilized human fit into all of this? Where has
common sense gone? How long does it keep going on? Well, it keeps
going on until we change, and that change has to come from within
us. I promise you that our government is not going to suddenly
see the light and mend their ways. There are just too many lobbyists!
But there is hope. I've just returned from a very provocative workshop
led by Drunvalo Melchizedek in Sedona, Arizona that was all about
this internal change. It was pretty radical, proposing that through
certain processes one could reconfigure the energy around themselves
such that it would make them impervious to major disruption going
on outside. I know it sounds a bit farfetched, but I'm increasingly
convinced that the essence of the shift that humanity and the world
are going through is essentially invisible - it is about profound
changes of things like personal energy fields and feelings of love
and gratitude for the earth and the rest of the universe, which,
of course derive from quite a different view of how all of this
reality works. It's no less than a paradigm shift. A radical re-understanding
of the fundamentals of life. These new ideas seem to make sense
in part because they really do seem to work.
So, I'm encouraged. It's a good start.
