This is the next inevitable step toward the capitalism end-game.

During the lost decade of G.W.Bush many Americans recognized the unabashed assault on our freedoms and liberty. Many tried to resist without avail. Many waited until 2008 when they thought they could throw off the shackles of corporatism by electing a Democratic president. But it seems corporatism has a firm hold on our government and mere voting isn’t working.

There are many that still live in the denial that we can vote our way out from under the tyranny of the Koch Brothers, Bloomberg, and Rupert Murdock. But the fact is they own the media, the police, the voting system, and Congress. More and more are beginning to recognize the futility of trying to work within a system that is corrupt to the core and have gone to the streets. Don’t fool yourself into thinking these people are just mad at the republicons. They are mad at a system that taxes them without representation.

Some people ask why the police are being so violent against peaceful demonstrators. It’s because our over-lords are authoritarians (bullies) and know no other way. They live to bully. They cannot give in.

This is not going away and I applaud the non-violence of the protesters. Our over-lords want it to become violent. They are ready for violence and they will win if we become violent.

Lines have been drawn this is the New American Revolution.
