“Occupy Wall Street”

These are troubling times in America, the ineptitude of our nation’s senators and members of congress combined with the deceit and greed of Wall St., has convinced citizens to occupy the streets of America’s cities in the hopes that someone will feel their pain. The pain runs deep. It is a product of the realization that the upward mobility that we have always associated with this country and the “American Dream” is more of a chimera than we ever could have imagined. The major media outlets have been disrespectful and contemptuous in their coverage of their fellow Americans who have taken to the streets in an attempt to have their voices heard by the powers that be, who seem increasingly hard of hearing.
We must remember who these media sources answer to before we are so quick to condemn the individual employees who are simply carrying out their orders. Those media outlets are all owned by the same “one-percentors” who extract and control the government as well as all the revenue. The message being delivered is to promote, and at all costs preserve, the status quo which has enabled those owners to become millionaires and billionaires while their countrymen suffer in squalor. To those who have procured, or appropriated, millions and billions the system is working perfectly. In their minds, it couldn’t possibly work any better. The logical thing is for them to use the megaphones at their disposal, the media, to cajole and prod and brainwash the public into believing there is something, anything, legitimate about the system of government under which this country operates. We are a long way from home.
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain recently said “If you’re not rich and don’t have a job blame yourself.” Interestingly enough, he was right, we should blame ourselves, because one of our responsibilities as citizens of our country is to be actual citizens. We have all failed in that duty because we have all been fooled by the bumbling chicanery of buffoons. Do we ever stop and listen to the remarks made by our so-called “leaders”? If these are the best and brightest America has to offer, then we certainly can’t justify any of our rampant militarism. If those “leaders” are the best we have, than America is really not worth fighting for. In Reality our “leaders” are just about the worst we have to offer and they are the exact reason our alleged “enemies” supposedly hate us so much.
Stop and listen to the idiotic, childish comments being delivered by one of our Federal department heads as they stand at the lectern. If you look closely, you will notice they are actually reading their pandering, condescending remarks, remarks which were prepared in advance. Incredibly we have put the fortunes of our entire country in the hands of morons. Herman Cain was right; we should blame ourselves, for putting up with the idiocy we have put up with for so long. The only true threat to this nation is our own apathy and naiveté. We should’ve thrown the buns out a long time ago.
We now know why the powers that be have taken drastic measures to destroy the American education system. If the next generation of Americans were properly educated, they would realize almost immediately that this country is being run into the ground by common thieves posing as politicians and bankers, and demand their immediate removal. At every level of government, we have the same issues, stunning incompetence, inefficiency and ineffectiveness. Young Americans, using only basic intelligence are bound to figure this out. The only hope for preserving the status quo is to make sure that America offers such a pathetic education that our next generation can barely figure out which way is up.
All of our country’s problems can be solved easily but they will never be solved as long as we allow a system to operate which is designed to perpetuate them. This is a criminal system. The answer to the country’s problems is elementary: abolish the republic and install a direct democracy. The reasons are simple. The “representatives” that inhabit state and federal senates and legislatures are not our representatives; they represent the “one-percentors”. This would also abolish the foolishness that is the Republican and Democratic parties, which are really nothing more than a poorly disguised method of cutting the American people and their political power right in half.
The arrogant, silly, corporate media has criticized the “Occupy Wall St.” movement alleging that they have no demands. They only need one demand, a simple demand. Abolish the republic and install a direct democracy. By doing so, you instantly place the power and the finances of this country where they belong, in the hands of the “ninety-nine percent.” The “one-percent” have used their “law enforcement” thugs to attempt to crush the protesters and force them to abandon their righteous quest. As they have throughout this nation’s history, the police only “protect and serve” millionaires and billionaires. If someone comes to the residence of the average American citizen to hit them over the head and steal their property, by the time “law enforcement” arrives with their buffoons, the victim is thoroughly victimized if still alive at all. American “law enforcement” is practically useless, and an enormous waste of public revenue, who serve only one-percent of the public.
The military is even worse, their activities, always illegal and unjustified, put public funds directly into the pockets of millionaires and billionaires. As authoritarian rulers have throughout history, the government cultivates public paranoia, lying to us about “terrorist threats” that, in reality are practically harmless, in a pathetic transparent attempt to justify their imperialistic, capricious whims. In these unrighteous quests for empire, this government disregards every moral and natural law that exists in their customary self-righteous, arrogant, incompetent manner. All of their enemies come at the cost of trillions of American dollars and thousands of young American lives, high prices that we simply can no longer afford to pay.
One thing we know for an absolute fact, it is literally impossible to run this country any worse than it is being run today. American is poised for an unprecedented decline. In the masterpiece of American political theory “The Federalist Papers”, the argument in favor of a republic over a direct democracy is that a republic can govern a “greater number of citizens and extent of territory” than a democracy. While that was true in the 1700’s, we now have a weapon at our disposal that the founding fathers did not, technology. Every American using wireless technology can propose a bill, proposition, or law and his fellow Americans can ratify and vote on it. Our legislative bodies are obsolete; not only by their dramatic, profound, comprehensive failures, but by the fact we no longer need their incompetent services. If we leave this nation in their hands, it will be unrecognizable within the next 25 years anyway. It is unrecognizable as a “land of the free and home of the brave” as we speak.
It is time to put the American people behind the wheel and let them drive the car. It is time to amend to United States Constitution. Our purported “representatives” have played us out of pocket one time too many, and in the process, made a mockery and an international object of hatred out of a nation with unlimited, untopped potential for greatness. A direct democracy gives control of Wall St., the military and public finances to the people. It also saves trillions, eliminating bureaucracies. Anything short of this bold move and this nation which proclaims”liberty and justice of all” not one percent, will be a distant, painful memory of wasted potential, within the next two decades.

I don't want to be negative but, ummm... this is a bit rambling, and not even that accurate. A couple points that come to mind:

1) We didn't get into this situation from "ineptitude" of Congress and Senators; they are in fact highly skilled at what they do (theft and corruption).

2) Much of the media is on our side, have you watched lately? I'm seeing great coverage from local and national media. (Though I don't watch FoxNews)

Thanks for stimulating some ideas, but I hope this isn't really our official manifesto?
