Ok I am now convinced, REPUBLICANS wants a revolution

serious.

They are gonna get this if they keep doing this shit. It is not a conscious thing, but if they get one... all those pesky rights due to that pesky Constitution goes away.

This is crap! This is Shock Doctrine in living color!

On edit: I just posted this, when Rachel said Shock Doctrine.

and this is speaking volumes.

They will get a hot revolution if they keep this shit up.

the hard and inspired work of workers throughout this country (the best work force in the world) have made this country "exceptional". But the idealogues want to ride on the back of this work, and take control and line their pockets, and control in an autocratic way to rule the country - much like the Mubaraks, Gaddafis, etc in the world.

but that is due to my deep study of US history. No, they dont want to take us down the road of Egypt. They are going back to the nexus of US History, and that is cheap labor. Having rights and good pay has made us hard to control and bad for social order... yes Edmund Burke, or for that matter, Milton Friendman could have written that sentence... but having money and time means you got time to think and gee... demand more. The 1950-80 period was an exception in US History, but not one that made us exceptional. We are going back to the main of US history.

Oh and Friedman AND Osama agree on this.

They're still fighting the civil war, and the civil war was fought over slavery.

Don't let anybody tell you any different.




TG

just for completeness. if they can go back THERE, they will.

The point is that the right wing hammer on that theme - but they are not responsible for it. I think that less than 10% of scientists are right-wing.

What's been happening with the peaceful but growing demonstrations is scaring the living crap out of them.

and to some political scientists and historians it is starting to look like a modern revolt. <-------

This is not the kind they can control.

But what they want is a HOT, lead flying, kind of a revolt... ammo box and all.

Keep it frosty peeps, keep it frosty.

it's the persistence of ghandi like passive opposition that will take this country to a new and a better place.

and it'll make Cuba look like a Church Bingo in comparison.

Pinochet had dissidents rounded up, put in Santiago stadium and executed.

You really want to claim Republicans have rounded up hundreds of US citizens and tortured and executed them?

I think you're a wee bit overexcited.

you will read how they want this to happen to the 'commies' and they NEED 'law and order. If there is a large scale massive peaceful protest those calls will get louder. It might not be camps, but it could be live fire on protesters.

the Santiago Stadium and the Guerra Sucia will look like a walk in the part to what these guys want to do.

I am aware right wing nut cases would like violence and all that. But it doesn't change the fact that as of now, they aren't as bad as Pinochet, let alone worse.

Just because they're hyperbolic doesn't give you license to be hyperbolic and claim it as factual.

Sorry to crash the party, but if you agree with us, PLEASE feel free to copy our news release and spread the word. Many thanks, P.O.W.E.R.

P.O.W.E.R. walk!
Wisconsinites to walk from Milwaukee to Madison to support workers

Milwaukee, Wis. (March 7, 2011) – People Organizing Wisconsin for Education and workers’ Rights (P.O.W.E.R.) are Wisconsinites who support public education and collective bargaining rights for all workers. We are planning to walk from Milwaukee to Madison to show our opposition to Governor Scott Walker’s union-busting and anti-education budget proposals. The walk will begin on Friday March 11th at 6.a.m at Riverside University High School in Milwaukee.

P.O.W.E.R. is inspired by the ideals of “Fighting Bob” La Follette and rooted in the “Wisconsin Idea.” The century-old “Wisconsin Idea” promotes equality by:

• Building our collective economy
• Advancing healthcare and medicine
• Educating young and old and
• Enhancing quality of life for all.

Walk Details

The walk will begin at 6 a.m. at Riverside University High School (1615 E. Locust Street) in Milwaukee. The walk will be divided into three shifts:

1. Friday from Milwaukee to Concord (estimated hours: 13)
2. Saturday from Concord to Deerfield (estimated hours: 9)
3. Sunday from Deerfield to the Capitol building in Madison (estimated hours: 6)

For information about the route and other details, visit our Web site: http://powerwisconsin.wordpress.com/. We are also on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/POWER/150642121663170

the only media sure to cover you.

Oh and welcome to DU

AFL-CIO rally next Tuesday March 15th at Legislative Plaza here in Nashville between 12 Noon and 1PM. It's a solidarity rally with the TEA and supporting collective bargaining rights in general. If we can get a good turnout here in this deep red state (even though it's a blue dot) on a weekday, it should be more effective. Wish us luck. It will be my third this month.

The way the Saudis have an army of riot police mobilized, it promises to be violent. Hard to see how it wouldn't be--an authoritarian regime like Saudi Arabia doesn't know how to be anything but heavy-handed. AND it will drive the price of gas up even higher than it is already on an angry, stressed-out and tapped-out American population.

Mubarak resigned on February 11th, the date I picked somewhat arbitrarily as the day of the Great Turning, because 11 is a number with high numerological significance. Don't ask me to explain or defend that because I'm not an expert on numerology. I'm just going by what other people have said.

So now there's going to be a big protest in Saudi Arabia AND in Madison on March 11th. It's even more synchronistic when the number 11 is doubled--usually as 22, but we can read these dates, February 11th and March 11th, as another way of doubling.

I'd better stop now because I'm scaring myself! Only three days to wait to see how it all plays out, though.

Time to let the 'Belt Way" know how we feel about their avarice and greed.

Pass it on to all of the blogs, boards, friends and co-workers.

The moment we stop fighting for each other is the very moment we lose our Humanity.

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow!!

The Wall St. criminals just take and take, and they pay NOTHING, I mean fucking NOTHING back into it, and they're spending billions convincing us that it's necessary to get rid of programs that actually, you know, help people (but spending $400 billion on new fighter jets? That's not wasteful - that's vital to our national security!!!). But what they don't get is that we're fighting for what's left of the scraps, and when we don't have that left, we're coming for them.

Because, for the msot part, they really believe the bullshit the peddle.

it wont be long, people are coming outta the initial shock of this bumbling republican power play...outrage is building, we are amidst pangs of revolution everyday...
What will it take, for the people to finally rise up and do what must be done?

and like the New Deal I hope it remains MOSTLY peaceful.

Mostly I know they are not romantic, but I fear they want the latter... the violent kind.

What's that? Other than what carries my blood to my typing fingers.

Sorry...

That gives them the excuse to be as violent as they really want to be in return. That's why they always plant provocateurs, to guarantee violence when none is forthcoming from the protesters.

I hope revolution can happen with minimal violence, but that pretty much depends on the other side. The U.S. hasn't YET descended to the depths of barbarism of Gaddafi's Libya, where innocent protesters or bystanders are getting shot in the streets. So it's not unrealistic to hope for a peaceful revolution.

We put the same non-violent protests together time and again and then for no obvious reason, we get the WTO protest or Cindy Sheehan in Crawford or these many workers protests. Nothing when you start looks any different and then wham, history in the making. If we could bottle that "je ne c'est quoi", then we could get things working better at a faster than glacial speed.

all those years, it was getting ready.

May I recommend either Toynbee Study of History, or the very Americanized, and bastardized version called The Fourth Turning?

I could also recommend the Longee Dure, but that is much longer, and the Annale school IS a damn pain.

...you betcha.

I always remember that the members of Skull and Bones train themselves in the techniques of manufacturing chaos in order to profit from it.

Never forget that. The philosophy behind it is that of Hegel and Malthus. The manufacture of chaos is deliberate and tactical.

not even marx... all this lay it at the feet of one Milton Friedman.

The Right leaks everyday...listen to radio or watch TV. They control the message and it's a non-stop drip...drip...drip of emotional release. The Left has never had this forum to leak. Therefore, you wake up one morning and the Bastille has been stormed. No warning.

just that you have to be very careful to put them together.

The Bastille did not just happen. It has a buildup of 25 years at least


Like the US War of Independence... the foreshadows started in the 1720s.
