…have been “Slaves” to our “Masters” for far too long
…have let them get away with stealing our freedom
…have let them get away with stealing our labor
…have let them control almost every aspect of our lives and bodies
…have let them steal our privacy
…have let them brainwash us with – “education” (aka mass indoctrination) and “MSM” mainstream media (aka mass mis-information)
And guess what? It’s worked- for hundreds of years. They’ve created 7 Billion Sheeple.
It is about time the People have Awoken.
But- is anything going to be done about it? Or will we let them strangle and trample us still?
I see no change in politics, in the way our economy government is run, the way our economy is run, the way our society is run, none of the exposed corruption has been punished or dealt with, or rules or laws changed so it does not happen again.
We, the masses, see the corruption, see it continue on, day after day, yet nothing happens to these fuckers. They are laughing at us all the way to the bank.
What’s the solution? There is only ONE that I see.
WE NEED A REVOLUTION
!Vive la révolution!

It’s an uncanny characteristic of our species to follow psychopathic leaders, and to remain quiet and sedate as long as we have our toys and a minimum of comfort. I see no imminent attempt to change the situation on the part of we, the sheeple. We’re, for the most part, comfortable as well as in denial. “The System” has become so vast, powerful and entrenched that any attempt to wrest away power would be met with military action of the swiftest nature. American soldiers turning on American citizens. We already have a police force that does so, with practiced precision and apparent lack of conscience.
I am as guilty of being comfortable and in denial as all the people I just pointed my self righteous finger at. I’m a good little obedient mouse, paying taxes to the swine and turning in 40 hours a week. I too see no change coming. I believe we are precariously perched on the edge of ruin, and are exercising options that are becoming more and more elastic in their structure, in an attempt to keep our Titanic from succumbing to the icy water. Elastic only stretches so far before it snaps, and I believe one day, our house of cards will cease to stand.
Chip: What do you think will be the straw that breaks the camels back?
Everytime some new scandal arises, it seems to gain traction, then before you know it, it dies down again.
Look at all the 9/11 truthers a few years ago. Thought we were getting close then. How many people care about it now? no ones gonna forget it, but i bet most of the investigators have gone on to other things now.
Look at the stories in the past few weeks, the Seth Rich thing? People are digging like crazy and finding the same old ties to the same old scumbags.
I don’t know. I used to get excited when someone ‘practically’ concludes that something was done by them (the elite) now, i know it doesn’t mean shit. Shills everywhere. Threads shut down. Knowledge erased. People assassinated.
Is it cause the sheep far outnumber the truthers?
But even then, look at things like the second iraq war. How many people demonstrated against it? I think it was over a million in London.
It just seems pointless doesn’t it?
I bet, if/when the traction get’s that big, they’ll just use whatever tech they’ve got to kill us off and fuck off to their D.U.M.B’s and watch us fry, in glorious HD.
“Everytime some new scandal arises, it seems to gain traction, then before you know it, it dies down again.”
–>This is because every day there’s new scandals. People just can’t keep up!
“How many people demonstrated against it? I think it was over a million in London.
It just seems pointless doesn’t it?”
–>It is because “demonstrations” and marches alone do nothing. We can march all we want, gather and yell and scream with our picket signs, but that does nothing.
1. Only will we get to change things in Congress can we affect change in the laws/rules/regulations.
2. Only when the corporations feel it in their pocketbooks (ie bottom line) of their business, will they care.
It’s like saying “I hate McDonald’s, they’re evil and the food is unhealthy,” but then 2 seconds later, you go into McDonalds or Burger King and order a fries and drink. Speech is all well and good, but nothing happens unless people take action.
Case in Point- Icelandic women who worked outside of the home before 1975 earned less than sixty percent of what men earned. On October 24, 1975, “Icelandic women went on strike for the day to “demonstrate the indispensable work of women for Iceland’s economy and society”[1] and to “protest wage discrepancy and unfair employment practices.”[2] NINETY PERCENT of Iceland’s female population, led by women’s organizations, did not go to their paid jobs and did not do any housework or child-rearing for the whole day.[1]”
This basically shut down the ENTIRE country for a day. Then what happened? Iceland’s parliament passed a law guaranteeing equal rights for women and men. The strike also paved the way for the election of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, the first democratically elected female president in the world five years later in 1980.
Every ten years on the anniversary of the Day Off, women stop work early to “demonstrate their important positions and continue the struggle for equality.”[1] In 1975 the women strikers left work at 2:05pm, and in 2005 they left at 2:08pm, reflecting the tiny progress made in 30 years. Increasing the frequency of strikes, in 2010 they left work at 2:25pm and in 2016 at 2:38pm, with many women taking part in the Viking Clap outside the Althing.[6]
Fast forward to today- Icelandic women enjoy way more work rights and equality than most women around the world, even amongst the 1st world countries.
SO- taking action DOES do something. Simply staying home and bitchin’ about stuff doesn’t. Going on “marches” and “camping” in parks (aka Occupy Wall Street) doesn’t.
REAL change takes REAL action by the masses. The problem is that the masses rarely are united and rarely take real action. So the Masters win almost every time.
Indeed on the new scandals. Well, not just scandals as well. Celebrity deaths, missing people, war, suicide bombings etc.
I wonder how many people remember mh370 now? Same for the Germanwings crash.
The Mcdonalds thing:
I know eternal, i am just as much a hypocrite when it comes to things like this as well. Read the news on the foxcomm factory suicides – Didn’t stop me from buying a smartphone though.
“Hey, theres some clothes on offer”! I Didn’t think about the poor kids in the Phillipines who had to work from dawn to dusk to make them.
I’ll say this though – when the shit hits the fan, i’ll be an enthusiastic contributor. I’m just waiting for that spark. I bet i’m not alone in this though.
You start it eternal, and i’ll follow you to the gates of hell 🙂
I’ve never heard of the Icelandic women strike. lol, i swear it’s usually women who force real change in this life. (sufragettes for example)
I know we can protest by witholding our money to them, but be honest: say some scandal came out that bmw had been assasinating people in a war torn place in Africa, the scandal breaks, then bmw offers 10 000 off of a brand new car. People will still buy it, cause it doesn’t affect them directly.
I dunno mate, i think cause we’ve all got problems as well as dealing with all the barrage of bullshit, we’re just looking to get through the best way we can.
Yeah occupy wall street, bet a lot of people don’t even remember that now as well.
That’s because women have traditionally been suppressed, around the world, in ALL countries, throughout ALL time periods. So women had to do something. Otherwise, you wind up with draconian laws that don’t allow women to drive or vote or what have you. Even in the U.S. it wasn’t until 1920 that women were allowed to vote, 85 years after African American men were granted that right, and 428 years after whites colonized the Americas.
So it took 428 years for women in America to just have the right to vote. And we’re not even talking about other things – did you know – Even in places like the suppressive Middle East, in some places, women there are granted 3mo government mandated paid maternity leave. In the U.S. – we have 0.
In the United States, when our toys and entertainments begin to be taken from us, we will stand and fight. We will die for the right to our toys. We will hurl rocks, we will shoot our guns, we will start fires and demand our toys back, and at that point, we will be shot. But it begins with someone stealing our nice things, because to the average American, nothing real is worth dying for, except toys. Am I being unrealistic, ludicrous and far fetched? Insane and silly? I don’t know, I’ll let others decide for themselves. We’re being ass raped on a daily basis by our criminal, self serving government machine, but as long as we have Netflix, hell, why stand up and fight? We’re not in Syria or anything, so it’s cool, just wait, there’s a new reality show starting in the fall, and I hear it’s gonna be a good one. . .
No, you are absolutely correct Chip.
I think there was more outrage here in the UK, when they took the McRib off of the Mcdonalds Menu.
We are kept docile for a reason.
The trouble is they have been doing this for so long, they have mastered the craft. They know how far they can push us, hell we give them that information freely over facefuck etc
And then (as you well know lol) use the media against us to manufacture outrage at some irrelevent bullshit.
The only way i can see this changing is violent revolution, but not enough people will get involved out of fear, pure and simple. I guess thats why they peddle it so much on a daily basis.
“I think there was more outrage here in the UK, when they took the McRib off of the Mcdonalds Menu.”
–>That’s just sad. Sadly true. People don’t give a shit, that’s why they let this stuff happen. And omg yes, McD is terrible but damn those McRibs…
At least you can get them.
I protested for fucking hours lol
Chip- that’s exactly right. No one gives a shit unless something affects THEM.
-All those people in Flint with lead in their water? Don’t give a damn.
-All those Native American land being stolen and used to build pipes where oil will spill everywhere and fuck up their water? Don’t give a damn.
-All the innocent people dying in Syria because we’re the ones bombing the shit outta that place? Don’t give a damn.
-All the Mexicans being deported? Don’t give a damn. Wait- you’re deporting MY husband? But he’s a GOOD HOMBRE! Wait, NOW I CARE.
-Screw over the poor? Don’t give a damn. Wait- you wanna take away MY healthcare? Wait just a minute now…
Did you protest corruption? Nah.
Did you protest the McRib being taken away? HELL YEAH! lol
Actually, it’s not that easy to get the McRib here either. It comes into town maybe once a year, and you never know when or where. And lasts only 2 weeks. There’s actually a site called the McRib locator – mcriblocator . com lol
Just typed in my zip. “No McRib Sightings found within the past 15 days.” Damn.
Your fucking killing me here LOL 🙂
The Mcriblocator omfg
Yes, it IS a thing. Fact is, if they had where you were, you’d use the site to search for it too. Admit it. lol
Yeah
*hangs head in shame*
Damn you crack-laden addictive unhealthy but o’ so tasty McRib…
https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McRib
“The McRib made a return in the UK on December 31, 2014 until February 3, 2015. The McRib was sold again starting on October 2015 and ending in January 2016, but only in a few cities in a few states in the USA (55 percent of McDonald’s locations).”
I bet you still sleep in your ‘McRib Farewell Tour’ tshirt.
Save the Mcrib lol
Nah, don’t care enough about it to pay for a McD shirt. The fact that you even know there’s a McRib Farewell tour shirt means that either you have the shirt or you’ve considered it…lol 😛
*Hangs head in shame*…..again
Honestly, despite it being selfish, stupid etc. etc. – for now, I don’t care. I have enough shit on my plate. Politics, economy – I’ll start caring about them when I stop thinking about ways of killing myself every waking hour. Amen.
REAL change takes REAL action by the masses. The problem is that the masses rarely are united and rarely take real action. So the Masters win almost every time.
The masses don’t even bother to go outside for a real strike anymore.. They just change their fb profile puctures and use the newly introduced angry reaction on the scandal news shared on their news feed.
Of course, nobody does shit anymore. That’s exactly what the elites want. That’s why you have the current system of rampant corruption- because people are just too busy or too lazy to give a damn. If change can be effected by say, tweeting, then we’d have massive equality. But tweeting and posting on FB does nothing. Nor does our national obsession with food porn- i.e. posting pics of our food lol
In fact, if tweeting and fb could change anything, we didn’t have them in the first place.
Chip- Right, people do nothing because it takes a lot of effort to do something. Everyone’s got their own lives and things to worry about. Only when shit hits the fan and everyone’s backs are pushed against the wall will people finally do something. Riots are happening around the world, in Greece, in South America, and many other places (of course the MSM isn’t covering that). The masses are starting to protest with action in other parts of the world. In the US / UK / France, not so much. It’s all about “marches” and “camping” and scapegoating for now.
One of the main reasons people who may agree do nothing is that they feel their efforts won’t have a significant impact. Similar to people choosing not to vote for this reason.
Many of the people who do “protest with action” end up damaging their own movements, and driving people further into the other side of the spectrum. Unless it has a significant amount of force behind it and is coordinated rather than mindless, it will likely be counterproductive.
Yeah but not voting is what lead to this shit-train. Time to vote? Nah. I’mma stay home and eat some chips ‘n watch the game…
Yeah. I mean, much of it in the latest election was just an intense disliking of both candidates for a lot of people. But a general lack of interest from many is certainly part of it too.
What we need is some politician to come along and tell us they’re opposed to all the corruption, will drain the swamp, and then we can send them to Washington for to represent our minds! Is nothing changing? Time to break out the molotov cocktails and do things 1917 style. It’ll happen. Time marches onward and people will only tolerate so much bullshit.
I don’t know if this is true, but i read somewhere that you don’t get into ‘the club’ unless they have got something on you.
When the Jimmy Saville scandal broke and for a time afterwards, there were new stories so completely fucked up that kept breaking (almost daily it seemed for a while) that would make your mouth open in shock.
Politicians (from both sides of the government) were involved in both murder and child rape.
There were stories of the police and security services surpressing information and investigtions.
My belief is that even if a politician were to speak out against the rest of his colleagues, they would either silence him/her permanently, or discredit or leak that information.
If things are to be done, you are right only Russian Revolution style will work.
I always liked this quote as was supposedly said by H.W Bush
“If the American people knew what we have done, they would string us up from the lamp posts”
We’ve got Bernie Sanders. He’s certainly not keeping quiet!
We’ve also got Elizabeth Warren.
And…that’s pretty much it for the politicians who are on our side. We need more of them.
We had Nigel Farage for a while, he was fucking hilarious.
You ever see him in the European Parliament? Fuck, he pissed everyone off lol
And yeah, to have more people like them would be a refreshing change.
I think it’s human nature to ‘get comfortable’
They’ve got this cushty well paid job and pension for life, so why would they risk rocking the boat?
Oh yeah, am i right in thinking there was some dodgy shit that went down with Bernie / Clinton during the DNC?
I try to keep up with your American politics, but sometimes i don’t know what the fuck is going on.
There’s always dodgy shit in the DNC. That’s just another election cycle – the left wing pits all the city-folk against the right wing, all the country bumpkins, but we’re all in the same boat. We just beat each other with oars from either side.
There’s loads of dodgy shit in the RNC. Fact is, the ENTIRE American political system is corrupt. Left, Right, doesn’t matter. Money talks and Money gets their way.
And judging by what’s happening in other countries, it’s the same but in varying degrees of fucked-up-ness. The rich ALWAYS buy their corruption.
And pretty much gets away with it 99.999% of the time.
They get away with it until 1917 repeats itself. The pitchforks and torches are coming, it’s just a matter of time.
