A cry for help to our traditional Republican friends and neighbors.

Once upon a time, most of us had Republican friends and neighbors. Sure, we didn't agree all the time, but there was almost always a significant degree of mutual respect, much like being the "loyal opposition" to each other's party.

We also shouldn't forget that financially conservative traditional Republicans are AT LEAST as horrified as we are by our plummeting economy and Bush/fascist financial insanities and illegalities in the trillions! And our dollar? Well, let's just not talk about that. Or the housing market? Or pre earthquake fissures in the stock market?

Also, to be fair and accurate, we should acknowledge that traditional Republicans have an honorable history when it comes to environmental issues. Indeed, thanks to them we had many (now Bush-dismantled) governmental protections for Mother Nature.

The list could go on and on, but this was the good ol' days when we had a viable two party system and this dynamic was the engine of American politics -- and "in general" Democrats and Republicans got along tolerably well. Let's face it, we certainly didn't think of them as Democracy and planet killers!

Alas, all that is now deader than dead, since the closest thing we have to a two party system now are fascists vs. progressives. The DLC establishment Democratic Party has basically been eaten alive by the Bush/Republican Party. Establishment Democrats (e.g., Pelosi, Reed, and Clinton) have all turned out to be closet Bush/Republicans. Hillary Clinton is a veritable female clone of George W. Bush and she's the number one presidential candidate for Carville-type beltway Democrats!

And the moral to this is what?

The moral is that Democracy and the Earth are being voraciously murdered by Bush/fascist psychopaths. EVERYTHING we hear now about global warming, ozone holes, oceanic pollution, etc., is the death rattle of the ecosystem of the planet. Also, remember that dipstick Armageddon religious fanatics think the Earth is going to go *boom* any day now, so they don't give a rat's derriere about our bleeding and beloved Mother Nature? Maybe it has something to do with being blessed with 70 IQ's.

And our Democratic Republic (going back to President Lincoln -- a Republican) has been replaced by Bush/fascists with an American early 3rd millennia version of the German 3rd Reich. Remember the German 3rd Reich? If not, let's just say it's what you see on Judas, propaganda television every day: genocide of innocent people, the rape and murder of our one and only planet, and a gargantuan transfer of wealth from the middle and lower classes to less than one percent of the American population (the vampire elites).

In short, a Dictatorship of the Rich Police State. So, the Bush/fascists represent NEITHER traditional Republicans any more than they represent traditional Democrats. This is not and never has been the issue or conflict.

Something ABSOLUTELY NEW is now loose in America and it's NOT the traditional Republican Party. Indeed, it is the mortal enemy of the traditional Republican Party because it is the mortal enemy of human civilization itself.

So, God in heaven, help us out here Republican friends! This all so lose/lose for ALL of us (Democrats, Republicans, and the human race) that we need all the help we can get. Our own party has virtually gone belly up, so all you honorable (and probably equally horrified!) traditional Republicans may help us all far more than the rags that are left of the Democratic Party.

Let's say it straight out. This is a cry for help from what you might consider liberals and progressives (the residue of FDR Democrats) to our Republican neighbors, relatives, and friends who loath and fear what these Bush neo Nazis (which is EXACTLY what they are!) are doing to our Constitutional Democracy and our nurturing, beautiful, and one and only planet Earth.

Bottom line: God Bless America and Mother Earth are fighting for their lives against the 4th Reich of George W. Bush. And right now, we're going down for the 3rd time! Plus, we should NEVER forget that the Royal Bush Family in the personage of Prescott Bush, G. W’s grandfather, tried to do EXACTLY the same thing in the 30's (check out Prescott Bush's name and see what you get -- just make sure you have a barf bag).

Please make no mistake. This is absolutely a cry for help! You folks must realize by now that if we don't WORK TOGETHER to get rid of these literal neo Nazis, our planet and Democracy are doomed. Who would have dreamed that, like, cancer in remission, they survived in the dark cracks of post WW2 until the time was right to reemerge as the metastasized cancer (and anti-Christ?) of Herr George W. Bush?

The horrific question: How much are Democrats afraid to speak out because they fear assassination?

It's amazing how much America changed after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In a sense, the idealism, confidence, and optimism of the Democratic Party were assassinated as well. And then the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. And then the assassination of Bobby Kennedy.

And then the assassination (?) of Senator Paul Wellstone -- with the strategic Iraq flip/flop to the pugs in the Senate after his death.

And the anthrax in the mail that was sent only to high profile Democrats.

Clearly, whoever hates the FDR Democratic Party is willing to murder over and over again.

The impotent anthrax investigation might just as well have been conducted by dogs and cats and the JFK assassination was virtually demoted to a "conspiracy theory" (the catch all Republican spin to cover their crimes). But wait a minute! You mean he WASN'T assassinated and all those Democrats DIDN'T get anthrax in the mail?

No, those are all conspiracy theories and Democrats just like to shoot and poison themselves.

And 9/11? God knows.

How many desperately needed Democratic Presidential candidates are taking a pass because they simply want to stay alive a few more years?

Organized crime politics knows that a dollop of terror works wonders to stifle a Congress, so who needs a majority if home grown terrorists are muzzling elected Democratic officials quite nicely?

This doesn't mean the elite hog trough isn't congested with both dems and pugs, but it does mean the dems may be given "offers they can't refuse".

There's not much more to be said about this since fear is not something you can explain away.

But haven't you noticed that post Senator Wellstone and anthrax, the Democratic Party abruptly became Republican light? Doesn’t this plausibly mean “they got the message”?

Let's pray that our Constitutional Ship of State isn’t being sunk by murdering rats from hell.

A Common Sense Revolution which will abolutely save America and the Earth.

Imagine you're living in a community in which criminals are poisoning the water supply and basically own the police force. Naturally, they're dealing drugs and are responsible for most of the "organized crime" in the community. Also imagine that (like their television caricatures) they like to see themselves as "businessmen". Indeed, most of their income actually does comes from businesses like grocery stores, fuel companies, clothing stores, and maybe advertising on local television stations.

In short, in this fantasy community "organized crime" is thriving, even though the citizens of the community have lost nearly all of their civil rights, (remember, the criminals "own" the government), and have no political representation. Their financial lives continue to get worse and worse (many families now have three jobs and vacations are a memory), and the feeling of hopelessness is like smog of despair that poisons every aspect of the community.

And oh yes, most of the churches are worse than useless since they're either sucking up to the criminals, or they condition their followers to escape into psychotic fairly tales in which the world in going to go boom any day now. Sigh!

Politics is much worse since (big surprise!) nearly all the politicians are at the hog trough provided by the criminals for their obedient political monkeys. Are you listening, 2006 “Democratic” Congress?

So, what does the average citizen (American) do in such a living hell?

Boycotts, what else? What else CAN they do? Boycott the grocery stores, fuel companies, clothing stores, and television stations that sing the praises of organized crime.

Of course, this is simply a hypothetical community, but, as the mathematicians would say, the point is to EXTRAPOLATE our story to our dying country (and make not mistake, it IS dying!) at large.

We need to "think big" here, because IF these folks, these consumers (these AWESOMELY powerful consumers), DID boycott the criminal businesses of these killers of decency, rationality, and the very Earth, it would very quickly (how shall we put it?) draw blood.

Corporate fascism (America's current government) may look fierce on the outside, but it has a very soft and vulnerable economic underbelly.

If MILLIONS of Americans boycotted, say, Wal-mart (that archetypal trash heap for American workers), and started now, right before Christmas, that corporation would find out at the speed of light that a new force is loose in America! And this force would have nothing to do with politics (that dem/pug outhouse in Washington). That's the beauty and the power of it, because this force would be the very heartbeat of Democracy at its best: POWER OF THE PEOPLE.

There are lots of other things we can do besides boycotts. Our magnificent constitution, for example, permits us to have ENORMOUS influence on the dynamics of our country via petitions and referendums. Now these are things we don't have to check out with our one party dem/pug system. We wouldn't have to talk to Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reed first. Ugh!

These are things we can do ALL BY OURSELVES as American citizens. Strikes are another, nationwide or otherwise.

It can't be said strongly enough that all these things are POWER OF THE PEOPLE THINGS. We don't have to "go though" establishment politics -- which means we don't need the support or approval of people who are grunting and slobbering at the reality (not fantasy!) hog trough created by the elites (with a millionth of their wealth).

Of course such activism could be both/and with doing everything possible to resurrect the FDR Democratic Party. Indeed, these two activisms would run parallel and be mutually constructive.

Successful, national boycotting would dramatically help liberalize the Democratic Party and VISA VERSA. What we're talking about now is all win/win.

OK, time to be personal. I see my role in this as a barking dog, trying to get the attention of my American brothers and sisters that BOYCOTTS CAN SAVE AMERICA AND SAVE THE EARTH. To me, this is an absolute certainty.

I wish I had the eloquence of Martin Luther King (God bless him!), but I'm going to have to settle for being one American patriot talking over the fence to his neighbors. If the passionate Dr. King were saying these things I know more people would listen, but at least I can bark.

May I try to sum all this up?

There are two or three things to get clear here. The first is these POWER OF THE PEOPLE strategies are basically "independent" of politics -- which is freeing almost beyond belief. These are things WE can do, all by ourselves as American citizens and voters. And also please note that these apolitical strategies and activisms are completely peaceful and legal.

Secondly, the tragic irony is that the single biggest enemy to nationwide boycotts is us! The temptation to discount boycotts as (1.) they've been tried before, and (2.) such small scale actions aren't going to change anything, is the kiss of death.

OF COURSE they've been done before but never before with the backing of the internet! You see, that's our trump card; that's the difference. With the internet, we can synchronize and orchestrate boycotts on a truly national scale (best of all INTERNATIONAL scale!). Will it be easy? Certainly not; it will be devilishly difficult to get this all pulled together, but at least we can see in outline what must be done.

We obviously need some kind of national centralizing agency. Perhaps a site where people can vote for the "top ten" targets, i.e., those corporations which are the most destructive to the Earth and Democracy.

Organization, here, is all, because without a VERY organized central agency, boycotts are moot. However, to think positive, WITH a very organized central agency (perhaps supported and promoted by some high profile and nationally respected individuals, e.g., Jimmy Carter?), the sky is the limit.

WE ARE THE CONSUMERS and fascist corporations need us much more than we need them! Indeed, we should think of this as the empowering "axiom" of this piece.

Clearly, "organized crime" in our pretend example equals the Bush/fascist/elites. But, you know what, these scum need our money! Duh. And if we don't GIVE them our money (e.g., stop buying gas from corporations raping and killing Mother Nature, stop Christmas shopping at anti labor stores, and refuse to buy products of companies advertising on fascist media sites, etc., etc.), they are going get hurt financially beyond their wildest dreams!

However, the point really isn't to "destroy" these corporations (however tempting that might be, assuming we could) so much as simply "get their attention". We need to prove to them that "fascism doesn't pay" and if they want to stay in the economic game, they better start taking Mother Nature and our Democratic Republic (beginning with the Constitution) about 300% more seriously.

So I guess this is my dream and I'm hoping Dr. King (and Gandhi too!) will be there for it spiritually.

Lastly, this dream needs all the nitty gritty technical, realpolitik expertise it can get, so this is also a cry for help! It’s suicidal for us to consider these matters “academically”, since the clock is running and Democracy and Earth are dying as we speak, so the time for nationwide boycott activism is NOW. Even two or three months from now may be too late, so internet brainstorming may be our salvation.

Politics, like biology, is evolving and progressives are at the cutting edge.

Establishment politics is an appendix that burst in the American body politic. The 2006 Democratic Congress may well be a tipping point in American social evolution. These DLC "Democrats" are indistinguishable from the most carnivorous fascist pugs. A very few exceptions prove the rule, but dems are cheek to jowl with the pugs at the hog trough provided by America's Dictatorship of the Rich for their obedient political puppets.

Nancy Peolsi and Harry Reed (our Democratic "leaders"?) have degenerated to swear words for the (no longer!) progressive/liberal base of the Democratic Party. "Go straight to Pelosi!" or "You're full of Reed!" may echo for the next hundred years.

The problem with stretching something "too far" is that it breaks. Duh. Eventually it breaks and that's exactly what happened to the Democratic Party when it was stretched into a veritable clone of the Republican Party by the beltway, Democratic "Leadership" (give us a break!) Committee. These soul selling James Carville types pushed Humpty Dumpty off the wall. The party's over. Man, is it over. And the DLC killed it (with a great deal of help from the openly anti-progressive Clintons).

I don't care if they still have offices and talk their elite sucking up talk, the party's over. Hey, James, don't you get it? You compromised too much. You kissed too many Republican you know what's. Your greed ate you alive. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS DEAD.

How could it be otherwise? A square is a square and a circle is a circle and if you change the circle into a square, it's no longer a circle; it's a square. If you change the Democratic Party into the Republican Party, it's no longer the Democratic Party; it's the Republican Party. Is this see spot run enough for you?

How could you DLC traitors and greed heads possibly think you could get away with such blatant political/spiritual betrayal? Jeez, are you stupid? Or, maybe that's not it; maybe you think Americans are stupid -- especially, liberals and progressives. Is that the deal? Do DLC dems think American progressives and liberals are retarded? Did you really think we would just "go along" with your immoral, irrational slaughter of what was left of the Democratic Party?

Well, it didn't work, did it? Progressives are actually a pretty bright bunch and we think the DLC is something that belongs in an outhouse. Get the idea? We think you're scum. You betrayed the liberal/progressive base of the Democratic Party infinitely; so, guess what, we're gone! You pigs are on your own (fewer progressives would probably vote for Hillary Clinton, than pugs!).

But how is this all going to play out? We have a party in which the base has limitless contempt for the establishment facade. The beltway dems are TOTALLY disconnected from what is now the single greatest political force in American politics: progressives and liberals.

This is not opinion. This is confirmed over and over again by political polls and the going ballistic of political activism of progressives on the net.

Political evolution is an apt turn of phrase here, because like biological evolution, it's intrinsically beyond the reach of smug predictability, which is EXACTLY where America is right now. Las Vegas can cook up whatever odds they want on political this or that, but the alchemy of this passionate liberal revolution from the establishment Democratic Party could go in a thousand different directions.

The 3rd Party thing seems highly improbable, plus we no longer have a 2 party system in America anyway. We have the dem/pug ONE party system and we have millions of frustrated progressives who are trapped in a political system dreamed up by the astronomically rich to make sure they STAY astronomically rich.

So, arguably the single most important political/social question now in America is what will the powerful liberals & progressives do, since the Carville/Clinton clowns have killed the establishment, elite-worshipping Democratic Party deader than dead?

What comes next? You tell me.

Politics is the will of the elites; not the will of the people.

Politics is evolving into a social dinosaur. It was invented by the Earth's elites delude the "masses" (their word for us) into thinking we have some (any!) input into the national/international policies of our government.

Yeah, right. Washington really is hanging onto our every word, aren't they? The dem/pug party (our one party political system) is wearing out their tongues licking the boots of the elites and/or the fascist thugs of the elites.

In other words, politics is a great success . . . but not for us (us, meaning 99+ percent of the human race).

So who are we? Well, we're not the elites, that's for sure, so just what is our role the social scheme of things. Remember the elites are a mere one percent of less of our country, so what's the story about all the rest of us?

That's easy. We're the money cows for the elites. Consumer cattle, that's us and we are kept in our pens by the cattle prods of the elite’s fascist thugs. So, Democrats and Republicans? What a joke. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumber.

But what about our constitutional rights? What about them? They've been shredded by the Bush/fascist/neocons. All part of the big cattle coral. Cattle with "rights"! Get serious. Cattle consume or they're sent to meat factories (like our cannon fodder children shipped to Bush's Oil Wars). Or they die with their boots on while working three jobs to pay taxes for the Bush/Cheney Oil Wars (also money cows). And oh yes, to fund munificent tax breaks to the elites. Yeah, tax breaks for the 1% and back breaks for the 99%.

But this is insane. Even a dog or cat would know it's insane. One percent are Gods & Goddesses and the other 99+ percent live like cattle. And what keeps all this social insanity in place? Politics, of course, which is exactly what it was designed to do and it's doing it with Democracy-killing and planet-killing success.

OK, time for radical social transformation. This transformation can and should be peaceful and legal, but we're not talking about tinkering and adjusting. Specifically, we're talking about BEDROCK changes in how the will of the majority is honored and expressed in human civilization. And that ain't politics!

Politics hasn't left liberals, moderates, and independents behind; it's exactly the opposite. WE HAVE LEFT POLITICS BEHIND.

Politics is the modus operandi that keeps alive the only distinction that now means anything on planet Earth: are you an elite, or are you a cow?

Well we're not elites and we have ZERO political/social representation, so we have only one option left (besides waiting to die) and that's to take the same intelligence, justice, courage, and realism our forefathers took to the creation of our noble (albeit now trashed) Constitution.

Ironically, the kiss of death is for folks to discount this option as meaningless, idealistic abstraction. In fact, to discount it thus is MUCH WORSE than pugs and fascists, because these cynics are the ultimate enablers of the elite/cow civilization.

So enablers please take a hike and leave the matter of creating radically new social forms to resurrect Democracy in human civilization to those of us who passionately feel it IS possible.

Where to begin? Nothing could be easier. We DON'T begin with the "Democratic Party", since the once upon a time Democratic Party has fundamentally ceased to exist. That time is over. Never again will we be able to morally and rationally commit to an elite boot licking Democratic Congress.

Now for some of you, all this is "being negative" and/or meaninglessly idealistic, but, hopefully, millions of Americans have got the point that WE MUST HAVE NEW SOCIAL FORMS TO EXPRESS THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. Traditional/establishment politics expresses the will of the elites, not us.

New social forms like what? Yes, here's the essence of the challenge. And here's where we have to keep a force field around this vision to protect it from cynicism and resignation. What's sadly frustrating is that the big picture of this is painfully simple. The world belongs to the elites, the fascists are thugs of the elites, and the Democratic Party has sold its soul to the elites. Ergo, it's 100% up to us to create new social forms to stay in the flow of civilization.

Thinking the Democratic Party is going to help us is exactly like the woman with an abusive husband clinging to the fantasy that "he will change" and all will be well. Well, abusive husbands virtually NEVER change and neither will the Democratic Party. It is surrounded by so many fail safes; we could never "liberalize it" in a hundred years. So, let's just kiss it off and give our best time and energy to things that DO hold the promise of peaceful and legal social revolution.

Nationwide, targeted boycotts of America-killing and Earth-killing corporations would be as good place to begin. If we had a high profile collection of individuals or institutions which supplied us with a list of, say, 10 circulating corporations to boycott, the civilization changing potential of such a "will of the people" strategy would be literally limitless.

Boycotts not only would work, they DO work and the HAVE worked, but for this to be a quantum jump change to a social form which would empower us to take our world back, it would have to be vastly and realistically organized. But, wouldn't it be worth the effort? After all, we're talking about an ALTERNATIVE SOCIAL FORM to the Democratic Party, so we've got to be willing to hang in there and fight the good fight to make it happen.

It can't be said strongly enough that we're talking about a social revolution. Yes, a legal and peaceful revolution, but, to say it straight out, we're talking about a social form that actually expresses the will of the people and the Democratic Party now only expresses the will of the elites.

The irony is that such radically new social forms (including national strikes and constitutionally mandated petitions and referendums) have little to worry about from the fascists and elites, since they will almost certainly make the same mistake they made with the internet, i.e., to not take it seriously until it was too late. EXACTLY the same thing will almost certainly apply to these radically new social forms.

And for those of you who are observing that most of these forms really aren't "new", of course you're correct. But that's not the point. Who cares if boycotts have been used before since it was always in a very token way?

However, what we are talking about now are massively orchestrated strategies to boycott nationally (and hopefully even internationally) in the MILLIONS. Just think about that. God in heaven, the power of such a social form would be unbelievable.

So the bad news is that the dem/pug one party system utterly belongs to the elites and this one percent of the human race has stolen our government and even the planet (both of which they are rapidly killing).

However the GOOD NEWS is that this left us so spinning in the wind that we are now creating quantum jump social changes (e.g., national/internal boycotts) to replace meaningless social forms like the Democratic Party.

Hey, Democratic Party, you know what? You can be replaced! And you know what else? We're already doing it . . . with limitless help from the internet.

So, my middle and lower class brothers and sisters, keep the faith. If we work together with new and consummated social strategies for social change, the elites will inevitably stop being elites and the Have Not cows will stand up like the human beings we truly are and claim our God and constitutionally given birthrights.

It's time to start the first Citizen's Congress

Does the following seem reasonable to you?

(1.) In the year 2000 we discovered to our horror that our country had been totally taken over by corporate fascism. This is a social/political Dictatorship of the Rich, basically identical to what Benito Mussolini had in Italy during WW2 and similar to the German Third Reich of Adolph Hitler.

(2.) This blind sided us beyond belief since many of us remember having conversations over the fence with our Republican neighbors or relatives, many of whom we constructively disagreed with; however, each of us was the "loyal opposition" to the other's political party because then America had a two party political system that at least marginally worked.

(3.) This was followed by stolen American elections in 2002 (mid terms) and the blatantly stolen presidential election in 2004. This isn't opinion since the international standard for stolen elections is a mathematical comparison between exit polls and recorded results and this test categorical proves that the year 2000, 2002, and 2004 elections were criminally stolen. Many states were also stolen by the Bush/fascists in 2006, but in spite of this, the Democratic Congress was reestablished in 2006 by a massive and expensive commitment of progressive Americans.

(4.) But then liberal Americans (i.e., the voters responsible for the 2006 Democratic "success") discovered to our furious disillusionment that this Democratic Congress is made up of wall to wall traitors and cowards. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed are virtual Republican moles and they dutifully bury any policies which have liberal/progressive values. The leading candidate of the DLC is the Hillary Clinton/Bush Doll who is a female clone of George W. Bush.

With a few tweaks, these 4 items exactly describe contemporary America. We lost a coup d'etat to fascists and religious fanatics who then stole election after election. We then turned to our "own" party, the Democratic Party, for help, but discovered that establishment politics is in reality a ONE party dem/pug system which slavishly answers ONLY to America's Dictatorship of the Rich -- also known as vampire elites who make up less than one percent of the entire American population (just as the international elites make up less than one percent of the entire human species).

Thus, the ultimate control center of America are astronomically rich people for whom political fascism is a "police force" to make sure the cattle (i.e., US!) stay in our pens.

An elaborately constructed scam of the elites is that we have a political system which at least to some degree (however small) offers the have not’s and middle and lower classes some political representation.

Alas, nothing could be further from the truth! Establishment politics is merely a bone the elites throw to us to gnaw on while we clean their commodes. It's tragically self evident that our country is a textbook Dictatorship of the Rich in which we have ZERO political representation. Sure, we can play the Duh "political game" that we have some (any!) input into the national and international policies of our country, but establishment politics is egregiously part of the problem, not the solution.

Saying it like it is, our country and planet are dying, literally dying, and the elites & fascists are in absolute control. Ironically, the neocon cabal doesn't even represent our country (and even barnyard animals know it!).

So, can it actually be possible that something constructive and hopeful is being catalyzed by these gargantuan atrocities?

The answer, miraculously, is a resounding YES!

Look, if the elites own our country (and planet) and the fascists belong to the elites and the Democratic Party belongs to the fascists, then where does that leave us?

It leaves us with zero political representation and reduces us to cattle consumers of the pig, pig rich. Indeed, our middle and lower classes are now basically servants of American Royalty.

We should also bear in mind that American Royalty (the vampire elites) comes in all political flavors. It's suicidally naive not to see that the Kennedy Royal Family and the Gore Royal Family are in the same elite Heart of Darkness with the Saudi's and Bush's. And the Clinton's are, to put it euphemistically, "social climbers". Granted, a few elites have a luxurious “social conscience”, but [being and elite with a social conscience] = [being an elite]. The issue is the Have and Have Not distinction; the issue is MONEY, not talking the talk political games which guarantee that elites stay elites – and guarantee that we stay commode-cleaning, cattle consumers.

All of which is simply more evidence of the absurd meaninglessness of politics. The ONLY distinction that is in touch with reality in America (and basically the world) is are you and elite or are you a cattle consumer? The odds are you do a lot of mooing since international elites are now and always have been a very tiny "country club" of literal Kings and Queens of planet Earth.

When your back is against the wall and all doors seem closed to you, it is put up or shut up time.

OK, here goes. May I be honest with you and acknowledge that what follows is (at least for now) a kind of "groping"? But the basic idea is very simple. Look at where we are. Look at our country. Look at our criminal lack of representation. Hey, this is a total despair place.

Or is it?

Maybe the truth is that we are in a kind of life/civilization "cusp" in which we have to "evolve" (use whatever word that works for you) into a different social/political dimension.

More specifically, maybe we are coming to the end (probably forever!) of traditional politics since traditional politics (e.g., the Democratic Party) has turned out to be our mortal enemy.

The point is, WE CAN'T FIX IT. That's the mantra.

Traditional/establishment politics is UNFIXABLE. Any why should we be surprised since it was invented in the first place to make sure pig, pig rich people STAY pig, pig rich people. The game is stacked and the dice are loaded. The Democratic Party may have meant something (not much!) once upon a time, but now it's like drinking ground glass to turn to the DLC for "help", since the moment an elected Democrat stops talking to us, he/she immediately turns around and returns to licking the boots of the elites. Establishment politics is made up of puppets (with VERY few exceptions) of Greek God like elites. They don't "represent" us, and it's become obscene to even think that. They are monkey/puppets of astronomically rich people AND THEY WILL STAY THAT WAY.

So, what about the hope talk? The hope talk is that we have to keep the faith and ferocious commitment that we can start a "Citizen's Congress."

Which means what? It means we have to turn to our own creativity, intelligence, and daring to find NEW ways to express the power of the people. The illusion is that politics has "left us behind" and we have to eat crumbs. The reality is that WE HAVE LEFT POLITICS BEHIND (my God, look at the polls!), and taking the cue from our genius Constitutional forefathers, we need to start another political/social Renaissance.

See, that's what we need. We need a political Renaissance. That sounds good, doesn't it? It's not that the game of traditional politics isn't working. To the contrary, it's working perfectly . . . but not for us. It's doing EXACTLY what it was created to do -- which is to keep pig, pig rich people pig, pig rich people.

So, time to leave the game! Time to find TOTALLY different ways to honor and express the will of the people.

And you know what, the will of the people of our country is NOT that 99+ percent of us should keep being cattle consumers while the Bush's, Gore's, Saudi's, Paris Hilton's, and Rupert Murdoch's live like literal Gods and Goddesses.

See, that is what's so crazy about this arrangement. It's set up AS IF the middle and lower classes just LOVE being have not’s. Gee, we just love it that an elite can spend more money in an afternoon on his/her health than any one of us spends on our children's health in a lifetime. Yeah, we think it’s great that elites have so bloody many cars that they don't even get around to driving them, or how wonderful it is that an air head heiress is actually seen as a role model by literally millions of pitifully "disadvantaged" children.

It would take a 900 page book to list the ways elites live in God like worlds compared to all the rest of us and to suggest that we actually "like" this arrangement is the ultimate adding insult to injury.

No, we don't "like" it; we bloody hate it and resent it beyond description. We're all God's children and our God given and Constitutional birthright is NOT TO LIVE LIKE CATTLE, which none of us should have to do since the wealth of the planet (especially if nurtured) is a cornucopia for us all. Those little straight lines separating the different colored states (and countries) mean NOTHING to Mother Nature and the biological human species. It's all paper pap to keep elites, elites.

So, back to square one. How can we create radically different social forms to honor the will of the people? We now know politics is ANTI will of the people. Well, we're the people, so let's create something entirely different.

Let's find legal, peaceful way to revolutionize EVERYTHING!

Wow, if you've read this much, you probably don't want to read much more, so may I end with a few alternative strategy suggestions to catalyze our new Citizen's Congress. We can work on these and others as we go along.

(1.) A circulating list of 10 or so national/international targeted boycotts. Remember, money is the God of this planet and such boycotts would be hitting the elites (and their fascist thugs) where they are the most vulnerable. Also please remember that the elites need us a thousand times more than we need them. Specifically, they need our MONEY.

(2.) Nationwide strikes.
