WE ARE THE PEOPLE!

Want things to change...try these suggestions !!

Right on !!! It isn't "power to the people" - the people ALREADY HAVE THE POWER (IN NUMBERS) - THEY JUST NEED TO EXERT IT! It's like this: if ONE person stops going to movies, for an example, it has little effect. IF EVERYONE stopped going - HOLLYWOOD would come to an end. THAT is the power of the people. IF ONE person stops shopping at BIG box stores, like Walmart - it would have no effect. IF EVERYONE stopped - WALMARTS WOULD CLOSE. THAT is the power we have. Each individual can make such choices for him or herself - and, together - we can all make a huge difference, in the direction of this country. WATCH VERY CAREFULLY WHAT YOU DEVOTE YOUR TIME, MONEY AND ATTENTION TO.

There are many small steps, we can all take, individually, to begin to change the direction of this country:
1) Turn off the t.v.,
2) obviously: Think for yourself,
3) Question "Authority",
4) Get out/Stay out, of DEBT,
5) Use cash, as much as possible, instead of credit or even debit cards,
6) Do not use customer "loyalty" cards, or discount cards,
7) Bank at a local credit union!,
8) Exercise your natural, God-given RIGHTS, while you still can! You have the RIGHT, to own a FIREARM, to protect yourself and your family - READ THE 2ND AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION!,
9) Buy used, especially used music cds, or movies, but also by buying used, rather than new, the money stays local and/or, in the U.S.,
10) Buy products made in U.S.A.!,
11) INVEST IN PRECIOUS METALS, especially SILVER (or gold) physical bullion (coins, bars), and take possession - have it shipped directly to you,
12) Buy organically-grown food.

Below is advice from John Perkins' book, entitled THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE (The Truth About Economic Hit Men, Jackals, And How To Change The World), pp. 322-329: Quote:

"AVOID SHOPPING AS 'RETAIL THERAPY'
(Instead, jog, meditate, read, or find some other solution).
SHOP CONSCIOUSLY - if there is something you must have, purchase items whose packaging, ingredients, and methods of production are sustainable and support life.
MAKE EVERYTHING YOU OWN LAST AS LONG AS POSSIBLE PURCHASE AT CONSIGNMENT AND THRIFT STORES - where everything is recycled [used].
Write letters telling Monsanto, De Beers, ExxonMobil, Adidas, Ford, GE, Coca-Cola, WALMART, and other labor exploiters and environment destroyers why you REFUSE to purchase from them.
CUT BACK ON OIL AND GAS CONSUMPTION!
DOWNSIZE (your car, home, wardrobe) - everything in your life (and don't buy what you don't need)
SUPPORT/SEND MONEY only to non-profits, radio stations, and other organizations that promote JUST causes.
VOLUNTEER your time and energy to such organizations.
SUPPORT LOCAL MERCHANTS [Especially stores which sell organically-grown food]!
ENCOURAGE stores to buy from local growers, producers, and suppliers.
Shop at your LOCAL FARMERS' MARKET
AVOID DRINKING WATER THAT IS FLUORIDATED (only your toothpaste should have non-industrial fluoride)
INSIST that those who use your money - banks, pensions, mutual
funds, companies - make socially and environmentally responsible
investments."

13) Research every company whose products or services you buy,
14) Research every organization to which you donate your money,
15) VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLARS!
16) Watch FREEDOM TO FASCISM, a film by Aaron Russo; Also - ENDGAME, a film by Alex Jones
17) Expand this list, and share it with everyone you know...

This is the correct strategy. We, the People, must become more self-reliant, and by doing so, we become FAR LESS dependent upon government - for anything. IF we work on ourselves, to become more self-reliant, and work together, via barter, trade, buying local, buying organic, buying used, etc - it effectively cuts off those we don't really need anyway - ESPECIALLY at the Federal level.

There are more of us than there are of them....we can win.

The problem is the majority of citizens are either apathetic in regards to what is going on, or brainwashed into thinking that the ones standing up are the "bad guys."

Until the majority of "sheeple," as some like to call, them wake up, there can be no uprising of the people. :roll:

Sounds good in theory, but most people are too stupid to act, or too "comfortable" to change.

Spot on poooooot. I have to mirror this thought. I constantly try to explain to my kids about getting their own real lives.

I explain how its all bull and how they are being dumbed down.

They listen and understand but then carry on doing as they were..

Same as the rest of society... Wish i knew what the answer was, i really do.

More and more people are waking up or we would not have the protests we are having. What is happening in the world is waking them up. Don't continue to stay in the past with the "sheeple" attitude... start to have faith in your fellow humans, wish them better, { only love prevails} and things will begin to change. Be the change you want and you will change your own life and surroundings and they will see and ask.....BE POSITIVE instead of giving them excuses by staying in the old paradigm. There will be those that willl never wake up, because that is what they chose, but there are those that just need that jolt to get started and you maybe that jolt.

Another good post dude :flop:

but sadly i am starting to feel the, should we say'undesired' end to our civilisation will only be brought about by the awakening of the masses-thus leaving big brother no choice but to put into place its plan B (apocolypse).
:think:

If they dont get 1984/THX well they gonna turn to the 'prophecies' aint they now?

Absolutely, if you try to force some one to wake up you will get a negative reaction.
All you can do is gently nudge them and wait
