Let Justice Flow ......

21. What an excellent post, Zorra. I wanted to highlight a few things, but people

should read ALL OF IT.

I see organizing and engaging in a massive general strike and boycott,

Yes! Don't buy their stuff. Starve the Beast. Cut off their source of power.


This however echoes my own thoughts so clearly, about street protests giving them the power to beat people literally over the head, imprison them, send out their military, I mean 'police' with their military toys to show off, and they get OVERTIME also.

When I was participating in Occupy actions, it occurred to me that the major flaw in sustaining our action was exposing ourselves to police brutality, and that eventually this brutality would force us out of the parks and off the streets. And naturally, it did. it's not rocket science, there simply are not enough people in the US who are willing to risk getting beaten up and imprisoned to support and sustain a non-violent movement that is countered by authorities who can commit acts of violence against protesters with impunity.

We tried to shut down the ports on the west coast, but by that time the media had perfected its propaganda attack brainwashing of the general public, and they successfully turned public opinion against us at this time. Here at DU, the mouthpieces for the status quo were busy denouncing us, in every way possible, day after day. This is something we will have to deal with if we organize, and act.

However, if we are simply staying home and shut down the talking heads, taking some extended family holiday time as a form of protest and non-violent resistance, it would be quite a while before the 1% owned government mandated that the police could legally force us out of our homes and go back to work. By the time they got to that point, terminal damage would already be done to the system.

YES!! Deny them the opportunity to earn their overtime and to show off their military toys.

Way more effective is to cut off the source of their power, without any risk at all.

I'm sure after a while, they will find a way to invade people in their homes, they've already eliminated the 4th Amendment, but it won't matter if their money stops flowing.

So a huge campaign to boycott their garbate, we don't need any of it.

I can picture a huge demonstration at some point where everyone BURNS THEIR CREDIT CARDS. Sort of like burning draft cards.

Great post, it should be an OP.
