The Revolt of the Asses

Why is the land of the free and home of the brave not resisting as their being stripped naked by the most criminal elite to ever take hold of any government in history? Obviously, a number of things can explain this phenomenon. One is that the American population has invested such a great deal of interest in the Obama administration that they're on a wait-and-see basis. Another thing to remember is the lack of political organizing in the past decades. Lets remember that the only time Americans collectively organize is during electoral campaigns. Across the Atlantic there is far more public anger. The situation in France is so totally different that one has to reflect back on 1968 as the most pivotal year for the two nations in modern history. In one nation, the people effectively amassed their political rights, showcasing them in many concrete examples of collective resistance. In the other nation the people's social and political leaders were brutally assassinated and they haven't recovered since. Many years later, France's tradition and experience of rebellion is serving them well while America is struggling to find its voice. The French are marching in the streets and making demands while Americans who live in a country build on revolution are sitting on their asses.

The good sign is that there is frustration over the lack of political will amongst the masses in America and many individuals continue to express their puzzlement at the political reality. Max Keiser is clearly one of those individuals, he is serving as the global revolutionary agitator. Here is how he concluded his most recent artice:

Thomas Jefferson would be turning over in his grave if he saw that many of his predictions of a banking oligarchy had not only come true but that the population had remained so impotent, scared and silent in the face of it.

But the population is not always impotent, scared and silent, not when a food company falsely advertises a chicken special. They no longer accept the falsely advertised product, they become rightfully indignant and even shout back. If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch the videos below:





Those people have a right to be angry because they were lied to, a company falsely advertised a product and they did not deliver. Food is the most important thing in human society and this is one clear example of it but let's carry the principle of truth in labeling to the field of politics. Obama advertised himself as a pro-peace candidate who would safeguard civil liberties as president and bring fundamental changes to Washington. But has he delivered? No. Have people shouted back at him? No, at least not by the people who were the targets of the advertising campaign.

I don't want to sound like a pessimist but it seems more and more likely that the second American revolution will only happen once the country runs out of food. For a country running on fast food, its food supply can dwindle just as fast. And that is not a joke. Food is the only thing that entices the American population, mainly the quantity and price of it. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, the food system is highly sensitive to a potential flu virus in its factory farms and a few emergencies can cause the supermarkets to run out of chicken, eggs, bread, and everything else in a very short while. Since less than 5% of the population are farmers, most will struggle to find food. It is not a stretch to imagine a starving population looting government buildings, even military ones, for stockpiles of food. Homeland security be damned, the population needs food security.

The availability of food will trigger the second American revolution. Bet on it. But as long as the government feeds the population they don't have to worry about an uprising anytime soon.

Memo to the White House: bailout Popeyes and make sure they don't fuck up like this ever again. Trust me, you're rule depends on it.
