Re: "If you have any suggestions on how this can begin, on a small scale or otherwise (and until we get millions of dollars, it will have to be a small scale), I (and Chaim) are all ears. "
>> If you want to stage a successful revolt, regardless of your political position, then the only way you can possibly succeed is to thoroughly study the revolts of recent history which actually did succeed. <<
And, you are wasting your time, and have no chance whatsoever at succeeding, until and unless you understand the following facts:
- Contrary to the views of some who refuse to accept it; there are "unseen powers" behind the throne (examples: international brokers and bankers, military industrialists, oil industrialists, and major corporations), which "call all the shots" and control the visible heads of state "elected" to western governments.
Obama, Netanyahu, and all the rest we see and hear from daily are merely puppets on a string who follow orders from higher powers in exchange for being allowed the privelages and perquisites of executive power.
- In addition, the major media networks of the world are also controlled by these very same money interests mentioned above.
Sometimes they merely report daily events, but they are always at the ready to print on command the "storyline" handed to them by their government intelligence agencies and other power brokers:
These "storylines" create public acceptance and agreement with government policies, and influence the average man and woman in the streets to accept one or another point of view.
- Therefore: HE WHO CONTROLS THE NATION'S MEDIA AS WELL AS CONTROLS THE NATION'S CURRENCY IS THE ACTUAL MAKER OF FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC POLICY FOR THAT COUNTRY.
- Result: Your vote is a mostly meaningless gesture allowing you to believe that "your vote counts", "the people have spoken", "change has come", etc. so that all will go back to work, pay taxes to support the bums who won the election, and then you remain free to grumble and complain again about how "nothing ever really changes" until the next election when you delude yourself into believing that "we'll throw these bums out and replace them with ...".
- What this actually means:
- It is possible to stage a successful revolt, but only if you are either a) able to secure the backing of the money powers behind the throne, or b) willing to kill the money powers behind the throne and replace them with your own.
- And either way, without full and total control of the media of a nation, your revolt is doomed at the start to be unraveled and undone before it has even had a chance to succeed.
Therefore:
Such demonstrations of discontent as "protests", letter writing campaigns to your elected representatives, and boycotts, are all just huge jokes to those who actually control countries, and these masters guffaw out loud at how childish and easily duped most people seem to be.
Your true masters are actually delighted when they see that their peons actually believe that their protests and "grass roots activism" have the power to change the policies of their leadership.
This is because as long as the "little people" believe they can affect change, the more they prove that they're blind to the real source of their problems needing to be addressed.
And I reiterate: That "real source of power" are a) those who control the nation's currency and b) those who control the nation's media - those whom "the people" do not believe to exist.
Case in point: The Iranian Revolution.
===============================
- Iranians did not by themselves stage a popular revolt and overthrow their Shah.
It was the Western powers in collusion with each other which aided, assisted and saw to it that America's and Israel's ally was forced into exile and replaced with the Ayatollah Khomeini.
And where was Ayatollah Khomeini during the period leading up to and during this "popular revolt" ?
Answer: He had left Iran, having been exiled for treason, and was living in Paris, France, as the "guest" of the French Government, and under the full protection of the French Government.
Leading up to and throughout this entire fiasco, the Western media day and night broadcast propaganda condemning the Shah as a murderer, a tyrant, a "devil", a torturer, a dictator, and denounced the Shah's westernization and modernization of Iran.
CBS, ABC, and NBC were all praising and glorifying the Ayatollah Khomeini, supported Iran's "popular revolution", and welcoming "the man of G-d's" plan for an "Islamic Republic of Iran"!
Barbara Walters and the other media talking heads fought with each other to be first in telling the American people that "The Shi'ia aren't like the other Muslims!" - "The ayatollahs are liberal and will create a beautiful democracy!"
It was President Jimmy Carter who then publicly called for the Shah to step down, demanded the Royal Family be exiled to Egypt, and called for the "gentle, peace-loving, holy man" - The Ayatollah Khomeini - "the peoples' democratic choice" - be flown first class back to Teheran to a "Hero's Welcome".
