This is Joe Stack’s suicide letter he wrote before he crashed a plane into the IRS building in Austin,TX . He wrote this to the United States Government and sent his message out online today to spread his message of revolt. Joe Stack 1956-2010

When I found out about this I immediately went over to mainstream news outlets, and sure enough what I predicted was true. They of course butchered his whole message and only brought to surface the negative tone in his letter. I scrolled down on numerous websites where there would be an abundance of reaction comments, and it was alarming and sad to me. The people who agreed with his message and what he did seemed to be beating around the bush, why? Because they were scared shitless, they thought in their head before they typed out their opinion, “well, old big brother could see this and boom I would be instant target.” So, the people who agreed with him are nervous to come out and say it, like Eric did above. On the other side of the comments, I kept browsing through these bullshit comments stating that he was mentally-ill and confused, a sellout, a disgrace to our country. I will gladly throw my support behind Mr. Stack. Thankfully, no one was killed in his crash, which would have been terrible.

I think it was destiny and fait from his end that no innocent citizens were killed in the office. He didn’t do this act for fame or money, he did this to spark a flame underneath the American people. That was the whole point of his rapping and ranting, it wasn’t to just pinpoint the IRS. The message was geared towards the Unites States Government and Corporate America in general. You can see if he read it in its entirety that he loved his country and was a proud American, but that drastically shifted in the past years because he finally realized that he is on the out and the elitists are in! After awhile you can only take so much, he had his political blog, he would write his blurbs and opinions, but who the heck is going to listen? Nowadays the internet is so over-saturated with so many different voices shouting their opinions, which is a fabulous thing! dont get me wrong on that, but my point is that he took direct violent action because he knew that writing on his blog daily will not do justice for what he believes in.

His mission is accomplished, here we are, what are we doing? We are debating, discussing, and thinking about his letter and his action. That is what he intended to do. To spark some action. The revolution is a comin’, it has been a long time comin’. It is time to throw out the bums that run corporate america. Hey, guess what? Ya! You! I am done bailing your ass out. If you fail you fail.

None of us have much long to live so we best get on with it. The leering grotesque symbols of fear, greed, addiction, and overall negativity keep us away from letting go and surrendering ourselves to a higher energy that we are all apart of. We tend to forget how powerful our minds and consciousness truly are. Surrender to Love! Always remember that your thoughts within become the swirling world around you. Spirit uplifts matter. We are suffocated with advertisements on our televisions, billboards, newspapers and magazines that tell us we are not good enough. They make us feel less than we really are in every possible aspect. Purchase this to look this way, the magazine ads yell! We are constantly living in fear with every step we take on our streets. Who is going to get me? Walk quickly and with your head down and you will be home in a split, the little voice inside suggests. Enough is enough of this negative attitude. I believe the main attribute to this illness we now have across our world is that we never question political pundits and the mainstream media outlets. We come home from our jobs and busy days and flip on the tube. This routine act feels right, a sense of comfort surrounds us. And, here we are watching the figure on the other side in some suite in New York or LA informing us what we should be scared about, what we should fear. It is time to think for ourselves!

I came across this on my late night reading and video watching and thought you would all enjoy it and take a piece from it!

Watch the video below:

I am worried about the future of this country. No, worried is the wrong word, frightened of what could and most likely will happen if we continue down this path. It is going to catch the majority by surprise. The people that care about this country most, like you and I, will have been expecting it all along. And there is nothing we can do, because we are not the majority, we are not part of the elite system. We have to watch it happen while everyone else that is dazed by the media wont know what to do.

People are going to start getting desperate and angry. That is what will come first, normal ppl who never committed crime in the past, who never even contemplated doing this acts, all of a sudden resort to it. Why? Because they have zero options. No job, nowhere and no one to help them.

It is inevitable that the whole system is going to come crashing down. It already is as I type each key on the laptop. The whole house of cards will fall and the grand illusion of it all will finally be thrown wet and naked on the stage for all to see… they played a trick on us and we were too apathetic and ignorant to realize it all along. Get ready for mass chaos and desperate times for America. When the unemployment rates continues to gain bodies, and the unemployment checks run dry, what do you think is going to happen? Think about it.

30 Frames a Second: The WTO in Seattle, Washington

1999
The Corporations and Millionaires decided on the location of Seattle, Washington. The World Trade Organization made its way towards the convention and the delegates were met by a sea of protestors that had gathered all week-long to demonstrate their dissatisfaction of the WTO practices. While I was viewing the documentary I became increasingly infuriated with the image clips of gas mask police officers beating innocent citizens to the gravel of the streets with clubs. The police peppered the rainy streets of Seattle with tear gas. The demonstrators were handcuffed and dragged down the street into police wagons. I was thoroughly disgusted with the actions that were taken upon the protestors of this country. It has been 11 years now since the WTO demonstration, and that is the last time a group of thousands of citizens gathered together to fight for what they believe in. Power to the people, power! The people’s power! Stronger by the hour the coalition moved forward. Think of this, with the force of numbers behind a movement, it real quickly can turn into a political reality that can be translated into legislative action. I don’t know exactly how the revolution and movement will come together here in this country, but it is vital to save what is left of this country, what is good anyways.

Google leaving China. And I applaud them for their decision. More American companies should do the same and come home.

China’s role in the internet market is greatly underestimated, it is little known that 338 million people are active online users. The powerhouse internet search engine Google created its China-based Google.cn website 4 years ago in 2006, following to the laws of censoring search results by banning sites to which access was blocked by government filters, popularly known as communism, as I like to say.

As of recent Google reports it would stop censoring search results on Google.cn. This would allow users to find political websites abroad. China, of course is having a fit with this decision. How horrible it must be to live in a closed box of information. A government that controls what is published and what you can and cannot read and analyze. I mean who would ever want the truth? Sorry, but that is a joke. Where do you get off telling what your citizens of your country can and cannot read or write in their own personal time.

Nice to know Goldman Sachs reported record earnings. Oh yeah , and 16 billion was shoveled out in Christmas bonuses to their top management.Oh yeah and they gave $800,0000 to Obama and $200,000 to McCain in campaign contributions. Nice to know that our tax dollars for the bailout went to the appropriate sectors. The bank in 2009 earned a profit of $13.4 billion on revenue of $45.2 billion, and 4th quarter earnings of $8.20/share, beating estimates of $5.20/share. The citizens here in this country are so apathetic and zoned out. You think there would be mass citizens outside the doors protesting and demanding for answers, but of course a measly group of 10 protestors showed up at the doors once they heard news. These companies and politicians are not being held accountable for their actions. With such little anger and little to none as far as action goes they will only continue to bankrupt this country into a rut we will never be able to overcome. 13 trillion dollars in debt, borrowing our way out of childish mistakes of the checkbook. When is this ever going to stop? 20 trillion? 60 trillion? Then what? No one will have faith in our country and the whole economic fog mirrors we have been displaying will be finally shown for what a scam it really is. Business as usual.

“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” –MLK Jr.

Indeed it is. Our elected officials believe it is more important to put our hard earned money into National Defense programs and anti-terrorist agendas. It is fear mongering at its finest. We are burying ourselves into debt year after year because of the fear that could happen. The key word is “could” in the previous statement. I think we could definitely cut the amount spent and funnel it other directions. Wouldn’t you agree?

The health-care issue is covering up all other problems in our country. I guess there was no point of the debates. Obama’s whole legacy will be remembered by the health care battles that have been going on since day one and will continue on and on and on some more. It is too bad that none of the other issues of proportion will ever be resolved. The Republican Party definitely has some ammo to throw towards the opposition with state elections coming up. Nothing has been done of any noteworthy accomplishment. Many thought we were going to see real change with Barack, but it has been a dismal let down for everyone besides pundits like Beck and Limbaugh, they love every moment when our own President looks bad……How do you even call yourself American?

I never understood why the conservative party is against gay rights so heavily. I hear people stating their case to support the red party, and they always state that they do not like “BIG Government” in their individual lives.

Is that not what we all want? Why would anyone want their government telling them what they can and cannot do every waking moment of their existence? I can’t stand when Republican supporters say that as their defining argument. Anyways back to my original opening thought about rights for the LGBT community. If you are part of the conservative party then why do you care if a couple wants to have first class rights? Why should they be looked at as second rate citizens under your system? After all, I thought you didn’t want others telling you what you can and cannot do, right?

Some people are different than you……..get over it already!

Does anyone wonder how much power our president really has? He probably doesn’t have much at all. The party itself, special interest groups, and lobbyist ultimately factor in on decisions made everyday. So, Obama shows up in front of the camera and smiles. While in the meantime his fellow colleagues watch carefully in the backroom with their hands crunched together hoping it goes smoothly. After he reads his elaborate speech that was written by someone else days before, the media pundits address their loud opinions to us viewers. I think I would prefer people to stop bashing Obama and put blame where it belongs, the party itself. It wasn’t Bush and it isn’t Obama. We need to force the parties to own up to their own mistakes and miscalculations.
