Starting the bloodless revolutions: run the banks.
"We don't pick up weapons to kill people to start the revolution. A revolution is really easy to do these days. What is the system? The system is built on the power of the banks. So it must be destroyed through the banks," he said. http://www.bankrun2010.com/ And http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/bank-run-corrupt-financial-system/?utm_source=Raw+Story+Daily+Update&utm_campaign=0a2e64fa87-November28Newsletter11_28_2010&utm_medium=email While the idea should be sound, the fact is that the banks *own* the governments now, so they'll just get new bailouts and big bonuses for the executive. If were were actually playing by the rules, the banks that impoded would be dead, and their corpses would be scavenged by others (leaving the burned consumers to either sit there awaiting an endless string of re-runs, or to work hard for appropriate legislation designed to prevent recurrences). But the "rules" went out the window in 1984 (Reagan)... Still, watching this should be amusing. //Alif -- "Never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty." Joseph Pulitzer, 1907 Speech
