What to do...

What is there to do...the nation i was raised to know and love has been shown to be something quite different from what I imagined it in my youth. The pride that I felt when I'd stand in class, hand over heart and recite the pledge, or when I raised the same hand and swore an oath of enlistment in the Army, that pride has been replaced by a deep sorry, a deep anger, a feeling of impotence and futility.
Men with wealth and greed took my America. They took her land, her resources, her commerce and her communication, they took her schools and her political leaders and her lawmakers. They took her Religious leaders and they tried many times to take her military leadership, and have mostly succeeded.

As an individual I can raise up and shake my fist and wail at the injustice until they come and put me in their jail for being an anarchist, or I can try and assemble a cadre of like minded individuals and be labeled an extremist, accused of sedition and jailed until they get tired of feeding me. Is it sedition to try and over throw a government that overthrew your real Government? Is is treason to call for revolution in a country that was born in revolution and made certain that the citizens retained the guns it would need to occasionally retake their country from enemies both foreign and domestic?

The message is simple enough, retake the American Dream from those that corrupted it. The actuality is that they used the freedom to buy and control provided by the constitution to buy and control America. There were without doubt corruptions, killings, lives destroyed and fortunes stolen by these persons. Their wealth has always been in control, control of the shipping and opium trades, control of the Railroads and Mines and Mills, control of the Banks and Schools and Wars and Prisons.

When they control every resource that could be used to bring them down...what is there to do?
