Republican Guards join Yemen’s revolution

Two days after Yemen’s Republican Guards “punished” military members who joined the Yemeni protest,  the Republican Guards have joined the Revolution.

On Friday, May 13, President Ali Abdullah Saleh sent his Republican Guards to punish military personnel who joined Yemeni protesters.  On Sunday, May 15, video shows dozens of uniformed Republican Guards members demonstrating along side the protesters.

The current protests in Yemen are the biggest so far.

 

Iranian clerics warning of European style Erhal Revolutions

“The European nations will certainly rise up against their politicians and leaders who made them submit to the cultural and economic policies of the U.S. and the Zionists.”-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei

The West has been referring to the uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa as “popular uprisings”, but in locally they’re known as “Erhal” (Irhal).  Very loosely translated it means “throw the bums out!”.

For the past several days Iranian clerics have predicted that the Erhal movements will hit Europe.  It’s not because of religion, but because of social/economic injustice brought upon the common people by their own leaders.

One cleric predicts revolutions for all the world’s countries: “They (the revolutions) will slowly cross all boarders.”-Hojjatoleslam Kazzem Sediqi

Millions of French Continue Strike Against Government. Wake Up America!

For the forth day millions of French people are continuing a country wide strike against their own government.  Why?  Because their government wants to raise the retirement age from 60, to 62.

Private and public sector workers demonstrate over pension reforms in Marseille October 12, 2010. French trade unions began a fresh wave of strikes against pension reform on Tuesday, testing the resolve of French government as the unpopular bill edges closer to becoming law. Rail services, flights and sea ports ran below capacity as the unions kept up their battle against a plan to make people work longer for their pensions, including raising the minimum retirement age to 62 from 60.

Millions of French workers striking over a two year increase in retirement, while Americans continue to take it in the rear with taxpayer bailouts of banks that screwed over the financial industry, banks that are screwing over homeowners with a foreclosure fiasco, a Federal government that is screwing over its citizens in favor of corporations, and state governments that are cutting budgets to the bone because no one seemed to see the coming economic collapse.  Hello!

People, the United States of America was founded by Revolution.  That Revolution inspired other famous revolutions, like the French Revolution.  The French obviously have no problem continuing that tradition.  But what happened to the birth place of modern citizen revolt, called, the United States?  Many of the founders of the United States stressed the importance of periodic Revolution by the people in order to keep government in check.  Yet, it is considered un-American to talk about Revolution.  That is a sure sign that our country has been high jacked, and is being run by people who have no intentions of doing what is right by the People.

Maybe it’s because the People have become too dependent on their governments to solve everything. The proof of that is the election of Barak Obama, because the People hoped he would bring change from the top down.  But here’s what Obama said, several different times: In 2008 “Real change comes from the bottom up, not the top down.” (goqnotes.com), and again in 2010, “Real change comes from the bottom up, and that is why we are here.” (c4ss.org).  Comedian Jay Leno has even questioned Obama’s running for President because of these statements.  After all, if real change comes from the bottom, why did Obama run on the Hope of bringing Change to the United States?  Because the People are lazy, or fearful, and Hope that the government will do it for them. Another way to take Obama’s ‘change comes from the bottom’ statements, is that he is subtly telling us that we, the People, are the ones who need to take action, to Revolution.

Or maybe it’s because, despite increasing school budgets year after year, since I finished high school in 1982, the quality of our grade school education has dropped like a rock. Americans are dumbed down. A prime example of our failing education system, both public and private, is the wacko political candidate named Christine O’Donnell.  In a recent debate she stated that we were in Afghanistan to “…finish the job…” against the Soviet Union (www.youtube.com).  What?  I thought it was to get Osama bin Laden because of September 11th, 2001?  She also said we were in Afghanistan in the “…80s and 90s…”.  Nooo, I don’t think so, not officially anyway.  We supported Afghans (Afghans that we are now fighting) in their fight against the Soviets, which ended in 1989.  Also, the Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1991.  There is an old saying: Stupid is as stupid does. (Maybe she really is a witch because her supporters seem to be under a spell)

Or maybe it’s because our government is actually spending our taxpayer dollars to spy on those of us who do stand up and challenge the system. Yes, the state of Pennsylvania revealed that they hired a company, co-owned by Israelis, to spy on activists.  They spent 103,000 taxpayer dollars to do so.  It was part of a Homeland Security operation.  The result?  Pennsylvania Bureau of Criminal Investigations chief, George Bivens, said the Israeli-American company’s spy report on the activists “…is unsubstantiated gossip.” (english.aljazeera.net).  So they just took the taxpayer money and ran?

People of the United States, we can not afford to act like the proverbial frog in a pot of water, that is slowly heated until it’s too late to escape, and we are boiled alive.  Wake up!
