Midterm Election Further Demonstrates Need for Revolution

The Obama referendum came in and he got what he deserved. When you run on change and leave the same criminals in positions of power and don’t hold anyone accountable for obvious crimes, and allow them to continue to commit those crimes, you deserve to lose your power. This is what happens when you put Tim Geithner and Larry Summers in charge of the economy, and support Ben Bernanke for reconfirmation as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. This is what happens when you keep Robert Gates as your Secretary of Defense and General Petraeus in charge of your wars. This is what happens when you lie to protect the interests of BP over the American people. This is what happens when you bailout Wall Street and the health care industry and sell out everyone else. This is what happens when your rhetoric is the opposite of your actions. The past two years have clearly exposed Obama as a spineless corporate puppet and he deserves to be voted out in 2012.
Now, don’t get me wrong, most of the people who were just voted into office are just as bad, if not worse, as hard as that is to believe. This election marks the third straight time that the American public dramatically voted out the people who were in power. The fact of the matter is that these people are not voting for politicians that they like as much as they are voting against politicians they hate. Hopefully by 2012 the American public will finally understand that they must support Independent candidates and alternative political structures, and cannot vote for Democrats or Republicans, if they ever want to achieve the needed change. Both parties serve the same corporate masters. Yes, there are some differences between the two. The Democrats serve half of the top economic one percent, and the Republicans serve the other half. We have Neo-liberals to the left and Neo-cons to the right, leaving 99% of us without representation.

Political Solutions Are Hard to Come By in the Matrix
Activist Post
Obviously it is important for the recently awakened Human Tribe (Truth and Liberty movement) to discuss and analyze the faults of the corporate-government system in order to determine solutions. However, it seems as though even the group the mainstream views as radical is still trying to affect change within the same corrupt system. These pragmatists are still operating by rules of the system that have been written by the controllers for the sole purpose of supporting their agenda.
There are many in the Tribe with great ideas, such as returning to the sanctity of the Constitution, thus limiting government control. This would indeed restore certain personal liberties and local controls, but the corporate controllers seem to have their claws into all aspects of Federal and local governments. So the notion that it is feasible to have a strict return to the Constitution is slim at best.
Consequently, we must begin to question the solidity of the Constitution itself if the document hasn't prevented the complete mutation of what America was meant to be -- a new land with equality and freedom for all. It hasn't prevented corporations from forming monopolistic cartels with the power to control entire industries and buy politicians (and judges). It hasn't prevented a private central bank from being formed with unprecedented power over the global economy. It hasn't prevented our leaders from taking our country to unnecessary and unjust wars, against the will of the people and common human decency. It did not prevent the "checks and balances" from falling to the agenda of the robber barons. And, finally, it has failed in protecting the individual rights of the citizens, which arguably is the sole purpose of the Bill of Rights.
Yes, the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights are still the most brilliant documents in history to define a fair and just government. However, after centuries of perversion by court interpretations and rulings, and millions of liberty-smashing laws and statutes which allowed the rise of our Ponzi economy built by private counterfeiters and consolidated by anti-competition cartels, we must now question the power of the Constitution to address such shortcomings. Incidentally, returning to the strict interpretation of the Constitution would undo the centuries of precedents in the court and alter the public's perception of reality so dramatically that it is unlikely to happen.
Many of us in the movement to restore human freedom have formed or joined political action groups in hopes of changing unjust aspects of the system. All of these deeds should be commended and supported. However, we must remain mindful that the whole as it pertains to the system is greater than the some of its parts. In other words, the system and its controllers are more powerful than the individual parts of the system. They have full control of the elected officials no matter which branch they serve: the courts, the regulatory agencies, the economy, the war machine, and the media propaganda machine.
Furthermore, when we achieve small political victories they can take decades to implement, and ultimately they become hijacked or corrupted in the end. The most glaring example is the Audit The Fed measure that was passed in the absurd financial "reform" bill. Ron Paul, who is courageously doing his best to affect change within the system, originally proposed auditing the Federal Reserve three decades ago. And when it finally was passed into law, it had no teeth left due to the utter corruption of the system. It is important to note that this highly contested piece of legislation does nothing to change or halt the actual practices or structure of the Fed. It only allows the Congress a one-time peek behind the curtain at what will surely be a well-orchestrated puppet show with a fictional script called "Cook the Books."
Granted, promoting the Audit the Fed bill, like other causes in the Liberty Movement, can lead to a new levels of awareness among the public. Ultimately, humanity will only achieve victory when enough people can see the true nature of the system's prison. So in that sense, these measures do serve a vital role to the movement. However, we must realize that this watered-down political victory will do nothing to fundamentally change the system.
It seems that in order to truly affect change we must first, as individuals, resist aspects of the system through non-cooperation. In other words, we must do as Gandhi said and we must "Be the change we wish to see in the world." It is living the change on a mass scale that will create the new level of consciousness needed to solve the problems created by our corrupt corporate-government.

'Change' Elections in Turbulent Times
Real Clear Politics
Change. Change. Change.
A demand for change propelled Democrats to power in Congress in 2006, and then put Barack Obama in the White House two years later. Either the change wasn't what a restive public wanted or it didn't come fast enough. Now voters are looking toward a Republican change.
"2008 wasn't the end goal. It was to keep building a movement for change," Obama said near the finish of a turbulent campaign, pleading for a surly electorate to give his Democrats more time to put in place their version of change.
He's counting on voters still seeing Democrats as change agents even though they are in power — and liking the type of change he and his party have delivered in his first two years.
Huge assumptions.
Yes, Obama and his Democrats stabilized the economy. But their solution was to pump huge sums of money into it as people fretted about all the government borrowing and federal debt burden stacked on their children and grandchildren. The unemployment rate rose; it's stuck near 10 percent. Foreclosures and bankruptcies continued.
Yes, they passed a health care overhaul to remake a patchwork and costly system. But the public was divided over it and cringed at how the White House and Democrats pushed it through Congress. Deals with special interests. Virtually no Republican support. Why now? asked people crying out for jobs and losing their homes.
Yes, they reined in Wall Street with new rules for big financial institutions whose instability is blamed for the recession. But Main Street still feels left out, ignoring tax cuts they got under Obama and focusing on bailouts that went to banks, an insurance company and automakers. People questioned whether government was getting too intrusive.
Bipartisanship and compromise? A different approach to governing? A more civil Washington? Not so much.
Says Obama: "Delivering change isn't easy."
Certainly, Republicans who opposed Obama and his Democrats at every turn bear some responsibility. But Democrats are the party in power and, therefore, likely to carry more of the blame come Tuesday.
