So long as the ruling class can finance their militarized police, private intelligence groups and lawmakers in the halls of congress, we can never free ourselves from their grip. Ultimately they will label our quest for justice as "terrorism" (like they've labeled all other freedom seeking movements and persons, including the founding fathers who they hunted down as terrorists).
When the ruling class has stolen every thing they can from us and activates the apathetic still left among us, and there is a collective uprising of all the people, the ruling class will imprison and kill vast numbers of us "terrorists" long before they would ever consider giving up power.
This is the historic truth of revolutions such as the one we're engaged in - when people seek justice from the oppression of those with more money or power, the people are always labeled terrorists and criminals.
If this revolution to reclaim liberty is to remain a non violent one, the only way it can achieve its non violent objectives is to deprive the ruling class of the money and resources it utilizes to oppress us. So long as this ruling oligarchy can finance oppressive action they will continue to do so. There is no shortage, especially in these hard times, of those who will gladly serve the rich and, for pay, take up arms against neighbor or community.
The movement should focus on a targeted approach to strikes and boycotts. For example if the advertisers on the hate based Fox News were effectively targeted and boycotted they may reconsider their support for the corrupt network.
There needs to be an "Freedom Index" which maintains an open source evaluation and listing of all politicians, corporations, newspersons, businesspersons, police, police departments and individuals and logs and archives any act against the people by any of these public entities. If such a comprehensive list can be made it could become an easy way to fight those companies, politicians and news organizations who are against the people and conversely help identify those companies, politicians or news persons who do NOT act against the rights and freedoms of individuals and steer support and rewards to those who champion the rights of people over those of the corporations or oligarchy.
