The Sleepers have awakened?

In my past there were many interesting and thought provoking discussions that revolved around the sleeping masses. Sometimes these conversations were just tidbits, sometimes they lasted for hours. For the most part it was agreed that billions were sleepers, not interested in the hows or whys of what happened around them, just existing in their own little bubble world, totally oblivious to who or what was actually controlling their lives.

Suddenly the sleepers have awakened, or at least those that have are making enough noise that others are brushing the cobwebs out of their eyes and are listening for the first time. Wallstreet protests, Rome riots...surely more to come. I wonder if we have waited too long? Or perhaps this minor revolution of thought will spread?

Major corporations have been insidiously taking control of our planet for decades if not longer. It has reached a boiling point where the obvious greed and corruption are no longer hidden. 2009 and Wall Streets attitude of "Bail Us Out", even though we are already rich, was a slap in the face to people who struggle each day to just get by. The placing of Wall Street professionals as counselors to our government and Presidents is another part of the plan, and has been for over 40 years, if not longer. The Chairman of the Federal reserve has been in the past accused of fraud in the purchasing of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America., and under the table dealings with AIG, one of the companies bailed out in 2009. Then there is Congresses refusal to tax the rich, and instead place the burden on a dying middle class. They keep fighting to protect those that are already wealthy. What happened to our representation? We cannot contribute enough to their political campaigns. The highest contributors get what they pay for.

How can they not know that the anger is building? The blatant greed and the hope that most people remain sleeping would eventually completely subjugate us under a society totally dominated by Big Business. We are slipping into a feudal world again, with the rich being the Barons and Lords, and the rest of us being the slaves that support them, the middle class will disappear. Does that sound like science fiction? It's not.

Is it too late? I think that depends on how many sleepers awaken. Will we be placated and put back into our places as good little citizens of the world? I sincerely hope that people don't believe that those that are protesting are crack pots and madmen. I have always been an advocate of thinking for yourself, doing some research, and forming your own opinion. What ever we do, it would be to everyone's advantage to NOT sit in front of your TV and suck in what the media will be feeding you. Why? Because our Media is already controlled by 8 of the largest corporations in the world. They decide what to show and tell you.

Think for yourself. Make your own decisions. Don't let Big Brother win. If we do, then we will all be losers in the end. To the Protesters? Thank you for your courage. I hope that your efforts will bring positive change and awaken the sleeping masses to a new reality..one not found on a TV show or in a shopping mall. The message is : Greed is winning. If you care do something about it in a positive way. Don't become a drone for the worshipers of the Golden Calf.

I would be interested in what others have to say about this. Fill free to leave comments, all opinions are welcome, but please..keep it clean.

thoughtfully,
