NEWS FLASH - POSTED FEB. 25, 2008:

HUMAN CHAIN TO END THE EMPIRE 7-4-08

When the lone voice in the desert says, "Let's end the empire!" - what are you supposed to do?
I believe the best thing we could do to celebrate our effort would be to form a human chain AROUND THE GLOBE. And my suggested target date is July 4, 2008, perhaps in the morning before the sun beats hard and before all of the partying.
This will be a declaration of independence all over again, except this time we are declaring our independence in our struggle to beat back the beasty Empire. Everybody in every community all over the globe could participate, just by forming their own human chains whereever they are.
I've created a video - Let's End The Empire!" which is attached here, explaining my reasoning for ending wasteless spending into keeping more than 700 military occupations throughout the world, not counting in the USA. The US spends more money on its military than the rest of the world combined spends on its defense. We spend 10 times more than China, 12 times fore than Russia, and 100 times more than Iran and North Korea.
A democracy might help other countries in their times of righteous struggles; however, it doesn't conquer and occupy countries. That's what an empire does.
Make sure you view my video and take a look at the data and links I provide in this sidebar. You are welcome to use my material however you see fit. Do your own version if you don't like mine. All of the facts are there, or at least the supporting facts. Thank you for your consideration, fellow Utubians for Utopia, and all who will join us!

why not move out, you f****** socialist

[desertjournalonline]

@hotrod4you2 All Americans are Socialists, like it or not. The Elite want you to think we are something else when indeed we are sucking the life out of greedy capitalists' War Machine.

Thank you for posting this...George Carlin had it right and so do you!

Unfortunately many young men who can't bear to face the fact that the jobs they would have been glad to have while they raised themselves and a family are gone having been sold to other countries so that our elite can be safe and hide their money over seas.

[desertjournalonline]

@laurasIs2c At least Carlin could stir up humor from the huge messes we make, i.e. declaring war to keep the war machine fat and sassy. And domestically the elite have stolen our national resources, shipped them overseas and soon we shall see the People's revolution (AGAIN) come out of the shell. The elite will be overthrown because we NO longer feed them. At least that's the prophesy I want to see come to past. Rest assured, the elite are NOT safe anywhere because they'll hang themselves.

@laurasIs2c That's okay, we're coming after them no matter where they live or hide, LOL!
