"Point of Clarification"

AN OPEN LETTER TO OCCUPY:

No one can see the contradictions between their beliefs and the people they vote or rally for... That is upsetting.  Freedom is popular. Wanting your government to give you entitlements and handouts and bailouts and welfare and etc.. That is not freedom. Americans are among the many in this world that do not understand we are "RUN" by the Elite. The few, and the rich.... They did not earn this money through hard work and dedication for their country. Or the common good of people across the world. They earned this with corrupting those in a position of power. This is CORPORATISM. This is not capitalism. Why hasn't the Federal Government changed anything in that last 80 years? Because they are buying into their own interests. "They" don't care about you. They don't care about me... I am serving this country, and this country doesn't care about me. I feel used and hurt and offended by my own government.

Now with that being said here are some realistic demands I have for this country to get back on track.

1. Audit the Federal Reserve-this will shed light on the corruption and mal-investment thus causing the federal reserve to be taken out. If they replace it with something else or decide to clean house and get some new minds working in there that is fine. The reason I feel that would fine is because the problem will be clear. Allowing any entity to freely create capital out of thin air is going to be shut down due to the inflation of the capital. Kind of like a 19 year old kid who maxes out all 25 credit cards he applied for last month. This will prompt discussion on backing our dollar with real money and returning value to our currency.

2. End all wars now- I mean right now. We can't afford it and we are doing more harm then good. We are building whole cities in Iraq (the ones we bombed and ruined in the first place) while cities here are falling apart. If the infrastructure isn't failing then the states budget is because of infrastructure spending and not being able to afford it due to inflation (see number 1) and unemployment rates (which lowers revenue because less people are paying state taxes and collecting unemployment insurance through their state, which also drains the state tax pool). We have something like 900 bases in 130 countries around the world. WHY? Why do we have U.S. military bases in Italy or Germany or Spain? We are building an Empire without any respect to history. Empires fail. Period. You can't get around it because you stretch your resources so much that your original borders fall apart.

Also with this argument goes the need to protect our National Security interests... If you think we have National Security you are feeding into the illusion. People can walk right into our country and no one notices for years... that's not national security. Maybe if the "National" Guard was here we could help that issue a bit but they are in Afghanistan.

3. Pay every single civil servant the same as the active duty military and if you keep getting elected you get a modest raise just as the military does throughout their years. Your job is to protect our freedoms but in order for you to protect my freedom you can't just be sucking money out of the system. You have to be a leader in your community so that people look up to you and aspire to be like you. That should be why people get voted into something. And in that case... you should probably already have a job and a retirement account.

4. End the drug war. It doesn't work and people die more from legal pharmaceutical drugs then illegal ones anyways. Yes even meth and heroin... which if you are doing you need help. If you get sent to jail you're probably just going to learn how to start selling and maybe even get ahold of more stuff. Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it just magically goes away. And the amount of crime due to the cartels and even our government being involved in drug running.... it is out of control. Declaring this "War on Drugs" allowed our government to get away with more crimes. Because now alot of it is untraceable, for instance the poppy fields in Afghanistan are doing better then ever. Before we went there and started protecting their fields with our soldiers there was very little poppy coming from that region. now 90% of America's heroin is trafficked out of Afghanistan. Who do you think is getting it into the country?

I personally feel these 4 things are things every American can agree with. At least the average Americans NOT making profit from the war machine. I am shocked that none of these proposals are in the demands from the Occupy movement. It makes me think that this is not run by average Americans. "They" are using these activists as a vehicle to bring about social change but in my experience down at Occupy San Diego I can see that most of them don't have a common goal. I do wish they could come together on these issues because WE can make this happen. These are not left or right ideas. These are SOLUTIONS to our growing problems. These solutions will start a domino effect of mending our economy and our citizens broken hearts.

PEACE LOVE AND LIBERTY ALWAYS AND FOREVER
