America's Biggest Threat Revealed!

By Frank Rummel

06 December, 2011
Countercurrents.org

Hunh? What could that be?

Is a new breed of terrorist poised to strike at America's heartland?
Is a sleeper cell awakening to wreak more havoc on our safety,
liberty and freedom? Will secret agents pop out from under rocks to
incite still another fake war? Another economic catastrophe?
Revolution?

What about the 1000s of Occupations springing up across the planet? Is
this a sign that something is wrong?

Or, is it a sign that something is right about America???

For years now, we have seen 14 million Americans jobless; millions
more underemployed. Those still working have seen wages fall after 30
years of stagnation.

Why are these facts alone not motivating your participation to hammer
out a solution?

Did the bursting of the real estate bubble with millions of Americans
losing their "dream" homes signify something? Why was this debacle not
enough to sway popular opinion to take action against the banks and
other powers that rule our lives?

What about the $700,000,000,000 bailout and multi-trillion dollar
secret bailouts by the Federal Reserve of foreign banks worldwide?

Still not piqued?

Why are the richest 1% getting even more fabulously wealthy while the
real wages of the remaining 99% are decreasing? Is this because we are
lazy?

Why is it the "greatest nation ever" doesn't even provide free health
care to its citizens when most advanced nations do?

Who is this U.S. citizen who does not even care that our freedom is
systematically being destroyed for a bogus "War on Terror"?

IS IT YOU???

Please consider and answer one question: Why do YOU allow this mass
destruction of your homes, your livlihoods, your country?

The ULTIMATE CAUSE is in plain view, and sadly, it is as pervasive as
it is insideous.

Here it is in big letters so you won't miss it: APATHY!

Yes, the greatest theat to the future of the United States is the
apathy of its citizens. I learned this first hand by participating in
Occupy Phoenix. We are holding up placards and we broadcast this
message loud through bullhorns.

But, still, YOU don't seem to care.

As I write these words, perhaps the most important national uprising
since 1776 is taking place in every state across the land: 400+
Occupations with millions of citizens doing what they can: taking to
the streets in protest, supporting the movement with background
support and logistics or, perhaps, dropping by to show support or
maybe just to learn what the Occupation is all about.

Change begins when one individual makes an effort.

It is time! Start educating yourself as an informed citizen and delve
deeper into what is actually going on right here in your own backyard
and all over the planet. It's ugly and it's brutal and I feel
compelled to warn a fellow citizen that your turn will come to suffer
the consequences if WE fail to act now.

There are nations like Egypt and others where citizens die by the
1000s as ruthless tyranny crushes them simply because they stood up
for their rights as human beings. We must not let that happen here!

Participate at a non-violent Occupation in your area today. Bring your
knowledge, skills and a hope for a better world.
