It's Time to Drop the Bomb!

It’s Time to Drop the Bomb!

By Rufus Jones, Squire to the Oracle

Without a doubt, most readers will be appalled at what follows. However, in my personal opinion this nation is so bogged down corruption and misinformation it’s time to stop talking and just drop the figuative bomb.

I’m tired of being a slave to the corporate ruling class. Our country’s government is now attempting to pull off a reverse Robin Hood, viz., rob the poor and give it to the rich.

Well now we the people have another weapon to add to our arsenal. I’m not attempting to downplay the effectiveness of the Occupy Movement, social networking, marches, letter writing and telephone calls to elected officials. These efforts must be continued, if not intensified. The time for politics and obstruction to end. There simply has to be an ultimate and final solution and you control that weapon.

I want our government(s) to intelligently and comprehensively debate the real problems and concerns of average Americans. Trade policies, education, health care, welfare, voting rates, labor relations, wages, fair taxation, gun legislation, campaign financing, social security, gender equality, equality, tax policy, infrastructure, privacy, fiscal responsibility, etc. Irrespective of your position or opinion on any of these topics, you’re entitled

My appeal is to intelligent individuals every political, sexual, gender, ideology ppersuasion. The goal is to have honest discussion and transparently reveal the inner workings of elected government. Unfortunately, many of people will read this will find it unseemly. To those of that ilk, I offer my apologies. Hopefully, you’ll eventually come around to my way of thinking.

First, a little background.

The moneyed class has always attempted to influence the direction of the country.  By way of example, during the colonial period and the early years of our nation, voting was generally restricted to white men who owned property. Today, these same individuals contribute the money that control our elected politicians, enforcement officials and judges.

In order to make the Forbes 400 Wealthiest Americans, it’s necessary to have a net worth in excess of $1 billion. The top ten are:

1.    Bill Gates, $66 billion
2.    Warren Buffett, $46 billion
3.    Larry Ellison, $41 billion
4.    Charles Koch, $31 billion
5.    David Koch, $31 billion
6.    Christy Walton & family, $27.9 billion (Walmart)
7.    Jim Walton, $26.8 billion (Walmart)
8.    Alice Walton, $26.3 billion (Walmart)
9.    S. Robson Walton, $26.1 billion (Walmart)
10.    Michael Bloomberg, $25 billion

Second.

The multimillionaires and the billionaires don’t hold their wealth in cash. They invest their money in bonds, stock and property. These are weak links in their chain of power.

However, these assets will not crumble to a direct frontal attack. But an attack against their wealth will cause them to consider and eventually pull back and return the government to “we the people”.


The wealthy obviously feel as though they are entitled to everything of value and the crumbs can filter down to the rest of the populace. They should remember that Frederick the Great said, “He who defends everything defends nothing.”

I was once told that when you get to be too good for the little, they’ll eventually get to be too good for you. That time is now and you and possess the ultimate weapon.

Take it as an article of faith of faith that armed revolution is not the answer. The government at every level will crush you and not even think about it. If you’re contemplating revolution you’ll end up just like Waco, Kent State  or Ruby Ridge, With luck, you’ll only be subjected to pepper spray but don’t count on it..

Third – The Foundation.

The crux of my proposal can be gleaned from a couple of interesting tidbits.

Did you know that German 2012 retail sales unexpectedly declined in December as consumers’ Christmas-shopping frenzy was damped by uncertainty about the economic outlook.

Adjusted for inflation and seasonal swings, declined 1.4 percent from November, when they fell 1 percent, the Federal Statistics Office in Wiesbaden said today. Economists forecast a gain of 0.8 percent, the median of 24 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey showed. Sales fell 0.9 percent from a year ago. The statistics office said retail sales were 0.9 percent higher in 2011 than in 2010.

U.S. retail sales the entire holiday season were below the solid gains made at the beginning of the festive season. Sales got off to a firm start during the Thanksgiving weekend, but then slowed down as holiday shoppers adopted a wait-and-see approach to buying. Still, US retailers, helped by a longer Thanksgiving-to-Christmas period lasting for 32 days against 30 in 2011, as well as low temperatures across most parts of the US and despite the residual impact of Superstorm Sandy in the Northeast, managed to record a satisfactory sales increase of some 3% from last year, when a stellar growth of over 5% was achieved.


Conclusion: Drop the Bomb..

In order to bring about meaningful change we’ll have to use the methods of the wealthy puppet masters. The wealthy will only respect an attack on their money. Real Estate Investment Trusts build the malls, office buildings and warehouses. That debt must be serviced by companies who produce up to forty percent of their profits between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Do I need to tell you who owns the stock in those retailers and Investment Trusts?

Unlike you and I the rich don’t hoard cash. They invest in debt instruments, real property and virtually everything that has intrinsic value.

The ultimate weapon is a boycott of Christmas. We only need a minuscule decline in retail performance to gain attention. I suggest a goal of .05 to 1% for 2013. The goal will increase by one percent each year until there is a positive reaction. I realize that this goal won’t appeal to many of you activists. They’re wrong.

It is realistic to believe and state that most Americans are content to let others take the risks while they share the benefits and avoid the risks. I’m appealing to everyone that doesn’t want to sit-in, marc, have his/her name published or attend meetings. Those individuals can remain invisible because no one can spy on you or even monitor your participation in the Christmas Boycott.

Should you find any merit in my secret weapon, please free to pass this opinion piece on to everyone you know.
