a time to speak up

It's amazing how much ill-treatment we, the people, will tolerate without demur:

Price concealment replaces price discovery

Confusion replaces confidence

Our rights disrespected or usurped

Our children's children enslaved

A neutered, partisan, ineffectual congress and president

Constitutions gutted regarding monetary controls, democratic freedoms, legal redress etc.

Financial corruption rampant and unchecked

Personal freedoms eroded

Personal savings and dues pillaged and hoarded by private banks

Endless robbery of the poor by the rich

Lies and concealment the norm

Income inequalities extreme

The conventional media owned and stringently controlled

Extreme inequality before the law, with far greater leniency for the rich and the corporate

Destruction of the middle class

Usurping of the people's treasury

Stockmarket piracy by short-term trading, naked shorting, etc.

All this, and we, the people, born in an age of communication, say...nothing!

The price of freedom is vigilance.
