Dear Occupy Wall Street,
Welcome to the Resistance.
I know what you might be thinking, “What do you mean Welcome to the Resistance? We’ve been here since September 17, 2011!!”
This I am aware of. However, I mean no disrespect by my greeting, I mean only to welcome you to the membership of those who are awake to the truth. I have watched over the last several months as your movement has grown. I watched as you expanded your numbers and began to put real fear in the hearts of the establishment. I watched as you bravely stood your ground against police brutality and riot police who shot you will “rubber bullets” in the name of “keeping the peace.” I have watched as you expanded your reach around the world and caused millions of sleeping people to awaken to the fact that they were being raped, robbed, and taken advantage of. For this I applaud you.
However, I want to address some concerns I have with you. Please understand that those of us in the Resistance stand with you in exercising your rights as citizens. We stand with you in your fight to awaken a generation to the crimes of Wall Street and Governments around the world. We stand with you against the violence perpetrated against you by police officers who have broken their oath to the Constitution.
Many among your movement seem to desire the forcible theft of the spoils of others. Many of you want to tax the rich without an understanding that a tax to take from one person to give to another is NOT a tax, but theft. Many among you talk of things like socialism, anarchy, and a total end to capitalism. This shows that you are naive and have no understanding of history. Socialism has NEVER worked!! EVER!! Socialism has given rise to the worlds most evil men. Socialism has caused the murder of MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of people around the world in just the last century!!!
You also speak of anarchy in the streets if your desires are not met. Please understand that the Resistance will consider that a threat against our families and we will act with aggression if need be. Anarchy is nothing more than a collective mass of people throwing a childish fit. It does nothing to sustain a livable society or bring peace and equality, which you claim to desire. If you want anarchy then you want death for yourself and decent citizens the world over. If you knew better you would realize that the reason Wall Street was bailed out was because our elected leaders have, for the most part been bought out (except for a few) by big business and the Military Industrial Complex.
While we agree with you that big business and corporations need to be removed from the electoral process, from influencing our leaders, and lobbying in Washington. We cannot stand with you in bringing capitalism to an end. Capitalism is the reason you can afford the tents you sleep in, the sleeping bag you stay warm in, and the cloths that cover your body. Capitalism is not evil. The abuse of capitalism is evil. Just like money in and of itself is not evil but what you do with it certainly can be. Capitalism has never murdered, stolen, or destroyed anyone. It’s the abuse of Capitalism that has done that. We agree that our system has become more about gree We agree that there are abuses (and they will be confronted) against the “little man.” We agree that those in power are stealing from the everyday man to line their pockets, while our children go to bed hungry.
However, if you are going to get angry at anyone or blame anyone for the crimes taking place in this nation, you should first look in a mirror. The reason our government is so bloated and out of control is because “We the People” have allowed it to be. The reason Wall Street is taking advantage of Main Street is because “We the People” have allowed it to happen. Maybe you didn’t see it happening when you were sipping your coffee at Starbucks or grabbing groceries at Whole Foods, but the truth is that the bottom fell out a long time ago.
Our nation is in the condition it is in not because of Wall Street, Washington, Lobbyist, Big Business, or whatever other bogeyman we can come up with. No. The reason our nation is in the condition it is in is because “We the People” have abandoned our Founding principles. We have forsaken the values and ideals that our Founding Fathers used to birth the GREATEST, MOST POWERFUL, AND MOST SUCCESSFUL nation to EVER grace planet earth. The ONLY way we can get back to a system that is beneficial to all is to return to those principles. If we do not then all your protesting will be in vain. I sincerely hope you will consider this a challenge to learn what made America great and contend for that.
America is not only great, she is good!!! If we desire as a people to see that goodness again in our lifetimes it will require us standing up for the right values, ideas, and principles that our Forefathers stood for!!
Sincerely,
The Resistance
