Toward a Second Revolution: A Private Banking Cartel

(A program on how to defeat centralized political power & concentrated economic wealth)

Background

For the past 50+ years fascist [1] billionaires have implemented a plan designed to enrich themselves using the power of the national government and corporations as their means of achieving it. They have corrupted our government -- the executive, legislative, and judiciary -- so much so that it is no exaggeration to assert that the national government is a 'captured' institution, resistant to reform, principally serving the interests of the banking, fossil fuel, military industries, and the other monopoly corporations.
While it is imperative that we resist this fascist takeover, it is equally important to rethink our strategy and organize locally to take our country back one city and county at a time.

Meanwhile, life on planet earth is in grave peril. [2] We are in the midst of the largest mass extinction of species since the age of the dinosaurs,[3] some 66 million years ago. Due almost exclusively to mindless corporate exploitation of natural resources and the consumer culture they propagate, the planet has lost 2/3rds of all animals in the last 50 years. And yet, our captured national government continues the destruction of life with a 'business as usual' attitude, fueling and feeding the very corporations responsible for the decimation of the matrix of life on this planet.

We the people must get organized, we should come together around our founding principles and several key initiatives built upon these principles. We must build a better political system and economy that empowers local government first and liberates us from debt peonage to a privately owned centralized banking cartel.
