The recent raids in Denver, Portland, Oakland and Manhattan show that the establishment has run out of patience with the voices of the dissenters and is determined to silence and suppress them. This result was predictable. The Occupiers were tolerated as long as the were weak and scattered; now that it has become apparent that they might pose a serious threat to our ruling oligarchy they must be eliminated by whatever level of force is required. Peaceful protest is OK as long as it occurs half-way around the world in Africa or the Middle East, but when the citizenry here at home gets serious about exercising Constitutional rights, it simply will not be tolerated. So the billionaire mayors who buy their way into positions of power loose their police dogs on the commoners. No killings here at home yet, but some close calls. The killings will come later when the powers that run this country realize that they no longer have the consent of the governed. It may take years, and it may take decades, but it will happen because freedom is never quite snuffed out.

Sorry to break the news to you, Mr. CEO, but the revolution has begun, and it will not be on TV.
