I can say for
myself that I am a very happy person. I have no complaints about my life.
Nobody ruined my life. I have no anger in me to prompt protest, so what made me
take the subway to go to the birthplace of Occupy Wall Street on the cold
winter day alone after the police raid? At the empty Liberty Plaza, I held a
sign that said “I stand here because I care about all the living species on
this planet.”
I see deceit, pain,
hunger and injustice in the world. I feel the misery of parents losing their
child to a bomb on the land of the “Enemy.” I have never liked this word
“Enemy.” It keeps coming out from the American President’s mouths in their
speeches. Within the "we’re crushing the evil" mentality, people cheer for the
victory of a war and for the killing of Osama Bin Laden, while my heart aches
over the casualties on both ends and over the environment we destroy.
People who get
their news from TV don’t know they’re being deceived, not realizing that our
media is owned and controlled by the 1%. People buy the official story of 9/11
and let the terror and fear lead them to support violence. As John Lennon once
said, “Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.” They run the
government and use fear to push their hidden agenda.
So I go around with
my hand made signs:
“War Is a Force
That Pays the 1 Percent”.
"NO War on
Iran. It's NOT IRAN who will spend $700 billion on Nuclear weapons over the
next decade."
“End the Fed.
Separate Government from the Corporations”
"Don't be a
slave for the 1%. Let's not treat Animals like slaves, too!"
“Stop Chemtrails!
Why spray toxins in our sky?”
I've been wanting
to scream for a long time, but I was just one little voice that nobody listened
to until Occupy Wall Street happened. With this movement, I’ve found a place
where I can express what I want to tell the world, where I can stand against
violence and stand up for the rights of all human beings and all other species.
Occupy Wall Street
is important because this is our chance to unite and tell the corrupt system
that enough is enough. We are the 99%. We have enough money and resources to feed
the whole world and give health care and shelter to everyone, if only we’re not
busy funding wars and making the billionaires richer and richer.
If we don’t speak
up, if we keep being ignorant about what’s going on, more and more weapons will
be built and more and more people will be killed. All our foods will be GMOs.
Big Pharma will flourish by giving us poisons. All our water will be
contaminated with fluoride. Toxins will keep falling from the sky in the name
of Geoengineering, and the Earth will face the serious radiation threat from
our nuclear dependence.
I hope this
movement will be the spark for change and conscious revolution and that it will
inspire people all over the world to create a world where we all care for each
other. Greed never knows how to be satisfied, but Love will fulfill us all. I
believe love is the answer to all our problems. It’s not the banks; it’s love
that is too big to fail. With all our differences among the people in the
world, love is where we can all connect. Let’s choose love instead of Fear. We
can create a beautiful world. We are the ones who are letting the global elites
do what they do. It’s not just the Government’s fault or the fault of the 1%. The
blame belongs to all of us, and any one of us can fix it.
