The unfortunate facts she laments have a common theme … the devious exploitation of the people by our despicable government and its fascist corporate toadies, for the nefarious goal of consolidating ever more power over us. It’s working swimmingly for them … so far.

“That can all change on a dime once the pitchforks and guillotines come out. Real power lies in the hands of the masses, and once enough of us get fed up with the status quo there won’t be anyone dumb enough to stand against us. And from there, creating a better system and a better world becomes very possible.”

Cannot say it any better than that, Sister, rock on.

For peace and freedom in our time,
