The Shots Heard 'Round The World

The Second American Revolution is now fully underway. As predicted by SHTF America in its article:  Predictions: 2011 written Wednesday, December 29^th 2010 in this column, a member of the United States Congress has been attacked; shot in the head at close range and now in the hospital in critical condition after surgery. It won’t be the last Congress person attacked, security or no security.

Congress woman Gabrielle Giffords of Tucson, Arizona, the primary target of the shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, was shot at a shopping center while attending a “Congress on the Corner” event along with nineteen others. Six were killed, including 9 year old Christina Taylor Green, an innocent bystander.

This despicable act, though tragic, comes as no surprise to SHTF America as we have voiced our expectations of violence on several occasions. There is massive, deep, and widespread hatred by the American people against Congress, and the blame for that “vitriol” falls squarely on the US Government. They have no one to blame for the violence but themselves.

The political and financial elite are and have been totally insensitive to the plight of the American worker, family, and taxpayer for decades, while they have lined their pockets with taxpayer dollars and financial incentives to benefit themselves. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that violence should manifest in America once again, and it will get worse. Consider the statement released by newly elected House Speaker John Boehner:

"I am horrified by the senseless attack on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and members of her staff. An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve. Acts and threats of violence against public officials have no place in our society. Our prayers are with Congresswoman Giffords, her staff, all who were injured, and their families. This is a sad day for our country."

The part that readers should pay attention to is: “An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve.” At least he got that right. This senseless, violent attack which took the life of innocent bystanders, including a little nine year old girl, was an attack on Congress! We  predicted attacks on Members of Congress in our article, Where In The World Is Robspierre?, dated November 29th 2010, and it is here in the archives. 

Boehner was lucky it wasn’t him. He has been part of the problem. How can he be part of the solution? After all, he has been in Congress for decades while it has:

1. Spent the nation into bankruptcy, transferred the wealth of the American people to other nations by allowing a massive out-of-balance,  balance of payments deficit to surge month after month, year after year under the guise of “free trade”.

2. Transferred the American means of production offshore so that we cannot pay our national debt;

3. Off shored 42,400 factories and millions of American jobs during the Bush Administration alone.

4. At the same time, Congress has encouraged 30 million latino nationals to enter the US illegally to compete for American jobs against American citizens and taxpayers, while at the same time, making American taxpayers subsidize the education and housing of illegals with welfare and food stamps, of more than $300 billion every year in direct costs. Enough money to fund social security, medicare, and health insurance for the American people!

5. It has bailed out a criminal banking system that has raped the American consumer and home owners, with $800 billion of direct payments to cover their losses, and continues to bail it out to the tune of $100 billion every month via QE2. 

6. Americans must buy price-inflated prescription drugs while subsidizing Big Pharma who distributes the same prescription drugs with much lower prices around the world.

The list goes on, and on, and on. Economic and political injustice on a massive scale that can only be described as treason by our own elected officials; yet somehow Boehner is “horrified” by the violent attack on Congress woman Giffords. What do expect you dumb shit?! House Speaker Boehner, you do violence to the American people every day you serve.

Until there is blood on the streets of America, the Powers That Be never get the message. Now it is their blood. Will they get the message? Not likely. They will claim it was the act of a madman, on drugs; a loner, non-conformist, anarchist. We will not mention here the hundreds of tons of illegal drugs that the CIA flies into this country every year to distribute to the inner cities.

Hell, he was probably just a middle class American fed up with the crap that passes for legislation from Congress: legislation they don't even bother to read before imposing it upon US! This is not to advocate violence; but it helps to understand it, as blood on the streets of America is historical fact. One only needs to look at the Viet Nam War protests and the Civil Rights Movement to see the truth of that statement.

When a 62 year old grandmother with a .357 magnum blows Boehner away for taking away her retirement account, medicare, and social security; the next guy in the line of power will say, “It was a dastardly deed by a demented old woman who forgot to take her meds!” They will recess Congress, put the Flag at half staff, and let him lie in state while they puke out praise for a man who lives a double standard: one health insurance plan for him, another for the American people. One retirement plan for him, another for the American people.

Little Christina Taylor Green, only nine years old when her life was tragically taken from her, was born on 9/11. SAY WHAT? Yes, little Christina Taylor Green, only nine years old, was born on 9/11.

If this be the price that the innocent bear for America, what should be the price for the guilty?
