Martin Niemöller (in 2016) First they came for...

Who is Martin Niemöller? If you were educated in America over the past forty years, the chance is good that you do not know the man…but you have heard his words.

Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and, as a result of his bravery, spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps. Niemöller is most well-know for this quotation:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Socialist.
(A political group)

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

(A class justice group)

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Jew.

(A religious group)

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

And here is what I imagine Martin Niemöller might say today…

First they came for the Republicans, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Republican.

Then they came for our Publicly-Funded Colleges, and I did not speak out—

Because I could afford the tuition.

Then they came for the Muslims, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Muslim.

Then they came for my Privacy, and I did not speak out—

Because the NSA said I had nothing to worry about.

Then they came for my Radio, Print & Televised Media, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Talking Head.

Then they came for the Farmers of the World, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Farmer.

Then they came for the Whistleblowers, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Whistleblower.

Then they came for my undocumented house cleaner & landscaper, and I did not speak out—

Because I was born in this country.

Then they came for Black Fellow Americans, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not Black.

Then they came for the Democrats, and I did not speak out—

Because I was scared of Trump.

And so, who will speak—

When they come for me?

Bewise Berniecrats! #DEMEXIT is what the DNC wants...

Please Share. Help this go viral, nationally!

Strategy & Smarts Serve Us Best...

Berniecrats have been talking about #DEMEXIT for awhile now.

It is viewed as an act of power.

It is not.

Why? Simple.

They want you gone.

In short, the Oligarchy wants to maintain control of all arms of government.

Including Congress. And that means, they do NOT want

Berniecrats to vote in Congressional races.

Right now (in 2016) we do not have viable, non-Democratic Party down-ticket

candidates. Our best options (in 2016) are Berniecrat-Leaning

Democratic Party Members.

If Berniecrats #DEMEXIT, then we leave our congressional races

in the hands of "conventional" Democrats and Berniecrat Candidates will lose.

Right?

In 2016, you can not hurt the Democratic Party by leaving.

You can only disempower yourself.

So, what do I propose?

(1)

Between now and 2018, stay in the Democratic Party, so you can

influence the Democratic Party @ the District, Local and State Level.

(2)

Between now and 2018, work for any other party you prefer,

but please keep yourself in a "voting position" for Democratic Party races.

(3)

Between now and 2018, develop your Political Literacy, invite

*more* people into the process, and stay focused on the issues.

Yes. Primary Fraud within the DNC IS a legit issue!

To win this game of chess, we must think several moves ahead.

And in 2016, our best option is to elect Berniecrat Dems into Congress.

2018?

Well now, that's a whole different story, isn't it?

Just wait, DNC.

We're coming for our country.

And like the Founding Families before us, we will endure & overcome.

We are the many, You are the few.

The Time Has Come To Be The Media America Needs

The Political (R)Evolution is Infused With the Power of the People!

But, who are these people?

If you've been to as many Bernie Sanders rallies as I have, you already know! They are the best of the best, honest & sincere individuals of every description, ready to stand up and help lead our society, our nation and our world in a better direction. (And ready to join others who are already on that road!)

This video series is a PRELUDE to my coverage of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. My hope is that, by beginning to "reveal" the true thoughts and intentions of our fellow Americans, my viewers will find it easier to resist the temptation to believe the Corporate Media Narrative they'll throw at us during the convention.

Remember. The Political (R)Evolution will not be televised.

BUT, the Anti-Revolutionary Narrative will be.

It is up to YOU to be wise enough to know when you are being lied to and manipulated. However, it's also up to me and others like me...to do what we can, to reveal the goodness that exists within the American public.
