I don't pretend to be an activist, nor am I the slightest bit of a good example for activism. All I know is that if I come upon something that can help the people I care about, then I have to share it. I'm sure most of you who actually take the time to read this will be pretty amused. Oh god, Cody's harping on the conspiracy theory shit again. Trust me. I'm not. I'm not writing this to amuse you or even myself. I'm writing this because I don't want you to get hurt.
I'm sure there's a bunch of you that know this, but for those of you who haven't clued in yet, there is a massive and unavoidable collapse of the entire world economy underway. Whether we will see the effects of it in 2009 or the next few years isn't certain, but we are about to see a great depression on a scale the human race has never seen. It won't be long before we see the effects, not on television or youtube, but in the streets outside. I would say revolution is necessary, but that revolution is already happening. It is not a flag that we can unite under, or a leader we can follow, and definitely not a war we will fight. This is an internal revolution. This is a revolution of knowing the truth, and being as proactive as we possibly can be. It is a revolution of taking our heads out of the sand and standing up for our inalienable human rights. It is a revolution of realizing that we must help and protect each other if we are going to survive this. Keep in mind, I don't say this so that I can act as a catalyst for this collapse. I'm not trying to rally any of you or start a protest.
I'm here to warn you. Because it's coming, whether we want to admit it or not.
First, watch this. Try not to let the fact that this video is out of sinc with the audio distract you from its message.
This is another video I've found. Rather than hyperventilating the issue, Dmitry Orlov actually gives some examples of how to cope with the impending economic collapse, by looking to the recovery of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Visit these websites. I've only just stumbled upon them but I want to share them with you because hopefully they might shed some light on the situation, and help you in the future.

I never thought I'd feel so strongly about something in my life, but then again, what else in my life have I EVER felt so strongly about? Music? The arts? I used to watch these documentaries and news reals and listen to political music because it was entertaining, and I'd laugh and talk about it with my friends and feel oh so important, but never actually DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. Those days of deluding myself are over. I might piss you off and annoy you from now on, because I promise you, I won't stop talking about this. I have made my decision. I don't want to depress or anger anyone. I want people to realize that waiting for some politician to bring about some hackneyed solution is futile and ludicrous. I shouldn't have to tell anybody this, but to think for a single second that Barack Obama is going to make things better is a pure waste of time. It is the people with the true power for change, and I believe (I HAVE to believe) that we as a species are not beyond hope. We can one day bring about the civilized society that all mankind deserves. I've always felt like there was something missing in my life. I know now that there has never been a more rewarding field to work in than the arena of social change.
Always have an open mind, and always be aware that you may believe something one day and have those beliefs challenged the next. The fool speaks to be heard, the wise man speaks so he may listen.
Okay...I'm done for now
