If you're a consumer of independent media and not already following RBN, you'd be well served to do so. They are a passionate group of revolutionary activists in persuit of a tremendous noble cause. They work as well with other independent media that with your help could become a world wide network of journalistic truth.
That being said, thank you again, JB for talking with me today. I want to apologize for not having even mentioned the following;
There are 2 huge things we didn't get to that I forgot I guess, or just got lost in conversation (confirming my belief I wouldn't be great at doin my own show). One was the MOST important. Something we've seen recently in fact, and the most effective tactic in my opinion. How on earth did I space that?The first is the Economic Sabotage. It's been used by workers repeatedly throughout history very effectively on large and small scales. We've seen multiple strikes take place that were pretty fruitful. That was another thing we should have celebrated more as a win. I'd like to mention especially though, the ones that completely obstructed commerce in a huge way with very minimal effort, those were at the docks where workers refused to unload ships, and the trucker convoy that freaked the moneychangers out. This type of action is our own form of the 'sanction' tactic they love to use so much. That is a weapon that can be turned on to them relatively easily with tremendous impact.
Using the 'Intl Coalition' we could obstruct commerce on a global scale. The little (compared to global population) Trucker actions, for instance, scared them enough that they scrambled to PRE- intervene in order to stop the same occuring here. Imagine if every port in the world refused to unload anything for even 1 single day. It would cost them a fortune every minute it continued and as soon as it costs them MORE to deny our demands than to grant them those demands will be met. A heavy handed way to force the state to address peoples needs.
If we had to do show over again, we would defininitely LEAD with that.
The other, also humongous thing that is extremely important too, and again, I can't believe I didn't mention this either; that is 'Selling revolution' to Conservatives/Older generations that are typically 'revolution hesitant'. Usually this demographic (MAGAs) is very risk averse & fear anarchy alot, but similar to your 'using family values' to help them relate better to the cause, we should present revolution to them as an opportunity to make the myth they claim to value so much a REALITY.
The 'America is greatest country in the world, land of the free, protector of democracy' illusion can be made true. They do know it isn't true anymore & their MAGA slogan indicates that very thing. All the things they believe they have lost (though they didn't REALLY FULLY have to begin with), can be brought to fruition, also on a global scale. They can make America all those things to the whole world. In a very real sense Americans can save the world if we choose. Litterally. What could be more 'patriotic' than that? Not to mention in doing so, they find redemption for things America has done that are shameful (that they try hard to deny but do know), but still 'save face', because for many of them that is important. To this demographic especially, the emotional attachment to the myth and it's symbols, (flag, anthem,pledge) can be used just as effectively by revolutionaries as it is by the establishment to motivate them.
While in reality majority of us know that 'saving the world' could never happen without the solidarity of other more deserving foreign 'heroes' (the very people most harmed by our complacence), selling it that way to them is worth it's weight in gold if it brings what we all want most- Peace, dignity, and justice for all.
I apologize again, for being so anxious. I'll be posting this in full on my blog, but if you could share this with your audience and apologize to them for me as well, (or present it in any other format you'd like) it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again for the great thing you're doing. I'll continue to watch and support RBN in every way I possibly can.
Sincerely,
Janiece
