Who will speak?
Who will speak for the generations to come? Who shall act for those yet to be born? All I hear is silence. All I see is
nothingness. No, let me rephrase that, I do see something; I do hear something.

What I hear are the rantings of a maniacal egotist, mouthing the regurgitated words of his Nazi masters. What I see are the
jackboots of repression marching swiftly over the land, led by corporate fascists with a sword in one hand and the power of
the press in the other.

Will they speak or act for the future generations? How can they when they care not one damn bit for the future? For the fascist,
there is no future -- only the present. For the totalitarian, there is no future, there is only now, fueled by the aphrodisiac of
unrestrained power.

The oppressor-to-be always speaks to the future (in terms of establishing thousand year Reichs), but the dictator never sees
beyond the here, and now. If the corporate fascist does give thought to the future it is solely in the short term, i.e., ensuring
there are enough young men and women to serve as cannon fodder for the endless war machine.

Look around you, Amerika, tell me what you see? Do you see a future bright with promise, or rather an imminent disaster? Do
you see a future in which your children, and their children will be free from want? Or do you see a future where just surviving
day to day --- on a poisoned Earth --becomes the rule?
