Checklist to armageddon
by Sherri B., Unknown News

1. Lost, almost lost, or about to lose your job? Check.

2. Civil liberties stripped away clean? Check.

3. Money in the bank almost gone? Check.

4. Children and elders about to be uncared for and unsafe? Check.

5. Congresspeople will not support you? Check.

6. Future retirement and/or Social Security money unreliable? Check.

7. You may or may not have a mortgage that is in jeopardy? Check.

8. If you rent your home you're being gouged because the mortgage arena is crashing? Check.


9. The police are on a rampage of destruction and rights violation? Check.

10. Panic and fear runs through your mind at least once a day? Check.

11. Global nuclear war and possible draft on the horizon? Check.

12. The simultaneous crash of global economic markets? Check.

13. The strain of your daily lives eating away your mental health? Check.

14. Hopelessness setting in? Check.

15. Escapism is no longer working? Check.

I have news for you, folks: Time is UP. It's PAST up. We're now in the scenario of everyone waking up and having the absolute worst. War, loss of all income, loss of home, abandonment by our elected representatives, foodstuffs being unhealthy, substandard, or even poisonous, war, so on and so forth.

So I make an outrageous request:

STOP. EVERYTHING.

I mean it. Take a day off and take stock. Bring the kids and elders in for that family meeting. Arrange that knock on your congresspersons door. (You know where they live or work by now).

It's past time to start taking your world back. Or there will be absolutely nothing for you to take. You will either become a fighter, a martyr, or a slave.

What is your choice?

the people like a Martin Luther King, Mandella or Ghandi or somebody because if we don't take control things soon I'm afraid there's dark days a head for all of us.
