For the 99% - The NEW COMMON SENSE - Must distribute FAST!


In Unity,

THE NEW COMMON SENSE

A Declaration of INTERDEPENDENCE, born of necessity, from and for the collective conscience of the “99%” to and for the oligarchic “1%” of the United States of America.

SUMMARY

SECTION I: The Right to Equal Participation in Government has been taken from the People and is explained. — A Plan is offered to restore the Right to Equal Participation that requires only the use of tools and procedures that have already been proven to work. — The restoration of Equality must take priority above all and reasons are given. — Outside damaging influences must no longer be allowed privileged access to Elected Representatives in a Constitutional Republic. — An Offer in Compromise that would reunite this Nation with its Foundation is clearly stated. — A clear, workable and simple method by which we may rebuild ourselves as a Prosperous Nation and return to being One Hundred Percent is explained. — A New Litmus Test of our government is declared and explained. — A plan and petition to rebalance the Branches of Government is outlined in detail.

SECTION II: Monitions are forwarded to our Leaders, to the Congress in specific, to the Media, to Law Enforcement and the Domestic Militia, and to the “1%” — A direct message and plea for the “99%” from the author(s).

SECTION I - Common Sense from the “99%”

INTRODUCTION AND PREAMBLE

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for the Citizens of a Nation to petition their own Government for a redress of grievances, the People have a duty to exercise their rights under the First Amendment collectively if they so choose. To this end, We the People hereby assert our right to peacefully assemble and petition our Government for redress when we feel that this is our best, and perhaps only remaining option to seek remedies.
We affirm that any lasting and workable solution must reach beyond mere politics, that political issues do not matter at a time when our collective voice has been nearly silenced. We believe that the current political climate has caused a paralysis of our Government. We find that our individual opinions mean little when we are no longer being properly represented. In fact, we believe that the Balance of Power between the Branches of our Government has been corrupted to the point where it can answer only to members of an affluent and politically active upper class. The impending result of this imbalance is that government of the People, by the People, for the People has almost perished from Our Nation. We believe that government has been influenced by an external source that has conspired to control it to the point of stalemate. We believe that this was forced upon us by “special interests”, corporations, lobbyists, the banking and the financial sector including Wall Street and the Federal Reserve, who together have used unrestrained financial leverage leading to the corruption of many politicians, regardless of their political party, resulting in great damage to the People and to this Nation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all are created equal regardless of their financial status. — That we free Citizens of the United States are without exception endowed under a Federal Constitution granting us certain unalienable Rights. — That among these Rights are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure and protect these rights, our forefathers drafted this Constitution, ratified by the then several States and agreed to by the People. — That this Constitution defines and protects us all with a system of Checks and Balances by which the powers and responsibilities of government would be divided amongst the Federal, the States and the People. — That this original Social Contract in which those powers were granted has been repeatedly violated by the Federal government. — That we no longer are represented by our Government. — That we no longer have a voice in our Government. — That the limits of power of the Federal Government have been deliberately and repeatedly breached. — That our Government has become destructive towards the vast majority of the same People that they are supposed to protect. — That outside influences have gained unreasonable power and influence within our Government. — That the Fair Election system is being systematically dismantled and no longer allows for a full, on paper, verification and accounting of actual balloting. — That We the People have the Fundamental Right and Patriotic Duty under the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights to peacefully assemble and to demand that the Government cease and desist from or correct any of these violations. — That the Government cede back to the States and to the People all such Powers that they have unconstitutionally seized, regaining such Powers from the States via Constitutional Amendment if they are to have them at all. — That our Government must Right these encroachments on the People by realigning itself to the Constitution. — That vague interpretations of the Constitution should be clarified through civil discourse leading to a series of new Amendments and with full participation by the several States.

1. I would like to know what happened
Edited on Sun Nov-06-11 04:00 PM by AsahinaKimi
to "their" promise to take down Fox News. I am severly disappointed. **Edited to note, I went to their website, and under "Ask Anonyomous" posted my question. Hopefully someone will read it..and do something about it.

2. when a hacker "telegraphs" his moves, he has already LOST
Edited on Sun Nov-06-11 04:19 PM by karnac
Granted, an entity cannot totally protect against DOS attacks, connectivity depends too much on other entities and routes the original target doesn't control.

But if one knows an attack is imminent, all one has to do is install critical updates(to help prevent all BUT zero-day vulnerabilities) scan for viruses/worms/rootkits,beef up firewal/procedures and MONITOR MONITOR MONITOR.

a hacker is most successful when one doesn't know one is under attack.

A hacker is not a god. And ego frequently trips one up.

4. I still don't know about the videos..
Anyone can claim to represent Anonymous. For all anyone knows, some 16 year old might have made the video and claimed to be Anonymous. I have sited before, as an example, how teenagers have made fake Movie Trailers to movies that haven't even come out yet. Most of the time, people have figured it out, when the content looks exactly like a previous movie, or uses someone else's movie clip.

In the age when anyone can fake anything, its hard to trust the source of most material.

6. I agree but if ANYONE threatened me, I'd take precautions NOW.
I'd worry later if they were legitimate threats later.

Actually, might be a good thing for me.

Security might have been a thing I had been stupidly neglected. And now, NOT.

10. This latest document is clearly crafted by professionals --
constitutional lawyers with a global vision who want to remain anonymous for now would be my guess.

A little research on videos published under 'Anonymous' reveals there are huge differences in production capabilities and in the tone of the text read out.

Watch this for example:

Anonymous: This is what we are capable of -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP9q61Fjlqo&feature=source_video

As opposed to this obvious fake:

Anonymous Addresses Alex Jones:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3C0It-igKM&feature=related

While anybody can publish whatever they want as Anonymous, we will have to hone our bullshit detectors and learn to trust our intuition more than ever before. And that's a good thing if you think about it. In fact, that is one of the most exciting byproducts during this terrifying destabilization of the status quo that we are currently going through.

12. So let me ask you...
Edited on Sun Nov-06-11 06:12 PM by AsahinaKimi
Did you see on DU the video about Anonymous, claiming to take down Fox News? I saw way too many clips from the movie "V" for Vendetta. The first thing I thought was, the fake movie trailers I had seen.

Now maybe the video was legit, but how am I to know that, and yeah.. The Fox Website is still up.
What does this tell us?

13. It tells each individual to listen to their own intuition, their gut feelings if you will,
about whatever we hear from any source.

16. I think also, that those who are sincerely working on restoring
democracy here and elsewhere and to defeat the Global Cartels who have basically been destroying nations, do not mind the confusion.

Very astute observations by you as always, Kaleko :-)

These are very exciting times we are living in.

18. Confusion and half-truths used to be one of the greatest weapons deployed against the 99%.
How delicious to see it turned against these Wizards of OZ. Finally!

Thanks for your support during the most breathtaking period in recorded human history. :)

20. Lol, yes, it is fun to watch, almost makes you think that those
orchestrating some of this, might have had some close up experience with those tactics! :-)

17. I don't speak for Anonymous but have some ideas.
Fox is the mouthpiece of the illegal government. The illegal government used its intelligence resources to create a redirect of DDOS actions into a sink, or sump pit.

Thus, the dog guards the worm, its favorite worm.

19. It was a tactic to test defenses and waste their time and
resources.

5. They omitted Bush v Gore. It's a great start.
I was posting that we need a new Declaration of Independence. I doubt they read my posts. I really want this to come to fruition. I want to shed much of our politicians like a reptile does it's skin. This is what I'm hoping results from the OWS movement.

21. I've learned new things from you.
Your posts tend to highlight perspectives I hadn't considered yet, and the humility with which you treat other posters is something I can only aspire to.

Thank you, friend.

8. Posted it on my blog
We need to share this everywhere and make it go viral.

One idea I had - print out copies and leave them in places where people who might not have internet connections shop and hang out.

9. waiting for Robin Hood hackers...
Edited on Sun Nov-06-11 05:40 PM by firehorse
but that's probably asking too much.

But it would be great for great American principles like "justice" if BP's profits for example actually went into cleaning up the environment they wrecked. Or if other large businesses lowered the CEO's salary and gave profit sharing to the grunts who did the work. One can dream.
