The Opening of the Eyes

humpty has moved up to the wall & all the kings horses, men, soldiers, fighter planes and drones are focused on further strangling iran, they are denying a palestinian state they are backing the further settlements of israel they are focused on running for the throne of the empire in 2012 and as business as usual continues they march on as cogs in the disturbing, self-destructive machine which has not learned a thing from history. but the opening of the eyes within the empire at the civilian level is beginning to occur & people are finally in the streets people are throwing their fists in the air & the blood is pumping in this ceasing of the day--- one might even go so far as to say that some may in fact be ready to fight. if humpty & his men are still claiming that “what we have here, is a failure to communicate,” then they better get their megaphones & they better open their history books--- one should wonder if marie antoinette’s neck was sufficiently lotioned up when she went to the guillotine, or if the nicholas II (bloody nicholas) & his family were ready for what came to them in the ipatiev house that night in mid-july--- while the mainstream media are finally forced to cover what is happening, the fuse has been lit in other cities. when the eyes open, a person is able to look around & in this brilliant, beautiful and monumental moment, one can look to see others who have finally had enough whose eyes are now opened to and whose ambition is full of fire, intelligence & perseverance. this is happening.
