From the horrid killing of Trayvon Martin to the attempted rape of Planned Parenthood, we are challenged to remain focused on the system and policy makers responsible for said system. It is that system and those policy makers that has created these current controversies. As America and the world struggles against a total economic collapse, its inevitable many will look to convenient targets for their plight, while others will scrape for bones and snap at anyone threatening their cut of the crumbs. 


At the street level, people will continue to splinter over race, gender and religion while a united elite quietly fades into the background where their scheming and conniving can go on unabated and most importantly unnoticed.


We think its important not to lose sight of the issues that link us while being besieged by those that separate. Americans may have lost their way during this 2012 election process, as social issues concerning race, gender and religion have dramatically shifted the national narrative. Months ago, the world was riveted on confronting the economic realities and inequities that's destroyed America's middle class and continue to force millions into living with long term debt and near hopeless impoverishment.

Hope being eroded to just another four letter word, the minions began to rise up and challenge the status quo on their own terms. With no political party affiliation or identification, the 99% and Occupy Movements channeled their energies directly on the systems and policy makers responsible for the gradual but steady decline of the American citizen's prospects for upward mobility. Linking with faces and voices from around the world through an organically grown universal cause, the people were taking a united stand against the emergence of a plutocratic power structure.


Ever since the Arab Spring lit the flames of populace movements in the United States, "the elites" have made every effort to change the national conversation from the one issue that unites all Americans to a smorgasbord of divisive issues. With the table so full of juicy hot button issues, its bound to whet the individual's appetite for their favorite personal peeves to battle.


On the other hand, the elites, the privileged and the multi national Corps. simple will empower "their" Congress' and Parliaments worldwide, to legislate favorable tax rates while allowing the savaging of domestic spending on miscellanies like healthcare, education and public safety. No matter what issues are thrown in your way, you must remain focused on the true culprits behind the chaotic inequities in your lives.
