WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

"All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come" -- Victor Hugo



In 2011: Over $2 Trillion reported in military expenditures. Over 6.9 million children die from hunger-related diseases.

The GLOBAL quality of life is on a continual decline as food and resource prices continue to increase.

Corruption and injustice plague our world; NOW more than ever.

You are merely playing the role of a consumer in this system, like cattle to the corporations and world banks.

Is this the life that you imagined; a life of servitude to a system that thrives on obedience and self-promoted consumption?



Ladies and Gentlemen:

There really isn't much reason to beat around the bush, I imagine. By now you've noticed the manipulation and bias within the media. You've watched as your government has sold you down the river. Corporations have buried their money under your politics and now influence the decisions of your governments. The banks continue to grow more ruthless and unethical in practice; all in the name of profit. Your future - your children's future - it means nothing to them. The only desired outcome is maximum profit obtained with the least possible expense. And whether you want to admit this to yourself or not, your already knew this. Is this what it's come to? A price tag on life, a world coercing with greed; intoxicated on monetary gain and material conquest. Why have we allowed this? Ladies and gentlemen, these are the questions you should be asking yourselves.



The world around us has been manipulated; coerced in a direction where human life is outweighed by profit. Corporations and bankers now influence the policies, regulations, and even the decisions made by our own governments who have sold us down the river. They took our dreams, our futures. They took them from you, from all of us, and in their own arrogant, condescending fashion, they expect you to roll over and accept it. They pass, into law, further restrictions on your personal rights and freedoms. They want you to shut up and keep quiet; keep you alone and all of us divided. Marketing has you chasing an image, telling you what you need to do, what to think and say, how to feel, how to dress; how to be YOU! Who are you!? Do you even know? Can you honestly tell me that you are happy with life as it is defined for you? Open your eyes it's all out right in front of you. Stop trusting these crooked politicians. They don't care about you. THEY DON'T CARE! The will of the people is not a profitable investment. All the while you've chased the dream life they've created for you, waving it in front of you like a carrot on a stick. STOP IT! Stop being guided through life. We need to quit letting the decisions of a few control the lives of the many. We need to take our future - our children's future - back into our hands.

When did we become so careless, so reckless, apathetic, and submissive? When did we lose our connection with others, with community and family? Stop focusing on the differences and start acknowledging and building upon our common grounds. Start sharing, connecting; teaching one another and learning from each another as well. Build our bonds as HUMAN BEINGS! Find your STRENGTHin unity. Find your VOICE, and then let it be heard! Because, my friends, what you have to say does matter. We just need to get off our knees, stand on our own two feet and remind them just how much we do matter.



Become the change you want to see. Build the future together, a decent future. A future where life is cherished, rather than spent worshiping money; where justice, fairness, and liberty is doctrine. A world invested in education, ingenuity, and creativity, rather than war and conquest. Rid yourself of your cynicism, your ego, your fear. Instead, open your hearts, your minds, your eyes; broaden your horizons. Respect other for their own opinions, just as you can expect it the same in return. It's time to change our ways, to evolve, and break free of this vicious cycle. It's time to educate ourselves on the issues affecting us, and work together to create progressive, effective solutions.

Welcome to the future.
