What Foreigners Need to Know About USA

leaders wait for the people to learn, to organize and prepare. The leaders and many activists hope that a crisis of capitalism or of the environment will bring down (or fully discredit ) the rich – or weaken them enough that war will not be necessary.

This is a message to the women and Los Indios in Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru – and all those who sincerely defend these long oppressed people of the Andes. I applaud you... I love you. For many decades and even centuries you have struggled through waves of imperialism and elitism (una sopa mala de racismo y puro fascismo).

Everything that you need to know about how bad everything is in the West (El Norte) and how dire is the condition of Pacha Mama (and the millions of endangered species and peoples) is presented below.

We need you to be strong and victorious – we need you to save us from ourselves – The movements for change in the North are very weak and divided – few will give money or effort to your cause – This is sad but I believe that you no longer need us. You must go on alone to battle. Buena suerte y mucho mas...


Everything That You need to Know About the World: Death to the Capitol of Capital
By peacepixels (at) rock.com


1. A few million evil rich people have set up an economic system that supports about a billion people well while it dooms the other 5 billion and the whole ecology of a planet to misery, lies and death.


2. Billions of people are rising up in the Arab and Moslem worlds; in Latin America and in other regions.


3. Everyone is learning fast, but most leaders and even radical governments hold the people back from moving too quickly to war. These leaders wait for the people to learn, to organize and prepare. The leaders and many activists hope that a crisis of capitalism or of the environment will bring down (or fully discredit ) the rich – or weaken them enough that war will not be necessary.


4. These "go-slow" leaders are probably wrong. The USA/capitalist elite are much stronger and more ruthless than imaginable – they could kill off half of the planet in a week and hardly blink. And they will unless someone (or everyone) strikes them and the infrastructure of their system hard right before the first signs of collapse. Few writers understand time and without time, timing is more difficult to grasp or execute – yet still most important.


5. In the West (USA-EU Empire(s)) the times of education and debate about the What To Fight For, have ended. Words are deaf and one’s ears can't hear anything useful above the crash of so many things and dreams and hopes. The time of recruiting warriors and their support groups is almost over. The final planning for how to fight is finishing up. All that is left to do from within the West is Guerrillaism – a desperate struggle to stop the rich and their hundreds of millions of supporters from chocking off and crushing the people of the South who are determined to rise up and to be free. A fight to the death commences against the Hella USA! – a military and surveillance domination machine more fearsome than all previous evils combined. The Rules of War (and the lessons) are much different than the game of activism and safe civil disobedience.


6. Nation States no longer exist (under the WTO regime or among most indigenous leaders’ views) or in our understanding of how the final struggle will unfold. An important effort for activists everywhere is to help people see the need to reject materialism and consumer fads because they are not sustainable and lead to wars and expectations of ever more consumption. The future is either one global Wall Mart or one where basic goods are sold in small open markets. Through communiqués in the West and demonstration projects in liberated zones, activists can explain how building community, regional cooperation and eco-social security are much more important – and fun! – than greed.


7. In the poor countries the masses will line up firmly behind THE REVOLUTION, but not in the wealthy countries. In the USA the vast majority of people will line up behind fascist programs - domestic and international - as they do now and have always done. Only this time it will be much worse for all of us... Much worse

8. Wherever THE REVOLUTON wins, wherever people fighting the USA hold the land in solidarity, a great rejuvenation of the human spirit will explode all fears away. Never again need we fear totalitarianism from the Left – or ultimately from fundamentalist Islam either. Once free and empowered the people everywhere will express themselves sincerely and petty arguments will no longer hold them back or confuse. People Power will for once be real and invincible for many people sense that this is the Final Big War – the rich against the poor. And so they will all make the best of a hard won and difficult victory. Overcrowding, the ecological crisis and the impossibility of governing people will make decentralization a fact.


9. A general warning: If you live near an ocean, you must plan to relocate inland to areas at least 50 feet above sea level – 100 feet in stormy areas. Plan to move to areas that are not near coastal mega-cities or in the path of their relocation areas. Littorals are also high priority targets for the imperialist invader forces.

"Everything is made with slave labor."
The capitalist system is the most lethal system in human history."
"The system of global capitalism and structural adjustment policies have killed 21 million Africans since 1980." "This is the true terror – Poverty. The terror of poverty of hunger is the greatest there is. Those in poverty don't fear a gun as much as having nothing to eat." My question is well in Vietneam, Cuba and Venezuela (Bolivia) they have destroyed the system = now what do they do...?
