First
they came for the Communists and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t
a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t
a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because
I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and
I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, but by that time, no one was left to speak
up. --Pastor Martin Niemoeller, Nazi Germany
Complaining is not good enough any more.
Running is no longer an option because soon there will be nowhere
to run. It is time to lift the arse (that's "ass" or "Bush" to Americans)
from the chair and let's stop sitting down and taking this shit.
People can bombard the radio phone-ins with another version of reality
and when they cut you off get back again and again; tell everyone
you know where they can get information to give them another fix
on what is really happening; send this and other articles on these
subjects to everyone you know through e-mail, fax, or post; organise
PEACEFUL protests against the fascist state whenever freedoms are
threatened; get people together at meetings to discuss and assimilate
information the media will not tell you; LOSE FEAR AND BE IRREVERENT
IN THE FACE OF THIS ARROGANT DICTATORSHIP. IT CAN ONLY SURVIVE IF
WE ARE FRIGHTENED OF IT AND INTIMIDATED BY IT.
