Every political and social revolution begins with a radical underground of committed activists, who work tirelessly for radical change, either in civil rights, politics, environmental, or social changes creating and demanding laws to protect people and defend their Constitutional Rights. Since the beginning of the twenty first century, and the disputed election of G.W. Bush, 911, rise in Terrorism and war and genocide in the Middle East, the radical underground began to wake up from its dormancy of the prior two decades of the eighties and nineties. 2000 was the time of the Internet and the creation of the individual personal computer and the advent of social media. An activist in the 20th century relied on word of mouth, print media or major protests. During the sixties and seventies activists relied on their own publications. I remember many circulars and newsletters being handed out in festivals and concerts and on college campuses. Radio was for music. television was for sitcoms, stand up comedians, weekly western series,The Ed Sullivan Show, and Walter Cronkite’s CBS nightly news.
The Baby Boomer generation grew up on steroids and sugar, pumped into us by cereal companies and meat producers, vaccine and pharmaceutical companies, alcohol and cigarette companies, pesticide companies and fast food restaurants. Coca Cola versus Pepsi, both with 26 teaspoons of sugar, per 12 oz can. All of these are perfect ingredients for creating heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Baby Boomers burned out and got addicted to greed, sugar, fast food and corrupt,incompetent government.
I am a Baby Boomer . We have become a generation of hypocrites and technocrats, nurtured by greed, junk food, drugs, divorce ,pornography, and addiction. Our Woodstock Vision of hope and peace for the future turned into Wall Street and Real Estate ripoffs, materialism and militarism, government and corporate collusion and incompetence. We are poor stewards to the generations that followed us, who are our own children and grand children. They are the real losers of our generation’s great mistakes. I am surprised by the great numbers of Millennials who support Bernie Sanders, as opposed to the Baby Boomers who support Hillary, Cruz or Trump.
I had an analysis done on my website traffic since June of 2015, when I announced my write in candidacy for President. I was amazed to find that I received 27 million visitors since 6/15 – 1/16. 60% of my audience is from the U.S. 90% are between the ages of 18 – 45, which are Millennials and Generation X , these are the generations of Radicals and social changers . These are the demographic groups that create social and political changes. They run countries and companies, they are doctors and lawyers, professors, computer wizards. owners and managers of companies, and corporations. I believe my audience is The World Wide Radical Underground. They are ready to take over the world and already have , they are just not organized and don’t know their power yet. Idiots and thieves have ruled the world for too long. It is time to take a stand against them by, organizing and revolutionizing everyone, until the Radical Underground moves above ground. This is the only way that billions of people currently oppressed and dominated by thousands, can overcome their isolation and fear, by knowing that each individual activist has millions of friends, who will defend him, aid and support him or her. How else can we fight the Terror of ISIS, or the brutal dictatorships that murder and mame all political opponents? Radicals around the world must be assured that millions of activists are ready and able to fight with them on just causes. WE must reject all hatred and insults against us, and forge together, into the ascension of righteousness for the world. We can trust with friendship, all who respect one another, and are willing to share responsibly and compassionately the world’s vast resources, feeding and teaching themselves and others, respecting the caregivers of the land, and the science of fact not politics.
