(Letter to the Ruling Class, Jesse Ventura, former
governor of Minnesota (USA), blog 31 March, 2011.)
"You
control our world. You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water
we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in your wars, die for your
causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you. You’ve liquidated our
savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout your
unending greed. We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves,
servants to your decadence. You’ve stolen our elections, assassinated our
leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. You own our property,
shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. You’ve profited off of
disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living. You’ve
monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost
extinguished our flame. We are hit… we are bleeding… but we ain’t got time to
bleed. We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our
revolution!
Sincerely,
The
Serfs."
