the viral protest

just how exactly will the boot come down

when the empire crushes the viral protest?

with every single action taking place

being broadcasted on the web via

cell phone cameras & independent media

footage,

this will not be like anything before seen

within the borders of this corrupted country

whose system is rotten to the

core---

rather,

it will set a new standard for the kind of

aggression that any state will thwart upon its own people

in order to sustain

dominance.

 

chemicals that you’ve never seen will be sprayed upon

those that were once sprayed with only pepper spray---

people will be lucky if they are only riddled with rubber

bullets,

as the real artillery is locked &

loaded---

and we’ll see it on the screens

we’ll hold it in our hands

we’ll utilize every aspect of the net to communicate amidst the

madness,

until that moment when even that is

eliminated.

 

this revolution IS televised

it’s very power exists in its ability to exploit every single swing of the

baton,

so as to not be slipped underneath the carpet

like so many before---

and regardless of where this goes

regardless of how many are hurt or killed in this

attempt to scream for our rights

within the realm of the disgustingly wealthy 1%,

what needs to be understood is that

when the boot comes down

it will ring throughout the world

like a gong in the ear of those sleeping or

attempting to go to sleep---

it will only awaken more.
