Amiri Baraka: As a student, they fill you with ruling class ideology not because you’re going to be part of the ruling class, but so you fight to the death for them. You’re being prepared to enter the “middle class”, to explain to people why the system can’t be changed.

Patrick: What happens when the courts come after you because you said something that the ruling class didn’t like? That’s what these other countries are all about. They shut down the ruling class. They want to be sure that anyone who speaks up against ruling class disappears Reporter. Isn’t the former president a member of the ruling class?

Refugees are not vikings coming to rape and pillage. They are human beings - equal to you and me - and should be treated as such. Bashing refugees hurts them, demeans us and serves the interests of the ruling class. That's why the billionaire-owned media does it.

Hard work used to be enough. It's not anymore. In my lifetime, we have watched the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the ruling class in the history of this nation. They stole from us. And we're taking back what's ours.

It's scary to me how much the liberal movement has been hicked by the enemies of Western civilization. Their goal is to dismantle our society so they can rule over the ashes. But our freedom is sacred because it comes from GOD, not government. That is why surrender is simply not an option.

📌 "...I don't mean the PEOPLE, but there is an elite class in #Tigray, who do not want peace. I don't believe the ruling elite want peace, I don't believe they want development. I believe they want a system, based on war and exploitation. This is not only just #TPLF. This is a fundamental problem of most elites in #Tigray. They are not interested in a need for investment, a need to be productive....this problem encompasses large portion of the TPLF ruling class, the intellectual class, the influencers, the activists...all of them..." ~ Semhal Meles Zenawi Credit :- Tghat ትግሃት Full 👉 Excerpt 👇

Oligarchs are waging a war on the working class, and they are intent on winning. But this is what I know: The worst fear that the ruling class in this country has is that Americans come together to demand a government that represents all of us, not just the wealthy few.

Listen as the CEO of starbucks tries to justify a $9 cup of coffee. There is no group of people in the world who is more out of touch than the US ruling class. They are insulated from the decay their greed is causing but they aren’t insulated from the revolution that’s brewing!

"The Israelis are aware that for all of the strength they are manifesting against Iran, that manifestation is not coming from a position of strength. Instead, it is coming from a position of weakness. It is a manifestation of hysteria over the idea they might actually be losing"
