'Wake Up America!': Kucinich Tells DNC


rawstory.com
"Wake up America," Kucinich declared from the podium of the Democratic National Convention. "In 2001 the oil companies, the war contractors and the neocon-artists seized the economy and added $4 trillion of unproductive spending to the national debt. ... Trillions of dollars for an unnecessary war paid for with borrowed money."

Good luck to Kucinich to get 1 million signatures...His "deadline" time is fast approaching & he's still about 90% short. Hey, don't blame me...My signature is already on it!

My signature's also on the 7 petitions that
WTP sent up to the government over the past months & years...I think it's too late to get more signatures on those petitions though, because they've already been sent. Even if it's too late to sign any of them, they still make a good read, though. There were so many signatures that they had to be put on CD's...

Geez, DD...You keep coming up with lots of new stuff for ATS. How many hours do you spend every day just to sift through the news, anyway? I'll even bet that you use practice meditation to cut down on the sleep-time, don't you?



Edited to add: Ooops! I just found another thread about this same story that started the day before this thread...It's over here

That reminds me, does Ron Paul have plans to be at the RNC? I know he's hosting his own little convention, but I don't remember if he will still be at the RNC or not.

As far as "Wake up America!" goes, if only those words alone could actually wake some people up, we would be a lot better off by now. Too bad Kucinich was drowned out by everybody else.

Here's the direct imbed of the video from his speech:




Overall, a good speech which calls out many of the nightmarish problems, but like siestas alluded to, it unfortunately doesn't address the hugest issue of all: THAT THERE ARE NO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE PARTIES ANYMORE, and ALL OF THIS CONGRESS AND HOUSE, on BOTH SIDES. is COMPLETELY CORRUPT.

Kucinich and Paul should run on an independent ticket and call out this entire establishment---Unfortunately, as we have already seen, the Corpomedia would not allow that to occur...

Unfortunatly there is nothing we can do. We can sign petitions till we are blue in the face, the government isnt going to change. All government officials are somewhat corrupt. Nothing we can do about it.

i was just thinking about how, as much as i'd love to vote for a Paul/Kucinich ticket, Ron Paul's still a freemason, and i don't endorse Kucinich's using of the phrase "Wake up, America"...

if he REALLY wanted to have America wake up, he'd say more about FREE energy, and how there's a real science out there that can harness free energy from Earth's magnetic field and rotation. instead he addresses oil issues like they're the only foreseeable energy source, for at least a while, into the future. oil's still a fossil fuel and is heavily detrimental to our environment on all levels - it's time we, as a species, graduate from that caveman technology and use something slightly more complex than fire to power our transportational vessels.

my problem with his usage of the phrase, "Wake up, America", lies in the fact that people will think that what he's got to say, is all there is to wake up to. the fact is, is that he's still a politician working for our serpentile government, and there's a MUCH bigger picture behind the scenes that we're not "officially" privied to as citizens.

i'm sure most of you get an idea where i'm coming from, that being told to "wake up" these days usually means to open your eyes to the conspiratorial world of the truth about government, extra-terrestrial life in our uni/multi-verse, free energy, etc. - it does not mean beating around the bush about the real, important issues at hand. moreover, it seems Kucunich is a half-step away from trademarking that slogan...

I think Kucinich is much more aware than you realize.

Remember, he admitted to seeing a UFO on national TV. According to Steven Greer, Kucinich has been briefed by the Disclosure Project on UFOs/ETs. And I'm sure he's aware of the "free energy" issue as well.

I think that he knew he only had a few precious minutes of airtime, so he chose to speak about the issues that would resonate with the MOST people. He could have maybe spoken about ETs or free energy or 9/11 Truth - but that would have alienated (no pun intended) a lot of people....

thank you! to be honest i haven't followed Kucinich much at all, so i'm still learning about him. i guess i was just saying that our job is gonna be even harder if he DOESN'T mention the whole side of the story. our job, as in waking up the fine members of this planet to the real truth out there - that it's more than just what a government official says it is.
