As the government of brainwashed, drugged out, iphone addicted and thoroughly conditioned Americans rampages throughout the planet trying to spread democracy and keep everyone safe rule the world by murder, mayhem, and destruction, many wonder how the criminal mafia ruling class can get away with it's increasingly brazen crimes.

A big part of the "problem" is the ignorance of Americans to the real truth about their country, the wars, the government (it's not democracy), the flag, etc. Pretty much every important aspect of this country's history is whitewashed, obfuscated, ignored, altered, left out, and flat out lied about.

The result is a nation of citizens that allows it's government, and those controlling it (because we sure as hell don't) to not only run roughshod as the planet's bully but to unrelentingly govern in favor of the ruling class to the increasing detriment of the rest of us. The belief in the illusions created to justify and support illegal wars, imperialism, massive wealth inequality, oligarchy and plutocracy starts early in life because of the information we're fed.

I was discussing this issue with a young couple who are home schooling their children, more or less forced to because their daughter has Type II diabetes and requires insulin checks and shots every couple hours. I went on one of my typical Big Al rants on what we need to do to challenge the ruling class and institute real democracy, equality, fairness and justice in this country, and how we can stop the wars and destruction that seems to be heading for an all out nuclear holocaust.

They're typical Americans, not knowing shit about the real history. Smedley Butler, no. Gulf of Tonkin, no. The truth about Pearl Harbor, 9/11, the Constitution, World War I and II, the Native American genocide, the Iraq war, Syria war, Libya war, the Rwanda genocide, no. The estimated 20-50 million people killed by the United States since WWII, no. Hell no. They know what they were taught in grade, middle and high school and what they've weaned from the propaganda spewed daily from the oligarchy's corporate media.

It's no wonder is it?

But they became excited about what I was saying. They asked if it would be possible for someone like me to provide the real history to them so they could teach their children the truth. We discussed how history books are written, issued and disseminated throughout the U.S. school system, who really controls the content and what is pounded into our heads. They wondered if it was possible to provide "real" history books to them and others who are home schooling to assist them in raising their children as knowledgeable and enlightened humans.

Alternative history books. Good idea.

I had an idea like that years ago, a play off the old Chick comics that Jesus Freaks used to hand out back in the sixties. Back in the day at times, depending on where you lived, it was hard to go to a grocery store or restaurant without encountering a long haired, flower wearing hippie who wanted to hand you a little mini comic book and turn you on to Jesus.

My idea was to create our own mini comic books to hand out at malls, supermarkets, libraries, anywhere there passed unsuspecting lemmings ready to help us change the world. Tell them who Smedley Butler was and about the book he wrote, "War is a Racket". Tell them about the Kellogg-Briand Pact and educate them about he U.N Charter against illegal wars. Tell them about the Gulf of Tonkin incident and the criminality of the Vietnam war that has never been prosecuted for justice. Tell them the truth about the current U.S. wars in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, and our governments actions in places like Ukraine and Venezuela.

Try to reverse the brainwashed cult and turn them into soldiers for the Revolution. Knowledge is key.

Anything we try to do is going to take massive organization, participation and money. A revolution in that respect is no different than trying to start a new third party, or trying to build up a current third party. It takes elbow grease, funding, perseverance, planning, and organization. Nothing will come easy, it never has.

Alternative history books and mini comic books are just two of many examples the revolution's army can use to build momentum toward taking down the oligarchy/plutocracy that rules over We the People.
