Another great speech by Neil Oliver. Yes, where are those political candidates that represent the interests of the people and not the bankers and corporations? Anyone looking on would think the government is just an arm of industry.

Exactly, Amanda, and not just an 'arm,' but the armed arm!

The arm with arrest power, detention power, financial power, investigative power, judicial power, force of violence power.

We will eventually be required to remind them that they do not have a monopoly on the force of violence power.

And of course that will bring the comment "But then you would be just as bad as them."

To which I would say "I'm OK with that."

While I am all about the 'peaceful protest' power of the people, we must have our 'options.'

Otherwise, the power of peaceful protest is totally nullified.

Four hundred thousand peaceful people can elicit change.

Four hundred thousand people with arms, will elicit change.

The 'Elites' must be made to understand that difference.

It needs to be done before the car and truck bombs, not after.

Exactly! The government is the armed arm of the fascist elites that run each country. Government is the enemy of the people.

"If we’ve got Downing Street, or The Only Way is Westminster, our cousins stateside seem to have Breaking Baddest."

Well said Neil.
