Speaking truth to power, is a revolutionary act
not doing what is expected is a revolutionary act

In a society so carefully controlled as ours, biking instead of driving, and dropping your consumption to the minimum required to survive is a revolutionary act.

Not watching the MSM is a revolutionary act

Taking action, is a revolutionary act

That is all

1. Indeed.
That is not all, that is EVERYTHING that we can be, we have been and we need to be again. we had 8 years of killing truth with *power*, that time is done.

Thank you.

2. You welcome and lets see how many of us have acted
me use a bike as much as I can now... and drive as little or I can

Buy what I need, not what i can.

And I speak truth to power as often as I can

4. When I tell the truth on a one-to-one basis, I get punished or harassed.
