Can We Pull Together A Nationwide Action Like This?

Here's an idea for a nationwide protest and act of civil disobedience: If there comes to be another round of Quantitative Easing aka free $Trillion$ to "bailout" the financial sector from crashing, then all Americans should stop paying their credit cards. Simple. It's not a tax protest. It's credit cards. Financial Criminals got all that money for nothing they can just forget about the $10K you "owe" them or whatever. In fact if there comes to be another round of Q E everyone should also mail a letter or send an email telling the creditor what's happening. Maybe enclose it in the monthly statement envelope. 

"Dear Sir or Madam- Since the US Government gives you free money forever and the US Justice Department will not prosecute you for a single financial crime and because you are Too Big To Fail then you don't need any of my measly few couple thousand so bug off you'll never get another cent from me. sincerely the People"

 
How long have the big "primary lender"/ too big to fail financial institutions been getting the sweet Q E? well they shouldn't get another dime from you or me.  

There is a funny article here that might get you good and mad: https://libertyroadmedia.wordpress.com/2016/04/19/conspiracy-fact-actual-proof-that-banks-create-money-out-of-nothing-part-1/
which references this serious analysis here: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1057521914001070

Just a thought I had. Of course it would have to happen en masse, everyone at once. Make it a sensation across the nation! A spectacle that cannot be ignored. And a great way for ALL Americans to Come Together again united against injustice. Seriously, screw the credit card creditors they are a sham. Makes me think of that Henry Ford quote:

"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

American Revolution: it's starts in Black and White

This is the first stage of my master copy of the famous painting Washington Crossing the Delaware ... It's my condensed approximation of the "High Venetian" style as practiced by painters like Bassano and Veronese and the like before it moved on to France in late 17th and 18th century ... So this is step one ... acrylic on canvas. On my palette is a pile of white, a pile of mixed brown-black color, and in between is a pile of middle grey tint of the two ... with that ready then I go at it aiming to lay down the simple essence of the design knowing that I'll get the nuance in a later stage

Washington Crossing the Delaware, oil on canvas, 24 by 36 Alex Schaefer




I will be making a new copy of this American classic tomorrow as a means of instruction for painting students. stage one: monochrone acrylic  I'll be bringing a blank canvas and an ample quantity of white, black, and a middle grey tint mixed of the two. I chopped out a slap dash wacked out brushy glazey mess of this before, it's time for another. Is this the original #Brexit? ahahhahahaha!

Chase Burning

This gif is just too good to be true. The roof is on fire folks. Too Big To Fail became Too Big To Jail. When Crime is the Corporate Model, then where do we go with Civil Disobedience? Burn Chase, Burn...
