Hasta La Victoria Siempre

Quite stunning is the resemblance between todays efforts to defend our civil liberties and the efforts taken by out forefathers in the early and mid 1700’s. Protesting the taxed British imports and defending the North American coast against arriving British fleets, the colonists managed to repeal many of the Acts put upon them. Currently, “nonviolent activists attempt to physically block a shipment of Stryker military vehicles, returning from Iraq, from unloading off the Port of Olympia, Washington to be refitted and sent back to the war. Police in riot gear have responded with violence and chemical weapons. Resistance to the war machine continues to grow” (Dobyns, SDS). Daily arrests for the activists only strengthen their resistance, and administrative efforts attempt to block off citizen access to the Port of Olympia.

What could we do as a people to initiate the new revolution? Protesters in Olympia have made notable statements to the police force indicating that their tendency to use chemical weapons on them is is similar to the acts of Saddam Hussein. Contributive retaliation could form in reflection of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense or Ernesto (Che) Guevara de la Serna’s Guerrilla Army. Trained and educated medical physicians and law graduates initiated non-profit medical offices, servicing citizens of low income or no income at all. Military brigades were established to espouse professional protest, and trained reform.

The notable developments of these parties made history, and progressively intervened government intention. The Black Panthers greatly contributed to the achievement of universal recognition for African American rights. Guevara, with his predecessor Fidel Castro, successfully took over Cuba, and implemented a Marxist regime that took homelessness off the streets and the sick into hospitals.

Locke would tell us that is is time for us as a people to rectify our restraining government, and to activate amendment in the reformation of institutions. How can we do this? We must band together as a nation of oppressed, and we must instigate change. In defense against the health care corporations insuring only the affluent and healthy, we must create medical clinics, aiding those who are victims of the insurance segregations demise.

We must create an organized and fully trained militia to defend our civil liberties and our critical need to gain expression. We must initiate physical force to gain recognition, as the police state utilizes physical force. We as a nation may revolutionize our oppression. We as a people can gain a national voice, and only through our unity and consensual objective, we may indite a lasting impression and reform our government.
