	We have endured financial oppression for long enough. In a time of national 
	crisis and shared sacrifice, the richest one-tenth of one percent of the 
	population cannot continue on their merry way, living in obscene wealth and 
	detached from reality, while the majority of the population desperately 
	struggles to make ends meet. 
	
	 
	
	We are under attack, and it’s time to fight 
	back.
 
	
	mmmmmmm
	
	 
	
	I work over 60 hours a week and still barely 
	make ends meet. Increased costs of living and thousands of dollars in 
	medical bills have made me and my family move three times in the past three 
	years to downsize and cut living expenses.
	
	 
	
	I’m certainly not alone in this dire economic 
	situation, tens of millions of Americans are fighting this daily war to keep 
	their family fed and healthy with a roof over their head.
	
	In fact, as long as I can keep up this intensive work schedule at my current 
	income level, I’m actually better off than many Americans. Over
	
	46 million Americans are currently relying 
	on food stamps to feed their family, over 50 million can’t afford health 
	care,
	
	62 million have zero or negative net worth 
	and 64% of Americans have less than $1000 
	saved. 
	
	 
	
	As the economic downturn begins to accelerate 
	once again, the majority of the population, which has been struggling for 
	over three years now, is going to be pushed to a breaking point.
	
	Meanwhile, in this time of national crisis, as we keep hearing calls for 
	“shared sacrifice,” tens of trillions of dollars are consolidated within the 
	hands of the economic top one-tenth of one percent of the population. 
	
	 
	
	This unprecedented consolidation of wealth 
	continues unabated, as we now have the most severe inequality of wealth in 
	American history. U.S. millionaire households now have over
	
	$46 trillion in wealth, yet only one-tenth 
	of one percent of the population makes over
	
	$1 million per year.
	
	Let me be clear, I don’t fault a person for being rich. If you are great at 
	what you do and work hard, you should be financially better off than people 
	who slack off, are bad at what they do and don’t work hard. Almost all 
	Americans agree with that. However, the problem we currently have is that 
	people who are extremely bad at what they do are now all too often the 
	people who have the most money. 
	
	 
	
	For example, the very people who caused this 
	economic crisis have profited off of it and are now among the
	
	richest people in the world.
	
	The reality of our current crisis is that we now have an
	
	aristocracy in this country that lives 
	beyond the rule of law. They have used their wealth to rig the government 
	and the economy. Through campaign finance, lobbying and the revolving door 
	between Washington and the most powerful global corporations, the world’s 
	richest people have now effectively rigged the system against hardworking 
	Americans. 
	
	 
	
	This economic crisis is the result of a 
	deliberate systemic looting engineered by the global financial elite. To 
	attempt to dismiss this reality as some unproven conspiracy theory is to 
	display a stunning level of ignorance.
	
	Just look at the bailout of Wall Street: trillions of dollars in national 
	wealth were given to the people who engaged in
	
	fraudulent activity and crashed the 
	economy. They then used the public’s wealth to give themselves all-time 
	record-breaking bonuses. 
	
	 
	
	And now, while the rich people who caused this 
	crisis have never been richer, the government is giving them
	
	tax breaks and cutting vital programs that 
	we need to keep our society functioning. To say that America has descended 
	into a neo-feudal banana republic is not using bombastic rhetoric or 
	hyperbole, it is a technical fact to anyone who spends time analyzing our 
	current economic and socio-political condition.
	
	As our society is incrementally and steadily deteriorating, millions of 
	people are growing more desperate by the day. 
	
	 
	
	American families can no longer remain passive 
	when under such a prolonged and ongoing economic attack. We literally can’t 
	afford to. Clearly, this is a highly unsustainable and dangerous situation 
	that cannot continue for much longer. A small fraction of society has 
	systemically robbed the country and destroyed the economic future of the 
	majority of the population. 
	
	 
	
	As more people realize this, and as desperate 
	times continue, the mega-wealthy will eventually reap what they have sown.
	
	To understand our future prospects, we just need to look at the civil unrest 
	that is currently spreading throughout the world. The same people who robbed 
	America have also robbed many other countries. People worldwide who have 
	been pushed into severe poverty are rebelling because they have no other 
	choice. It’s either fight back or let your family die a slow death. 
	
	 
	
	The massive protests and riots that have swept 
	from Cairo to London are just the first wave of a tsunami of rebellion and 
	unrest that, if the present course is not urgently and significantly 
	changed, is sure to hit America soon.
	
	Even the Wall Street friendly press, such as Market Watch, are publishing 
	reports
	
	like this one from veteran journalist 
	Paul B. Farrell:
	
	 
	
		
		“What a year. Rage in London, Egypt, Athens, 
		Damascus…
		Warning: More rage is dead ahead. 
		Across our planet a new generation is filled with rage. High 
		unemployment. Raging inflation. Dreams lost. Hope gone. While the 
		super-rich get richer and richer.
		
		Listen to that hissing: The fuse is rapidly burning, warning us. Wake up 
		before the rage explodes in your face. This firestorm is endangering 
		America’s future….
		
		Super-rich addicts are destroying the American Dream for everyone. 
		They’re destroying the American economy. They don’t care about you. Yes, 
		they hear the ticking time bomb. They’re stockpiling cash. Don’t say you 
		weren’t warned. The IMF sees a new collapse sweeping across the planet. 
		Open your eyes. You’re not watching a film. This is not a metaphor.
		
		 
		
		Plan now for the revolution, class warfare, 
		market crash, economic collapse, plan for another depression.”
	
	
	
	
	Contagion of Global 
	Unrest Spreads Worldwide
	
	Unfortunately, as we see
	
	spreading throughout the world, the 
	blacklash by impoverished and economically disenfranchised people is already 
	taking a violent turn for the worse. 
	
	 
	
	All throughout the UK, which is economically 
	comparable to many American states, financially oppressed people have 
	resorted to rioting and looting. While the fallout and financial loss from 
	these riots have only been a small fraction of the economic looting global 
	bankers have inflicted upon the British population, it is horrifying to see.
	
	
	 
	
	The popular German news outlet Der Spiegel 
	recently featured
	
	this article:
	
	 
	
		
		A Society on the Verge of a Meltdown
		“The riots in London are a social 
		Fukushima for the Western world. Should we really be surprised that an 
		increase in wealth for just a few, accompanied by simultaneous 
		impoverishment of the masses, could not continue unabated?…
		
		But with all due respect, the only thing astonishing here is the actual 
		astonishment. Who really thought it could simply go on indefinitely like 
		this? Who believed there would be no consequences to the increase of 
		obscene wealth for a few while impoverishment simultaneously plagued the 
		masses. Wealth disparity is no accident…
		 
		
		We famously learn little from history. But 
		if we take one thing from the Weimar era it should be this: The res 
		publica amissa, or the neglected polity, will fail in the end.”
	
	
	John Pilger, an award-winning 
	London-based journalist, summed up the riots in
	
	this report:
	
	 
	
		
		Damn it or fear it, the forbidden truth is an 
		insurrection in Britain
		“Such is the truth of [UK Prime 
		Minister] David Cameron’s ‘sick society’, notably its sickest, most 
		criminal, most feral ‘pocket’: the square mile of the City of London 
		where, with political approval, the banks and super-rich have trashed 
		the British economy and the lives of millions. 
		 
		
		This is fast becoming unmentionable as we 
		succumb to propaganda once described by the American black leader 
		Malcolm X thus: ‘If you’re not careful the newspapers will have you 
		hating the oppressed and loving the people doing the oppressing.’”
	
	
	Phil Rockstroh exposed the corporate 
	mainstream media’s biased reporting in
	
	this article:
	
		 
		
		Life in an Age Of Looting
		“According to the 
		through-the-looking-glass cosmology of mass media elitists, when a poor 
		person commits a crime of opportunity, his actions are a threat to all 
		we hold dear and sacred, but, when the hyper-wealthy of the entrenched 
		looter class abscond with billions, those criminals are referred to as 
		our financial leaders.
		
		Regardless of the propaganda of ‘free market’ fantasists, the great 
		unspeakable in regard to capitalism is its wealth, by and large, is 
		generated for a ruthless, privileged few by the creation of bubbles, 
		and, when those bubbles burst, the resultant economic catastrophe 
		inflicts a vastly disproportionate amount of harm upon those - the 
		laboring and middle classes - who generate grossly inequitable amounts 
		of capital for the elitist of the fraudster class… by having the life 
		force drained from them by the vampiric set-up of the gamed system.”
	
	
	Even in Germany, which has a better economic 
	situation than most other European countries, people are burning
	
	luxury “fat cat” cars.
 
	
		
		Arsonists Torch Mercedes, BMWs in Berlin Protests
		“Arsonists have set fire to 26 cars 
		in the German capital in the last two days, mainly from Daimler AG (DAI)’s 
		Mercedes, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW) and Volkswagen AG (VOW)’s 
		Audi, police said today. 
		 
		
		That brings the total number torched this 
		year in Berlin to at least 138, more than double the figure for all of 
		2010…
		
		‘The arsonists want to hit what they say are ‘Fat Cats,’’ Berlin police 
		spokesman Michael Gassen said. A special unit is investigating the fires 
		as political crimes after the police received letters claiming 
		responsibility that derided globalization, gentrification and rising 
		rents, he said.”
	
	
	Israel is another financially “better off” 
	nation that has seen massive protests. Hundreds of thousands of people 
	throughout the country have been protesting the “high cost of living.”
	
	
	 
	
	Some protesters even brought out a functioning 
	guillotine on a street named after an infamous banking family. 
	
	 
	
	As Washington’s Blog
	
	summed it up:
	
		
		“Indeed, these pictures from Israeli 
		protests on 
		Rothschild Boulevard last week show 
		that people worldwide are getting sick and tired of the wealthiest 
		acting like despotic kings:”
	
	
	mmm
	
	 
	
	This past weekend,
	
	over 430,000 people protested throughout 
	Israel in the country’s largest demonstration ever. 
	
	 
	
	This week, hundreds of thousands of workers went 
	on strike in
	
	Italy and Spain. In Greece, yet another 
	country that has been looted by the same people that have robbed the U.S., 
	they have seen increasingly violent protests. There have been many
	
	violent clashes with the police. They even
	
	blew up JP Morgan offices and have 
	repeatedly attacked the
	
	Ministry of Finance in Athens.
	
	Throughout the world
	
	the situation is the same: 
	
		
		rising costs of living, rampant poverty and 
		unemployment, lower income and increasingly dire economic prospects for 
		the overwhelming majority of citizens, while 0.1% of the population, the 
		people who caused this economic crisis, are richer than ever.
	
	
	Unfortunately, most of the American public has 
	been propagandized and they still do not fully comprehend this blatant 
	reality. U.S. corporate television “news” has blinded much of the U.S. 
	public to this highly volatile situation.
	
	The saddest part is that we know how to
	
	begin fixing this problem, yet common sense 
	steps are not being taken. We can start by breaking up the “too big to fail” 
	banks that hold us hostage and hold their top executives accountable. We can 
	also end the 
	system of political bribery that allows the mega-wealthy to control our 
	political processes through campaign finance, lobbying and the revolving 
	door. 
	
	 
	
	Those are the first steps that absolutely need 
	to be taken. Anyone who spends time researching our political and economic 
	system will come to these obvious conclusions. These are common sense steps 
	that are in the interests of 99.9% of the population.
	
	However, with the U.S. public so marginalized, confused and unaware of basic 
	political reality, it appears these changes will not happen. 
	
	 
	
	Therefore, based on much empirical and 
	statistical evidence, our society will soon descend into outbursts of 
	rioting and violence.
 
	
	 
	
	
	Preparing for Civilian 
	Unrest, the Crackdown in the U.S.
	
	Major U.S. cities are getting ready for the blacklash by preparing their 
	police force riot squads. 
	
	 
	
	New York City, the financial capital of the 
	world, is a geographically clustered region that is home to millions of poor 
	people - significantly large populations in highly impoverished 
	neighborhoods are only a stones throw away from Wall Street. 
	
	 
	
	As this
	
	recent report reveals, the New York City 
	Police Department is urgently preparing for unrest:
 
	
		
		In wake of British riots, New York police prepare for 
		unrest
		“New York police anti-riot units 
		assembled last week at a training facility on Randall’s Island to 
		prepare for an outbreak of civil unrest similar to those that have 
		occurred recently in Britain.
		 
		
		The August 12 ‘mobilization exercises’ 
		brought together police from all five of the city’s boroughs, including 
		specialized units such as mounted police and aviation.
		
		The riot training was held just days after the New York City Police 
		Department (NYPD) announced the formation of a new ‘juvenile justice 
		unit,’ which is to include detachments of cops assigned to troll 
		Internet social media sites like Facebook and Twitter in search of any 
		indication of impending disturbances….
		
		The training mobilization of the NYPD, however, makes it more than clear 
		that the ruling elite on the other side of the Atlantic is quite 
		conscious that the conditions of social inequality, poverty, police 
		abuse and attacks on social services and conditions that exist in both 
		Britain and America can trigger an explosion in New York City.
		
		In terms of income distribution, New York City, the capital of the U.S. 
		financial sector, is the most unequal major city in the U.S. and is 
		among the most unequal cities in the world. According to recent figures, 
		the city’s top 1 percent monopolizes 44 percent of income. 
		 
		
		The city’s boundaries encompass both Wall 
		Street, where top executives rake in salaries and bonuses amounting to 
		hundreds of millions of dollars, and the Bronx, the poorest county in 
		the country. If it were a country, New York City would be one of the 
		most unequal in the world, ranking between Chile and Honduras.
		
		Sitting atop this social powder-keg is Mayor Michael Bloomberg, one of 
		the richest of New York City’s 58 billionaires….
		
		The combination of stark social inequality, depression-level 
		unemployment in many city neighborhoods, ever-escalating budget cuts and 
		relentless police harassment are creating the conditions for a social 
		eruption in America’s largest city.” 
	
	
	Violence is on the rise throughout New York 
	City. 
	
	 
	
	Over Labor Day weekend,
	
	48 people were shot and killed in a rash of 
	random shootings. New York is far from the only city in the country to be in 
	imminent danger of mass civil unrest and increasing violence. Nine major 
	U.S. cities currently have a poverty rate over the critical threshold of 
	25%. 
	
	 
	
	As the economic downturn once again accelerates, 
	there are many terrifying and ominous indicators. One leading indicator for 
	unrest is youth unemployment. The percentage of young Americans who are not 
	in the workforce, eligible workers up to the age of 24, is now at a
	
	record high of 51%.
	
	As another example of a major U.S. city on the edge, in Milwaukee the 
	poverty rate is currently hovering around 30%. 
	
	 
	
	 
	
	Note: 
	
	The above graphic is based on 
	2009 Census data. 
	
	The poverty rate has 
	increased since then.
	
	 
	
	Among African-American men in the region, 50% 
	are now unemployed (below video.) 
	
	 
	
	 
	
	
	 
	
	 
	
	Milwaukee has recently seen several small-scale 
	riots, a violent flash mob riot just broke out at a 
	
	local state fair.
	
	As we have seen historically and recently throughout the world, the first 
	phase of economic disenfranchised backlash leads to riots where people who 
	are deeply impoverished look for the nearest person to attack or the nearest 
	store to loot or vandalize. This eventually leads to clashes with local law 
	enforcement - much like we have already seen in San Francisco (see below) 
	and on a larger-scale in London. 
	
	 
	
	Throughout the U.S., as just mentioned, we have 
	also seen the start of violent 
	flash mobs, a trend many believe will 
	continue to grow and occur more frequently. 
	
	 
	
	After this initial emotionally-driven phase, 
	there tends to be 
	
	more sophisticated acts of crime and violence directed at 
	banks, politicians, mega-wealthy individuals and rich gated-communities, as 
	we have started to see sporadically throughout Greece, Germany, France, 
	Spain and Italy.
	
	The bottom line is that we will inevitably see many more “civil 
	disturbances” throughout the United States, and the Army, just like the 
	NYPD, is currently preparing for such occasions. 
	
	 
	
	As 
	
	this report from Tom Burghardt 
	reveals:
 
	
		
		As Economy Tanks, ‘New Normal’ Police State Takes 
		Shape
		“Civil Disturbances: Emergency 
		Employment of Army and Other Resources, otherwise known as Army 
		Regulation 500-50, spells out the ‘responsibilities, policy, and 
		guidance for the Department of the Army in planning and operations 
		involving the use of Army resources in the control of actual or 
		anticipated civil disturbances.’ (emphasis added)
		
		With British politicians demanding a clampdown on social media in the 
		wake of London riots, and with the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) agency 
		having done so last week in San Francisco, switching off underground 
		cell phone service to help squelch a protest against police violence, 
		authoritarian control tactics, aping those deployed in Egypt and Tunisia 
		are becoming the norm in so-called ‘Western democracies.’” 
	
	
	As the excerpt above references, in San 
	Francisco, after the police fatally shot a person, protests broke out and a 
	police state crackdown occurred, similar to the attempts to stifle free 
	speech in Egypt. 
	
	 
	
	As the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) 
	
	sums up here:
 
	
		
		BART Pulls a Mubarak in San Francisco
		“This week, EFF has seen censorship 
		stories move closer and closer to home - first Iran, then the UK, and 
		now San Francisco, an early locus of the modern free speech movement.
		
		 
		
		Operators of the Bay Area Rapid Transit 
		system (BART) shut down cell phone service to four stations in downtown 
		San Francisco yesterday in response to a planned protest…
		
		One thing is clear, whether it’s BART or the cell phone carriers that 
		were responsible for the shut-off, cutting off cell phone service in 
		response to a planned protest is a shameful attack on free speech. BART 
		officials are showing themselves to be of a mind with the former 
		president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak, who ordered the shutdown of cell 
		phone service in Tahrir Square in response to peaceful, democratic 
		protests earlier this year. 
		 
		
		Free speech advocates have called out 
		British Prime Minister David Cameron for considering new, broad 
		censorship powers over social networks and mobile communication in the 
		UK, and we are appalled to see measures that go beyond anything Cameron 
		has proposed being used here in the United States.”
	
	
	To see how far the U.S. police state is going, 
	the Department of Homeland Security just sent out a 
	
	bulletin warning 
	financial corporations of an upcoming non-violent protest on Wall Street 
	this 
	
	September 17th. 
	
	 
	
	Police are now employing unprecedented measures 
	to stifle First Amendment rights. 
	
	 
	
	In another recent example, an artist who painted 
	a picture of a JP Morgan Chase bank on fire, to symbolize the financial 
	crisis, was visited at his home by police questioning him as a potential 
	terrorist (below video).
	
	 
	
	 
	
	 
	
	
	 
	
	
 
	
	 
	
	 
	
	It’s Time for Aware 
	Citizens to Hold the Richest 400 Americans Personally Responsible
	
		
			
				
				There’s class warfare, all right, 
				but it’s my class,
				the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
				Warren Buffett
				
				Chairman and CEO of Berkshire 
				Hathaway
			
		
	
	
	Obviously,
	
		
	
	
	...all bare direct responsibility for our 
	economic suffering. 
	
	 
	
	First and foremost, they deserve most of the 
	blame. 
	
	 
	
	mmmmm
	
	 
	
	We need to hold them all personally responsible 
	and apply mass direct action and pressure upon them.
	
	That being said, at this urgent point in our national crisis, as the 
	economic situation grows increasingly severe, we need to also focus on the 
	richest 400 Americans and hold them personally responsible as well. We need 
	to get in their face and call them out in a non-violent manner.
	
	It is not my intention to demonize all 400 of the richest Americans. Some of 
	them are well-meaning and hardworking people. However, as the primarily 
	beneficiaries of a rigged and predatory economy, they must all acknowledge 
	that the system that has produced their immense wealth is now overrun with 
	corruption and society is breaking down as a result.
	
	At this point, even the billionaires who haven’t had a direct role in 
	creating this financial crisis need to be held responsible. As a person who 
	has benefited so greatly, and has acquired so many resources, whether they 
	like it or not, they are now in a position of responsibility. 
	
	 
	
	The richest 400 Americans personally have the 
	power and wealth necessary to financially support organizations and 
	politicians who will fight for much needed changes. If they are unwilling to 
	put their immense power behind changing this dire situation, they too must 
	be held personally responsible.
	
	I’m extending an olive branch to these 400 billionaire Americans. I’m giving 
	them fair warning. Either use your wealth and power to make urgently needed 
	changes, or you too will end up like tyrants of the past.
	
	Our country and our families have endured systemic financial oppression for 
	long enough. In a time of national crisis and shared sacrifice, the richest 
	one-tenth of one percent of the population cannot continue on their 
	
	merry 
	way, living in obscene wealth and detached from reality, while the majority 
	of the population desperately struggles to make ends meet.
	
	The last thing I want to see is rioting and violence.
	
	 
	
	However, as we have seen throughout the world, 
	it is evident that you cannot rob tens of millions of people of their 
	economic security, dignity and future and expect society to continue 
	functioning business as usual. All the gated communities and private 
	security you can buy still won’t be enough to save you from tens of millions 
	of desperate and enraged people.
	
	As the economic crisis once again begins to accelerate, the overwhelming 
	majority of Americans are hanging by a thread. When the inevitable wave of 
	unrest hits our streets, the masses will be looking in your direction - this 
	you can be sure of. Either start fighting for much needed changes or face 
	the consequences of your actions, and inactions.
	
	To paraphrase Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “The 
	Mask of Anarchy,” 
	
		
		We are many - you are few.
	
	
	Are the 400 richest Americans going to stand and 
	fight for America, or is history going to remember them as short-sighted, 
	delusional, narcissistic and despotic tyrants?
	
	The choice is theirs.
	
	Which side of history will they be on? From here on in, the people will be 
	watching their every move. We want to know what these 400 billionaires are 
	personally doing to solve our financial crisis. In the days ahead, we will 
	
	track their political activities.
	
	Here are the 400 richest Americans according to
