These days, you have to split your focus between serious (insane!) issues both foreign and domestic.
I can’t decide which is bothering me more at the moment, an emboldened North Korea getting ready to fire a nuke at the beach I spent my vacation boogie boarding on when I was 7 or a US government that seems to think the only spending worth curtailing is the funding for the very missile defense systems that would protect that beach.
Look no further than Al Capone for the answer, the all time greatest gangster. He murdered, stole, smuggled, extorted, you name it. He was never caught for any of it. His downfall came from INCOME TAX EVASION of all things.
And that’s how you put the muzzle on North Korea.
You can shoot down every missile he sends your way, but you’ll never get Kim Jung Il on nukes, he’s got that base too well covered with any attempt at impeding him used as a propaganda tool to prepare his disparaged and brainwashed people for sacrificial war (See the National Geographic Documentary: “Inside North Korea”-2007).
North Korea’s Achilles’ Heal is it’s prison camps; it hosting the world’s largest collection. It’s easy to spin foreign military incursion as an assault on DPRK from inside Pyongyang, but how well could he rally his people against accusations of work camps where many of them have family members toiling away for the smallest of offenses?
Doing this isn’t as simple as posting stories on a blog, although the Communist nation does have it’s own website: http://www.korea-dpr.com/
You have to think of it through the prism of 1950’s technology, short wave radio signals and the like either covertly smuggled in or air dropped would be the most peaceful and effective way to begin putting pressure on the “Little Man of the North” to start behaving.
China and Russia’s true role in this remains to be seen, but I’m sure they have their own “INCOME TAX” vulnerabilities that can be pressed despite their massive US debt holdings.
Then there’s our state and federal congresses.
They don’t fit the brutal Al Capone/North Korea mold, but given the escalating deficit, they can be fingered as thieves. Tea Party Protests, or even elections, won’t do much at this rate. If the current crop of politicians are so easily bought and sold then logic demands that you must financially pressure their paymasters. A good place to start is http://www.opensecrets.org/index.php (you’ll have to do your own research
for the state levels).
They list just about every detail you’d want to know especially their largest donors.
Most politicians come from successful families with their own businesses and law firms, and boycotts targeting these institutions would also be very effective in sending the message that: “Hey! We finally found a way to get to you guys and will continue to do so until you yield!”
In the case of dealing with media institutions like NBC, MSNBC, and now new to the roster ABC, the best course of action is to go directly after their advertisers both local and national (See previous post: “Big Government Continues its March, Now onto an ABC Station near You“).
These are short term solutions to only stem a growing tide. But more on that coming soon.
