As a follower and volunteer coordinator for Aaron Russo in 2006 I got targeted for my patriotic actions. I was a wee bit too high on the radar. . Russo's film, America From Freedom to Fascism was the shot heard around the world and inspired many millions to get active and effective in the truth movement. I was successful in coordinating some key actions in Los Angles including a meeting with Aaron and the other volunteers and participation in a peace march which featured Cindy Sheehan, Ron Kovic and Ghandi's grandson where we carried banners expressing "Want to End The War In Iraq? Shut Down The Federal Reserve".

My rewards for my patriotic efforts included receiving my checking account statement in the mail ripped open (after they saw my vapid bank account balance they finally left me alone lol), finding my Ford's windows smashed in and papers in my Ford Escort left in a different disorder than I had left them, being nearly run off the road and other highlight reel experiences.

When I first saw the car window glass on the pavement I said to myself, "son, you are doing something right but you are doing something wrong". And I did back off a bit to get off the radar. But I now have a very high traffic blog for the truth movement and the Ron Paul Revolution (which originated with Aaron Russo incidentally).

There are so many revolutions happening these days that one needs a score card. One of these is a revolution that even the most apprehensive can contribute to because it is completely anonymous. And it is anonymous naturally, not because of anybody's attempt for self preservation.

This is a movement to fight back against the automobile industry and the oil industry.

Did you know...

1. That Exxon had $8 billion in profits in 2007 while fuel prices for consumers doubled and tripled.

2. That the price for a barrel of oil was $18 prior to Sept 2001 and is now more than one hundred dollars and this is increasing

3. That an automobile in 1908 did 40% better on fuel mileage than a automobile in 2008

4. That the average automobile only utilizes 20% of the fuel that you put into the engine which is why you have a catalytic converter... to pass the unburnt, unused fuel out the back

5. That if a gallon of fuel costs $3.30, 10% of that is inflation (figure .30 cents) and about fourty seven cents pays for taxes of some type. So about 25% of what we spend on fuel goes to the government.

As with any sore spot in society, if folks unite and take action positive change can still be brought about.

As regards gas prices the best solution is to opt out completely. No, I don't mean to walk and ride your bike to work as they do in Japan. I am saying that you can convert your gasoline engine to hydrogen and never need to buy another gallon of gasoline again. Even if you just convert to a hybrid you will be saving up to 35% on gasoline consumption, maybe more. So unless the government puts nazi inspectors in charge of surveillance under your vehicle's hood, this would be a inherently anonymous activity and an effective revolution!

Also you will be helping your car to operate better, also you will be doiong something effective to bring about cleaner air for all of us to live in and you can have the reward of knowing that you are part of a revolution against the automobile makers and the oil industry and you can say that with regards to the price of gasoline ... "we ain't buyin' it anymore"
