Americas Path to Revolution Is Rapidly EscalatingDave Hodges Three Stages of a Revolution Any revolution contains three stages, and it is always the same regardless of the country or political system. Initially, a revolution consists of the elite, who are characterized by blatant, but disguised abuses of power, versus a few vocal people who openly challenge the status quo of the elite in a public forum. This article is about the apparent transition that is ongoing in this country in which America is progressing from stage one, self awareness of persecution, to stage two, characterized by civil disobedience, on the path to stage three, which is revolution. The three stages of revolution manifest in the following manner: 1. A minimum number of the persecuted population becomes aware that they are victims and share a collective consciousness with their fellow victimized citizens. Ten percent is the minimum number needed to successfully complete stage one (see below for documentation). 2. Awareness leads to action in the form of civil disobedience. 3. Civil disobedience is met with opposing force by the power elite and the conflict leads to open hostilities culminating in revolution. It is the hypothesis of this paper that America is transitioning between stage one and stage two. In stage one of a revolution, each side of the conflict engages in a war of ideas and words and feverishly campaigns for their version of the truth. The elite, who control the government and, more importantly, the media, initially win the war of words. However, the dissidents often engage in alternative methods for winning the propaganda war. In America, the elite control 98% of the media through five corporations, which leaves the dissidents at a distinct disadvantage. The vocal minority has countered with turning the Internet into a news dissemination device. This is why Senators Feinstein and McCain have tried multiple times to get control over the Internet and to decide who is a journalist and who is not. They fear our message because they have much to hide in their role of working for the criminal elite. The fact that the elite are trying to silence the vocal minority of dissidents speaks to the fact about how effective the alternative media has become. The elite know something that most of us have failed to realize: the alternative media is beginning to win the hearts and minds of the American public and the elite are panicking and moving quickly to silence the alternative media. However, it is too late. America has reached a tipping point. Recent research in the field of social psychology demonstrates why. Rutkowski et al., have demonstrated that group cohesiveness is a primary determining force which determines whether or not a protest movement will go forward and gain momentum. The Obama administration, on behalf of the global elite (i.e. Rothschild banksters) has attacked America on so many fronts, that there a re a lot of like-minded victims who are beginning to see the federal government as their enemy. As many of you know, it is actually the Obama administration who are merely the representatives of the real enemy, they only play the role of the errand boy. However, it is the alternative media which is providing the disenfranchised with a voice constituting a gathering point for dissident voices. The resistance against the New World Order now has a collective consciousness. Scientists from the prestigious Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have determined that if just10% of any given population holds to an unshakable idea, that the idea will become adopted by the majority of the country. I contend that this threshold has been met. How can I be so sure? I am certain that people of America are in the midst of redefining its relationship with its government because we are seeing defiance against federal government edicts at every level of our society. Stage Two Stage two of a revolution consists of civil disobedience or nonviolent resistance. Thanks to Obama, he has given Americans the perfect pretext to begin to resist our criminally controlled government and America is presently sitting on the edge of being immersed in stage two of a three-stage path to revolution. In Part one of this series, I identified three governors, many veterans and average citizens who are defying various aspects of the government shutdown, the implementation of Common Core and just the general encroachment of tyranny into our lives. America is indeed transitioning from stage one to stage two, characterized by civil disobedience. I predict that we are going to see more acts of civil disobedience on a widespread scale. The word of our discontent is spreading like wildfire. I was recently a guest on a liberal talk show. I knew I was walking into the lions den, but I was surprised that the liberal talk show host was agreeing with me on nearly every point from the need to abolish the Federal Reserve to the need to eliminate corporate campaign donations to politicians. Most surprising, this program and host wanted to protect the alternative media from Feinsteins attempt to silence its journalists through an amendment to Senate bill 588. I see signs every day, that despite the globalists trying to divide and conquer humanity, that the awakening is occurring and is growing exponentially. Even so-called traditional liberals are joining forces with the alternative media in an attempt to preserve what is left of America. The slumbering giant is indeed awakening and is coming to life. This is cause for celebration. However, the American people and reporters in the spirit of the Michael Hastings and the Andrew Breitbarts are in grave danger, as the elite are not going to sacrifice their hold over all of us without a fight. The more that we show that humanity is awakening, the harder the elite are going to push back. We know that on October 1st, FEMA had just completed training 386,000 troops in FEMA Region 3. Their primary focus was on urban warfare and teaching the troops to speak English. They are coming for our guns and we cannot let that happen, because every genocide in the 20th century was preceded by gun confiscation. Gun confiscation is a hallmark push back by the elite in response to a rising tide of opposition. False flag attacks are also a prominent part of the transition between stage two and stage three rebellion. Elite-sponsored false flag attacks also provide the justification and also galvanizes the pro-governmental forces to a point in which they begin to enslave the people on the pretext of protecting them from some kind of bogeyman (i.e. terrorists). I recently documented no less that nine disaster preparedness and disaster drills which are being carried out in the period between September 25 through November 13th which will culminate with the Grid Ex II simulating a total grid blackout. Every one of these drills consists of the potential for a false flag event. We have seen this with 9/11, the 7/7 bombings and most recently in the Boston Marathon Bombings. Conclusion DHS is arming to the teeth and is preparing to go to war with the American people as evidenced by their purchase of 2.3 billion rounds of ammunition and 2700 armored personnel carriers. Their agents target practice against average Americans on their target cutouts. Although I celebrate Americas rising tide of awareness, I have a foreboding feeling about what lies ahead. Will the elite effectively stamp out any opposition? Will the coming push back by the elite result in an escalation of violence? Perhaps it makes more sense as to why the local police have been federalized and why we are seeing unprecedented acts of police brutality. These are questions that will soon be decided. We are truly living in historic times.
