Rapper/Activist KILLER MIKE Takes on Megabanks...And Wins

No change will come moving forward unless we act to take it ourselves at every level (personal, local community, state, country and global). Politicians and the political process as it stands today is broken at best and perhaps is essentially nonexistent regarding the voice of The People beyond megacorporate/megabank interests. The author and political theorist Sheldon Wolin stated in his book "Democracy Incorporated" that American has undergone a corporate coup d'etat in slow motion. Since he wrote those words in 2010, the takeover is complete...the coup d'etat has succeeded. Moving forward, an unpredictable hybrid of local, decentralized actions combined with the power of social media and guided by the conscious examples of non-compliance and non-violent civil disobedience shown to use by great leaders, activists and people's of the past will provide hope.

Rapper, civic leader and activist Killer Mike's recent radio appearance on 107.9 His words and passion hit on deep truths. Five days after his 107.9 interview (in which he called upon the black community to move their money out of predatory megabanks over to the black-owned Citizen's Trust Bank that redistributes the wealth back into the black community and gives loans to local business ideas) over 8000 new accounts were opened and over $800K was moved. In the age of information change can be as instant as we make it. In less than a month, over $10 million has been moved. Killer Mike's call to action was in response to the continued excessive force and shooting deaths committed by police throughout America.

There is a pulse happening now. It can't be seen...it can only be felt. Truth is its language and passionate, highly conscious action is how it moves forward and survives. People are desperate for real solutions and real voices for truth that aren't corporate-sponsored, politically measured, ego-driven and devoid of empathy.

"History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of “history” it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time—and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened." -HUNTER S THOMPSON
