To the citizens of the world:
I would like to apologize for the death and destruction being perpetrated around the globe by the U.S. military, the financial crimes committed by our banks, and the mockery of justice displayed by U.S.-dominated institutions like the U.N. security council. Those of us who understand what’s happening are horrified and saddened by what’s being done in our name and with our tax dollars. Unfortunately, most Americans remain ignorant of the facts, because our once-proud journalistic institutions have been bought up by corporations and turned into propaganda instruments for the military-industrial complex. We have tried to correct things with our democratic process, but that too has been bought, taken over by corrupt politicians and lobbyists who serve their corporate masters.
The American revolution and democracy has inspired many peoples around the world to reject tyranny and gain control of their own destiny. Now the time has come when you have inspired us. From solitary Tank Man in Tiananmen Square, to the courageous crowds in Tahrir Square, we have watched and marveled at how you have stood up to oppose tyranny. Many of us have wondered if America could have such a people’s revolution, or if we would remain glued to our televisions, which feed us a constant stream of fear and lies. It seems that finally, the crimes of our financial elite have become so obvious and horrible that we too have taken to the public squares to protest and reclaim our freedom.
The public demonstrations begun in New York with the Occupy Wall Street encampment have sparked a nationwide movement of demonstrations that continues to grow every day. It will take us some time to wake up our fellow citizens, gather a critical mass, and articulate the demands which will be necessary to restore our country into the hands of the people. We believe the time has come when the elite 1% of richest Americans has gone too far in their abuse and control of the rest of us, the 99% of Americans who are struggling in one way or another, and that the American people will rise up to reclaim the rights guaranteed by our constitution.
We hope you, the citizens of the world, will reach out to us, the American people, and help us reclaim our governmental, economic, and journalistic institutions so that the United States can once again become a force for freedom and human rights in the world. You can help us by compelling your governments and corporations to recognize our movement, so that our government and corporations will be forced to acknowledge us, and work with us for the ascendancy of people over profit, peace over fear, and the cooperation of all peoples of the world for our mutual benefit as we move forward into a hopeful future.
