    AIG AND BANK EXECUTIVES SHOULD EXAMINE THE LESSONS OF THE RUSSIAN AND FRENCH REVOLUTION

     

    I saw on a CNN report that private citizens in the Westport Conneticutt area will be making a bus trip to AIG excutives homes to deliver letters and organize a protest of these bonuses. Weather or not this is true I don't know but the report goes on to say that security has been hired to protect AIG executive employees. This scenario seems awfully familiar from the 1905, 1917 Russian Revolution where the  citizens of Russia along with the clergy march to the St. Petersburg Winter Palace with letters in hand begging the Tsar to change his policies and laws on the starving masses which included his military who had inadequate clothing and food to sustain them..The fact of the matter is the Tsar gave them some big speech about Russian unity and told them to stop complaining-yet this man sat on 30 billion dollars, eating three squares a day while his people were starving and freezing..  Civil unrest broke out and people were shot and killed begging for bread. Then 1916 rolled around and the same thing happened. Need I say what happened to the Tsar and his family in 1917. Need I say what happened to King Louis 16th and his family when they tried to escape the clutches of the masses by sneaking off to Varennes and leaving his subjects to toil on their own? Well I will say it. Tsar Nicholas and his family were executed by the Red Bolsheviks and King Louis 16th and his family were guillotined.After the masses in France raided the cellars of Louis 16th, the masses found hoarded food,guns, cash and jewelry. Sounds familiar? Let me give you a piece of advice AIG Execs Don't think the law can be your best defense because when a person doesn't have any thing to lose anymore, that person can be become a dangerous animal. And for all you people out there that say I am inciting violence. Not so- I am just trying to put  a human element to this  tragic  time in history.
