*Pro-Justice for Samantha Ramsey
January 27, 2015 was an exciting day
for me.
The Revolution isn't a violent
Revolution. The Revolution can't be a violent Revolution. The
Revolution must be, and therefore is, a peaceful Electoral
Revolution. And I believe in the Revolution, with my entire heart,
soul, mind, and being.
*Dam the Kentucky River, and Create
Gatewood's Lake in the Eastern Kentucky mountains.
The Machine knows what to do with
violence. A violent Revolution would be a bloodbath. It's not even an
option. What the machine doesn't know how to react to, is when folks
have fun and enjoy themselves, peaceful direct action, militant non-violence, love, humor,
friendship, camaraderie, solidarity, democracy, etc. They only
understand violence. So violence paints a clear dark bloody
disgusting horrendous vivid picture to the end of the Revolution. It
must be rejected in totality. Understand that the
Counter-Revolutionaries will attempt to use violence, being the
psychopathic immoral wicked despicable Reactionaries they are, just
as they did in Europe in 1849. Many times, the attempted Revolution—a
Rebellion—will be turned back around, and a much harsher
repression, in the name of all freedom the Revolution contained, will
happen. Egypt's Revolution failed. Tunisia's Revolution succeeded.
The Egyptians won the hearts and mind of the world, but they didn't
achieve power. The 1848 Springtime of European Nations Revolution
lost because the Counter-Revolutionaries paid one half of the poor to
attack the other half. The middle intelligensia bourgeois class
didn't make the connection to working class peoples, peasants, serfs,
slaves, wage slaves, etc, how the Revolution would benefit them, and
get them on board with it. Solidarity is a hard thing to achieve.
Even though we fight for the 99%, it takes a small dedicated minority
to get the thing accomplished. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever
has.
There's other Revolutions more than
Political Revolutions. There's Social Revolutions, Evolutionary
Revolutions, Scientific Revolutions, and Industrial Revolutions. The
Revolution is a Revolution of Love. Since we can only use logic,
reason, observation, experiment, acceptance or rejection of the
hypothesis, Scientific reasoning is essential for our understanding
of reality, and how to progress from there. Writing the 100 Greatest
Books list made me realize that I couldn't peacefully consider
Scientific Revolutions, i.e. making inventions, work on engineering,
thinking about how things work, and how to make those things better
because of the impending Republican Class War coming with the
election of a Republican Governor in Kentucky. I wish I was speaking
rhetorically, but this is serious. Peaceful tranquility is needed for
pure Science to flourish. A free and creative culture is a must, is
an absolute necessity. The Republican Nazi corporatists shocked”
Chile's economy into a pure laizze-faire casino style wild wheel and
deal 'em capitalism after assassinating Salvador Allende in 1973.
Chile remained right-wing fascist totalitarian for decades
afterwards. Capitalism by the gun. If your idea needs violence to
enforce it, then you're idea isn't worth diddly crap. Evo Morales is
doing a great job, today, in the New Internet Age, and so elections,
and democracy does, and can, work for the people. The Electoral
Revolution is when we the people start to Occupy government seats. We
need as many regular people into office as we can get. Just voting
isn't enough. We need to be the change we wish to see in the world,
or we will be governed by our inferiors. Scientific progress is
really the only progress Humanity has ever made. There's no denying a
Scientific Truth, no matter how the papist determines their “truth”.
Haiti's economy has been devastated because of “Neoliberalism”,
aka “The Washington Consensus”. The Washington Consensus says
that free market democracies are the inevitable ends of history, and
it made Francis Fukuyama really sad, because now... we can be smart,
and peaceful. We can work on business and trade, and learn to work
with others, instead of imposing our will onto others. Now we can
bask in our namesake: Freedom. Freedom is what it's all about.
Freedom isn't just a virtue. Freedom is a necessary condition for
Humanization, our awakening. Our nation was conceived with some of
the Enlightenment thoughts, but we haven't sorted all of that out
yet. I dream of a 2nd Enlightenment Era. Now, we are stuck
in a Gilded Age.
Kentucky needs many Scientific
Revolutions. We need 10,000 scientists just for a single
breakthrough. Kentucky is still stuck in the Dark Bronze Ages, and
it's time we progress, into the 21st Century, into the
Postmodern Age, into the Globalized world, and start leading the
United States from the front, instead of from behind. But we can't
have our Progressive Intelligent Passionate Internet Industrial
Postmodern Scientific Revolution until we first have a People's
Revolution.

I filed to run for Lieutenant Governor
(I had to look up how to spell Lieutenant, and probably should commit
it's spelling to my permanent memory bank) with Geoffrey Young on
Tuesday, January 27, 2015. It was the final day to file for Governor,
and we got to the Capitol with our papers and money in hand, just
shortly after Noon.I was frustrated that there was little media
around, and the little media that was around, forgot to quote
anything me or Geoff said.
I said that a Young-Masters ticket
would bring Kentucky much prosperity, and would make Kentucky
greener. I also said that I would debate the other Lieutenant
Governors running in the campaign. I said Kentucky would be rich
beyond our wildest dreams.

What's in a label? Some print news
called me an “unemployed student”, and that's not accurate. I did
say that I was a “student”, and then corrected myself, and said
that I was “unemployed”, but that was in the response to
question: “What do you do?” I do not have a job right now, and I
do not like it. I have been working on being a High School Social
Studies, but so far, the job search hasn't panned out as I would have
liked for it to. For some reason, a Quality Teacher isn't able to
find work. I can do more, and try harder, but I'm working on it. In
the meantime, I'm working on a campaign to get Geoff Young elected,
and through fundraising, I'll be able to pay myself with a tiny
percentage of the funds I raise. So I'll be paying myself, and I
currently have a full-time job. So “unemployed” isn't even
accurate. I'm at the very least, a campaign coordinator, and at the
very most, a Lieutenant Governor. I am a student of life, and I have
a job, so I'm not sure how to answer that question for the next time.
What do you do?
I am a fairly young politician. I'm a
revolutionary community organizer activist. That's what I do. It's
what I breathe. I wear the Revolution on my sleeve.
So the media ignored all that Geoff and
I said to them on January 27, 2015, and got it wrong. I don't blame
them, but I do blame them for only printing me in the worst light
possible, and ignoring the calls for debates with our respective
candidates. They did pick up Geoff's list of 4 issues he's going to
be tackling throughout the campaign: 1) Energy Policy; 2) Abortion;
3) Racism, and; 4) Class War. So that's progress. He found himself a
Lieutenant Governor, and now, Geoff can run the Governor's campaign
he wants to run, exactly as he wants to run it.
The media, many times, have ignored my
input into different situations, and I've also seen misspellings of
my name, and an incorrect age.
I have had struggle in my life, but who
hasn't? I'm a regular Kentucky citizen. I'm an average voter. I've
have had financial, family, school, government, and legal issues. And
I have been wronged many times. It happens to the best of us. But
attack politics is what the Republicans do, and Democrats should be
better than that. Democrats should talk about the issues, and about
what the best possible solutions to Kentucky's problems are. Bump
plans. Seriously sit down, and hash out the differences,
similarities, and get a plan of action in place. Have a vision. Be
serious. Don't be childish. $100 million into attack politics?
Kentucky has too many issues for us to play politics, and play these
stupid childish Mitch McConnell games. Mitch showed the world that
the theater of politics is more important than the actual governance
of politics, and it shouldn't be that way. Kentucky has too many
issues to be McConnelling. With 4 Republicans running for Governor,
they may get their act together, and start to do Lincoln-Douglass
debates throughout Kentucky. The Democrats should preempt this, and
start a cordial friendly conversation about what we believe the
problems are, and then discuss what the solutions are to those
problems. Racism, Abortion, Energy Policy, Class War. It's all about
the Economics, for the rich and poor alike. We should talk about
where Kentucky is currently, take a real hard serious look at
ourselves, and then talk about where we want Kentucky to progress
towards, with 100 year projections, for the many generations of
Kentuckians coming to be.
Perhaps Geoff Young's superior policy
is what they are afraid of. They don't want to compare Young's policy
for Kentucky compared to Conway's because they know that Young's
policies are better than Conway's, assuming he will have any. They
don't want to talk about the issues, or policy, because they know
they will lose when a fair and balanced side-by-side comparison is
made by an informed and active public citizenry.
I am one with nature. I am one with the
world. I am one with the universe. I'm made up of star stuff.
All non-violent prisoners need to be
released. All prisoners in jail for debt need to be released, per the
Kentucky Constitution, Section 18.
Me filing for Lieutenant Governor was a
line of demarcation. Before January 27, 2015, I was a citizen trying
to be heard about my political opinions, and would seek to
gesticulate, cuss, provocatively title videos, write lots of tags, in
order to get more hits. That was before, when I was unheard. Now
being in a position of representing my beloved Bluegrass, I am now
more diplomatic with my words. I have a platform, and I have a microphone. And Geoff shows me that you can be radical AND you can be gentle.
This campaign with transform me, and it
will transform Kentucky. We will transform each other.

Most Kentuckians dont have a real
choice at hte ballot box, so therefore, they dont turnout to vote. So
a Young Masters ticket will increase turnout rate for Democrats, esp
for hte youth, the disenchanted, and marginalized.
