Belle Island Proposal IS Elysium And That Is The Fate Of The 99% With GOP In Power

This film is the "Metropolis" film of the silent era. The "arranged peace" ending of that film is flawed in that there will be no peace or prosperity for the masses with our present course. Like the Borg wealthy economic interests mean to show everyone that "resistance is futile".

The tactics to crush this nation by the RW are already under way in the form of ALEC and other organizations. The GOP sees 2014 and 2016 as the time when they have total power and can permanently establish their draconian totalitarian political agenda. The racist and classicism we see today is no different than any other cruel takeover.

What the heck is the "Belle Island Proposal" and what does it have to do with the film and how is it like the film and what is the film all about anyway?

When I google it, I get links to this thread. http://www.google.com/search?q=%22belle+island+proposal%22

Not everybody is possessed with your breadth of knowledge and intellectual ability to pull together disparate concepts and examples, so, please share.

but there is literally no way in hell the proposal will be accepted. The American Federal Government is not going to allow a new "Nation" to pop up in Detroit. Impossible
