You control our world. You've poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you. You've liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout your unending greed. We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves, servants to your decadence. You've stolen our elections, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. You own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. You've profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living. You've monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame. We are hit… we are bleeding… but we ain't got time to bleed. We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our revolution!

Sincerely,

The Serfs.

• Reposted much in 2011, in January 2018 it is a meme. (Sometimes misdated April 12, 2011; sometimes signed "Jesse Ventura" instead of "The Serfs"; sometimes retitled or introduced as "Jesse Ventura's open letter to the elite", "Message to the global elite from Jesse Ventura", etc.) The direct source is gone. Searches don't find it in his books. It was posted on the homepage of his website named similarly to his book title, by "admin", on April 1, 2011. That website disappeared by 2013.
