Occupy Wall Street, After the Campout – What’s Next for the Movement

First let me mention that I don’t agree at all with the idea that American’s can not put up a tent as an expression of free speech. I think that’s a piss poor decision for the courts, considering “flag burning” is okay, but camping is a health and safety issue. Look, I don’t know about you, but I feel like TSA is a huge waste of my time in a free society. I put up with it during the big 911 response, but it’s time to get back to being Americans!

Occupy, in my eyes, is riding along prevailing winds, and has only begun to reveal the energy and brilliance behind it. So, here we are at the eve of having the biggest Occupy camps in the country dismantled by the Man! This is where a dozen news groups and media outlets will do their best to play on the unknown about it, as a scare tactic to weaken the movement. “They don’t know what they want?” or “They need a leader to be considered real”. But here’s the thing…

If you consider the language of the event; camps across the country are gone, and now the morph begins. Having a bunch of big camps was starting to play out a bit “socialist/liberal” for me. Oakland has even called for a support action of Washington Port Workers. Personally I think it needs to grow roots now. Take the time this Winter to seep into the community and plan front-yard CSA’s. Take to the streets to collect funding for space, and help Bank Customers learn about the differences in Banking institutions.

Small groups of Community Assemblies have begun forming in every town in the country. It makes sense that if America is going to change, that we should have a conversation about it. I find it amazing that our media and political systems have escaped the reality that we can do whatever we want. It’s the whole reason the Constitution was written. And, what is being revealed is the difference between the people and the institutions. Shame on the coordinating with local law enforcement. The idea that that all happened so precisely without central coordination is ridiculous. It reveals that there has been a break between the Constitution and the People who will defend it!

It’s time for the culture of America to meet and discuss the fate of our society. If people don’t or won’t see the dangers in the Fed actions to support the World’s economy by printing money and monetizing debt, then don’t worry about it. But if you see what I see, then you see the need for a true dialog with the members of this ship to discuss the current situation and options available to us as Americans! The World is defined by our willingness to engage with it. It can be anything we want.

Occupy the Ports – Is this a Union, Now?

At first I thought the occupy movement was acting on inertia when it called to shut down the west coast ports. I don’t like the idea of going from one whim to the next and figured that’s what it was. Of course this makes me the ass for assuming I understood what this was about.

Well I finally got the illusive insight to the master deployment of valuable troops to the ports for closure. It is a support party for the dock workers union if Washington. So occupy is a socialistic movement. What does closing the ports supposed to be saying, exactly. I know some unions came out to support occupy, but does that mean we’re letting the democrats co-opt the movement. I think it lacks imagination, and if you want me to march on economic imbalances you’ve got to be serious about it. I never signed up for a red star and a uniform.

And I understand about the whole support factor that comes along with autonomy, but it’s just a lot to swallow. I mean it didn’t turn out so well for Russia. They’re still trying to peel of the Kremlin and look how sticky that is. China isn’t much better, and I bet if we did a “stress test” on democratic vs. Communistic capitalism, you’d find out horrible things about how societies vary.

For all I know this entire action may have been planted by intelligence agencies to sway the public about the dangers of this anti-Capitalist movement that threatens the very fibre of our good and just society. Once occupy closes the ports they become an economic threat significant enough to address.

One thing that must be considered is the value of the 99%. this cannot become clear to those who act as the 1%. the banks crashed on the economy and now the occupy movement sees only destruction. How does this tribe value the greater community, when it stands apart of the crowd and claims everyone. An action with the magnitude to change the entire economic field should be at least weighed by the community it effects. It’s a bit like a 45 year old man cutting down a 3 thousand year old redwood. Our actions can affect anything and not everyone wants to see the future from a doorway or a campsite.

There are solutions to create the dialog this society is so hungry for. It begins in every neighborhood with a few friends from the street and grows into an entire society able to define their environment to their liking, and you know what happens when you do that. Whatever we want to!

Why Occupy is Going to Change the World Forever, and not the System

The one thing I have realized on my path for the last 20 years is that nothing is theoretical, but must be substantiated by phenomena in order to be realized as true. Something interesting, in the order of banking families, is the method in which they are gambling on.

The CME does a Daily Delivery Report and all of the future contracts are being stopped by JP Morgan, Bank of Nova Scotia, and Duesche Bank, originally known as Deutsche Morgan Grenfell. Bank of Nova Scotia, known as Scotia Bank acquired Mocatta Bullion, whose offices were located in Rotschild NM office and the Bank of London, a Rothchild Bank.

It’s sort of common knowledge that JP Morgan was an agent of the Rothschild in America and helped form the Federal Reserve System. Now here’s the funny part! The bankers know they have over extended the general economy, and there is a rumor that the plan is to push it as far as it will go, while acquiring Gold. The thinking is that a global currency can be formed based on the gold standard… a Global currency, except for one thing..

The problem with currencies is that once people decide that one is worthless, it is very hard to change their mind. This happened throughout the US history of money. Hundreds of currencies were created based on everything from metals to interest earning and all of them failed due to “trust” in the currencies stability…

Now the issue is much different. Under the Dodd-Frank law, they recently did an audit of the Federal Reserve. It was a serious battle to get the Fed to agree with this and they lobbied hard to try and stop the US from seeing there books. The outcome was that we now know that the Fed has a 16 trillion dollar negative balance on their books, from propping up the banks through this whole mess from 2008 till now. The irony of this is twofold. First they could have bought the entire subprime mortgage glut of forclosed homes, as well as the bad notes (subprime mortgage certificates) for a total sum of 2.5 trillion, and immediately went after the banks, holding them responsible for the mess. Down sized them and made the system solvent again, while saving the taxpayers the hardships now going on.

The other irony is that, if you take the entire history of the US GDP (gross domestic product, or every penny sold in goods and services in the US) it still doesn’t add up to 16 Trillion dollars in one year, that coupled with the 150 Trillion in US Government obligations and 12 Trillion in Private debt, you have a figure that can never be paid, no matter how you chop it up into years. The bottom line is, that the system, no matter how they paint it is headed for a change. The bankers, which gamble on outcomes as a business of risk and then manipulate the game so that they always win, are in for a surprise.

Surprise part one is the psychology of a society that has lost faith in an idea. It moves in reverse of the momentum it took to create it, like a train trying to decelerate. The weight of the system and it’s momentum are real and cannot be ignored. It is the law of inertia, and not just a theory. The other fact they seem to be ignoring is the Social Media driven Occupy Movement. It is a game changer in several ways. It is a shift in consciousness. The idea that we need money is the lie behind the entire debt system. Communities, even Rome, never traded within the community. Our education system only teaches us that and we repeat it like a mantra, which makes it seem real, but it’s not. The reality is that communities have always traded surpluses with other self-sustaining communities, until the modern age, and the reason this is the norm now is to finance war and interest charged by the debt system it needs to finance more systemic control factors as the World continues to intigrate!

Lincoln went to the Bank of London and asked the Rothschild’s for a loan to pay for the war and they said no. They were making a fortune on exporting clothing to all of their “colonies” and needed the cotton to keep flowing at the cheap, slave labor farmed, prices they were getting from the southern states. So Lincoln created the Greenback. It was currency that was guaranteed, by the government to be good, and had nothing behind it but that promise. They used it to pay the troops and it was in circulation until 1971, when Nixon took it out and then ended the gold standard. Now our money is a “Federal Reserve Note”.

The occupy movement is a totally different framework of communication and community belief, that we can come together and work like a family. We can be self-sustaining through our own contributions, and make decisions by consensus. We share everything we have, including information and in this way are entirely transparent. The other thing that makes this phenomena so powerful and grounded in reality is that we have no leaders and anyone can start a new circle anytime they want, anywhere they want. It’s a living organism of people taking each day as it comes and making decisions about it, and acting on those decisions.

There is no way to stop an organism that has no central nervous system, and because we are emotional beings at our core, and sharing everything viraly through the internet, we respond to every infraction by growing, learning, and response to each new challenge. When others see the truth revealed by the system, as it tries to control our movement, their natural empathetic response gives rise to greater numbers. This is why is hasn’t stopped, nor will it quit until the whole world is changed.

When this is over, no one will own anything, and no one will be without anything! Ever again!! Anarchy isn’t chaos. That’s a lie to keep people dependent on leadership. They are afraid that if we start working together that we’ll do away with their ideas about the world and leave them helpless to fend for themselves. Nothing more. Capitalism is fear! Our true nature is “empathetic to our community” and this is Love!

The Influence of Social Media is Currency.

Most of us think of money when we hear the word currency. It’s quite natural in the way we use and reflect on it our everyday lives as the currency modality we are conditioned, through behavior, to agree with. Essentially it is an agreement that we use money as our currency. In the past we have had different agreements and right now it is money. You cannot walk into the bank, at least not my bank, and make a mortgage payment with trade beads or silver ingots.

One of the realities of money is that billions of people all around the world are doing things, they might not do otherwise, to get money. We consider it, maybe only on a subconscious level, to be an exchange for our time that we use money to purchase the things we want. Some folks might actually know this in a conscious way, that the things we do for a living is purely for the sake of getting money. I think that most of us can agree that if we didn’t need money we might not likely do the things we are doing in order to get it, which takes money out of its pure form and transforms it into influence.

For instance if a company wants to have a top notch CEO it is going to be a top dollar agreement to obtain that CEO. On the other side of that coin is the Walmart employee who just needs to get by and therefor is willing to sacrifice their family time for their service to that company. It is essentially a tool to influence people to do things they probably wouldn’t do otherwise.

Some of you might be familiar with a website called Klout. They consider themselves to be a “measure of influence”. How it works is by signing in, with the various social media sites, they can measure your social media influence online. In other words, how many people take action because of the things you do or say.

Like if I post a blog and share it on Twitter and people like it enough to “like” it, or repose it, I am essentially influencing them somehow. It might be the content was really great and they wanted to share it with their friends or I could be really popular and they want to be part of that somehow, so they take action to get involved. In social media it is called engaging. Almost everything we do is to try and get people engaged in some way, or engaging with each other about us.

Klout has taken this entire use of social media influence to a whole new level with something they call perks. Companies, through Klout, can offer Klout members something for free if they meet certain criteria. For instance Subway is offering people who are influential in Gaming a free $5 sub, and all the Klout member has to do is share something about it with their sphere of influence. In essence it is like buying advertising for a specific consumer target; people who play video games.

Under this guise they are buying a personal mention from an individual to a certain number of people based on the users Klout score. The irony here is that it’s just an agreement between people and is probably a better deal for Subway. What’s it cost them to give away one footlong sub. Now, the influence of that user has become a form of currency.

Some bloggers are considered quite excellent at recommending good books by reviewing the ones they either like or think are worth writing about. If they’re really good at picking winners it is like they will become known for it. To be reviewed by one of these influencers can be very lucrative for an author. There are plenty of examples like this that are beginning to form a pattern in social media that is definitely not going unnoticed. Some companies are using the Klout API to check peoples scores that make reservations online.

The goal with social media is engaging people and influencing them to take action; push the button of commitment, and one of the most influential things in the world has always been the personal reference. If people like something they tell their friends and their friends come down and want to try it. It’s been the one thing that all advertising either tries to emulate emotionally through mass media, or influence with branding, while social media does this naturally. And, in this way social media influence is the currency.

Occupy Earth and Occupy Yer Self Cause the Good Ole Days is a Gone!

You know the old saying, if Americans can’t afford a house, we’ll just start selling them to someone else, and if they don’t live here we’ll give them visas. And the other saying we’re all familiar with, if you came here just for the education, wait, we’ll give you a visa so you can stay and work too! Oh, and my favorite, if you let us build a military defense system in your eastern European country we’ll kick down a bunch of summer work visas so when we visit our own national parks we can be taken care of by your students instead if ours!

I know some of you might be a bit confused and might not remember many of these old cliches. I admit it’s been some time since we sold out our own for a new fold. Let me think, that would have been before most of you were born, but maybe some of you remember. I think it was around the turn of the century. You know, when we used to lock the polish immigrants in the factory until their 15 hour shifts were over.

If I remember correctly there was a fire in one of those which really messed it up for the rest of us, or we’d probably still be gathering new folks from other countries still, but only when the folks we have start to ban together and ask for things like food and water while their working. That really cuts into their productivity if you ask me.

Look I hate to be the dick here, but don’t we have something like 12% real unemployment. I know it’s a bit inconvenient to keep counting the ones that no longer count, but really! Now you want to give foreigners visas so they can buy the homes you just kicked our unemployed asses out of. Better yet, why don’t you up the ante on the next generation and offer them visas if they’ll vote for your party in the future. Seems like the next best thing to telling the truth and actually having to support your constituency base. Oh wait, that’s not us I forgot. That’s for the 1% and we’re just here to get fucked as often as it fits your political bullshit.

And don’t worry about the fact that there are way more of us than you, cause we’re way to dumb to see through all your powerful talking points and misdirections. In fact we’re so dam close to hill billies that you might as well kill us fir be’n so codependent. Probably the only way you’ll really get any real rest at night.

Now that I seem to have your attention, let me tell you what’s going to happen next so that you won’t be totally caught off-guard when the lights go out! A day will come, and it’s coming soon, that you will open the news paper and find out that confidence in the fiat currencies, you’ve bled the world around you by, won’t be worth toilet paper. I know what you’re thinking, that you already knew and hedged your billions in metals, which frankly will help, but not you. In fact the few coins that people do have will be passed around a few times and the raw truth will suddenly dawn on the others, like a vision, that we don’t need to trade anything. That it was all just an idea that was held in place by the fear of the unknown.

Shame too, that you spent everything you had trying to save a failing idea, while we built an entirely new way of experiencing right In front of you, but you couldn’t figure it out. You tried. We watched you and to you it all seemed like a game without rules or an outcome, nothing you could stop or control, so you considered it an unimportant shadow.

You know what the true irony of it all is? That you will be forced to need. Not by any of us, but by your own actions. You’ll really wish there was an Armageddon that would spare you from living in a world without gold plated fixtures and Latvian maids, but mostly you’ll have to live with yourself among us. In plain clothing we made without your investment. And they won’t cost you a dime and we’ll love you for asking and yes of course will always be our true flag of unity!

Here’s a clue, and it won’t be enough for you to realize it in time, but more of something to reflect on when you finally build up the courage to come out side. It’s the same thing that set Harry Potter apart from himself. The thing that pooh could never speak. It’s the sound of a bee on a warm afternoon and a field of flowers without toil. And you can not monetize it, no matter how hard you try. So when it all comes crashing down around you just remember. I and a few friends did this and never fired a shot! Not really. Actually, you did this to yourself… And what a fucking ride that was!

It NOT the Global Village I was Expecting!

Today the whole World can be witness to one of the greatest shifts in our collective consciousness. We have done the impossible by taking action to build a global village. This village isn’t the kind of village you’re probably thinking. You won’t be fetching water or tilling a field in this village.

I’ll tell you about the village in a moment, but first let me tell you about an event happening right now. The expression is being seen as thousands and thousands of people gathered in the streets of most cities around the world. And although their cause is just, it isn’t their most incredible accomplishment which is truly unimaginably creative. That little gem belongs to the phenomenal accomplishment of building network of Facebook pages with names like occupy Hamburg, and Vancouver… Wall Street.

Now coming back to the village again, these pages have literally become the heart of a plethora village, with built in tools to connect us through a movement which finally gives us the chance to deeply express our desire to be a healthy and balanced community.

There is a lot of general uncertainty out there about what is really happening. The media has been pretty quiet unless they feel it can help the current system. For awhile the democrats thought they might be able to Co’op the event, but I think it a bit too big for them now that it’s global.

I’m curious what they’ll say about it. It seems a bit to large to ignore at this point, but if the paradigm shift is to meet with resistance it would be there at the crux between the forces behind and the people  effects and the media is the way!

So the event has been a really incredible social study that’s managed to yield a brilliant solution for the coming economic challenges that just seem to be piling up; slowly teetering over. This obscure network may just be the net to catch our fall. It may give us an entirely different society for sure. How apropos is it that the whole things going to happen on fucking Facebook… Ten bucks says this was their business plan. Shouldn’t have picked on The nerds!

What the Occupy Movement Isn’t, Won’t Stop What it IS!

In the rush of air that quickly formed the most organized shift in the history of the World, it seems that most people have completely overlooked what it really is that has been created. I expected the Corporate Banker’s Political Media Team to be to blind to see it, but hadn’t realized the subtlety would be overlooked by the most seemingly active participants. Even I have been surprised by it’s direction, but truly relieved to see that it worked so well despite its over exuberant cause driven anxiety, but that’s what we’ve been trained to experience…

Many believe that the people gathering on the streets around the Globe are going to do something to change the World when in fact they have already done the impossible. These amazing groups of people will someday be recognized as the architects of our next generations system of global continuity; the global village.

Still not getting it? Let me be more specific. The change isn’t what we accomplish really, but how we went about it. Right now there are several hundred individual Facebook Pages named after every location on Earth. Each of these pages are, in essence the foundation of a future system of governance. It is a way for communities to be self determined and will eventually include everyone, all 100% and not just 1% claiming to be the 99.

The goal in this movement is to bring down the existing power structure and restore the power of individuals to make there own determinant choices about how they, as a community, want to live on this planet, and that’s exactly what they did. They built the infrastructure to catch the fall if a dying system.

This is why the mainstream media and the politicians that pride themselves on being in control can’t stop it. It’s not an outcome and that’s what they are used to controlling. The corporate bankers fund them both and expect them to accomplish their intentions for controlling the mob, using this formula of telling people how to live, through psychological media tools like popular ideas and their populous endorsements of repetitious talking points. It builds consensus!

Over the last few years I have been watching the existing power moguls swallowing up all the gold and silver futures contracts, while their main instrument, the Federal Reserve, intentionally devalues the all mighty dollar.

I’m sure they are not complete idiots about the fate of fiat currencies and it would seem that their plan was to take the system, they spent the last 200 years exploiting, back to the gold standard once the Worlds Fiat economy collapsed under the weight of it’s own need for growth. They call it inflation, but it’s really just a systemic flaw that had to be engineered to overcome the constant loss of the interests on loans made over years and years.

Here the one flaw that is the monkey wrench in their Global control mission. No one else has enough gold or silver to play in the new world order, so now what. Well for awhile it will seem like they are sitting pretty large, with their big ole stacks of cash, and the prices for these metals will rage. And the question isn’t when. It is in fact occurring now.

The boom we just passed through over the last 30 years to get to the subprime mortgage fallout was a pretty simple trick called flipping assets into debt. If fact the total pool of liquidity that emerged from tempting ma and pa kettle to sell that old house, as the market values increased, was all part of the plan. It allowed the banks to loan a bunch of money to everybody who wanted it.

Shit, they were so pleased with things that at one point they didn’t even care if you had any credit, cause this ride was never going to end.. That is, as long as housing prices didn’t collapse. Now everyone is in a panic about how to solve this little problem of consolidation. And they decided to sell everyone out, as usual, and start hoarding metals thinking they could still finance there own life styles on the back of the 99% who still haven’t figured out their getting slaughtered real soon, but there is one thing they or you and I never saw coming… socialmedia! And now everyone is starting to pay attention to each other instead of the talking points!

Sure, some people are going to take a bit longer to realize that Capitalism isn’t the only method of living a healthy life, but when the monies gone it’s really going to be up to everyone to decided what were going to do next, and thanks to a largely idealistic group of people who knew something needed to happen, we now have a way to plan it out and execute it.

Occupy Earth United for Global Change – Oct. 15th. 2011

On October 15th the entire World will stand in the place they live and Unite the World in a movement that began as Occupy Wall Street, sponsored by the Canadian magazine Adbusters. It is being called United for Global Change. #Occupywallstreet as it is referred to on Twitter, began as a grass roots move to call attention to the extreme imbalances that have been growing in the World’s Economic system. It has all but been completely ignored by the mainstream media and when the news is covered it has been laced with shades of PR “talking points” reflecting several different interests.

It would appear from the slants being conveyed in the media that Democrats believe they can Co’op the movement and turn it into possible legislature to help push plans through Congress that will give them more clout to tax the rich to pay for job bills. While the right wing has called the event in Wall Street a “Class War” and “Dangerous”, and Glenn Beck has gone so far as to suggest that these protestors have intentions to drag people out into the streets and “kill” them. It just amazes me that so much slander around a movement that has the sole intention to call for a more “Participatory Democracy”, according to organizers in Boston.

Several failings in the attempts to discredit the movement have begun to shift people over to new sources of information for the news surrounding the events taking place, now in every major city in the US and on Oct. 15th in every major city around the World. No news has come out of China as to whether they will attempt to join Western forces in their move toward Solidarity against what is being referred to as the “Corporate Banking Political Media Group”. I’ve always just called it Capitalism, which seems to be up against the same possible fate that fell upon Communism in the 90′s. Central leadership always seems to fall victim to monetary control and looses sight of it’s main constituency, which is people!

Some news people have spoken out against the mainstream media’s blatant disregard and close to slander of the events, especially Keith Olbermann who has become a huge proponent of Twitter as the one place that anyone can find almost all the news being reported. The entire event and every local event is being organized on Facebook with page named after each event, OccupyLondon for instance is the “occupy” event taking place to protest the London Stock Exchange. Events can be search using either Facebook or Twitter and specific news being posted is listed according to each event. For the London Exchange it would post with the hashmarked version of the Facebook page, #occupyLondon. It is also possible to follow each groups Twitter account @occupyLSX, and so forth.

It amazes me still to see how long the media is holding out on acknowledging this isn’t a bunch of pot smoking hippies, but as has happened in NY and now in Boston, it is being helped by the Labor Unions and people of every age group and occupation! The divided has become so critical in this writers mind that it will be difficult if not impossible for them to ever regain the public trust enough to ever be considered a valid or credible news source.  So, rather than expecting to hear about the events in your area, cause there will probably be little to none, get a Twitter account or look up your specific area on Facebook to get all the news relevant to your location! And don’t believe the mainstream media when they quote the now famous “talking point” that this is an unorganized group of kids without a clear message. The message is quite clear! Occupy – United for Global Change has organized an entire World Event on Oct. 15th 2011 to show solidarity for Economic Justice, and they have done it using Social Media!

OccupyWallStreet is Evolution in the Making – Worldwide on Oct. 15th 2011

A friend recently attended at meeting the took place at Missoula’s Montana University held to explain occupywallstreet. It was hosted by a Republican and Democratic politician and led her to believe that the Democratic Party believes they are going to Co’op the Occupy Movement.

I think it is important to keep in mind that the movement may have been sourced by the need to change an entire system of abuse from both parties and shouldn’t be considered a political gesture on the part of the citizens attending to give credit to one party or the other. In fact George Washington warned Americans early on not to let a party system develop in order to “preserve” the democracy they had fought for.

One of the emplacements log echoed into the minds of Americans through the mainstream media has been the idea that anything other than the system we are supporting, mainly Capitalism, would result in socialism, communism, or worse anarchy. These things have been made to appear as the enemy of Capitalism and this paranoia has gotten so thick that even a peaceful demonstration is being called out as a Class War. It’s pathetic!

Frankly I don’t see the Occupy Movement as anything remotely resembling any of there social fears the media is attempting to project. I see it more as a shift in “Influence”. For the last 200 years, money has been the greatest source of influence on the planet and now that reign is being threatened by social media!

If you think about it, not even the rich would likely do the things they are doing, right now, if not for the rewards involved. Some people think we should just remove the money from politics to settle the matter, but they’ve been saying that since democracy started in Greece.

The fact of the matter is that what is really shifting right now is the mode of communication and information. Social media removes all the filters and allows people to organize beyond the influence of currency, and this change will have lasting effects.

So what it comes down to is not a threat to a way of life, but rather how it is influenced. It is a way for the Imbalances that have been fostered by currency influence to be restored. It is a way for the natural state of humanity, namely empathy, to be regained. This, our ancestors, knew when we were tribes living together for the sake of the tribe. That as a whole working “together” we are more capable than as individuals struggling alone.

I don’t think there is anyone to blame for what we have become, as a planet. It seems natural that we would experience thing in order to understand them;  lest we be condemned to repeat these unlearned. I think we are evolving as a Global Community and part of that is struggling to comprehend our World, and through this we grow and learn and act accordingly.

Some people have been asking me if I think the movement will lose steam. I think they are getting thus idea from the Democratic “talking points” being repeated over and over by the mainstream media. And what I believe is that you can not stop the evolution of the planet, no matter how hard one tries. In fact it only seems to be helping speed things up!!

Mainstream Media “Talking Points” That Need to be Addressed! – Occupywallstreet

An Aritle released today by the Associated Press, by Christian Salazar paints the occupywallstreet movement, which expands to a global movement on Oct. 15th, as a movement that has still NOT reached the level of “credible”.

Several “talking point” were revealed in this article that show how the mainstream media have decided to slant the issues being addressed. One of the most important factors of this PR driven slander is the very lack of attention it gives to one of the movements core ideals; that being the financial communities relationship with the World’s political systems and their combined control of the media. Not entirely surprising!

What the article does provide is plenty of “credibility” to several of their talking points, coming from past heavyweights from the social equality movement of the 60′s, namely Andrew Young, Reverend Al Sharpton, and Reverend Jesse Jackson, in order to build to build the case that the movement needs a leader in order to make real change.

I find it frustrating that these types of articles and news stories continue to compare it to the Tea Baggers, which are not even in the same league as the Occupy movements Worldwide, but seem to be more evident, on their own, a huge part of the existing paradigm. They have referred to our Constitutional Rights to free speech, freedom of assembly, and the freedom to petition the government as a Class War! How dare the media measure that as comparable.

Another “talking point” that seriously needs addressing is their total failure to acknowledge that the Occupy Movement needs some kind of leader, when clearly central leaderships have led to the current economic collapse, that has been that has been one of the core motivations behind these numbers. And frankly, Mr. Salazar, I believe it is NOT National unorganized criticisms out there… It is fucking GLOBAL!

The last of the talking points I’d like to address is the “demands of the protesters crystallizing around taxing the rich”, is ludicrous. And US Rep. Jim Clayburn of South Carolina, describing it as “the most heart warming thing since President Obama’s Election”, I consider to be one of the most condescending statements to the intelligence I’ve ever heard. Maybe these idiots just can’t fathom that we are smart enough to see through this trite, or maybe they have been so blinded by their own PR Tools that they really believe everyone is actually an idiot that wants to be spoon fed their direction in life with little sound bites.

So lets give thanks where it’s due. I hate leaving a sour note to topics. Thanks everyone who participated in this AP article, for showing your true colors. We could not have seen through your attempts to defame the hard work of millions of brilliant facilitators, coordinators, and supporters Globally, who are protesting you, specifically and everything you represent! In fact, without you, trying to define our participation in Capitalism to seem humanitarian and fare, we’d probably still be enjoying the abundance of a balanced economic system instead of gearing up for Winter on the Streets of our discontent!
