PROLETARIAN NEWS!!!

Victory for the 99 Percenters, Bank of America has dropped the 5 monthly fee to its members who uses their bank debit cards. Chase Bank has dropped its 13 dollar monthy fee for its members who uses the checking accounts. My Comrads, corporations who possess their need for greed will be defeated by the mighty hammer of justice and the sickle of peace. But there is still more greed and other kleptocracies that need to be destroyed. The U.S. Government and all the governments around the world must break away from corporate favors. Our mantra will be heard or else lose their power in office by election days in the coming years. Main Street and proletarians will have their day, brothers and sisters. Socialist democracy will be established to ever nation in this planet. Everyone will free universal health care, good schools and developing education, nice home, car, good jobs and earning priviledges. March on my comrads, the revolution is not over. We have a world to win and developing human civilazation to repair.

WORD FROM THE STREET PROPHET

For the 99 Percenters and the Spirit of Guy Fawkes.

Neda, I miss you so.

one thing that should be remembered -- the median income HAS risen 25% over the last 30 years, but it is the median HOUSEHOLD income. 30 years ago, that income was more often than not the result of one breadwinner. today it is the result of two, one of whom may hold two jobs

Biometric Door Locks and Bulletproof Windows: How Occupy Wall Street Is Scaring the Heck out of the 1%

The Times reports that “One executive contacted Insite requesting help planning his escape from the United States in the event the federal government was overthrown.”

If there's going to be an assault on the gilded gods of the financial sector, it'll more likely be a dump of someone's emails, not a bullet through their window. And there's no biometric door lock that can stop that.

These people have the right idea: occupy Mitch McConnell.

While wages for women have increased greatly, median earnings of male wage earners have remained stagnant since the late 1970s.^[6]^[7] Household income, however, has risen due the increasing number of household with more than one income earners and women's increased presence in the labor force.^[8]

Too Small to Fail: Occupy Mosier, Oregon

The smaller they are, the more they've suffered. The smaller they are, the more numerous they are. This is what the internet unifies best, the numerous suffering, the 99%. Occupy The Entire United States of America!

“Rural communities have been hit harder than anyone by the policies the Occupy movement has formed to fight,” said Corie Lahr, Mosier resident. “If we do this right, we can attract a lot of rural people to the movement.”

Multiple speakers, workshops and movies are being planned in Mosier on a range of issues from reining in corporate control over U.S. politics and shrinking an oversized military budget to supporting local credit unions, fighting plans to ship coal through the Columbia Gorge to China, and addressing wage inequality and related issues....

The group expects 15 or more tents to be set up with hundreds of people visiting the camp over the next week. The group has also invited local area Tea Party activists to the camp to share tea and round-table discussion about areas where the Tea Party and Occupy movements can agree....

That represents an opportunity for the Tea Party to shed their restrictive Koch yoke and instead hitch their wagon to the rising Occupy star.

most would, I bet, hold their noses and vote for Obama, as I will

**Danny** · November-10-11, 11:56 AM

The 99 Pecenters would vote for anyone who believes our cause and stay with the socialist principles for a promising free world. The candidate will be a [['LOCUTUS') the voice of people. This candidate will not side with anyone who is very corrupt or have a need for greed which is immoral thoughtcrime. If this candidate commited this such treason, it would lose voice to the people, impeached and be thrown out of office and be arrested. This candidate will be taken to an institution to be re-educated back to society and understand that the people's nation is the solution not self will.

My Comrades! watch your today's leaders. If they commit throughtcrime take them out of office and reform government immediately! We have a world to win, a future to balance and freedom to be understood.

"You should resign," he said, calling Bloomberg "a smaller, more embarrassing version of the tin-pot tyrants who have fallen around the world."

He gets to Bloomberg 3 minutes into his rant.

YouTube user latajacakamera — or “flying camera” in Polish — uploaded the amazing video that the drone effortlessly captured as it hovered over teargas-filled streets.

Occupy Seattle: Octogenarian activist Dorli Rainey on being pepper-sprayed by Seattle police, importance of activism

Eighty-four-year-old activist Dorli Rainey tells Keith about her experience getting pepper-sprayed by the police during an Occupy Seattle demonstration and the need to take action and spread the word of the Occupy movement. She cites the advice of the late Catholic nun and activist Jackie Hudson to “take one more step out of your comfort zone” as an inspiration, saying, “It would be so easy to say, ‘Well I’m going to retire, I’m going to sit around, watch television or eat bonbons,’ but somebody’s got to keep ’em awake and let ’em know what is really going on in this world.”
