Occupy Wall Street

**coracle** · December-17-11, 01:39 PM

Thanks for putting me right Searay215. I don't read Time. A colleague told me about the cover and it sounded believable at the Time. Anyway I used as an excuse it to express my distaste for the Occupy movement and Time magazine - which I stand by [[and some). But did you have to associate me with Glen Beck? That was a low blow and it'll take some Time to get over it!

afraid of the truth? well, guess you can't even bother to look at the cover to verify the drivel you soak up and spew, since it is obviously a middle eastern person on the cover. you didn't even have to strain your intellect to read

Yet another Liberal crap magazine that should be printed in rolls.

Papantonio: Why The Occupy Movement Needs Your Support

**judymcfarlane** · December-19-11, 07:54 PM

As is Congress. Good quote. "Politicians should be forced to wear shirts like NASCAR drivers stating their corporate sponsors." It's def. not just Detroit. It's a coast to coast E. W. N. S. rotten situation.

Scott Olsen, Vet Wounded at Occupy Oakland, on Recovery, Protests, Iraq & Bradley Manning

DemocracyNow.org - Democracy Now! interviews someone who became one the faces of the global Occupy movement this year. Scott Olsen, a 24-year-old former U.S. Marine who served two tours in the Iraq war, was critically wounded after being shot in the head by a police projectile at Occupy Oakland. In a rare interview, Olsen joins us to discuss his life-threatening ordeal, his involvement in this year's historic Wisconsin and Occupy protests, the case of accused Army whistleblower Bradley Manning and how he too had access to similar types of information, and the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. "They aren't respecting our right to assemble, protest and redress our government for grievances," Olsen says of police repression of the Occupy protests. "They are terrorizing us from going out [to demonstrations]. That is a sad statement for our country." Olsen also says he expects to rejoin the Occupy and antiwar protests as his recovery progresses. "I look forward to being a part of the 99 percent and Iraq Veterans Against the War in 2012," he says.

Excellent catch. Note the conspicuously theatrical jeans. No attempt to deceive there at all, eh?

Pay no attention to the theatrical jeans behind the curtain! LOL!

Robert Reich: "The REAL Public Nuisance"

Robert Reich breaks some knowledge on the REAL public nuisance. OCCUPY DEMOCRACY.

The First Amendment is being stood on its head....The Supreme Court's rulings have created the public nuisance, opening the floodgates of unlimited and often secret contributions....

The real public nuisance is the tsunami of big money into politics....

We don't have the money to influence politicians directly.

Wealthy interests have "taken cuts" in the waiting line between ourselves and our representatives. They feel they don't need to wait their turn like the rest of us.

They're just seven parts of the same lecture by the authors. Lots of graphs. USA almost always an outlier. American exceptionalism! [[exceptionally ill, socially)

My Conrades! We the 99 Percenters will sleep until the American Spring begins. Our occupy centers will be occupied. Our signs of proletarian demands will rise and th Spirit of Guy Fawkes will be in our hearts. We are the 99% want the 1% to stay out of government. Next time your corporations fail and jobs are lost, its your own greed that cause the ecomonic hardships. My brothers and sisters we will come out of hibernation and roar like the mighty grizzly bears in the forests. Our mantra will be heard as polticians take their offices come November. America will be reformed back to its democratic socialist roots with no consevative ideology. We will feed our children with the knowledge of true freedom and justice in order to provide a better American Dream.
