OCCUPYWALLSTREET REINFORCEMENTS!

Rommel drives on deep into Egypt: forsaken, fucking in the cold, eating each other, lost, runny noses, complaining all the time like so many people that we know.

[cowboyangel]

Glad that you brought up Rommel Bob. Rommel stood up to Hitler, wasn't part of the Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg plot but expressed opinions hostile to the fuhrer and his doomed regime and paid for that with his life. Likewise we need a military uprising to stop the drone attacks, wars in Afghanistan and soon Iran and an end to our truly mentally ill sector of the defense establishment and their suicidal drain on the American economy

Johnny will really hit those microphones and those cameras with blood all over him, fighting off anyone who tries to help him, defending America even if it means his own death, rallying a nation of television viewers to hysteria, to sweep us up into the White House with powers that will make martial law seem like anarchy

BTDT saw too many flaws with the non-violent let the cops mace and lrad us SOP. Also dont see 99 percent of THIS country coming together, tho it sounds good. While I still oppose NWO, GMO, WTO, and everything else thats wrong with the world I had to move on with life. I went to many different occupy camps and saw it all, from NYC to MIA to LA and many in between. The next time I occupy it will be at first camp, themecamp announced so please join up if you've occupied or support the movements goals of a sustainable future with people before profits.

Tell everyone that fracking for gas is bad and hho is good.

Suppose you were going to design a society from scratch. Would you create what we have now? Or would you start, for instance, by reforming the most egregious distortions of campaign finance? As matters stand, Goldman Sachs has been able to buy the right to name who is going to be Treasury Secretary. They selected Geithner, who gave them $29 billion from A.I.G. just before he was appointed. It’s like that all down the line – in both parties. Every Democratic congressional committee chairman has to pay to the Party a $150,000 to buy the chairmanship. This means that the campaign donors get to determine who gets committee chairmanships. This is oligarchy, not democracy. So the system is geared to favor whoever can grab the most money. Wall Street does it by financial siphoning and asset stripping. Politicians do it by getting money from the beneficiaries – the 1%.

Once people realize that they’re being screwed, that’s a pre-revolutionary situation. It’s a situation where they can get a lot of sympathy and support, precisely by not doing what The New York Times and the other papers say they should do: come up with some neat solutions. They don’t have to propose a solution because right now there isn’t one – without changing the system with many, many changes. So many that it’s like a new Constitution. Politics as well as the economy need to be restructured. What’s developing now is how to think about the economic and political problems that are bothering people. It is not radical to realize that the economy isn’t working. That is the first stage to realizing that a real alternative is needed. We’ve been under a radical right-wing attack – and need to respond in kind. The next half-year probably will be spent trying to spell out what the best structure would be.

There is no way to clean up the mess that the Democratic Party has become since politics moved into Wall Street’s pockets. The Republicans also have become a party of lobbyists. So it looks like there is no solution within the existent system. This is a revolutionary, radical situation. The longer that the OWS groups can spend on diagnosing the problem and explaining how far wrong the system has gone, the longer the demonstrators can gain support by showing that they share the feelings everybody has these days – a feeling of being victimized. This is what is creating a raw material that has to potential to flower into political activism, perhaps by spring or summer next year.

The most important message is that all this impoverishment and indebtedness is unnecessary. There is no inherent economic reason for things to be this way. It is not really the way that “markets” need to work. There are many kinds of markets, with many different sets of rules. So the important task is to explain to people how many possibilities there are to make things better. And of course, this is what frightens politicians, Wall Street lobbyists and the other members of the pro-oligarchic army of financial raiders.


a little more:

To restore the kind of normalcy that made America rich, most important long-term policy would be to recognize what is going to be inevitable for every economy. Debts need to be written down – and the politically easiest way to cut through the tangle is to write them off altogether. That would free the bottom 99% from their debt bondage to the top 1%. It would be a Clean Slate, starting over – and trying to do things right this time around. The creditors have not used the banking system to make America more productive and richer. They have used it as a vehicle to reduce the population to debt serfdom.

A debt write-down sounds radical and unworkable, but it’s been done since World War II with great success. It is the program the Allies carried out in the German economy in that country’s 1947 currency reform. This was the policy that created Germany’s Economic Miracle. And America could experience a similar miracle.

Any economy would benefit from cancelling the bad debts that have been built up. Keeping them on the books will handcuff the economy and cause debt deflation by diverting income to pay debt service rather than to spend on goods and services. We are going into a new economic depression – not just a “Great Recession” – because most spending is now on finance, insurance and real estate, not on goods and basic services. So markets are shrinking, and unemployment is rising. That is what will happen if debts are not written down.

I think that while next year will be interesting with more protests, most likely people in the US will be caught up and divided by presidential election politics. The 1% know they have to put on a really good show to deflect the coming protests, so expect there to be lots of scandals and other distractions in this race. But the following spring of 2013 is when I expect the real fireworks to begin when all excuses will have been exhausted and people realize they are stuck with a new set of clowns and no change.

You can only dream about participating in buy nothing day with more money to not spend.

And this is where I tell you to get a job, and point out my virtue in working the day after thanksgiving and how 1% and hard-working I am, because I tell you it's not because I want that day off some other time of the year (like last week of August) and to keep me from participating in buy useless crap day out of sheer ennui.

[Simon of the Playa]

YOU'RE RUINING IT FOR ME!!!


i'm going to go to FAO Schwartz and sulk.

[theCryptofishist]

I suggest you go armed...

[Simon of the Playa]

im not sure how i feel about this becoming a nation of people who assault each other with "food products".

[gyre]

Here we've had people armed with pepper spray and guns break into lines.

Doesn't seem unlikely to have to defend yourself.

Kelly said pepper spray is "like a derivative of real pepper. It's a food product essentially."

A petition is circulating on the Internet that suggests Kelly should put her eyeballs where her mouth is by getting sprayed with the substance on live television.

Congress declared that it's a vegetable, thus all college students will be required to have it as part of a healthy diet.

Yeah. ONe of the great advantages of being in a wheelchair is that your chances of having your buttcrack filmed and put on the internet are small.
