Occupy Wall Street - Success

[Shiftin]

Same to you, as always.

What I really enjoy is the fact that due to the large use of social media (that will hopefully not get affected by SOPA or any other free-speech limiting internet bills), more news is getting out to more people. Yeah I hear the insults about "OH LOOK THEY ALL HAVE IPHONES, etc" but what the fuck would the Arab spring done without mobile phones and twitter? Information got out fast enough because everyone was ready to share it at a moment's notice. Something may happen across the country but you can experience it live via sites like livestream. Even though Facebook is sort of a blunder in the apolitical, non-corporate side of things, it is a HUGE marketing and networking tool.

Shiftin, question: would you have known about the trademark/royalties deal in NC? My assumption is no. I, too, need more details.. but I would have not heard about it had I not checked various Occupy sources.. people are digging up info, reading bills in local state and national houses/senates and dissecting then scrutinizing every thing the politicians do. I imagine that is starting to scare the shit out of some politicians/companies.



My sister came up with the explanation why all of this is happening:

Reality TV has made entertainment go down the toilet. When people lost their source of distraction all hell broke loose.

I blame all of the problems on the Kardashians.

[Shiftin]

Probably not.

And a bill banning the kardashians is change i can believe in.

I'm a citizen of the USA and a sometimes Oakland Occupier who was tear gassed and flash banged while I was dragging a 17 year old girl out of harms way because she was shot with rubber bullets for speaking truth to power in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is what is important to me:

---

Fuck your CPA Shiftin (not the fact that you're educated, but the fact that you're a cog who's been educated to support the economic monster).

Fuck everyones current jobs and the industries that they support.

Fuck you.

Fuck your credit card and your mortgage.

Fuck your bank.

Fuck the Senators shitting up our government.

Fuck the Representatives doing the same thing.

And the President.

And every fucking non-whistle blower that has ever been a part of this system.

Did I mention: fuck you?

Fuck your guns, I have guns too. And I'm can be more than a little imbalanced after watching youtubes of big dumb jocks in worthless, meaningless blue uniforms beating up highly educated little girls who are trying to fulfill their end of the social contract between every citizen of this country and this countries founding documents to provide a better life for the jocks and their children. Come at me bro.

Fuck your "service" as a mercenary, and fuck your brainwashing.

Fuck every single motherfucker that has ever used a cost-benefit-analysis to give a real person substandard anything, but especially medical care.

Fuck debt society.

Fuck the entire home loan industry. Seriously, kill 'em all.

Tear this whole shit down. Kill everyone who thinks that the old dynasty was a good idea.

Reinstate the revolutionary ideas left to us by the fathers of this country, without the influence of money in politics, and without banks having any power - like they told us.

Stop borrowing any money from anyone. Write them all a big IOU, and explain that although it will be some time before our next payment, we WILL address our debt after we square our house.

Disband the entire military except the few air force video jocks needed to man defensive drones.

Instate a new military order made up of mostly pissed off 20 something militant lesbians, and make all actions based on -isms a crime punishable by a fucking bullet in your head a la Judge Dredd.

Shoot anyone who was involved over an arbitrary level with the old dynasty.

Shoot anyone who was a police officer.

Shoot anyone who was involved in any -ism group, except the black panthers, because black on white racism is OK.

Start a nationalized company called U.S. Standard, which makes everything, at a standard level of quality and the cheapest possible price point, and allow regulated capitalism to compete with that standard.

Completely outlaw patents and intellectual property of any kind.

Assign cheap but safe housing to every citizen. Make this state of affairs legit enough to survive without fear, but uncomfortable enough to make other options very enticing.

Control companies so that other options are not fucking out of fucking reach.

Shoot anyone who breaks any law to get money.

---

Now.. Aren't you glad that the first crackpot theories Occupiers had didn't get immediately seized upon by the entire movement?

I guarantee you that although this list is mostly overblown, it is mild in it's current state compared to the agendas of many of the people who have been most trampled upon by the current system.

Occupy is taking its time. The people who are moving and shaking are carefully considering what our actual goals are to be, once the initial shock of our existence passes.

None of us is stupid enough to think that any of us have real answers at this point.

However, there is a central message of Occupy that is clear, absolutely focused, and beyond debate.

"Shit is fucked up."

If you want us to rush in, more chaos will ensue. What is being done now is measured, intelligent, and effective.

..and that is what you're afraid of.

I'm the reason why Occupy Wall Street is not relevant to the masses and will peter out in lieu of an organization capable of pushing reform

Attorney General Martha Coakley said on Thursday the lawsuit was filed in state court in Boston against Bank of America Corp, JPMorgan Chase & Co Inc, Citigroup Inc, Wells Fargo & Co and Ally Financial.

If you want to know why Occupy Raleigh and Occupy Winston-Salem mic-checked John Stumpf to tell him why he's a bad leader and why he shouldn't be speaking at the "Executive Series" seminar at business colleges:

30 lawsuits in the one year he's been there. Granted some are from previous years' actions, but do you see a pattern?

Nine previous out of court settlements and court ordered settlements amount to over $1.2B.

when you were flashbanged was it like Call of Duty where you look around slow and everything is ringing and it kills you if it hits you in the face and stuff?
