#OCCUPYWALLSTREET campaign - September 17

[seemslikeadream]

[Elvis]

"The Protester" sure looks a lot like "a terrorist."

And Kate Middleton---a runner up?

Time magazine--->dustbin.

[Nordic]

TIME magazine is pure propaganda.

Interesting to analyze that photo ......

She strikes me as obviously Arab, and of course female. Why female?

And there's something about the eyebrows coming together .....

Notice the eyes!

Stars and crescents, turned on their side.





And there's something about that forehead shape that's ominous. Can't put my finger on it.

TIME is really good at visual propaganda, believe me.

Chris Hedges reads from his essay about religion and the Occupy Wall Street Movement.

[Hugh Manatee Wins]

The 'occupy' movement was initiated by TPTBe as both venting and thematic hijacking of the fact that...
the USA is occupied by its own military...especially using media as the moving part of doctrines called:
> Stability Operations
> Low Intensity Conflict
> Counter-Insurgency
> Psychological Operations

[Hugh Manatee Wins]

Poor Chris Hedges. So right but so unable to tell %100 of the truth.
He can't say 'CIA-Pentagon occupation of the US.'

So he rails against the co-opted Left institutions.
Which CIA sabotaged over decades.

There's a citation of this syndrome of anger against allies-perceived-as-betrayers in the Pentagon's psyops manuals.
And Hedges is being allowed to blame the victims as much as he wants to. Because it helps to drain the final drops of public support of the Left.

That protester looks like Erykah Badu to me.

You are pathetic, man. Really, can you ever tolerate anything other than your tired spiel? What do you suggest besides a general strike, port shutdowns, massive public protests, and coordinated computer hacking, all of which have had a powerful effect on The Powers That Be, to the point where they are explicitly admitting that is is affecting them negatively? Do you want everyone to come in out of the street and start bitching about the CIA on the internet? Do you ever have any productive suggestions? Who exactly in "TPTBe" initiated the Occupy movement? Really, I want to know. Cause it sounds like a load of horse shit and what you are saying looks a lot more like the kind of disruption of the left that you are always bitching about than anything else. Go ahead and tell us then, exactly what should be done, since the largest mass uprising since the 1930s is not enough for you, and you know exactly what needs to happen.

And everyone here already knows what you are going to say, but go ahead and say it anyway just to get your bizarre kicks, or whatever it is that motivates you to annoy everyone on this board.

Thanks for that undead. Its really bizzare. TPTB are orchestrating this, yet it is causing Obama's reelection campaign FITS! A certain democratic message board is in civil war. Guess who is anti OWS. Point being OWS is an ugly sore upon Obama that refuses to be hidden.

And yes, what the fuck are we supposed to do? Its way past time to DO something. Unless you're HMW, then we just sit back and let them destroy everything. Fuck that. That is like AJ bashing OWS because they aren't focusing on the Fed (even though a subset ARE). HMW wants OCCUPY WALL STREET to camp out in Langley I guess.

Big up to people who do something besides bitch about problems.

Somebody Should Do Something About All the Problems

Heare Me Out
By Edith Heare
August 21, 1996 | ISSUE 44•27 ISSUE 30•02

Why isn't anyone doing anything about all the problems? We're living in a time with super computers and underwater sea stations and million-dollar laboratories. And still, everyday when I watch the TV news shows I see all sorts of problems!

What are the scientists doing with all that technology? Just sitting on their patoots? Just yesterday there was another plane crash. Isn't that what we have radar for? Why isn't someone taking care of that?

And then there's all those people starving. You can't tell me that we can't figure out a way to feed them. What about all those high-energy vitamin supplements I read about? And what about the dehydrated space food? Someone has got to start putting this information to good use.

Somebody should get on the stick and start using all those high-powered electronic microscopes to cure cancer, that's what I think. There must be someone making money off of these diseases.

So many people are dying in the world. We have laser surgery, don't we? Isn't somebody using that? They put a baboon heart in a human, you know. They can make body parts out of plastic and put little camera probes in your body. Then why are there so many people dying?

All this technology—robots, big machines, atomic power—and still they say we are in an energy crisis. Why isn't anyone working on a better way to make electricity? You should see my bill every month. Here we are in the most powerful country in the world and I can't afford to run my air conditioner so I could get one night of good rest once in awhile.

They have all those space-age plastics and superconductors just sitting in a lab somewhere, but last week they tell me my muffler is rusted through. So now I roar and rattle down the street sounding like a tank division.

Who is going to start making something decent? What about everything I read in Time?

It's a downright shame. Is there no morality in science? Last night I tried to have a barbecue on my back patio and I ran inside before the spicy shish-kabobs were even half-grilled because of the mosquitoes. With all that chemical engineering going on today, with all that military technology, I should at least be able to sip a sloe gin and sour without getting run out of my own yard by something smaller than my fingernail!

And now I have shingles again. With the hundreds of thousands of doctors all over this world, you are telling me that not one of them can do anything about this pain? It's killing me. This is the 20th century, isn't it? We put a man on the moon, and I can't find an hour of relief from the swelling? Can't someone assign a team to this problem and get something done for once?

Then there's the fact that my kids never visit me. Here I sit all alone wondering when they'll come. We have jet planes that break the sound barrier, but Ginny can't make it from Elk Grove once a month so I can see my own flesh and blood? The Hubble sent down pictures of the galaxy, but I have yet to see my granddaughter's fourth-grade school portraits!

They build a wall across China and a thousand years later I'm still putting up with my neighbor's pine trees dropping cones all over my front lawn! Isn't this a democracy? Have we stood still since Rome?

I hear jabber-jabbering about the discovery of new subatomic particles. What good is a quark to me? Three and a half minutes it takes to cook a bag of microwave popcorn. Three and a half minutes!

Someone is spending a billion dollars a minute to send radio messages into space, and I have to choke down a bag of Pop-Secret kernels that are only half buttered, some not even popped to full puff. God, I pray for a future when the inventor is the friend of mankind.

DNA fingerprinting—that's what they're doing now. And still strawberries at Bergmann's are $2.99 a quart. It's ludicrous. It's as if we live in the Dark Ages.

Cloned genes and fiber optics, but the cat still goes into heat and scratches up my new mahogany coffee table. I kicked that thing as hard as I could with my good leg and it still came back screeching and wagging its fanny like a Broadway showgirl.

Isn't there something someone can do about that? I'm sure with all the vaccines and hybrid cells and carbon dating equipment we've got today someone can take a minute to whip up a pill I can force down Pumpkin's throat so I have one decent thing in this shoebox house that I worked like a dog at the phone company for 27 years in order to afford.

These are the good years for me? Huh! I'm still watering my flowers and hosing off my driveway. Where is the fiber optics in that? How's superconductivity helping me when my new cotton housedress shrank up to nothing the first time I put it in the dryer? I see all the technology they talk about on the television and I ask you, who's doing anything with it? No one, and it's a dirty rotten shame.

The co-opted union bureaucracies are not the victims. Their members are the victims. The union bureaucracies need to be decapitated (figuratively speaking of course) in order to have a realy democratic union. They do not serve the people, they are puppets. What you are seeing now is the real left. The Democratic Party is not the left, and the AFL-CIO is not the left. These institutions need to be scrapped so that something better can be made. That's a revolution.

Greece: Co-opted Union Head Attacked. Employees Refuse to Print Austerity Legislation

Excerpts from http://libcom.org/news/long-battles-eru ... h-05032010

All was quiet until the GSEE union boss Mr Panagopoulos took the microphone to address the protest. Before managing to utter more than five words, the hated union boss was attacked by all kinds of protestors who first heckled him and threw bottles of water and yogurt on his face and then attacked him physically like a giant swarm... the PASOK lackey struggled his way towards police lines... Finally he managed to hide behind the Presidential Guard and up the steps of the Parliament where the hated austerity measures were being voted. The crowd below encouraged him to go where he belongs, to the lair of thieves, murderers and liars.

This is the first time such a high ranking union boss is attacked at a rally that its union has called, and the act is widely believed to mark a new era in union history in greece.

During the clashes many riot shields and helmets were taken from the cops and burned along with other flaming barricades on the streets.

Further down on the way to Omonoia, protesters attacked a riot police squad that was guarding the National Legal Council. The riot police squad was cornered and attacked by means of sticks rocks and flares, before being forced to retreat inside the building

The workers of the National Printing Units have occupied the premises and refuse to print the legislation imposing the austerity measures.

Just to be fair to the AFL-CIO - to bad they didn't do this forty years ago.

Statement by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka On Occupy Wall Street
October 05, 2011

Occupy Wall Street has captured the imagination and passion of millions of Americans who have lost hope that our nation's policymakers are speaking for them. We support the protesters in their determination to hold Wall Street accountable and create good jobs. We are proud that today on Wall Street, bus drivers, painters, nurses and utility workers are joining students and homeowners, the unemployed and the underemployed to call for fundamental change. Across America, working people are turning out with their friends and neighbors in parks, congregations and union halls to express their frustration – and anger -- about our country's staggering wealth gap, the lack of work for people who want to work and the corrupting of our politics by business and financial elites. The people who do the work to keep our great country running are being robbed not only of income, but of a voice. It is time for all of us—the 99 percent—to be heard.

As we did when we marched on Wall Street last year, working people call on corporations, big banks, and the financial industry to do their part to create good jobs, stop foreclosures and pay their fair share of taxes.

· Wall Street and corporate America must invest in America: Big corporations should invest some of the $2 trillion in cash they have on hand, and use it to create good jobs. And the banks themselves should be making credit more accessible to small businesses, instead of parking almost $1 trillion at the Federal Reserve.

· Stop foreclosures: Banks should write down the 14 million mortgages that are underwater and stop the more than 10 million pending foreclosures to stop the downward spiral of our housing markets and inject more than $70 billion into our economy.

· Fund education and jobs by taxing financial speculation: A tiny tax on financial transactions could raise hundreds of billions in revenue that could fund education and create jobs rebuilding our country. And it would discourage speculation and encourage long term investment.

We will open our union halls and community centers as well as our arms and our hearts to those with the courage to stand up and demand a better America.

> Counter-Insurgency

I don't know about thematic hijacking but otherwise I'm afraid Hugh is right undead. JMHO of course, but none of this Ajax business has ever struck me as anything but hack propaganda foisted upon naive, idealistic and/or broke populations to achieve the usual ends: weaken and remove any pretense of resistance to banksters and their oil-MIC buds. Look at Greece. Maybe you didn't like Papandreou, and maybe you were 1000% right, but how on earth is an unelected bankster like Papademos better? Ditto Italy, Spain, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, and let's not forget Oakland, Sacto and DC. Sure these pols are weasels, they all are on some level, but at least they were elected. You can thank our industrious cadre of intel stooges for depriving much of the world of even a pretense of democracy, and yes they are all around us, like snow falling on the Bog of Allen at the end of "The Dead," undead. Hugh sees spooks, you see snowflakes, but spooks they are.

Democracy should be put above markets, said Papandreou. Berlusconi said that the appointment of a government of technocrats would be “an undemocratic coup” that ignored the 2008 election result. But it is still happening.

In Greece, Lucas Papademos will become prime minister. He was head of the Greek central bank when Greece joined the euro and boasts of his leading role in achieving that. Now he takes over in order to keep Greece in the euro, a decision that now President Nicolas Sarkozi says was “a mistake.”

Papademos was in charge when Greek officials lied about their fiscal position to the EU authorities and he presided over the failure of the Greek government to collect taxes from rich Greeks (like himself). But he is now the financial markets’ own man.

Greece is to be run by the very man most responsible for getting them into this mess. It's like Alan Greenspan taking over as President of the United States after Wall Street demanded President Obama step down for failing to cut entitlement spending enough to balance the budget!

So, how did the Powers That Be initiate OWS? I didn't hear that, just apologetics for one of the scumfuck families that has been stealing Greece's IMF loans for the last 30 years. And what is the alternative to a mass uprising? Voting for liberal politicians? What is your point, other than to just agree with the totally baseless slander that Occupy Wall Street is somehow a controlled fake left distraction? Is it "making the left look bad?" What?
