occupy movement

Wow, who could have seen this one coming? :rolleyes: http://www.politicususa.com/2014/05/17/americanspringexcuses-overtakes-twitter-operation-american-spring-epic-fail.html Seems like these clowns took a page from the Cliven Bundy book of... whatever...

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/09/23/intel_stuns_world_with_wakeon3g/ Interestingly all of the above relies on an 'undocumented feature' for which no evidence exists and 'truther' now seems to be a catch all word for CTs...

According to Amitai Etzioni at The Atlantic, the liberal narrative is broken and populism is the only way out. Whatever that means. As far as I can tell this "liberal narrative" is: Really? That is the liberal narrative? Huh. I didn't realize it was so simple. I expected something...

Here is a current event happening at 7pm today, 2/29/12 (leap day). It takes place at my college, IPFW. It has a live feed. Not sure if it will be available later. So, if you are lurking around and have time to "waste"... http://www.wane.com/subindex/video/video_01 Sorry for the short notice...

One phrase jumps out at you on this blog... I will give you a hint, the phrase contains a word that rhymes with "HOT-Z"! And using this word to describe Obama is only putting the Occupy Movement at the level of the Tea Party! What's next? Misspelled hyperboles...

Which protestor has a better gripe? This guy? bgec9WX21ik Or this guy? WmEHcOc0Sys Just for the record, I'm not so sure the 2nd guy is an OWS protestor more than he is just a passer-by who got pissed at the cops being typically unprofessional. I will add that the 2nd guy shares my...

After watching several videos related to OWS violence and following the trails of people who like to complain about such trivial nonsense as "littering in the streets", "improper hygiene", and what real "losers" these people are, I have noticed a pattern in the violence and I'm sure this won't...

My Occupy LA Arrest, by Patrick Meighan But, I suppose they all deserved it, for disobeying the police when they were told to disperse.

Occupy Congress on Jan. 17: ‘Largest Occupy protest ever’ It'll be funny to hear what the naysayers have to say about this. They said OWS shouldn't protest in a park. Well, they aren't in a park anymore... Yes, yes, YES, a thousand times YES.

Are you down with OPP?

Very eye-opening article from Naomi Wolf in The Guardian UK: (emphases mine)

The title says it all. Using minimal force on people blocking a street is sensible. Gratuitously pepper spraying people who are sitting legally on grass by the side of the street isn't. Justifying it with an explicit, direct lie shows the arrogance and confidence held by the thugs. The fact...

They ARE! screwing you, and yes! it is very much a conspiracy, quite literally so, don't think twice about its being otherwise...... I wandered over to the Occupy Oakland General assembly last evening to try and get a feel for what the "occupy movement" was all about. A group of 300 or...

I've had about enough of the Occupy Whatever street theater. I really have. And I agree with most of the mainstream ideas these folks are pushing. We've legislated our way into an unhealthy wealth disparity, the pay gap between execs and workers is too large, a very small number of people...

Occupy someone else’s Yard Howie Carr in the Boston Herald

I have a few right wing friends and I suppose thats how I got on this mailing list. I get this newsletter regularly form "Ameripac" and this week's installment was particularly stupid-filled. Its the exact same look and feel (and crazy) of a regular second amendment newsletter I get, so I...

How do people with no job go on strike? http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/02/us/occupy-demonstrators/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 This pretty much sums it up:

I was in central Wellington last night, and discovered we have a local chapter of the "Occupy" movement camped in a park near the waterfront. The park is just behind the Wellington City Library. It is all very low-key and apparently has the blessing of the local council. Basically, it looks...

Okay, I have two premises Premise 1: I think this Occupy movements are astroturf -- it's just a larger scale and left-wing version of the tea-baggers. How do you confirm this premise?: Premise 2: Astroturfing is being increasingly used as a tool of political control whereby powerful interests...

As far as I know I'm not quoting excessive large lines of text. I am quoting multiple sources, though only small segments. Wikipedia on Zuccotti Park Reuters' Description of Brookfield Properties Reuters' Description of Brookfield Asset Management What I'm wondering is this: Why are...

I think this has come up before. Occupy Phoenix Joined by AE911Truth Action Group In Vancouver, one of my favorite Truther nuts was on Youtube expressing his solidarity Y-k_oPJ01wM This may have something to do with the decision that led to a 9/11 Truther being blocked from speaking. From the FB...

Rather than knock on them for their many faults. Let's get to the meat of what they should be demanding if they wanted to do something about what they are mad about. End agricultural subsidies. Cut DOD spending 20%. Close corporate tax loopholes. Subsidize state universities to close tuition...

So I can't make it all the way to NY, but luckily there's a protest in both Dallas and Ft. Worth. I've been watching the live streaming video (http://www.livestream.com/globalrevolution), and it looks like a lot of fun, at least for an afternoon. I contacted the ground crew in Dallas, and...

http://crooksandliars.com/nicole-belle/chris-hayes-you-cant-be-protester-and So bunch of protesters went to their bank with a sign that said "I AM CLOSING MY BOA ACCOUNT TODAY" to do just that, and the bank refused to allow them to close their accounts. Other than the usual anger, I'm just...

Yeah, when the "occupy things in the name of protesting corporate malfeasance" movement came to my locality they decided to give it a Halloween theme. Thus a Walking Dead meets political activist fusion thing happened. I don't know if I should be proud my locality did it so different or afraid...

NY 'Occupy Wall Street' Protests Evolved from Magazine Appeal So the question is will this fact be used to argue that the movement was caused by foreign sources (even though these foreigners are Canadian) and thus could be considered subversion, thus justifying stamping them and their...

Occupy Wall St.'s drumbeat grows louder Here's some of those who have heard: Former Sen. Feingold was one of the most liberal Senators and has generally fought for working class people, so I'm not surprised at his remarks. On the other hand, there's those who don't get it: Yes, they...
