Prepare your hankie for the sad story of a Wall St. executive who needed our help and generosity...to keep his kids in private schools.
When was the last time you heard anyone talk about 'shared sacrifice' and 'austerity?' Exactly.
The pepper spraying incident at UC Davis is still fresh in all of our minds yet police in California decided to one-up themselves at UC Riverside on Thursday, where students came out to protest a Board of Regents meeting.
There's a fine line between disappointment and throwing a temper tantrum. Why is it that understanding that Obama is not perfect makes one an "Obot Apologist?"
Based on the limited conversations I have overheard in truckstop diners, auto service center waiting rooms, and gas station checkout lines, this is what Occupy's message sounds like to my neighbors, 'wealth is bad. As an aside, we are college graduates from relatively affluent backgrounds who feel entitled to well-paying white collar jobs.'
On Saturday, a driver kicked 13 passengers off his Greyhound bus after discovering that they were Occupy protesters from San Diego en route to Washington DC. The driver, Don Ainsworthy, allegedly shouted at them, called them 'you people' and told them they weren't welcome in the nation's capital or anywhere else for that matter....
Willard Mitt Romney is the personification of the unctuous, deceptive greed and mortgage bubble lending that lead to the great economic abortion of 2008.
I read an article recently, which compared the origins of the Occupy Wall Street movement to the origins of the Tea Party movement. As someone who has paid attention to both movements, I believe nothing could be further from the truth. Below are just 15 differences between the Occupy Wall Street protests, and...
The racists on the right don't even have to try anymore. All they need to do is add the 'warning' in reference a quote from Barack Obama, Michelle Obama or Van Jones and they cower like a Chihuahua during a thunderstorm.
The NYPD is, at this very moment, allowing protesters to cross the barricades into Zuccotti Park. Why? Because the NYCLU is threatening to take legal action if police do not back down.
In the absence of traditional media coverage that Tea Party protests enjoyed, the Occupy movement has been largely ignored and has had to rely on cell phone footage and livestream internet feeds to show the American public what's been happening.
Whether you agree with the Occupy movement or not, there is a time and place for your voice to be heard, and heard most effectively.
CNN is reporting that an NYPD officer was stabbed on New Years Eve night by an OWS protester as the officer attempted to arrest the protester. The incident reportedly occurred following the re-occupying of Zuccotti Park and the march that followed.
On this morning's Fox and Friends, Fox News' Legal Analyst Peter Johnson, Jr. is good...really good. Not only did he try to marginalize the Occupy protestors, he managed to rally around the troops in the same two minute and 55 second segment.
It seems many of us have forgotten the Occupy Movement. While we gear up for Christmas and New Year's celebrations, hundreds of thousands of Americans are still in the streets, protesting Wall Street and fighting for social justice. To that end, OccupyMarines have renewed their vow to defend the protesters from the brutality of...
At a recent campaign stop in Pella, Iowa, presidential candidate Rick Santorum (R - PA) made special note of his (and the majority of his party’s) views on economic reform as relevant to today’s socio-economic upheavals.
Showing how out of touch they are with everyday Americans, conservatives have latched onto the news that the share of national income taken in by the top 1% fell from 23% in 2007 to 'only' 17% in 2009 to contend that the focus of Occupy Wall Street and others on economic inequality is somehow...
If blue-collar cops in this country really buy the idea that the OWS movement is contrary to their personal and professional interests, it would seem that the 1% have once again, effectively turned some of the 99% against each other.
Please feel free to contact the NYPD and offer your opinions Michael DeRosa, Sr., George Cruz, Wayne Rhatigan, Rey Hernandez and Michael DeMeo. Please share and ask your friends to do the same. It's time to toss out some bad apples.
I don't want to say that cops are out of control. I don't want to say that they are treating American citizens as Abu Ghraib prisoners. I don't want to say that because I don't actually believe that. I still believe that the majority of police officers are in their jobs for the right...
Is it the man or woman who lives in a tent, day after day, to fight for your rights? Is it that man or woman who lives on lands that are foreign to them? Is it that man and woman who, each and every day, does not know if someone carrying a weapon will...
Transparency International reports that the United States now ranks the 24th least corrupt on a "corruption perceptions index," and only the fourth least corrupt in the western hemisphere. When Bill Clinton was president, we were the third least corrupt globally. That is a huge tumble.
The current historical trend of occupying public space to address social issues began in the Middle East and Spain. When Occupy Wall Street started a U.S. occupy movement, encouraged by an advertisement in the Canadian magazine Adbusters, on September 17, 2011, the mainstream media and public officials were caught off guard.
Occasional human being and pretend presidential candidate Michele Bachmann took a swipe at Occupy Wall Street movement Sunday, saying that the movement is far less likely to gain traction with Americans than the Tea Party.
Republican strategist Frank Luntz, whose sole job is to massage and twist facts so as to neatly coincide with the GOP corporate agenda, is naturally worried about the political ramifications of Occupy Wall Street.
The recent pepper spraying 'incident' at the University of California at Davis represents more than an opportunity to create a cleverly photoshopped, viral meme. The act is part and parcel of a larger collective mindset--a proclivity towards authoritarian overreaction now deeply internalized in daily life in the U.S.
In times of great need, Americans have answered the call to action in the effort to push America towards a brighter future. This is one of those times. On November 17, 2011, Americans across the country took to the streets and began a massive day of protests against corporate greed, corrupt politicians, big banks,...
I once had a boss who refused to give me a raise the year he and his wife bought a big, expensive house. 'You have done a great job for us this year. I don't know what we'd do without you, but we just can't afford it right now,' he said.
The Occupy Wall Street protesters have been standing against the big banks for a few months now. They are protesting the greed, irresponsibility, and fraud that banks like Bank of America, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase commit on a daily basis. The big banks of Wall Street caused an economic collapse.
Two Occupy Wall Street encampments were cleared overnight. An encampment in Philadelphia was raided followed by another sweeping raid by LAPD in Los Angeles.
Matters pertaining to the Federal Reserve has largely been relegated to Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul, but Alan Grayson breathed new life into the Fed's sordid dealings during an appearance on Countdown last night.
Recently, Citigroup made similar offer to the federal government to the tune of $285 million in return for dropping the charges it defrauded investors. The deal would quietly wrap-up Citi's case without admitting guilt. Under the deferred prosecution directive, the deal looked like a gimme.
The Los Angles Authorities should be commended for their handling of issues related to Occupy Los Angeles.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is not a distraction from — but serves as an alternative to — the disingenuous theatrics staged by the political hacks of this faux republic.
The Occupy Wall Street Movement, now in its third month of existence is growing exponentially on a global scale and it is not going to end anytime soon. What began with a single person holding a sign in Zuccotti Park in New York City rapidly evolved into an aggressive global socio-economic movement.
Outfitted in best-of-tech riot gear against the unarmed “occupiers,” Lt. John Pike of the UC Davis police approached the group of students and began attacking them with peppy spray, forcing them to cover their faces.
Two officers who actively sprayed the sitting students have been placed on leave. Linda Katehi, Chancellor UCD, said that the acts of the officers were ' abhorrent.'
I often find myself recalling my days of active duty. I also find myself thinking about how tough a life our current vets will have as they rotate out of the military.
The social political right continues a self-serving and greedy agenda that benefits only those of higher incomes and those who want to see the nation turned into a 50 state oligarchy.
After centuries of seeing the good that comes from protest and civil disobedience, I find it unfathomable that the authorities still feel behavior such as the video spraying of peaceful protesters is effective.
In a time of unprecedented economic quality and unemployment (see Occupy Movements), in which the top one percent control 42 percent of financial wealth while 15 percent of the country is on food stamps and unemployment is still hanging at 9.1 percent.
Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez of Idaho Falls, Idaho drove to Washington with an assault rifle and other weapons after telling people in his home state that he “needed” to assassinate the president, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Washington.
After the NYPD evicted the Occupy Wall Street protesters from Zuccotti Park on Tuesday morning, attorneys secured a court order telling police to allow the protesters back into the park. Instead, police ignored the order and sealed the park
One day after Mayor Bloomberg imposed 'Operation Shut Down the 99 Percent' and evicted OWS protestors from Zuccotti Park without even so much as a text message, the protestors are now picking up the pieces as they try to recover their possessions, including two AED Defibrillators units.
Bloomberg and the other disgraced mayors flail about looking for a means to control the uncontrollable.
Journalists and others lit up Twitter with claims of media blackouts and physical aggression by the NYPD as the police continued to empty Zuccotti Park of all protestors and media, alike.
However, on this day, the Beantown folk have bested the Big Apple thanks to the decision of Suffolk Superior Court Judge Frances McIntyre, denying the city the right to remove occupiers from Dewey Square in a Zuccotti Park fashion. The stay is only temporary, but will be in place until a court...
During an appearance at Johns Hopkins University, Occupy Baltimore protesters interrupted a speech by Karl Rove. Protesters yelled 'Mic check!' from among the audience and said , 'Karl Rove is the architect of Occupy Iraq, the architect of Occupy Afghanistan!' That's when Rove flipped out and began yelling at the protesters.
So you know how the right-wing has been trying to control if not totally abolish free speech when it runs counter to their corporate agenda? Well, if today's eviction of the protestors in Zuccoti Park serves as any indication of the plutocrats shaking in their $2000 eagle-feathered boots, then ejecting a woman for wearing...
Many of the larger Occupy movements have been raided over the last several days, including Portland, Oakland, and the original Occupy Wall Street movement early this morning. I, like many other people, found the timing of the raids to be strangely coincidental.
It was a regular night at Zuccotti Park until New York Mayor, Mike Bloomberg, decided to use his power to create a “temporary” police state and force the movement to a breaking point. It bent, but it did not break. According to The Washington Post, demonstrators “should temporarily leave and remove tents and tarps,”...
Bloomberg says the protesters can return but that they must do so without tents. This is a brand new rule dreamed up by the owners of the park and Bloomberg that would significantly weaken the Occupy Wall Street movement. But the courts are intervening to protect the right to protest.
It’s true that this movement is, in part, about handouts, but it’s not the Occupy Wall Street protesters who are seeking handouts.
The latest target of the recent string of mic checks was none other than Scott Serota, the President and CEO of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA), during a Chamber of Commerce event.
Our just being here, confounds and enrages the 1% – and so they are frantic to make us go away. You know the mantra. They ignore us. When that doesn't work they ridicule us. When that doesn't work they find or invent laws to arrest us. When the jails are full and the police...
Police began breaking up the Occupy Oakland protesters, again, who have been camped out at Frank Ogawa park. The raid began around 4AM this morning.
I sense a pattern forming here. Just two days after Michele Bachmann had an event interrupted by the 99% at a campaign event on the USS Yorktown, Eric Cantor got the 'Occupy' treatment at an event on the Rice University campus in Texas.
With economic turmoil widespread across the country and the globe, urban communities and cities find themselves dealing with disturbing unemployment numbers. This has everyone brainstorming solutions to deal with high unemployment rates in cities such as Baltimore.
Frank Miller is a comic book writer. Notable for such works like '300,' 'Batman: The Dark Knight Returns,' and 'Sin City,' you would think Miller would be thrilled about protests against powerful entities. But he has no love for the Occupy Wall Street protesters. In fact, he hates them.
'Truly, for I say unto thee, blessed be the rich, for their children shall inherit most of the world and take the rest for themselves' - Republican Bible. Giuliani 9:11
There are reports that the police are pushing back now. Earlier in the evening the official police spokesman referred to their job of "controlling" free speech. Inartful? Or a moment of unexpected truthtelling?
Twitter troll and make-believe journalist, Andrew Breitbart--being the right-wing tool that he is--posted a video on his website that claims to be that of a man murdered at Occupy Vermont, even though every other news source including his own has it reported as an apparent suicide.
The news-worthiness of this commercial has taken on a new level of attractiveness, in my mind. Last evening the commercial ran on Fox News, during Bill O'Reilly's, The O'Reilly Factor, as well as other cable television channels.
One protester spoke to the San Francisco Chronicle, 'This was not an internal incident. What happened was the result of neighborhood violence. Don’t forget, we’re in downtown Oakland.' One report states that the shooting occurred over a marijuana dispute.
In what may perhaps be seen as a telling milestone in voters’ acknowledgement of base-less, Right wing hysteria, social conservative initiatives presented at the ballots this past Election Day just got axed.
Another shameful video has now gone viral on You Tube showing yet another unjustified shooting of a peaceful Occupy protester by Oakland policeman.
A clearly shaken Michele Bachmann was escorted from the stage by security during a campaign speech today on the USS Yorktown. A group of 20 Occupy Wall Street protesters shouted down Bachmann as she was attempting to address the crowd.
In something that might have been reminiscent of the 60s, Berkeley police in riot gear beat several protesters with their night sticks.
Just when you thought we had seen the last of the Alaskan quitter, she comes back looking for more attention. It's unfortunate that we have to give her that attention, but when Sarah Palin whines about something, it's worth noting.
Andrew, 'never met a fact he couldn't manipulate', Breitbart has been on a crusade to destroy the Occupy movement. It hasn't worked. His latest attack came today, via Twitter.
Earlier in the week, Addicting Info reported that two Occupy Oakland protesters were hit by a car, only to have the driver let go by police. A Crooks and Liars reporter witnessed an almost identical scene at Occupy DC related protest of an Americans for Prosperity conference just last night.
Occupy the Kochs, or Guerilla Drive-In, was put together by the The Other 98%, a nearly two-year old organization that has a lot in common with the Occupy Wall Street movement. According to co-founder John Sellers, he was looking to take a break from all the tumultuous every day protests and offer something...
The Guardian reports that a second Iraq War veteran is in intensive care in an Oakland hospital, thanks to injuries sustained from police during Occupy Oakland protests
In yet another example of police protecting property and the law of the 1% above the Constitution, people, and common sense, Occupy Tucson has been evicted from Armory Park and relocated to nearby Viente de Agosto Park, around 12:30 AM on Nov 4th.
In what appears to be the first of many general strikes to come, Occupy Oakland protestors delivered a devastating blow to the cancerous colon of wild, wild west casino capitalism when thousands of Occupy demonstrators swarmed the big banks.
The 99% Occupy movements are spreading throughout this great land and now a movement is gaining support from an unlikely source: the 1%.
Ya' gotta hand it to Rick Perry. He doesn't even try to sugar coat his plutocratic views. In an interview Tuesday, he commented on the Occupy Wall Street movement by saying that they shouldn't worry about it, that money is overrated.
When your actions of brutality are prohibited in war zones, you've gone over the edge. The Marines clearly know this. The police should certainly know better.
The larger problem however, is the stupidity of the higher ups that put these professional bullies in situations where they are set up to fail.
It's funny that Fischer would talk about stealing and coveting considering that the big bankers and numerous corporations are guilty of both and more. Wall Street has stolen hundreds of billions if not trillions from the American people over the last thirty years. And they want to steal more.
At Saturday night's Occupy Denver protest, police fired pepper spray and pepper balls. 20 protesters were arrested and several were sent to the hospital. One man was shot in the face with pepper bullets. Another had his foot run over by a motorcycle cop.
The beautiful thing about OWS is the amount of forgiveness they extended to the officers. They never turned violent toward them. The people themselves are from all walks of life, black, white, men, women, old, young, rich and poor. All converged to exercise our right to freedom of assembly. All rights must...
The former president of Facebook and founder of Napster wishes all the thousands facing arrests and facial reconstruction of #Occupy Wall Street would take some time to understand all the many hardships that billionaires like him face on a daily basis.
We knew it then, but we also know that when Moore states that he had never owned shares, he's blatantly lying, and maybe that merits a private visit to a confessional with a priest of his choice; or maybe it takes another interview with another British journalist to raise this fact for Moore...
