Wall Street Protests

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

This a’int America is it?

It sure is. Watch this video of people exercising their Constitutional right to dissent. Pay close attention to the women behind the orange police barricade. They are armed with nothing but their presence and their words. Yet they are the ones sprayed with mace/pepper spray by the police. For what?

Here’s a quote from the YouTube Channel that posts this video:

While on a peaceful march near Union Square in downtown Manhattan, multiple female protestors were penned up in the street by orange mesh baricade, then maliciously maced.

The women were peaceful and unarmed. They were secured by barricade with an overwhelming police presence. And they were then sprayed directly in the face with pressurized mace…

WeAreTheOther99 continues to peacefully occupy Lower Manhattan to begin a dialogue with the Top 1% with the goal of a peaceful transition of power back to the People.

This can no longer be stopped. But be advised, this will not be televised…

I don’t know about you, but I didn’t see this on the news.

This is only the beginning folks… Combine a failing economic system, with a very small cadre of beneficiaries, with a pervasive entitlement mentality, in an election year… and you get a mess.

The Madness of a Lost Society

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

Most people know something is wrong. They… no, we… feel it in our gut.

Unfortunately, though, most of us are distracted, so we tend not to see it. And when we do see it, if we don’t understand it, we tend to move to something that is easy to understand… something emotionally easier to handle. It’s easier to blame them. It’s easier to have a scapegoat or to look to someone who is far worse off than ourselves. Rather than trying to understand what is happening.

Watch this video about what is happening to the fabric of American society.

The Arab Spring, the riots in London and Greece, the bailouts of governments by the European Central Bank, the wars in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and the countless other places we have invaded have nothing to do with al-Qaeda or Muslim extremists or loose immigration laws or any other convenient “other”. These things have to do with our financial system and the control of resources. Until you wake up to that fact, you will continue to feel that dull ache in your belly. When you get a moment of stillness, you will quietly wonder what is happening, until something comes along and distracts you yet again.

Media Distraction – Hurricane Irene Hype

Sunday, August 28th, 2011

Whenever something becomes the news story of the week, be it Casey Anthony, the NFL labor talks, or any other non-issue, I tend to ask the following questions, “What is not being reported?” “What is being left out?” “What should I be concerned with?”

Well, here’s a video where someone compares the coverage of “Hurricane” Irene and Hurricane Earl from less than a year prior. If you can ignore the fact that he doesn’t care about what’s behind him in his videos, what he says is interesting. He’s calling it “Hurricane Not-Qaddafi”, implying that the media distraction is intended to pull attention away from NATO’s illegal efforts in Libya and the extensive misrepresentation of what exactly is taking place there.

However, there are other things to divert our attention away from:

  • That somehow it’s okay that a sovereign nation’s assets were frozen and later given to the people overthrowing that government (Can you imagine for a second if China did that to the rioters in Greece or London? How do you think that would be represented on our news outlets?)
  • That Ron Paul should be winning the Republican nomination
  • That the dollar is collapsing
  • That Israel is meddling in Iran, Syria, and slaughtering people in Gaza
  • Etc, etc

But I digress… on to the “hurricane” “coverage”.

Media Manipulation of the Elections – Ron Paul Systematically Ignored

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

Like him or not… agree with him or not… Ron Paul is being systematically left out of the GOP primary race. He is the one person in the race who has been consistent throughout his career. Others flip flop. Others completely alter their message for the crowd they’re addressing.

The issues Ron Paul has been bringing up are absolutely essential to a sound economy (the Federal Reserve, debt reduction, war expenditures, etc), to our government (preserving the Constitution, preserving the checks and balances within branches of government, etc), and to freedom, itself (not overstating threats as justification for removing freedoms, etc). Again, you may not agree with him, but at least hear his point of view… at least discuss the issues he is bringing up.

Why isn’t anyone else really discussing the Federal Reserve? Frankly, if he gets elected, I bet his life is in serious danger because of his stance against the Fed and the bankers. But that’s a discussion for a different day. Here’s a clip from Jon Stewart on the Daily Show where he highlights the systematic attempts to silence Ron Paul through the media and through his very own political party:

NFL Football Is Back (To Distract) – Financial Collapse and 9/11 Anniversary

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

That whole barely-mentioned-in-the-mainstream-media-adding-20,000-troops thing… Don’t worry folks. That’s just Plan B or C.

Plan A is distraction. “Give them food and give them sport.”

Casey Anthony is over (at least for now). And it’s time for football.

Now, I’m as big a fan of football as anyone (and I happen to think this is the year for the Eagles… E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles!), but that doesn’t blind me from what is taking place. Football is a tool, or at least, it is being used as such. I pointed it out in the article Football and the New World Order back in 2002.

But let’s watch together…

NFL Week 1 and September 11th Anniversary

How will the free agent frenzy over the next couple of weeks distract us (& dominate news coverage) as our nation reaches the debt ceiling deadline?

How will football be used to take people’s minds off of the economy and it’s root causes? Perhaps even help in deflecting blame?

How many shots of NFL players will we see with US troops abroad, but without mentioning the deployment of tens of thousands of troops within our own borders?

How will the football season starting on September 11th impact the emotions of the crowds? How will the image of Osama bin Laden be used? How will Muslims, Sikhs, Latinos, and others be treated after this emotional 10-year anniversary?

Our monetary system is collapsing. Our country is becoming a police state. And millions are being distracted away from real issues that should be front-and-center… This isn’t a democracy if the people are ignorant or do not participate. Crying at the national anthem isn’t participation. The strong emotions you will feel on the 10th anniversary of September 11th are real… but our senses of pain and pleasure have been driven to a place that allows us to hate, allows us to lose sight of important matters, and makes us seek ways to avoid the pain (financial crisis, terrorism, Islam and Muslims, decreased freedoms) and increase the pleasure (sports, military “victory”, increased security).

Martial Law in US? – Obama Adding 20,000 Troops Stateside

Monday, July 25th, 2011

Whether it is financial collapse, a false flag terror event, or some other socioeconomic nightmare, it appears as though our government is preparing for something of epic proportions. Maybe it will be rounding up well-intentioned, good-hearted Muslims like me and putting us in internment camps. Or perhaps crime is expected to skyrocket in the face of hyperinflation, higher taxes, and cut services.

Who knows? But anyone who thinks this is a good thing… well, you drank the Kool-Aid.

Manhunt For Known Terrorist Ignored By Mainstream Media

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

Someone has stockpiled weapons and survivalist gear in the woods of Montana, has stated that he is at war with the American government, that he intends to harm our US National Guardsmen, and is fleeing authorities… on the run for 10 days (at the time of this video). If you haven’t heard about this, it’s not because you were under a rock. Check this out:

Here’s the thing about the mainstream news media… they, like the advertisers and government they work for, are well aware of what drives people. It’s two things. We move toward pleasure or we move away from pain. The media blitzkrieg against Muslims and Latin immigrants has more to do with moving the public’s emotions than it does to give information, spur thought, or seek solutions.

The more negative press these groups get the more willing we will be to accept limitations of our freedoms as a means to move away from the pain of these “evils”. It also helps us all justify military action against Muslims in Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Iraq, Palestine, and probably soon to be Iran and Syria.

These emotions are going to come to a head this September as every major news media outlet helps the world relive (rather than learn from) the events of September 11th 2001. This is by design. As the economy tanks, the dollar collapses, and food prices rise, our emotions will be stirred and the “other” will be the problem, not what’s happening right here at home.

Think about this white terrorist in the video above, by the way. What’s his gripe? Why is he so angry at our government? My suspicion is that it has to do with money and freedom. That’s why this story can’t get the coverage it should… because unlike terrorist acts committed by Muslims, in this case, we might ask an important question, “Why?”

And well, no one will like the answer.

Rage Against The Fed? – Tens of Thousands March in L.A.

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

You will see protest after protest in many major cities. More is yet to come and all of them will not be as peaceful, unfortunately.

The global economy is on the edge of a cliff – deflation in some markets, high inflation in others – as our government nears default on its debt and the Federal Reserve continues to spew currency, things are going to get much worse.

The tragedy is that most people do not understand why or what is at the heart of the problem. You will see many protests and at first, they will appear disjointed. At first, it will seem like the events are dealing with totally different issues. Those people protesting outside of a Muslim fundraising event for battered women’s shelters, the Wisconsin workers upset over the attack on unions and pensions, the people rising up and taking over their governments in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, etc, the protests in Greece, etc.

All seem to have a slightly different angle, but the root is the corrupt monetary system.

These protests are going after single issues, not the broader based foundation. In some cases they’re protesting against scapegoats (Latin immigrants, Muslims, etc) and in others they’re protesting some of their benefits that have been revoked. And in countries abroad, the main issue has been food prices as the initial spark.

These things aren’t separate, though. Every protest you see, ask yourself, “How is this related to the last few I heard about? What’s the link?”
