Memo To The Media: It’s Not 'Anti-Capitalist' To Protest An Industry That Was Saved By Trillions Of Taxpayer Dollars

While the police treat protestors like " terrorists", the elite media treats them like they have as much clout or chance to succeed as kids opening a lemonade stand. Working both sides as always to squeeze the middle...of Americans. Just today, in South Florida more middle class (or what's left of them) people are rallying for OWS about such 'frivolous" topics as Foreclosure Fraud as well many other very sobering and real concerns, for which everyone with an ear should hear. The mantra is STOP CORRUPTION AND FRAUD ACROSS THE BOARD (especially the corporate boards)... "From Sea to Shining Sea." http://youtu.be/13SpXVhA4gc

As lawmakers in Washington look for answers to ongoing economic woes, U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin said he and his colleagues would be “foolish to ignore the voices” of people throughout the nation who have begun to protest and demonstrate against the current inequitable system that is “rigged against their interests.”

It's strange no one in MSM has even thought to extrapolate this data, suggestive, as it is, of the biggest American political wildfire since, oh I don't know, 1775? Poor, blinkered MSM horses can't see past the last election cycle. Do any of them bother to read history, ever?

Wildfire is the right metaphor...this thing is exploding. It's about fucking time.

"Louis was a king, and our republic is established; the critical question concerning you must be decided by these words alone. Louis was dethroned by his crimes; Louis denounced the French people as rebels; he appealed to chains, to the armies of tyrants who are his brothers; the victory of the people established that Louis alone was a rebel; Louis cannot therefore be judged; he already is judged. He is condemned, or the republic cannot be absolved. To propose to have a trial of Louis XVI, in whatever manner one may, is to retrogress to royal despotism and constitutionality; it is a counter-revolutionary idea because it places the revolution itself in litigation. In effect, if Louis may still be given a trial, he may be absolved, and innocent. What am I to say? He is presumed to be so until he is judged. But if Louis is absolved, if he may be presumed innocent, what becomes of the revolution? If Louis is innocent, all the defenders of liberty become slanderers. Our enemies have been friends of the people and of truth and defenders of innocence oppressed; all the declarations of foreign courts are nothing more than the legitimate claims against an illegal faction. Even the detention that Louis has endured is, then, an unjust vexation; the fédérés, the people of Paris, all the patriots of the French Empire are guilty; and this great trial in the court of nature judging between crime and virtue, liberty and tyranny, is at last decided in favor of crime and tyranny. Citizens, take warning; you are being fooled by false notions; you confuse positive, civil rights with the principles of the rights of mankind; you confuse the relationships of citizens amongst themselves with the connections between nations and an enemy that conspires against it; you confuse the situation of a people in revolution with that of a people whose government is affirmed; you confuse a nation which punishes a public functionary to conserve its form of government, and one which destroys the government itself. We are falling back upon ideas familiar to us, in an extraordinary case that depends upon principles we've never yet applied.” — Maximilien Robespierre, 1792[

Excellent post, AMS. However, I must point out that France is a civil law country, whereas the U.S. is a common law country. What's happening with #OCS, IMO, is the natural reaction to the establishment of a new monarchy (the elites), by what is functionally a new parliament enabled by social media. It's chaotic, yes--for now. This will change, you may rest assured, as people who see what's going on learn how to organize.

Our leaders in government are a joke, and everyone with a brain knows it. Obama, Bush, etc. and on down the line are no more than the new king's men--and they are utterly fucking out of line.

What's happening here is nothing short of the impeachment of the new king's men. The impeachment process dates back to the late 1300's in England. Indeed you'll find that the U.S. basically adopted parliamentary procedures there wholesale, as reflected in the U.S. constitution and before that in a few Federalist Papers.

Ben Franklin was in favor of the impeachment process over its natural alternative, assassination.

Minions of the elite like Obama and in particular Eric Holder would do well to take what is going on right now very very seriously. It is absolutely not going away.

Great videos, Cheyenne. You guys are awesome.

I also love this one with Amy Goodman. Zombie man (featured in Erin Burnett's report) listens intently (in character). Great stuff.

It is estimated that the Bank bailouts have already cost somewhere between $3-23 Trillion. There are somewhere around 200 million adults living in the US. If the government had cut a check for 1/2 million dollars and sent one to each adult in the US, it would only cost a total of one trillion dollars. Over night the economy would be humming again. People would pay off mortgages, start businesses, buy cars and commerce would be hotter than ever. We wouldn't even need the bankers! Quite simple! This shows that the government works only for the 1% Banksters and works against the 99%.
