1. Amazing, poignant, beautiful.

   THANK YOU. Let’s take OUR democracy back!

2. From Wall Street Firms Spy on Protesters in Tax-Funded Center:

   Wall Street’s audacity to corrupt knows no bounds and the cooptation of government by the 1 per cent knows no limits. How else to explain $150 million of taxpayer money going to equip a government facility in lower Manhattan where Wall Street firms, serially charged with corruption, get to sit alongside the New York Police Department and spy on law abiding citizens.

3. Amazing and so beautiful! I ma really impressed!

4. This post of Ernie’s, together with the comments, shows that the 1% are as passionate about their position as the 99% are about theirs.

   The question is: will these protests and demonstrations change the fundamental flaw?

   The fundamental flaw is the 1% – 99% …

   I hope I am wrong but I disagree with Karl Marx, who specifically indicated that Americans would throw down the 1%-99% plutonomy.

5. Ernest, Brad, and All at BradBlog;

   Thank you.

   Also, I’d like to share some other news that is atrocious. Yes, citizens in Ohio are having to pay to walk on the city sidewalks of Columbus.

6. I wonder why they didn’t show Ray McGovern being arrested during Hillary Clinton’s speech, for peacefully expressing himself:

   I would have preferred to see captions to know where some of those scenes were taking place.

7. There is an obvious double standard on display. It’s an outrage to crackdown on protesters abroad, but somehow there is always a souped up rationalization for hypocritically doing the same at home.

8. The crackdown on the protesters in the United States is an outrage. That said, I think, for the sake of credibility, it would be fair to point out that crackdowns in Libya, Egypt, Myanmar, and other countries were far more violent and bloody. It is important to illustrate American hypocrisy, but let’s be real.

   Straying Somewhat Off Topic:
   American military operations abroad, on the other hand, have killed thousands upon thousands more innocent civilians than World Trade Center attacks (and more than those killed in Tiananmen, 1989), and more American soldiers died in the unjustified war in Iraq than World Trade Center casualties.

   and all,
   does anyone here think that ows will go away anytime soon?
   or that cops will become less violent?
   what was the ratio of inequity in south african apartheid?
   and for how long?
   and how much better is it now after mandela’s finance ministers bankster looted that country after apartheid officially ended?
   the 1% want this protest.
   it provides the excuse – or rather cover – for violence of the 1% on the 99%.

   does anyone here think that patriot act fascism will not be sited and increased as more and more folk back ows?

   so what will the 1% who absolutely run the world do in response long and short term to the ows by the 99%?

   anyone here think the 1% will not come up with bigger more and worse wag the dog scenarios to occupy the 99% attention?

   btw thank you ernest
   great video
