When criminals are allowed to freely misbehave without consequences, the repercussions are bared by those most unsuspecting and furthest from the original crime.
I haven't been paying attention to the mainstream media but I have heard bits here and there when turning to the evening news for a few minutes and then setting the TV to source from the laptop. It's pure bogus lies and it's easy to see through, at least, this one, this time - Hugo Chavez. If this is the case, what about everything else they report on? It's got to be so dubious!
Anyways, here's a collection of videos from this week. I'll just post the links (collected from the Facebook group).
Democracy Now! - Another great show, this time exposing what went on in the 1960s thru the 1980s in South America with assistant from the CIA. The Cold War an excuse to take over countries and have fun with dissenters? It's a war between those who want to stand up for freedom and liberty and sanity and psychopaths who seek power, control, and money. All this for worthless money? Maybe not. Maybe it's duper's delight? They just want to put one over on people. They get excited over torture and death. Psychopaths call it Operation Condor.
Anyways, don't bother with the mainstream mass media. You're not going to get anything of value. Democracy Now! had a very good show on Hugo Chavez today. The new president is interesting. he's the one that's forged treaties, trade deals, and aid with surrounding countries in order to help everybody all around in symbiotic relationships.
For some reason, the video didn't appear on Youtube today so I will link to the MP4 file. I'll be keeping an eye on the theory that cancer was induced by the CIA. It's a statistical anomaly that good folks die young (cancer has been showing up a lot lately) while the evil persist late into their lives. Bill Hicks died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 32.
It occurred to me watching this video, that those personalities in control WANT ME to fake cry. Try as they may, those in control want to control the perception. Even if the majority of the people do not believe in the program, as long as they perform under coercion against their wishes, the rulers still have their rule.
So what do our elite want from us? The same thing the Kims want in North Korea. To acknowledge their rule and to conduct our lives according to what they desire. These psychopathic personalities want our soul.
There's always outstanding stuff coming out of Democracy Now! on a daily basis. I try to watch everyday. With their videos on their Youtube channel, I can watch most of their videos in 1.5x speed using html5 (click below to join).
Here's Jacob Appelbaum getting the Royal treatment from the US government because he is active in the Wikileaks organization. The proof is in the pudding that we do not live in a nation that is either free or just.
And in another example, Andrew (Andy) Stepanian, fought against an animal testing corporation only to find himself labelled a terrorist. He served a 3 year jail sentence, the last part, in a maximum security prison that also housed Muslim "extremists". He drove Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) stock to zero and bankrupting the UK company. The company then moved to the US.
Harriet Washington's book, Deadly Monopolies: The Shocking Corporate Takeover of Life Itself—And the Consequences for Your Health and Our Medical Future, takes a jaw dropping look at the medical industrial complex gone haywire. The biotechonology and pharmaceutical companies are getting away with literal murder.
These companies control critical patents, a lot which shouldn't even be given out as they are public domain or are a patent on genes which is life itself. In the past 30 years, 40,000+ patents have been granted on genes alone, with many more pending. As Harriet Washington mentions, it is profit than triumphs over the health and medical needs of the population.
I've been thinking about what Max Keiser is saying about getting rid of the copyright cartel. My light bulb finally turned on a few weeks ago. Indeed, what a different world it was be without patents and copyright. No longer would there be motivation for money. No more lust of money or greed. The greedy type of people would no longer be in top positions of business and finance. Any discovery would go into the public domain where would improve the world as a whole. The motivation of the discoverer would be to improve humanity not money. We would get a different sort of organizational structure full of workers who would work hard and command these structures with the motivation to add to humanity's well being. Since there is no money at the end of the rainbow, the people motivated by money will not bother to even join or be involved. What kind of jobs will the greedy types have at this point? Unbound by any copyright, trademark, or patent restrictions, labs can use best practices to improve upon what's already known. Discoveries would come quick as they build on top of each other. Best of all it would be real knowledge to add to the public database. After all, that which is free has no market and does not exist in a capitalistic system. Fascinating...
Ah ha! Someone said it! Shut down the stock exchange! I've been saying it all along (see my Oct 29th comment)! Check out the end of this video:
Btw, that was really dumb of the establishment to bring attention to the #Occupiers. They set abuzz the hornets nest which brought the limelight back upon the protesters. Coverage of the Occupy protests was dying down as there was no new news to report. And yes this was coordinated by someone high up (most likely the Chamber of Commerce) as all the Occupy camps got raided at about the same time, in the same manner, using the same lame excuses such as the camp was dirty, it was health hazard, and that it stood as as being unsafe in terms of crime and violence. What doesn't make sense to me is why they raided, ransacked, and confiscated all the material possessions at the camp knowing they would allow the protesters to return and resettle in the same place. Seems like an espionage mission to get information such as members, organizations, and contacts that are involved and perhaps to sniff out upcoming plans.
So back to the idea of blockading (don't they blockade in wars?) the stock market with 100,000s of people surrounding the buildings and underground corridors so that employees can't get to work and business as usual can't continue... This would be true crowd sourcing! How would this work? Let's get into the hypothetical scenario much deeper...
The blockade would, of course, have to happen on a weekday. People would have to take the day off and potentially be arrested. The NYSE opens at 9:30am. Workers probably show up long before that. The disruption would start when critical NYSE employees are delayed or cannot show up to work.
If we look at the metal barricades in Michael Moore's fantastic video, they can be turned around and used in the protesters' favor by being instrumental in a blockade and even block the authorities in! People can begin forming the blockade outside the police lines as they surround the neighboring blocks and not all any employees in.

And from today.. A fantastic interview on Democracy Now! by Arundhati Roy. She covers both #OWS and the genocide in India, and the realization that both are connected because they are the result of the same criminal cabal.
/br>
Somewhere there is a recording or video of Arundhati Roy's speech to Occupy Wall Street. I hope I run into it shortly as I am anxious to hear it!

And lastly, here is a video of the police disguising themselves as Occupy Oakland protesters. People's tax dollars hard at work!

The California marijuana bill lost. Russ Feingold, one of the few stalwarts against FISA and Alan Grayson, outspoken against banks and theFederal Reserve, lost in the elections of 2010 :(. My head hung low when I heard these two Congressmen lost.
Boy, the public shot themselves in the foot. It sucks to fight the bad guys and then be trapled over by the public. It sucks to be sandwiched between the top (democratic party top) and the bottom (uninterested, uneducated, unmotivated, apathetic, short aighted public). No wonder Florida Congressman Robert Wexler resigned early this year.
Here's Manfred Max-Neef, a Chilean economist, on understanding economics and how the majority of people fail in this aspect. Knowing something and understanding something are two different concepts.
I think what's also key is intent of a person. Have we passed that critical mass where people value material consumption over human relations and life? The knowledge is there. People can't be that dumb to not know what's going on. War is supported because it props up the dollar and keeps oil out of the hands of the Chinese. Why are the current politicians and business leaders still supported? It's not because of ignorance. And why is when people point out that Bush lied, the bailout was a scam, the corporations are the puppetmasters, that the people pointing it out are treated as heretics?
Democracy Now! interviews Canadian Farmer Percy Schmeiser and his decade long battle with Monsanto. The Canadian Supreme Court ruled that gene patents on life were legal, but that Percy Schmeiser was not financially liable for GMO contaminated crops on his land that were blown over to his property by his neighbor's planting and transport of the seeds.
Percy Schmeiser speaks of the harassment and torture he's had to endure by Monsanto. What a wonderful company!
The previously censored interview of James Hatfield (J. H. Hatfield), the author of Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the Making of an American President, was finally released by Democracy Now! on 08-11-2003. It is a book that is a biography of George W. Bush that looks into some of the skeletons hiding in the closet.
Imagine that! Democracy Now! censoring on of its guests!
The original interview was originally conducted in early 2000. The book had trouble being released due to a criminal conviction in James's past. His credibility was shot and this took a serious toll on his finances and career as an investigative journalist. I bet the Bush folks were giddy over this. James Hatfield allegedly committed suicide in July 2001. How come everyone that tries to fight or expose the Bush family always suffers and pays a hefty price?
Ok, maybe you gotta be on drugs on watch most Sean Penn movies, but he's a super individual. Bravo for Sean Penn!
Sean Penn has been running an NGO, via his physical presence in Haiti, for the past 6 months. It is wonderful of him for taking it upon himself to do something great! Find out what he has to say about the NGOs and the military running earthquake operations.
Vandana Shiva and Gwynne Dyer discuss various solutions to global warming. I don't quite understand how Gwynne can come up with a solution which involves blocking the sun. I guess some people can look at the whole picture and some people can't.
Democracy Now! looks back at the 1967 attack by Israel on the USS Liberty and covers the recent hijacking and takeover of the Mavi Marmara as it tried to break through the blockade around Gaza.
Trickle Down Psychopathy at its finest in India. Arundhati Roy spent time with the rebel tribal villagers to document them. What is apparent is the Indian corporotocracy and the puppet government have decided that to continue the 6%+ growth in the economy, the tribal people must go since they are standing in the way of what the corporations covet. I guess sharing the profits is out of the question.
The propaganda machine has branded those 'Naxalites' that defend their territory from hostile military and corporate takeover as Maoists.
Wiki: The term Naxalites comes from Naxalbari, a small village in West Bengal, where an extremist section of Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) led by Charu Majumdar and Kanu Sanyal led a violent uprising in 1967, trying to develop a "revolutionary opposition" in opposition to the CPI(M) leadership. The insurrection started on May 25, 1967 in Naxalbari village when a farmer was attacked over a land dispute. Maoists in the guise of farmers retaliated by attacking the local landlords and escalated the violence.[6] Majumdar greatly admired Mao Zedong, and advocated that Indian peasants and lower classes follow in his footsteps and overthrow the government and upper classes whom he held responsible for their plight.
Enough of the Communist spin! They are not fighting for an ideology. They're fighting for their land and way of life just as the American Indians did before they were massacred and robbed of their land.
These Naxalites live as subsistence farmers, living in harmony with nature and gathering resources from the local forests. Unfortunately, their regions are rich with natural resources that can be mined for incredible profits by corporates. They've been cleared out of their villages. They now live in the surrounding forests. They cannot claim title to their land once they're gone. The strategy by the government is to either kill them or starve them to death. That is how it is done in a democracy.
Btw, Kashmir is pronounced Kaush*Mir (as in the Soviet space station Mir). The region did have the name Cashmere previously.
Haiti is the first and only country in the world to have a black uprising in order to uproot colonialism and become independant. France and America quickly made sure Haiti wouldn't succeed via boycotts and blockades and reparations.
So why is Haiti so poor? Could it be all those coups to 'democratize' Haiti? Ousting the democratically elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide TWICE by coups orchestrasted by America and some other nations made sure the corporatocracy had their moneyed interests secured. In subsequent elections, political parties unfriendly to the corporatocracy would not be allowed to run in elections.
Ahhh! I'm a bit late with discovering this interview.
The latest dirty laundry gets aired. The reforms on derivatives are a scandal since they exempt all the troublesome derivatives. It was found out via the Pecora Commission, around the Great Depression, that certain elites were given stock at half of the market price, and one of them was the former president! The current "Pecora Commission" in place is a fake and the politicians are arrogant enough to coverup the coverup in public.
"Well, I mean, Summers, for example—you talked about Geithner’s aides and how much money they had made, and, of course, it’s absurdly large, and they’re making it typically for not doing much of anything. But they’re taking their cue from Summers, who got $5 million, roughly, for working one day a week in areas he had no expertise. So, you know, once you leave the federal service, then these interests that you were very helpful to find a way to make you spectacularly rich, and they know that that’s what’s coming in their future. That’s part of the problem.
But the bigger part of the problem, in many ways, is that they have such an ideology about the market and its ability to deal with all problems that has no basis in reality, has been exposed in this crisis as completely fictional, and yet they can’t give it up. I mean, think of yourself as one of these professors who’s been trained in the Milton Friedmanish views, and you’re in your fifties, and you’ve been saying—you know, everything you’ve said in your career is wrong. Everything you’ve learned in your career is wrong. All of your areas of expertise are wrong. Are you going to admit that? “Hi, I’ve been misleading you, and I’m sorry I caused this disaster. And by the way, I have no meaningful skills or experience". ... It’s not going to happen.” --- William K. Black
Ah ha! The multinationals like Hanes and Fruit of the Loom are supporting the coup in Honduras. The elites and upper class in Honduras are in favor of the new president. This is about the garment industry and keeping the profits high there.
Supporters of the coup in Honduras have begun hiring advisers and lobbyists with close ties to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an attempt to strengthen support in Washington for the coup. A Honduran business group has hired lobbyist Lanny Davis, who served as White House counsel for President Bill Clinton. The coup government has also hired Bennet Ratcliff, a public relations specialist with ties to former President Bill Clinton.
