Well this morning the police raided the Occupy sites around the country. The mere fact that they coordinated the attacks across the country demonstrates that this is a political act and not a local police action. I thought Americans had the right to freedom of assembly. What happened to that right? There have been many other demonstrations in support of various things supported by the government that were allowed to go on for very long periods of time. The government opposes this group so they shut them down with violent force. Why is the government not in support of a group that just wants a small group of major criminals prosecuted for gigantic sized crimes? Oh yea that's right, those criminals are paying the politicians big money for the "right" to loot the citizens of the world.
I know that the "silent majority" in this country does not believe that there is any sort of corruption in their beloved country's government. These people have some serious blinders on. Their patriotic fever does not allow them to see the obvious right in front of their eyes. The right wing spends vast amounts to make sure this is the status quo. The usual key words like anti-american, communist, left wing, anarchist, socialist, atheist, spoiled, thankless, and all the other words thrown around on Fox News and the rest of the right's mass media are always used to incite the silent majority into hating anyone that dares to oppose them. The key words usually do not apply to the targets but they are always used anyway because they are so effective at turning the silent majority against whomever it is they are trying to smear.
The "Occupy Wall Street" movement is a typical victim of this right wing attack. All the usual talk shows etc are calling the group commies and anti-american atheists as usual despite the fact that this group is about as typical a group of average Americans as you could ever assemble. Just go to their website for the other 99% and read the biographies of the groups supporters. They are all typical "people next door" Americans most of whom love their country just as much as the silent majority claims to love it. They do not deserve the slurs aimed at them by the right's mass media. Most of the people I know involved are school teachers, nurses, white collar small business workers and so forth.
The message that Occupy wants out there is intentionally ignored by the media. The Occupy movement simply wants those criminals brought to justice who are responsible for raping the economy so heavily that the entire world's economy is on the verge of collapse. Of course none of these criminals will ever be prosecuted because they are just too powerful and rich to be touched by paltry governments around the world. These criminals control the media so of course they won't put out the message or if they do they will make a story that at first appears to be a fair report of the movement but then they will throw in their key word slurs and the story will work against the Occupy movement. Business as usual for the megacorporations of the world and their criminal owners.
Occupy will be crushed.

I reluctantly joined Facebook after getting booted from My Space. My Space decided that I must be a pedophile because I was only communicating with much younger people. They sent me a letter and told me this and that if I was not a pedophile then I would need to take a picture of myself holding the front page of a major newspaper in the pic and explain why I was messaging young boys and girls. Well I was communicating with my children and their friends in a totally harmless way but that was not important to me. I never re-established my account because the Big Brother concept was too much for me to want to rejoin My Space. Instead I switched to the then new Facebook.
At first Facebook was very good in my opinion. I could friend people and keep up on their life with little interaction needed. It was good for keeping up with my children and their friends but also other relatives and friends that I did not see often in person. They could keep up with me too by reading my posts. Everything went well for a few months. I felt that this method of communication was fair and equal to all with no cliques or gossip on it because everyone could see all the posts. Finally I felt, here was a place where people were all equal. Then Facebook started to mess with the feeds by deciding which posts I got to see. They formulated their own rules for which people I could follow. Suddenly the nephew's posts disappeared or my friend in Florida that I didn't post to for a while was gone. There was no notice given, people just disappeared on me by Facebook's design.
Then it changed more. Facebook allowed people to start forming private groups and cliques. That is fine and dandy if you liked high school. Myself I refuse to join a group or a clique. I hated them in high school and I still hate them. Suddenly gossip soared on Facebook because you could block the target from seeing the gossip or rumor or whatever while you spread it to everyone else. Facebook is just like real life now. I see people being much more careless of what they post because they think it is private. Nothing ever posted on the net is private. I see lots of turmoil ahead. I think that is just what Facebook intended to create. I hate it myself.
One other thing I hate is the app "do you still want to be my friend yes or no" or whatever it is called. To me friendship is not that cold. If you are my friend then you are me friend for life unless something drastic changes between us. I stand by my friends through thick and thin. This app is rude and insincere at the least. I could go on for hours about what is wrong with it but I am too lazy to rant right now. Instead, my account with Facebook will be closed soon because I just don't want to be a part of all that negativity. Personally I am glad to be out of highschool and have no intention of going back to that garbage. Such is life even on the net.

Wall Street
So Occupy Wall Street protests have been going on for about a week now. At first there was a major news blackout on the topic. If we don't report it, it may just go away they seemed to think. The mass media in this country is controlled by just a few individuals now that almost all the outlets have been bought up over the years. These people control the flow of information to the public. To get news about this event I had to go to foreign news outlets and to the internet. A couple of days ago when it was clear that the event was expanding the mainstream press decided to cover the event but their coverage is anything but unbiased news reporting of events that are happening. Instead the coverage has been an organized spin aimed at discrediting the protesters by making them look unamerican to the general public by tagging labels on the protesters like left wing, communist, anarchist, nazi, anti-capitalists, anti-american, socialist and so forth. I find this behavior by the news outlets to be despicable. To see just who the protesters are just go to the website: http://wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/
The press wants to defend as American the one percent of people who criminally raped this country and the rest of the world for their own greed and caused the current world financial crisis. They need the flag wavers to keep them in power so they praise them endlessly with mindless patriotic drivel. If these are the true Americans and not the protesters then I totally understand why the world is hating Americans more and more by the day.
The hypocrisy of the American press is so blatant to the rest of the world but the patriotic American is blind to this. These patriots constantly rally behind these time tested formulas that work so well to eliminate the competition of these true criminals so that those in control of the money can continue to reap the huge gouging profits that are making the world financial markets collapse. Then they want the little guys to pay back the money that was stolen by these big boys. The flag wavers will also have to pay this money back but they don't seem to get the connection because they are wallowing in the adoration of being patriotic to the greatest country ever. Blind is still blind.
This is what brought down the government in Greenland and is crushing governments around the world. I think the message is clear from the occupy wall street protests but the press wants to keep it muddled as they are collectively calling it. They don't want the general public too knowledgeable about what is really going on. They prefer that the general public just wave their flags and let them continue to plunder this country and the rest of the world. That is why they use the same tired old name calling tactics about anti-freedom and anti-american all the time. You have to be either a flag waving blind patriot or you are against them and that makes any non patriot the enemy as well. Jon Stewart on the Daily Show summed a lot of this up nicely on his recent show titled Parks and Demonstration. It can be found on the show website. http://www.thedailyshow.com/
It is possible to be against the big wall street criminals and still be a capitalist that believes in freedom and the good still possible in this country. The press just doesn't want anybody to think like that. The people in Greenland took their country back and I see the same thing happening in other countries and who knows maybe even in America.

Dreaming while asleep
I am too tired to write anything this week so I am just going to pass on a well spoken rant.
George Carlin: Forget the politicians…

Forget the politicians…
George Carlin
The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice … you don’t.
You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own, and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.
They got you by the balls.
They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying … lobbying, to get what they want … Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want … they don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.
They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that … that doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. That’s right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fuckin’ years ago. They don’t want that.
You know what they want? They want obedient workers … Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your fuckin’ retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it … they’ll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this fuckin’ place. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in The big club.
By the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care.
Good honest hard-working people … white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means … continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about you … they don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you at all … at all … at all, and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth. It’s called the American Dream cause you have to be asleep to believe it …
