Occupy ROTH Army

[conmee]

Brethren and Sistren,

The problem with all these dumbasses protesting (besides blocking my way to work or to my penthouse) is WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY ON ELECTION DAY!?!!? They'll spend days without showering to chant and sing and carry signs but less than half will actually do the one thing that COULD make a fucking difference, vote all the pieces of shit in office the fuck out.

Want change? Start exercising your right to vote and stop voting for the same D-bags every time. And realize the Reps and Dems are BOTH bought and paid for by special interests and could give a shit about any middle class.

Corporate/special interest contributions and voter apathy and self-serving politicians of all stripes have fucked us.

That is all.

One saying I always heard as a kid was freedom isn't free. When the blame starts I always blame the citizens first. Why? The citizens are the boss. Because we should be busy making livings for ourselves. Being entrepreneurs and making something of this thing called life, we need to hire people to run the country for us. Employees if you will. What's happened is we got lazy and distracted and let the employees take things over. Not only have they robbed us but they think they can tell us the boss what to do. I'm sorry but when you start letting an employee boss you around and act like the boss themselves and you don't can their asses and/or throw them in jail for theft, you are a sorry son of a bitch.

People seem to think being patriotic is going off to war but being patriotic is keeping your eye on the store. Being in the game. Knowing your rights and giving someone the proper lashing for violating them. It's work. Also, freedom is earning your own way and not becoming dependent on handouts. Politicians love to keep people dependent on them. They love to handout other people's money to buy votes for themselves.

I was talking to someone who grew up in Alexandria, Egypt. The discussion was on how little we actually know about our ancient past. He said Alexandria was one of the important cities 2,400 years ago with a lighthouse that was one of the seven wonders of the world and the famous library. He said there is hardly a trace of it now. He said will people know places like New York City or Washington DC ever existed 2,400 years from now? The point he was making is the world changes and what we now think is so important can be wiped off the face of the earth with the exception of written records or verbal legends.

When this person said they had recently been in Egypt I asked how the revolution was going. He said he thought the Egyptian people had become so passive and apathetic that they had just accepted their fate. He said the protests and peaceful revolution shocked him. He said it will take years to see where it's all going to go but a lot looks promising.

I just can't believe the American people are so far gone they are just going to roll over and let the constitution die and let a corporate oligarchy take it's place. Nothing starts to turn before the anger. People have to know they have been screwed. In 2008 people just didn't quite get it then. Now they know they have been played.

700 arrested after protest on NY's Brooklyn Bridge

http://news.yahoo.com/700-arrested-protest-nys-brooklyn-bridge-030009188.html

Ticketed and release (tagged and released) is how it should read. Remember to take ID when going on protests.

This is not the time for Anonymous.
Most officers just want to finish their shift with the least amount of paperwork. Overtime is great as we all know, but that does get old quick, for some. Help the police help you. Yes, there are corrupt among the police, just like there are corrupt among the protesters. But law enforcement, for the most part, are just working jacks too. Sorry to hear that the some BS'ers are trying to make ill among the protesters.And that Greed Day trick was just shabby. Cheers!

It appears that most of the protesters are doing so peacefully and legally, while most of the arrests are for "disorderly conduct by individuals who blocked vehicular and pedestrian traffic, but also for resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and, in one instance, for assault on a police officer”

Make no mistake about it. Some of those police would love to beat some of those bankers like baby seals. They got screwed too but it's all about the paycheck. They have to follow orders or lose the paycheck. They probably go home and pour a big glass of whiskey and down it glad another day of bullshit is over.

These guys seem to be getting more organized... http://nycga.cc/calendar/

Yeah but back then we were at war with Germany and Japan.

Just saw this posted over at DU. Apparently the Marines are coming in.... and they're on the side of the people, not the fascists........

2037141, The Marines are coming to Wall St
Posted by Frosty1 on Sat Oct-01-11 03:17 PM


This was taken from a message I just received on facebook:


"The Marines are coming to Wall St...(to PROTECT the protestors) "I'm heading up there tonight in my dress blues. So far, 15 of my fellow marine buddies are meeting me there, also in Uniform. I want to send the following message to Wall St and Congress: I didn't fight for Wall St. I fought for America. Now it's Congress' turn. My true hope, though, is that we Veterans can act as first line of defense between the police and the protester. If they want to get to some protesters so they can mace them, they will have to get through the Fucking Marine Corps first. Let's see a cop mace a bunch of decorated war vets. I apologize now for typos and errors. Typing this on iPhone whilst heading to NYC. We can organize once we're there. That's what we do best. If you see someone in uniform, gather together. A formation will be held tonight at 10PM. We all took an oath to uphold, protect and defend the constitution of this country. That's what we will be doing. Hope to see you there!!"

Another Marine responds and says he can't be there, because he's going to the October 6 event in Washington DC, so hopefully there will also be a presence there of military personnel on the side of the people. Not officially on duty in either case, of course. But also not likely to let the Tony Baloney types assault women because of their own childhood traumas.

I’m new to this and I would like to know how exactly I can get more involved. I am unable to attend meetings, as I don’t live in New York, and don’t have much money to make very many donations.

FORD, that marine thing has been posted several times across the internet but no one has shown up ... I think it's just an elaborate troll to get legitimate marines / armed forces personnel to show up, which could get them in a lot of trouble.

[FORD]

Bummer.... I'd like to see the cowards like Baloney piss their pants when they showed up. I'll bet they already did that last week when the airline pilots showed up.....

[FORD]

And even when the local whore media (NY Times, in this case) makes even a half-assed attempt to cover this story somewhat fairly, "somebody" makes them change the story really quickly.......

They'd be foolish to show up in uniform, trust me, that's a major no-no.....
