Occupy ROTH Army

[Nickdfresh]

Cont'd

Burke Stansbury, a 35-year-old communications specialist for nonprofit groups, has been loosely involved with the protests in Washington, D.C. (known as Occupy K St), donating homemade food, tarps and money. He inherited a little more than $1 million and stands to inherit more. He doesn't believe he officially qualifies to be in the top 1 percent, but says he grew up with all the advantages of being wealthy.

Why did you get involved with the 'Occupy' protests?

"I think it’s a beautiful movement of people that really gets at the heart of what's wrong with our country right now in terms of the really obscene level of inequality that exists and the institutions that have sort of influenced that."

What would you like changed?

"A lot of us have honed in on the tax code piece as something that’s tangible, that can be changed and we have a kind of unique role in speaking out on, as people in the 1 percent. So certainly I feel really strongly that people with wealth, high income people, should be taxed at higher levels and not just in terms of income tax but in terms of the ... capital gains tax as well."

You said you worked with your parents to start a foundation and have given money to nonprofits and grassroots groups. Can't the wealthiest Americans make a difference that way?

"It's all well and good that we maybe have family foundations for giving away a lot of money ourselves to good causes, but that’s not enough, like that isn't going to change the big problems, the really extreme inequality that exists. … It has to come from the government, it has to be a sort-of involuntary ... redistribution of wealth because the few altruistic wealthy people giving (away) their money isn't going to do it."

Were other protesters aware of your status?

"I don’t go around telling everyone, 'I'm a millionaire.' But I'm also pretty and fairly open about it if it comes up. A lot of people have signs, you know, targeting the 1 percent, oftentimes really angry messages. ... I don’t think people would like jump up and attack me, but I think I would just want to be able to like really talk through it with them and explain what that means to me and have that conversation."

"... I think it’s a great opportunity to kind of bridge that class divide and it’s going to hopefully lead to great things in terms of building a bigger movement.”

What role do you think the 1 percenters can play here in this movement?

"We can bring this message that like there is still collective humanity in those that have more wealth, too. Many of us actually want to see the same kind of change that the people that are down on ... 'Occupy Wall Street' everyday, want to see."

Old guard back in the trenches at 'Occupy' protests

Elspeth Gilmore, a 33-year-old co-director at Resource Generation, said she made waves when she went down to Occupy Wall Street with her sign. Gilmore, who believes she is close to qualifying as a 1 percenter and was raised in a life of privilege, helped launch the Tumblr page last week.

What is the idea behind the 1 percenter site?

“The Tumblr site was our response as Resource Generation and Wealth for the Common Good, who have been collaborating around what it looks like to organize and mobilize young people in the 1 percent to stand with the 99 percent. ... The Tumblr blog was following the lead of the We Are the 99 Percent blog to actually tell our stories and show that there are both young people in our community — but then also a broader community of people in the 1 percent — who are standing in support and are working for a world of economic equity and a just distribution of wealth.”

Who are the 1 percent?

“What we’re talking about when we say the 1 percent is that we’re … part of the population that has more than we need, that has access to resources,” she said. “It’s more of a framing of what does it look like to be in a place where the majority of people in the country are not … getting enough to live well and are struggling and what does it mean for those of us who are actually supposedly benefiting from society but actually ... believe that we would all be better off in a world with a more equitable distribution of resources and of wealth.”

"One of the solutions that we support is taxing the rich and changing tax policy, and saying there is more than enough money for all of us. We stand with the demands of the 99 percent … this is the betterment for all of us.”

"A number of people came up to me and said, 'Hey, I love your sign, and — that’s me.’"

"... For me being open and public about being wealthy … is a huge part of me being able to be fully in this movement. ... if I can affect other people who have money to be able to be open and honest about that, they’re going to be so much more effective in making change you know for the next many years …”

Who is occupying Wall Street? Not just your average Joe

Leah Hunt-Hendrix, a 28-year-old Ph.D. student of political theory at Princeton, said she has attended the "Occupy Wall Street" general assemblies and helped to form one of their many working groups.She believes her family would be at the upper end of the 1 percent, though she has chosen to live in a modest apartment in Brooklyn and doesn't see their wealth as a main part of her identity.

How involved are you in Occupy Wall Street?

“I go pretty regularly. I’m still not sure what my best role (is) … I think I will probably want to write about the movement."

Why did you get involved?

“I've been concerned about the role of corporations in American politics for a long time and so I went down originally to see if the people at 'Occupy' were also talking about a constitutional amendment or (revocation of) corporate personhood as … a possible demand. But the more I went down, the more I realized that they’re really on target to not have any specific demand. I think this will lead to … policy changes. But I think that they are right to wait and let the movement grow … before choosing anything too specific.”

Do you consider yourself a 1 percenter?

“I personally don’t have a large income because I have chosen not to pursue anything that makes money. I think the point is … that there are people who are immensely privileged and there are people who are suffering terribly. I think that this movement should involve everyone … like 100 percent.”

What role do you think the 1 percenters can play?

“I think definitely show our solidarity … (and) we can help fund it. I think we can also help represent the fact that it’s not about good people versus bad people … there are people trying to work for change on both sides."

Were you ‘out’ as a wealthy person at 'Occupy Wall Street'?

“I am more of an activist in general and that’s more of my identity so that’s how I went down there.”

“... If I went down and said I have a lot of money, you know, I’d like to help, I don’t think anybody would care and they might be very suspicious. … I think (in) the movement, as far as I can tell, people are very concerned about where funding comes from and don’t want any money that would tie them to any donors.”

Under pressure to make arrests, police and troopers push back

Governor's office urged mayor to press police to make arrests at protest
By BRENDAN J. LYONS Senior writer

ALBANY -- In a tense battle of wills, state troopers and Albany police held off making arrests of dozens of protesters near the Capitol over the weekend even as Albany's mayor, under pressure from Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration, had urged his police chief to enforce a city curfew.

The situation intensified late Friday evening when Jennings, who has cultivated a strong relationship with Cuomo, directed his department to arrest protesters who refused to leave the city-owned portion of a large park that's across Washington Avenue from the Capitol and City Hall.

At the Capitol, in anticipation of possibly dozens of arrests, a State Police civil disturbance unit was quietly activated, according to officials briefed on the matter but not authorized to comment publicly. But as the curfew neared, the group of protesters estimated at several hundred moved across an invisible line in the park from state land onto city property.

"We were ready to make arrests if needed, but these people complied with our orders," a State Police official said. However, he added that State Police supported the defiant posture of Albany police leaders to hold off making arrests for the low-level offense of trespassing, in part because of concern it could incite a riot or draw thousands of protesters in a backlash that could endanger police and the public.

"We don't have those resources, and these people were not causing trouble," the official said. "The bottom line is the police know policing, not the governor and not the mayor."

A city police source said his department also was reluctant to damage what he considers to be good community relations that have taken years to rebuild. In addition, the crowd included elderly people and many others who brought their children with them.

"There was a lot of discussion about how it would look if we started pulling people away from their kids and arresting them ... and then what do we do with the children?" one officer said.

Around midnight Friday, police leaders reported that the protesters were confined to city sidewalks and therefore they were not in violation of the city's curfew governing park land. But in truth, the protesters had set up tents in the park and several dozen slept there.

Meanwhile, Albany County District Attorney David Soares on Sunday said that over the weekend he had conversations with Jennings, Albany Police Chief Steven Krokoff and State Police officials about his concerns regarding prosecution of "peaceful protesters."

Soares said protests at the state Capitol are common, and historically anyone arrested for trespassing generally faces a low-level charge that's later dismissed.

"Our official policy with peaceful protesters is that unless there is property damage or injuries to law enforcement, we don't prosecute people protesting," Soares said. "If law enforcement engaged in a pre-emptive strike and started arresting people I believe it would lead to calamitous results, and the people protesting so far are peaceful."

Soares said another concern discussed by law enforcement officials was whether arrests could trigger an influx of young adults from Albany's significant college community.

Joshua Vlasto, a spokesman for Cuomo, did not respond directly to questions about contact between Cuomo's secretary, Larry Schwartz, and Jennings. "The state is working collaboratively with the city to enforce the curfew," Vlasto said in a statement Friday evening.

Late Friday afternoon, after his contact with the governor's office, Jennings took a hard-line stance and indicated he had instructed his police force to enforce the city's curfew. He declined to talk about his conversations with Schwartz, saying: "It's not important."

Inside police circles, there was speculation by some officials that the pressure from the governor's office to enforce the curfew was about political perception. They noted that some critics had questioned New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's handling of a similar protest in lower Manhattan that has become an organized fixture, with medical supplies, food and even donated office space supporting the protesters.

Jennings and Krokoff could not be reached for comment on Sunday afternoon. About 30 tents remained as the sun rose Sunday morning, and protesters who stayed the night remained commited to staying in the park as long as their message had not yet affected change.

"I think this has to go on indefinitely," said Chris Scully, 23, an engineer from Troy, as he wrote "Our Way Of Life is Dying" on a sign.

Local media outlets captured a small fight on video that happened during the Saturday night protest, a scuffle that apparently involved a passer-by trying to take a sign away from someone. But police made no arrests. The protest, called Occupy Albany, is an offshoot of the ongoing Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City that participants say aim to eradicate economic inequality. The protests have taken place across the country and spread overseas, including London.

The police strategy in Albany was evident early Friday. Krokoff issued a departmentwide memo instructing officers "to be continually aware of the possibility that a small element may intentionally seek to draw us into conflict," according to a copy obtained by the Times Union. "At this time I have no intention of assigning officers to monitor, watch, videotape or influence any behavior that is conducted by our citizens peacefully demonstrating in Academy Park. ... In the event we are required to respond to a crime in progress or a reported crime, we will do so in the same manner that we do on a daily basis."

Bank of America trying to saddle the government with more bad debt, and the Fed is facilitating to the tune of 75 trillion dollars.

They are just trying to make generations of Americans debtor slaves. Ireland is challenging the banks over fraudulent debt and refusing to pay it. So is Iceland. If the Bank of America wants $75 Trillion let them go to Ben Bernanke so he can type in that amount in the Federal Reserve computer and wire it to their account. When they can print as much money as they want they don't need us. They can keep doing it too while we create a US Treasury issued US Dollar like Kennedy did and run with that. The banks can keep their Federal Reserve notes. Looking at it in the rear view mirror Kennedy knew exactly what he was doing.

I'm more interested in Occupy Washington DC. That is where the real problem is. Wall Street got everything they wanted because the politicians in Washington let them have it. We used to have banking regulations that made derivatives illegal and kept commercial and investment banks separate. The last four presidents and the US congress sold the citizens out hard. We wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for the law makers.

Notice that in that list of the top 50 corporations, you have one company (#50) that produces toxic Chinese crap and another (#15) that sells toxic Chinese crap.

The other 48 produce absolutely nothing, and basically shuffle money around from one to the other.

This is exactly what's wrong with this world.

That big ball of connected companies must be the thousand points of light daddy Bush used to yack about. I never could figure out what that was all about. I just thought he was going nuts.

That is a fallacy. The many of the "law makers" are also being cowed.

I think they got bribed. There are a few good ones but I have a hunch many have a big stash of money in The Cayman Islands or Switzerland. They are the people who gave our money to the banks. It's the only way the banks could get that much money from us and they created a huge debt to be repaid by doing it. Nobody is going to get their money back or things fixed until we change the political situation in Washington. Protest all you want, they don't care. Banking and Corporations are beyond borders now. They are multinational. $Trillions of our money have gone overseas. Probably to the Bank of International Settlements in Switzerland. I doubt there are any protesters there.

This is an example of an honest person within a corrupt organization that has become empowered to take action. In corrupt organizations, there are honest people that given an opportunity they will take action against corrupt practices.

The Fraud Triangle describes three factors that are present in every situation of fraud:
Motive (or pressure), Rationalization, and Opportunity

In this case, removing the pressure empowered an honest person to report observed corruption. Prior to the Culling Corruption Campaign (mistakenly called Arabian Spring – The Arabian Spring is vague term that allows a certain distance from the Culling Corruption Campaign phenomenon), a CEO would likely be cowed and treated contemptuously in pulp media for being forthright.

TOKYO | Mon Oct 24, 2011 1:21pm EDT
(Reuters) - The FBI is investigating the massive advisory fee involved in Olympus Corp's takeover of a British company, a person familiar with the probe said, in a deepening scandal that has wiped out more than half the company's value.

The British CEO who says he was fired for questioning the $687 million payment to advisers in the $2.2 billion takeover of medical equipment maker Gyrus in 2008 has called on authorities in both Britain and Japan to also investigate the payments.

The endoscope and camera maker said last week it would commission its own independent review of past acquisitions, although the ousted CEO, Michael Woodford, said the company was playing for time. It carried out a review in 2009 that concluded no management wrongdoing, documents he provided show.

The 92-year-old company is struggling to contain the crisis following Woodford's revelations. Olympus acknowledges it made the advisory fee payment and denies any wrongdoing. But it has not explained why it agreed to a fee that amounted to about a third of the value of the takeover when such fees normally come to about 1 percent. At $687 million, the fee is the largest on record.

Woodford, 51, who spent three decades at Olympus, has identified the advisory firms involved in the takeover as New York-based AXES America LLC and AXAM Investments Ltd in the Cayman Islands.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York is currently investigating the payment, according to the person familiar with the investigation. This person was not authorized to speak publicly as the investigation is ongoing.

No additional details on the probe were immediately available.

The New York Times first reported that the FBI was investigating the Olympus scandal.

NO ILLEGAL, UNJUST CONDUCT

Documents provided by Woodford show Olympus appointed a three-person external panel in May 2009 to look into the Gyrus takeover and three other deals. The panel found no problems with the way the acquisitions was conducted.

"Please ask Messrs Kikukawa and Mori why they need another 'independent' third party committee investigation?" Woodford said in an email to Reuters, referring to Chairman Tsuyoshi Kikukawa and senior executive Hisashi Mori.

The 2009 report was issued before Olympus paid the bulk of its huge fee to AXES and AXAM, Woodford's documents show.

Olympus said it was checking whether there was a third-party review conducted in 2009. In a statement on Monday, it denied Woodford's assertion that it switched auditors from KPMG AZSA & Co to Ernst & Young in 2009 because of a disagreement on accounting for the Gyrus acquisition.

KPMG had advised Olympus against making part of the advisory payment for the Gyrus deal in preferred stock, Woodford says in a letter dated October 11 to the Olympus board. The preferred stock ballooned in value and made up the bulk of the advisory payment.

Olympus said it switched auditors because KPMG's contract had come to an end, although Woodford's documents suggested "substantial difference in views" on some aspects of the Gyrus acquisition.

Olympus shares closed down 10.7 percent at 1,099 yen each on Monday. They hit an intraday low of 1,012 yen, their weakest price since March 1998.

Traders attributed the selling to long-only investors bailing out of the stock following the report of the FBI probe and reaction to more brokerages suspending their ratings recommendation on the firm.

"Many players seem to expect it to fall to around 700-800 yen," said a trader at a Japanese brokerage.

At 700 yen, it will be at about 10 percent above its book value.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange said on Monday it is urging Olympus daily to disclose more information about the controversial payments. It will look carefully at any third-party probe on the case.

Last week, Olympus bowed to investor pressure and announced it was setting up an external panel of lawyers and accountants to probe its past M&A deals.

Harris Associates, a Chicago-based group that holds 2.5 percent of Olympus shares, said the move was a promising sign.

"We think it's important that the panel members have no ties to Olympus, that they be given complete access to the company's books and records, and that they work quickly to get answers to our many questions," said Chief Investment Officer for International Equities David Herro.

Olympus has not given details on the identities of the advisers in the Gyrus takeover other than acknowledging that the fees were paid to two obscure firms, AXES and AXAM Investments.

Woodford, who is now in Britain, has sent dossiers on the Gyrus payments to British and Japanese authorities.

Olympus said it fired him after clashes over management style, while Woodford said he was dismissed for calling on senior executives to resign over the excessive payments.

Chemical bomb tossed into Occupy Maine encampment
By David Hench dhench@mainetoday.com

PORTLAND — Occupy Maine protesters say Sunday morning's attack with a chemical explosive has left them with a mixture of anxiety and resolve.

Stephanie Wilburn, 19, stands in the kitchen/communal area of the Occupy Maine camp. She was standing in the same areaaround 3:30 a.m. Sunday when a chemical bomb exploded underneath a table nearby. The bomb allegedly was thrown from a passing car. Wilburn said she lost hearing in one of her ears for about a day, but no other injuries were reported.

"We are more motivated to keep doing what we're doing," said Stephanie Wilburn, of Portland, who was sitting near where the chemical mixture in a Gatorade bottle was tossed at 4 a.m. Sunday. "They have heard us and we're making a difference."

Wilburn said she was startled and briefly lost hearing in her left ear when the device exploded beneath a table about 10 feet away. Wilburn's hearing returned and police said no injuries were reported.

Portland police Sgt. Glen McGary said the bomb was thrown into the camp’s kitchen, a tarped area where food is cooked and served. Protest organizers said the explosion lifted a large table about a foot off the ground.

"There was no fire . . . We had a good 20 feet of thick smoke rolling out from under the table," Wilburn said. They could see the "G" on the 24-ounce bottle and its orange cap, as well as bits of silver metal, she said.

She and a friend who ran over to look at it breathed in fumes that smelled like ammonia, she said.

Witnesses said a silver car had been circling before the attack, its occupants shouting things like "Get a job" and "You communist." They believe someone from that car threw the device, according to a statement from Occupy Maine.

The demonstrators are protesting what they describe as unfairly favorable treatment given banks and other corporate interests at the expense of working people and those trying to find a job.

Shane Blodgett of Augusta was sleeping in his tent in the middle of the park when the explosion woke him up.

"I heard a sound which I thought was a gunshot," he said, gesturing at the collection of three dozen tents that cover the south side of the park at Congress and Pearl streets.

"I was in fear for my life. I thought someone was walking around with a gun. I didn't dare poke my head out," Blodgett said. He eventually went back to sleep.

Katty Heath, originally from New Hampshire, now of Portland, said she slept through the entire event and didn't realize anything untoward had happened until she woke that morning.

Sgt. Glen McGary said the homemade bomb, which consisted of chemicals poured into a plastic Gatorade container could have caused serious injury.

Police are investigating and spent about two hours at the campsite, located at the corner of the busy Congress Street and Franklin Street corridors, collecting evidence to determine the compounds used in the explosive, organizers said.

Acting Police Chief Michael Sauschuck said today that detectives don't necessarily believe Occupy Maine was the sole target because another device was set off elsewhere that night. He described the device as the type often associated with teenage pranks. But he said police are taking it seriously because someone could've been hurt.

A statement from the group said many campers fear another attack.

The car, seen driving slowly past the encampment before someone inside threw the device, is described as an older model silver four-door sedan, possibly a Toyota or Nissan.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Portland Police Department at 874-8575.

Occupy Wall Street: Dozens arrested as New York mayor warns of more prosecutions
By Dan Brennan
24 October 2011

During his weekly radio program Friday, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg warned of increasing police action against Occupy Wall Street demonstrators. Five weeks on, the protest against inequality and the domination of the corporate and financial elite has shown few signs of abating, prompting an uneasy and threatening response from the mayor.

While admitting that protesters have not initiated any violence, Bloomberg noted that the marches proceed “sometimes without permits” and that the city administration “will start enforcing that more.” Although not specifying any exact plans for stepped-up enforcement, the New York Police Department (NYPD) has proved its willingness to make mass arrests, including over 700 on the Brooklyn Bridge on October 1 and another 35 in Harlem this past Friday.

Bloomberg’s remarks during the radio address continued to play up the supposed inconvenience of the occupation to residents and businesses around Liberty Plaza, thereby providing a pretext for eventual eviction. “There are businesses, people going to work, going to school, there’s drumming in the middle of the night, people just using the streets as bathrooms.” These noise and sanitation concerns, he argued, have resulted in three or four tenants threatening to cancel their leases.

Yet even among the local residents, there are sharp divisions in their attitudes toward the protests. Community Board meetings with Occupy Wall Street representatives have solicited roughly equivalent numbers of residents defending the occupation as those opposing it.

Bloomberg nonetheless seized on the latter, offering his interpretation of the first amendment. “The Constitution gives you the right to assemble, the right to protest,” he said. “I would also argue it gives you the right not to assemble, not to protest, and you don’t want to take away those peoples rights.”

The mayor offered no such Constitutional muddle in his defense of the city’s “stop and frisk” policing policy, the subject of an Occupy Wall Street-affiliated protest Friday in Harlem. During the demonstration, 35 were arrested as protesters blocked the entrance to a police precinct. The policy targets working class youth, particularly black and Latino young men, who are stopped on the street without any reasonable suspicion of criminal activity and searched by police for illegal possessions.

Statistics analyzed by the New York Civil Liberties Union consistently show the vast majority of those stopped, roughly 90 percent, are completely innocent. The NYPD under the Bloomberg administration has increasingly relied on “stop and frisk” to harass and intimidate growing numbers of jobless and impoverished youth. The NYPD is on track to stop and frisk over 700,000 this year.

The occupation at Liberty Plaza continued to draw support from thousands of visitors stopping by throughout the week. The WSWS spoke with a number of them. Ryan DuBois, an unemployed college graduate, explained why he felt compelled to visit. “This is the biggest protest movement in my life,” he said. “It is more than just a protest in DC, when people just march and people go home.”

He continued, “With the two-party system it is impossible to represent a country that is so big. The most important thing is that people are getting into the democratic process. Something new is being built here,” he said. “I don’t know how long this will last. People see what is going on around the world. In the Middle East dictators are falling. We are on the precipice of a new movement, a class-conscious movement.”

Talia Pulcini first came to Liberty Plaza three weeks ago and felt compelled to return Saturday. “I am 23. I am a student who is in debt even though I decided not to go to the school of my choice because of the cost of college,” she explained. “I have worked since I was 13. I was looking for a restaurant job after I got out of school so I could paint, but I can’t get that. I’ve never seen this situation where you can’t get a job in a restaurant.” Under these economic conditions, Talia said she had little hope of finding a job as an artist.

Referring to her sign, Talia added, “The standard of ethics of the one percent is out of touch with the rest of us. They go to different schools. They live in different neighborhoods. Donations and charities are good, but it is like bread and circuses for the masses. My idea of ethics is to do something that is not necessarily done for profit. It is to do something that betters society. Unfortunately the system facilitates the profit motive for the one percent.”

Andre Cooper, a Verizon field technician in Manhattan, told the WSWS why he considered it necessary to participate in a rally Friday supporting the Occupy Wall Street demonstration. “I am out here to fight for my job. They are trying to take away our living. Everybody is entitled to a fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work. Why is it only the elite have good health care, why not everyone? Why shouldn’t workers be entitled to the same privileges? You don’t have to have people in the poor house just to make a profit. Reinvest in the workers, better training, better health care.

“Every time something is brought up in Congress, they say it will kill jobs,” Andre added. “But there are no jobs being created. There is $2 trillion sitting out there [in the corporations]. They are not doing anything with the money. I still support the president, but we have to make corporations accountable. Occupy Wall Street is good. It has been a long time coming for people to get involved in this country. It took getting this bad for people to wake up.”

lol, that quote about the right not to assemble is such bull shit. What a fucktard.

Probably one of these type of bombs. Kids make them and leave them and when someone picks it up it explodes. We got the heads up on these a year ago. Kids are so stupid now.
