Hacker Group Anonymous Brings Peaceful Revolution To America: Will Engage In Civil Disobedience Until Bernanke Steps Down
The world's most (in)famous hacker group - Anonymous - known for effectively shutting down their hacking nemesis security firm (with clients such as Morgan Stanley and, unfortunately for them, Bank of America)- HBGary, advocating the cause of Wikileaks, and the threat made by one of its members that evidence of fraud by Bank of America will be released on Monday, has just launched communication #1 in its Operation "Empire State Rebellion." The goal - engage in "a relentless campaign of non-violent, peaceful, civil disobedience" until Ben Bernanke steps down and the "Primary Dealers within the Federal Reserve banking system be broken up and held accountable for rigging markets and destroying the global economy effective immediately."
The Anonymous manifesto:
- We are a decentralized non-violent resistance movement, which seeks to restore the rule of law and fight back against the organized criminal class.
- One-tenth of one percent of the population has consolidated wealth in unprecedented fashion and launched an all-out economic war against 99.9% of the population.
- We are not affiliated with either wing of the two-party oligarchy. We seek an end to the corrupted two-party system by ending the campaign finance and lobbying racket.
- Above all, we aim to break up the global banking cartel centered at the Federal Reserve, International Monetary Fund, Bank of International Settlement and World Bank.
- We demand that the primary dealers within the Federal Reserve banking system be broken up and held accountable for rigging markets and destroying the global economy, effective immediately.
- As a first sign of good faith we demand Ben Bernanke step down as Federal Reserve chairman.
- Until our demands are met and a rule of law is restored, we will engage in a relentless campaign of non-violent, peaceful, civil disobedience.
- In our next communication we will announce Operation Empire State Rebellion.
Glorious Chairman Ben - our free advice to you: change your e-mail password stat...

Your cleavage is imparing your practical brain functions. I'm an ass Man. I got long usd on Friday.
I'm long Muir!
Sorry, that's just the lizard brain reacting.
my first post to ZH...
What is this "pain and penalty" you speak of? I am ready to do my part, come what may.
What "pain and penalty" awaits us if we continue to do nothing and allow The Banksters to plunder our future?
Not to harsh your buzz but I have infiltrated Anonymous communication networks. I asked a member about the group A99, the operation opESR, and provided a link to the site to which he or she replied: "lol copyfags".
http://www.google.com/images?q=cool+story+bro
The language sounds correct. From anonnews.org:
"Anonymous - 2011-03-13 09:38:57 Something is afoot. This operation came out of nowhere. Which is odd because many people care about this operation. Secret is secret. Public is public. Public is not secret.
We don't know who is using the name of Anonymous.
I repeat charge your proxies and firewalls. Get your fingers off the trigger.
We want the fed to end. But we've already been notified of various odd behaviors among certain visitors in our midst."

Henry David Thoreau and “Civil Disobedience,” Part 1
by Wendy McElroy, Posted July 25, 2005
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862) was an introspective man who wandered the woods surrounding the small village of Concord, Massachusetts, recording the daily growth of plants and the migration of birds in his ever-present journal. How, then, did he profoundly influence such political giants as Mohandas Gandhi, Leo Tolstoy, and Martin Luther King Jr.?
The answer lies in a brief essay that has been variously titled but which is often referred to simply as “Civil Disobedience” (1849). Americans know Thoreau primarily as the author of the book Walden, or Life in the Woods (1854) but it is “Civil Disobedience” that established his reputation in the wider political world. It is one of the most influential political tracts ever written by an American.
“Civil Disobedience” is an analysis of the individual’s relationship to the state that focuses on why men obey governmental law even when they believe it to be unjust. But “Civil Disobedience” is not an essay of abstract theory. It is Thoreau’s extremely personal response to being imprisoned for breaking the law. Because he detested slavery and because tax revenues contributed to the support of it, Thoreau decided to become a tax rebel. There were no income taxes and Thoreau did not own enough land to worry about property taxes; but there was the hated poll tax — a capital tax levied equally on all adults within a community.
Thoreau declined to pay the tax and so, in July 1846, he was arrested and jailed. He was supposed to remain in jail until a fine was paid which he also declined to pay. Without his knowledge or consent, however, relatives settled the “debt” and a disgruntled Thoreau was released after only one night.
The incarceration may have been brief but it has had enduring effects through “Civil Disobedience.” To understand why the essay has exerted such powerful force over time, it is necessary to examine both Thoreau the man and the circumstances of his arrest.
Imprisoned for a night
“Civil Disobedience” was Thoreau’s response to his 1846 imprisonment for refusing to pay a poll tax that violated his conscience. He exclaimed in “Civil Disobedience,”
Imprisonment was Thoreau’s first direct experience with state power and, in typical fashion, he analyzed it:
Prior to his arrest, Thoreau had lived a quiet, solitary life at Walden, an isolated pond in the woods about a mile and a half from Concord. He now returned to Walden to mull over two questions: (1) Why do some men obey laws without asking if the laws are just or unjust; and, (2) why do others obey laws they think are wrong?
In attempting to answer these questions, Thoreau’s view of the state did not alter. It was that view, after all, which led him to prison in the first place. Judging by the rather dry, journalistic account of being in jail, his emotional reaction did not seem to alter significantly; he was not embittered by the experience. The main criticism he expressed was aimed at those who presumed to pay his fine, an act that the jailer said “made him mad as the devil.”
Toward the men who were his jailers, Thoreau seems to have felt more disdain than anger, stating,
It was the reaction of the townspeople of Concord, his neighbors, that distressed Thoreau and made him dissect the experience so as to understand their behavior. He ended his short, matter-of-fact account of his night in prison with a commentary on the townsfolk, which expressed how his eyes had been opened:
There is no cynicism in Thoreau’s description of his neighbors, whom he admits he may be judging “harshly,” since “many of them are not aware that they have such an institution as the jail in their village.” Instead he was unsettled by the realization that there was a wall between him and the townsfolk, a wall to which Gandhi referred in an account of his second imprisonment in South Africa. Gandhi wrote,
Thoreau may have also brooded over the reaction of Emerson, who criticized the imprisonment as pointless. According to some accounts, Emerson visited Thoreau in jail and asked, “Henry, what are you doing in there?” Thoreau replied, “Waldo, the question is what are you doing out there?” Emerson was “out there” because he believed it was shortsighted to protest an isolated evil; society required an entire rebirth of spirituality.
Emerson missed the point of Thoreau’s protest, which was not intended to reform society but was simply an act of conscience. If we do not distinguish right from wrong, Thoreau argued that we will eventually lose the capacity to make the distinction and become, instead, morally numb.
Near the end of his life, Thoreau was asked, “Have you made your peace with God?” He replied, “I have never quarreled with him.” For Thoreau, that would have been the real cost of paying his poll tax; it would have meant quarreling with his own conscience, which was too close to quarreling with God.
Beautiful! I make every effort to live by this.
Thanks for sharing TruthInSunshine.
Conscience is just another word for integrity. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing worth having.~Valerie
4:20 is coming. ultimate civil disobedience.
I can see dem dare Amerikan security Inteligence groups and the likes haveing a big Internet shut down boo-boo....
real soon.
And timely bank holidays. Perfect cover.
The bankers should let Julian go... It’s a high stakes game; and he has leverage. My guess, they don’t know what he has; with his worldwide operations he could hold huge bankbusters. He presses a button, and it’s out…
As Isoroku Yamamoto said after his attack on Pearl Harbor: “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant…”
Or, as the famous Tyler Durden said, “Oh, this is going to be fun.”
Everyone has a price. What's yours?
Liberty.
That price has already been paid. Yet to be settled.
And I think most recognize for the ruse it is. At the time this was unfolding, I did post something from the the much hated Huffington Post and, even worse, something from Naomi Klein. I thought it was very honest (and pretty funny!):
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/naomi-wolf/interpol-the-worlds-datin_b_793033.html
Julian has zero leverage. He lost it all at the book signing - all of it.
It always surpises me that given that this a finance blog - like how to maximize profits - so many jump on any trying to make money. Why shouldn't Julian ink a book deal? Why shouldn't Zerohedge show ads (saw someone complaining about it earlier)?
There is absolutely nothing wrong in getting your message out but supporting yourself at the same time? Or is there?
Who said anything about making money = bad? I didn't, but doesn't mean that actions don't have consequences, and Assange's cause suffered credibility loss cashing in on the same premise he purportedly was against. I believe you, like him, may be confusing business with principle.
You see, if he simply shut up and showed the world, the money could ultimately would come pouring in, but sadly his candy-ass sold out for pennies AND undermined his cause. He marginalized his position by aligning with the same people accepting record bonuses out of the US treasury claiming "God's work."
Truth is free, remember that. Those taking cash aren't driven by truth.
Game On!
Go ANON!
Go for it and good luck!
Let's just hope Nobama doesn't use this as an excuse to unplug the net, then things will turn from peaceful to ugly in a hurry. This will be a good test to see if the fuckers try to take down the internet to protect their own sorry asses.
as much as I would like to believe this fantasy, it has to be a psy-op. This is the system burning itself down to take on a new form. meet the new boss... Ron Paul, same deal. now that the fed has served its purpose, it will be disposed of in a way that makes it appear as if good triumphs... but, the same puppet masters will still be in control.
I respectfully disagree. Why does it have to a psy-op? I noticed when Wikileaks was still on the front page, many made the same claim. Has it ever occurred to you that it may be beneficial for those in control to paint any potential opposition movement as a psy-op?
I have no inside info as to whether it is or not they are legit but for now willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Look forward to see what material they release on BAC this Monday.
wikileaks = mossad/cia. fairly sure annonymous is no different. but time will tell.
You are a moron.
Careful your ignorance is showing.

On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order
11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve
Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at
interest.
With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the
privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_11110
Executive Order 11110 AMENDMENT OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 10289
AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF CERTAIN FUNCTIONS AFFECTING THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code, it is ordered as follows:
Section 1. Executive Order No. 10289 of September 19, 1951, as amended, is hereby further amended-
By adding at the end of paragraph 1 thereof the following subparagraph (j):
(j) The authority vested in the President by paragraph (b) of section 43 of the Act of May 12,1933, as amended (31 U.S.C.821(b)), to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury not then held for redemption of any outstanding silver certificates, to prescribe the denomination of such silver certificates, and to coin standard silver dollars and subsidiary silver currency for their redemption
and --
Byrevoking subparagraphs (b) and (c) of paragraph 2 thereof.
Sec. 2. The amendments made by this Order shall not affect any act done, or any right accruing or accrued or any suit or proceeding had or commenced in any civil or criminal cause prior to the date of this Order but all such liabilities shall continue and may be enforced as if said amendments had not been made.
John F. Kennedy The White House, June 4, 1963.
Of course, the fact that both JFK and Lincoln met the the same end is a mere coincidence.

Money is the creature of law and the creation of the original issue of money should be maintained as the exclusive monopoly of national Government.

We are Jack's smirking revenge.
Good thought. I'm impressed. I like you in a professional way.
I adore the idea.
And I believe the day will arrive. Just not yet.
Nice to see the resistence forming though.
Still to many people with just enough that they believe it is worth pretending though, going along with the 'game'.
I'm thinking 7-10 years before it comes to a head.
We have left 'terra firma' but considering the size of the ship, it will take much time before a sufficient number of people realize that we are in fact airborne and that a landing is inevitable.
If this is for real, from their recent past "operations", fairly confident Anonymous can get into wherever they want and get the ball rolling ASAP (i.e. shutting down banking systems online).
Don't think so. However, the ball is in motion.
The system is so complex, it is very difficult to predict outcomes, even for the decision makers. So the problem will always be unintended consequences, which is stopping many from getting involved.
A reasonable approach could, of course, be to poke at the thing incrementally to see which way it turns.
The people who run the system are psychopaths, able psychopaths. They are psychopaths because you need to be one to ignore the consequences. The same consequences that prevent decent people from acting.
We the people don't want this responsibility. The psychopaths are crazy enough to ignore it. Perfect match.
There is a pain threshold, but as the poster above me stated, it is years away.
Interesting post.
I guess we'll find out Monday if Anonymous releases anything significant on B of A, even if it is significant, do you believe the information will be disregarded?
I don't know, its hard to tell. Lets see what it is tomorrow. Japan may be stealing the headlines still.

Good proposal there, Doc. New alphabet would sure throw a wrench in the search algorithms. Get to work on that new keyboard layout please.
The powers that be will start a war when they get backed into a corner where they think they might lose. Things are going to get interesting.
You young men will be carted off to serve as pawns and die.
Face it, the Empire is Crumbling, Long Live The Empire (It used to be a Republic)
Going by the Mason / Illuminati symbols in our national architecture... I'm skeptical that we ever were a Republic... Definitely not one since the Civil War... and perhaps not one at any point in the 19th century...
These "young men" to be carted off are alReady pulling their masters' dirty secrets out of their holes, and getting them the appropriate channels. How much worse will it be if The Beast hurriedly inhales another few million young people without the time to properly vet their systemic loyalty?
They're in a box, and they built it themselves.
Understand that the physical trumps the ideal. Their system cannot continue indefinitely, as it is inherently counterproductive – it ultimately undermines the very power it needs to prop itself up. In Ecology (and a few other fields) it's called "Saturation".
I've saved my comment virginity for this post- I hope this is the real deal. Hackers can change the world much in the same way Wikileaks has. Thank goodness for the internet, where would we be without it?
Another finds their voice! Welcome.
Continuing your thought -- which is why the "Internet kill switch" idea is a fightback from TPTB. This needs to be opposed. See futher Egypt 2011.
Hey, speaking of which, how much you wanna bet that Monday, we will experience a glitch in internet operations? How much you wanna bet it will be "due to Japan's nuclear reactor affecting connections"?
Why, that might be something the BofA would pay for! Oops, I meant pray for.
Congratulations for laying your virginity on the line here, and not being ass-raped for it.
One never knows what will happen. I was pretty well reamed on my first few posts. But then, arguably, we had a much hardier and feisty group "back in the day".
Now I'm trying to remember, did I get me some o' dat tail? ;-)
LMAO...
Oh, the agony. The faces blur by so quickly, Missy, I can't be sure.
But I sure as hell hope so. If not, just lie to me anyway.
PS: Looks like I have a secret admirer? I've been junked at every turn.
The www is the modern device that truly threatens the stanglehold on power wielded by TPTB, as it has revolutionized and democratized access to and dissemination of information to billions, most of whom would have been formerly shut out and cut off from learning, communicating and planning.
Look for TPTB to implement far more aggressive attempts to monitor and control access to the www and to limit the type & amount of information now available to all.
It's only because of rapidly developing crises in politics and economics that hundreds of millions are now seeking out important information - the type which ZeroHedge has as its raison d'être.
This might be the only thing to save us.
OH SHIT! I guess I better look for a new job.
Ahem - Excuse me sir, would you like fries with that?

For any unemployed Anonymous wannabe who has the time and talent, please create the following:

Using Wikipedia style entries and links, we collectively and transparently need to simply identify EXACTLY who is pulling the strings in this financial carnage. So lets set some parameters shall we. Every large public and privately held company (failed or merged or "healthy") chief executives, board members and share holders holding more than 20% ownership at any time for the last 40 years needs to be identified and linked by and between each other. Consider this just another organized crime investigation. If the FBI wants to spend their time reading blogs to find Amerikan AQ instead of putting these Beasts in prison, then that is their business. We don't have time for Sergeants.
This is not about "eating the rich" per se, however take Jeffery Immelt. Everyone knows him as the GE guy, but how many know he sits on the board of the the NY Fed. What other boards does he sit on? And who are his friends? He's Obama's point man on "jobs," yet his sole mission in life is to send US jobs to Asia, collect TARP and count his own money. Here's a fucking cockroach that needs some sunlight and yet is he a "bad guy?" How does he rate quantitatively with his peers? Six Sigma motherfucker. Maybe he's just like Obama, waiting for instructions. There should not be a penalty in working hard and getting rich, but after a few decades, its not about money but power and these money worshiping creep fucks need to be outed. What happens after that who knows?
Its not a crime to sit on a board of a big company and make a million a year, but it is a crime to engineer an artificial financial holocaust upon the world and profit from both sides of the trade. Maybe all this 2012 endoftheworld bullshit is about marching these guys and their families into a blender.
It should not have to take actions like this, but the information is all out there. We just need to stop reading the Forbes 400 and move on to real data mining and putting it for the world to see.
Sucking all that data in for the last decades will yield remarkable information on the elites that grossly profit on your families' duress and suffering.
Fighting a menace is a defensive action.
Try re-reading the Declaration of Independence and maybe the Spirit of this Republic will be reborn.
Nice idea. Very nice.
...'cept for the marching families off into a blender. Otherwise, fine.
This is total BS. This is a FAKE org, like many bloggers here, and was created by THE MAN --- it is a FLY TRAP. Free speech is simple. You just call it out and exercise free speech and your 1st amendment. You don't need an organized group of any sort to do anything. You simply speak the truth and keep speaking it. Exercise your 1st amendment and don't stop. Keep speaking the truth and remember people are suckers for the TRUTH. These FACELESS FLY TRAP orgs are BS. Just more garbage by broken individuals whose own family's wealth and pensions will disappear like the rest of us. Darn shame these dumbies don't do their job and protect society against real criminals who defraud trillion$. Dumbies will end up broke at the end just like everyone else. Guess what dumbies, The Spanish Inquisition did not stop the Reformation and your ridiculous games will not stop human thought. The old saying "your not fooling anyone but yourself"
let's see if they can follow it up, too early to call BS
the TRUTH can (and will) get you killed !
effing sweet...
be relentless, give it all you've got
the scum deserve no less
You amaze me. This is a financial website. One question? How does your pimp rinse his/her money?
With all respect, yes, it is primarily a financial website. This particular article, however, is a deserved and timely diversion from the strictly economic debate. It is ultimately a money question, but only in the sense that it is the ancient evil of "the love of money" problem that got us here. Bend with the wind, grasshopper, or snap in its fury.
Last I checked, it wasn't your site and no one absconded your keyboard to bring you here.

Well, this is certainly interesting. Although, the melodrama is a bit tiresome -- I'd like them to just release what they have without all of this Dr. Evil telling-you-my-whole-plan-before-I-kill-you nonsense.

Misread your post - first reading was the following:
Will it ever reach that point? I actually don't think so. People's outrage over the financial crisis is papable and it seems to be reaching critical mass.
Keep posting Girls. I'll be back from Japan on Tuesday. Damn I love women. You beautiful sexy creatures! Those hips!
While I applaud these guys, if the poor bastards do anything and get caught they'll get the full-court press terrorist treatment as a lesson the rest of us.
Here is how we get back our country/world... I call it a consumer strike:
1. DON'T BUY ANYTHING except food, fuel, necessary medicines and PM's.
2. Don't watch TV, and especially DON'T BUY ANYTHING ADVERTISED on TV.
3. Move your funds to community banks and credit unions. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH AN INTERNATIONAL BANK.
Extra credit (this really sticks it to 'em):
4. Convert your assets to physical property/PM's and barter for your needs as much as possible.
5. Buy used items as much as possible.
Folks, I'm sorry to say -- voting for either party won't change anything. Peaceful protests, civil disobedience won't change anything. Violence certainly won't. But we can bring down the elite by going on strike.
STARVE THE BEAST, and pass on the word when ever you can.

How better can it be said? He said it better than I ever could, Bobby Zimmerman, that is.
"Gentleman, he said..
I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards."
....and further...
"Peace will come..
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
Between the King and the Queen of Swords."
I say bring on Anonymous...bring on truth that works and works for us all.
If not now, then when?
I'm not sure if this is reporting-worthy, letalone sticky-worthy, as Anonymous will eventually get bored and move onto other things. Saying that though, I do support them in their quest regardless of how far they get
Just remember that if you guys get invited to use LOIC, make sure you are behind a proxy for your own safety, otherwise don't participate. If it involves public demonstrations and whatnot, do attend to help their cause
Some make the dangerous assumption that the elite care about money.
When I speak of the elite, I'm speaking not of the wealthy (although many are that), but the people who are truly powerful, and who number in the low thousands, a few hundred or so of which are household names, and the rest being fairly invisible.
Money to them is just one of the tools in their toolbox, used ultimately to garner control.
Other tools are plant media sources, a second-to-none sponsorship program, a database and access to a dossier of materials and other proofs used to bludgeon and blackmail government officials and others, along with other non-monetary resources.
These people are mini-gods in their own minds. They have crafted plans about how the earth should look and who will be awarded what percentage of the global resource pie, and who will live and die, and under what conditions and terms. I would contend that most of them believe they are martyrs for the cause of sustainable humanity.
The reality is that the physical world is far too complex to really exert coordinated control over, given any appreciable time line, that the law of unintended consequences is a bitch, and that the road to hell is paved with good intentions ('good' being subjective and in the eye of the beholder, such as the very real belief in this social set of 'useless eaters' needing to be culled).
They have important meetings in impressive settings, and they are a catalyst for much of the social and political events in the world, but they vastly overestimate their own efficacy.
Moreover, on a long enough timeline, the survival rate of the elite, in any and every form they will ever take, and the plans they have so diligently and fervently crafted, drops to zero.
They really fucked up by pulling the trigger before they had another planet to go to. Hubris will prove to be a bee-atche.
Let's just hope that the U. S. is not just the Duke Brothers dollar bill.
There is only one truth and that is truth itself. This present regime will not accede to any term or terms that involve truth. Not talking Obama, talking Re-Federalists that conveniently forgot the basic tenents of Federalisim...those who are aware of the sell-out but are complicit by their knowledge, with fraud in fact.
They assume (as they always have) that the public won't get wise to the game that the "-crats" are in on, but they are way underestimating the game, as in France many years ago. Not suggesting the Guillotine at all, but worse...KNOWLEDGE and ability to express and lodge complaint.
Go away you that will not stand for the mean and the median that must be held. You have no business being there and will not last unless your mettle is proven, because these days require mettle. Horse shit is cast. Where will you be tomorrow?
I heart Bernanke.

I know that I'm practically incapable of hacking an envelope, therefor my abilities in the electronic field is limited to ideas. My contribution therefore, will be to withdraw all of my remaining savings from the bank and cancel my accounts. This will close down part of their balance sheet. Let's call for a Bank Run Monday.
There are hundreds of other things you can do to complicate the fiscal lives of TBTF banks & financial entities, simple & easy (for you), if you are dedicated to the task at hand, and they require no use of technology whatsoever.
I’m quite busy on Monday, how about Tuesday?
It's a date.

Could you see your way clear to participate in a National strike?
You betcha.
Good news, expected. Americans are pissed off, as is everyone else. Nice if the USA takes the lead as it is the root cause of worlds today's problems. Boom generated bust, A prolonged bust, it only begins.
Timeless, sage advice from Carlin, but let's hope he never envisioned Anonymous and their ability to really bring devastating force down on the corrupt, and use this power as a true force for change towards the good and pure:
“They say we need more money for education. That’s the big answer to everything, education. They say we need more money for books, more teachers, more classrooms, more schools, and more testing for the kids, and they’ll say, well we tried all of that, and the kids still can’t pass the tests. Don’t worry about that, because we’re going to lower the passing grades, and that’s what they do in a lot of these schools. They lower the passing grades so more kids can pass – more kids pass, the school looks goods, and the IQ of the country slips another 2 or 3 points. And pretty soon all you’ll need to get into college is a pencil. Got a pencil? Then get in there, it’s physics!
Then people wonder why 17 other countries graduate more scientist than we do. Education – politicians use that word, they use it on you. Politicians have traditionally hidden behind 3 things: the flag, the bible, and children – no child left behind, no child left behind. Oh, really it wasn’t too long ago you were talking about giving children a head start. Head start – left behind, someone’s losing ground here, but there’s a reason. There’s a reason for this. There’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason it’ll never ever be fixed – it’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you got, because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now. The wealthy big business interests that controls things, and makes all the important decisions.
Forget the politicians, they’re irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea 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 payed 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, so they control just about all the information you get. 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 that are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table, and think about how badly they’re getting screwed by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? Obedient workers – Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines, and do that paper work. 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 disappear the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your social security money. They want your 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 place. It’s a big club, and you aint 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 being) – continue to elect these rich douchebags 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 counted 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.”
– George Carlin
The infantile rantings of an unruly mindless mob. Inevitably nerdfags are drawn to communism and worse. See: the French Revolution, October Revolution, Cultural Revolution. This army of drones has been programmed from birth by their masters and are now simply executing their instructions, albeit unknowingly. The problem, Mr. Anderson, is choice.
You presuppose too much.
Just because some historical upheavals of the status quo resulted in chaos or worse doesn't mean others didn't lead to far better living conditions and far better legal, social and economic conditions.
There once was a dream that was Athens, Rome & America, and the dream was lived by many for a long time.
What would you have said to those in the 13 Colonies who hungered for freedom from the British Crown? Would you have called them fools? Naive?
In retrospect, maybe. That experiment lasted, what, 60 years? A republic, if you can keep it ...
What I would have said to Lincoln and Seward, Stanton, Blair, and Jeff Davis, Lee, and Stonewall Jackson:
"Mi amigos, the Democrats are right. It is not worth the blood, deprivation, and agonies of the million men and their families, that was the result of the War Between the States to enforce unification of an irreconcilable group of men and women who should not be 'married' in the first place. If they want to secede, let 'em. The country will grow to 400,000,000 people in the not too distant future, but long after we are gone and the long term unintended consequences and effects of which we cannot know. No country can be ruled effectively that has 100,000,000 people let alone 400,000,000. This is as good a time as any to let the country naturally divide, save a million lives, and freedom of the black man will come in its own good time to those southern states without the sacrifice of even one man. The price is too high to pay.
As regards the revolution, if there is war to secede from England, one day about a hundred years later, England and the United States of America will---- if not actually but--- virtually be one country again run by a select group of Zionists. All those lives lost in the war will be for nothing but the profit of those who can exploit it for their own personal financial gain. We will fight to save England enriching another if not the same group of war profiteers at the price of another million sacrificed lives through conscription, in essence depriving them of their rights to life.
Men who seek to perpertrate these things are psychologically damaged monomaniacal ego-maniacs. Lincoln, Roosevelt, Churchill, Hitler, Pot, Mao, Amin, and all the rest think that they have all the answers. They are in fact liars in every fiber of their being attempting to foist their vision of how things should be on the world. They are criminals masquerading as heros. And the people are too stupid en masse to see it."
mscreant - thank you for kind words. i am here daily but dont post as frequenlty and still think ZH is the best newsite on the interweb. these guys will inflict more justice than all 50 AG's and one Eric "Place" Holder. To quote from one of my favorite movies Man on Fire "He will deliver more justice in a weekend than 10 years of your courts and tribunals."
Gosh I love that Chris Walken and Denzel never mails it in as he certainly is the consummate professsional.

America deserves batter than what Egyptians have done.
Explain?
Why shouldn't people take to the streets in America to DEMAND change for their government?
It is inheritly America to do so!

I'm on the south island of Japan. I couldn't sleep. You are one hell of a smart woman! You are a good person. You certainly hold your own. Liked the dst comment. Damn I'm impressed.

Hope you people will bring the bankers to their knees.

It seems to me that with the quake/tsunami/meltdown triple tragedy in Japan, that the system might already go over the edge starting Monday.
Hope and Change, we can believe in? I'm all for bringing truth into the light, but I'm thinking this game is reaching the end by itself.

I thought for a minute i was listening to Emerson Lake and Palmers Karnevil 9 third impression.
Cyber-Satyagraha is the way.
This is a tricky one. I agree wholeheartedly with all of their aims, but I also know that most of them are probably extreme left wing, smelly student revolutionaries full of angry hormones who would impose something to the left of Maoism should they succeed.
On balance, and with deep regret, I think I'll keep the bankers.
left wing, right wing, who the hell cares? Take care of the problem first. After all, we have to have something in common, like maybe thinking the Westboro Baptist Church are douche bags?
You really are conflicted aren't you?
and:
That's not choice nor indecision. It's total lack of sanity.
You should begin the picking of a partner in this dance. Wallflowers will be the first to die.

I can't wait until "Inside Job" gets released on DVD and the masses finally see part of what this is about.
Unfortunately, in spite of call out at the Oscars, I don't think it will get wide distribution - it is after all a documentary.
Sadly, the documentary The Corporation was a quiet hit on DVD . . . but it did little for the culture.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pin8fbdGV9Y
Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.
- Abraham Lincoln
Got my DVD of "Inside Job" from Amazon the other day. To bad they did not name names for who did and did not do what. That said; I am happy I viewed it. But the story is still unfolding......
I would side with nearly anyone if it meant getting rid of Bernanke.
things are so fucked up in the states, if this organization gets labelled a terrorist organization, you can actually be put in jail for arguing they are not, giving legal advice to fight the designation, or I think (not sure) by supporting their goals
hhttp://www.amconmag.com/blog/assassin-nation/
The American Civil Liberties Union is suing to compel Uncle Sam “to disclose the legal standard it uses to place U.S. citizens on government kill lists.” The Obama administration has responded by invoking the doctrine of state secrets, effectively claiming that national security demands that these policies be kept hidden. By hiding behind state secrets, the feds don’t even have to explain why the law doesn’t apply to their actions.
Well now, isn't this fun?
I was so excited when I first read this that maybe the rule of law would be forced on banks. I worry after watching the video though that they will be easily characterized as financial terrorists and the sheeple will turn a blind eye to the fraud they expose.
Of course the sheeple will turn a blind eye!!! TPTB have totally neutralised the vast majority of the population with chemicals (fluroide, prozac, and god knows what else) and psychology (TV 'programming' and MSM 'news').
But the revolution need only be fought by an 'awake' 5% or so of the population to be successful. Neither the French nor American Revolutions utilised more than 5% of the population to overturn Louis and George. In fact, the oligarchs are controlling the destruction of the planet with far, far less than 1% of the populace actively assisting them ... the other few percent who appear to be supporting them -- including most bankers and politicians -- are just unwitting participants "hopping in for their slice of the pie" before they are also destroyed by the true oligarchs as useless buffoons.
PS. And don't count on the "rule of law" being forced on banks! We need to re-write 98% of the existing laws to remove all the pork barrelling, special privileges and anti-social laws passed over the last 50-100 years that have allowed the oligarchs to maintain the dominance of their banking and criminal interests under the protection of their vassals in the military-industrial complex.
This is the fastest and most threads I've ever seen on an article. Must have struck a nerve! Good for the Anti-Bernanke Vigilantes. Bernanke is destroying this country with every new dollar he holds. Tax-Cheat Timmy needs to be fired and his printing presses need to be shut down! Its like these guys don't believe the Weimar Republic really existed. Ron Paul better stop talking and start acting because he's alot of hot air so far. Let's see some results Ron!
Daylight savings time.
This is stupid if you ask me.
Bernanke is there because the pwers that be who out Obama in want him there.
One needs to hit at the core. Not give this adminstration which is in cahoots with the crooks a chance to institute further controls on the internet.
Americans have become too lazy. Look at the Middle East where people take things into their own hands.

Interesting, the government and TPTB has just been given an excuse (not that it needs one) to attack itself and has a handy scapegoat.
Some new false flags/scams - The Oligarchy (as anonymous) hacks a government institution to shut down the internet, hacks a financial institution to steal mucho denero, hacks a power plant to extend the life of stutnex and blame it on militant muslims (I am sure a link to al queda is in the works already).
I expect all of these are already in the works, but planning is easier now with someone to blame.
EDIT: If you want to remain secret you shouldn't have Stephen Hawking narrate.
