Protest At JPMorgan Annual Meeting In Ohio Leads To The Handcuffing Of At Least One Person, Eight Arrests
Some time ago it was primarily the G7 meetings that drew the Molotov cocktails and the anarchists crowds. Now it is the annual meetings of the big banks as increasingly more people realize that it is not the toothless developed countries but the banks backing them that actually pull the strings. The Washington Post reports that "at least one person was handcuffed after a group of about 400 protestors marched up Chase’s property and placed a sign on a raft floating in a pond in the bank’s premises. The sign read: “Foreclosed: Chase sinks our economy. Annual shareholder meetings of large banks routinely draw protesters. However, security this year has been especially tight after Wells Fargo & Co.’s annual meeting on May 4 in San Francisco became a rowdy scene after hundreds protested outside. Inside the meeting, a group of shareholders demanded that the bank immediately stop foreclosures and waive principal for troubled home owners. The shareholders were escorted out of the meeting by police. Eight people were arrested for blocking entrances to the building." Perhaps it is too late for Dimon to use the Blankfein "doing god's work" excuse at this point. Or not. However it is unlikely that any such proclamation will be met with any more success than its first iteration.
More on this event which is sure to become a pervasive phenomenon at every bank meeting everywhere:
At least one person was handcuffed after a group of about 400 protestors marched up Chase’s property and placed a sign on a raft floating in a pond in the bank’s premises. The sign read: “Foreclosed: Chase sinks our economy.”
Police had each entrance blocked ahead of the meeting, as protesters gathered in the rain and cold chanting slogans such as “Make Banks Pay” and carried signs that said: “Chase gets rich, we lose homes, jobs, services.” At least 20 police cruisers circled the building.
Inside, several shareholders spoke out against the bank’s handling of mortgage foreclosures.
“As a person of faith, my God believes you shouldn’t take advantage of people when they are down,” said Dawn Dannenbring of the community group Illinois People’s Action, addressing CEO Jamie Dimon. “Do you believe in the same God I believe in?”
Dimon answered: “That’s a hard one to answer.”
After another question on foreclosures, Dimon said: “We are doing everything we can to keep people in their homes that should stay in their homes.”
Sure he is: as reported previously the average duration of foreclosure in New York and Jersey has grown to a ridiculous 900 days, as banks do all they can to conduct REOs on their terms, which would mean not impairing the "MTM" value of impaired mortgages and thus have their books face a hit to its capitalization ratios. And while living mortgage free, all those "consumers" are urged to used their funds for such much more reponsible activities as buying up the latest Apple product and paying off their JPM credit cards.

Wait!!! The shareholders were removed from the shareholder meeting by police?
I guess the predator-executives DO own the companies they "run", not the actual owners. Wow!
this motherfucker dimon is the biggest coward out there. he certainly does not know a god of love and compassion. this mofo holds his shareholders meeting in fucking columbus ohio, his fucking groping and rape manufacturing factory, Chase Home Finance, mortgage servicing headquarters. what a fuck this bastard is. this goose needs to get butt fucked like his buddy in rikers is going to get. hey if i was younger and better looking i would try and get this guy to butt fuck me, so i could get his butt fucked in the prison of fucking columbus ohio, buckeye state. i remind you. this mofo using ohio like his prostitute. setting up his ponzi shop of mortgage servicing whore ring. ohio has been decimated to the ground, like detroit. these thugs need to be taken out. i can't even believe he has the nerve to show up in front of shareholders. i wonder if they had him in a pullet proof vest. this mother fucker is just that, he would fuck over his mother†
You might want to consider decaf in the future. ;-)
LOL, junked for a joke!
This place is too much sometimes.
junks only mean something if you think they do. just like fiat..
Video crossing the moat to Chase Castle shareholder meeting. Looks rather festive, when's the next protest?

it is sad to watch.. to be serious for a second.. no drama, no shrill for the shock and awe of it all..
we are watching the un-winding of the best system ever devised by man kind.. becuase of GREED! how could we let the masses be led so astray.. how could we ignore the effects of allowing ignorance to prosper un-hindered?
we all will suffer becuase of what we allowed to happen.
people wanted austerity.. well they are about to get it.. people wanted others to pull themselves up by their boot straps.. well let’s see how those same feel when they themselves are the ones pulling themselves up by thier boot straps.
when the stock market is 6,000.. now 4,000? because of the printing? no one will be the better for it. The ego of man trying to inflict upon another man a way of life.. when the 1st man's cup runeth over? really? well now suffer what you have wished upon others, that is your punishment.
anyone that chooses to ignore these words or allows themselves the luxury of denial will be the most effected by thier own actions.. seeing another suffer when you had well beyond what you needed, to only in the end cause yourself strife! Your children will suffer what you forced upon others. This fact you can no longer escape, the world is a different place.. the damage is done.
So CONGRATS!!! your childrens quality of life now suffers because of your spoiled egotistical tantrums. May your votes and financial support weigh heavily upon you and yours.
The Republican, wanna be conservative dream is here!
There will be no help.. for anyone.. for anything.. at any time.. in the foreseeable future. And this damn sure includes you and yours.. so you had better have enough to go around to take care of you and yours!
when your cup runeth over, the best you could do was support the demeaning of others? for any reason? it was the best you could do? cause harm, cause less to be available to others? You are a God Send! which God Sent You, I will let someone else help you figure out.
FIGHTBACK AMERICA!
So at last, the people start to realise that Fascism isn't all about goosestepping and swastica's.
It's the merger of corporation and state my friends - agents of the state jump to protect the banks from the people.
Pandora's box has been opened - it's a shame America has taken so long to work this out - the Greeks have been complaining about it for 2 years now.
Austerity has NOTHING to do with Government spending - it's all about control and testing how much you can suppress people before they react.
Each time there is a crisis - they test again, the spiral is downwards to a world of total state control by the oligarths - not a nice world you are leaving for your children.
touched your junk, now you touch mine?
dimon went back through columbus where he was based with bank one, pre acquisition. they do have their mortgage servicing center there. that is his justification.
that said, i agree with most of your other points.
yay, BancOne diversion, as if WAMU never happened, These are NOT the droids you are looking for...
Good job venting, pissed=honest!
Go Freedom Fighters!
My reaction the same: Wow! As "WE the People" are the stockholders of this country and it's owners what does , or should it tell the people of this NATION: The police will determine who the "owners" truly are.
FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU VERY MUCH! Milestones

(doesn't jamie believe in himself anymore? c'mon jamie, where's the old self-confidence?)
...hard to answer. Shit, Dimon was thinking "I thought I was God!, WTF - don't they get it?"
to be fair, how could he know whether she worshipped lucifer too?
+
Blankfien is doing God's work, so many he's working for Dimon?
Well you see, its all about perspective. You've just gotta get it in your head that these folks, well meaning as they are, are really just profit delivery vehicles. See. Easy. Perspective.
I thought tmosley was curing cancer today, but it seems he found time to break into the JPM meeting with his "crash the Comex" sandwich board and a pocket full of Jack Sparrow coins that cost him more than he can sell them for. They would have thrown him out but they were laughing too hard.
Yeah, we should all be good little toe kissers like you and just take the shit from the fraud ridden banks. WTF?
Nice to see where you come down on all of this.

After all that the elites have done for you....you..ungrateful peasants! /s
86 the Morgue - Buy Silver
I'm suprised no one has screamed at them for completely anti-constitutional practices such as shorting silver and manipulting every market they can get their hands on using strong arm non-free tactics.
Then again, such protests only find one imprisioned shortly thereafter.
You can't really blame them for using anti-constitutional practices. It's not like they're the government....
Probably - hopefully - just the first of a series of protests...
I have to admit that I am really quite surprised that there has not been an outbreak of violence against the heads of large banks....
Have you taken a look at our prison system lately? People don't want to get locked up.
Reminds me of the Bill the Butcher speech about Fear.

The same rules apply. The elites know they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, to whomever they want. DSK getting charged with rape was a total fluke, a complete exception to the rule.
Or was it all part of a carefully orchestrated plan to take him down without having to risk an assasination? A plan contrived by his foes within the elite. Between his softening IMF stance, potential to lead socialists to pres of France, and his part in exposing the squid and the morgue's part in the Eurozone PIIGS disaster, the elites decided he had to go. What better way than a media circus sting, busting him doing what they all know he does.
And his replacement is an ex US Treasury and Morgue guy himself! I know eh, ya just can't make this stuff up!
That wasn't it. Jamie was pissed that DSK wouldn't share the maid - after all, what's the self-respect of a mere human girl who works for a living next to the shriveller dicks of bankers and IMF Gods?
won't be long ........
Polaris building. I have no idea where those protesters found a place to park.
Awesome! as if they have cars........
They arrived on buses. They filmed the crossing of the moat. What fun.

One almost wonders if the banksters funded this pathetic sight just to laugh at the people taking part. All in Columbus, Oh..home of the Buckeyes.
The old JPM headquarters across the street from the NYSE still has bullet marks in the 1st floor cement from an attack many years ago. They were allowed to remain, just to show how little damage the pleebs could do to the mighty empire.
Probably visible in streetview.
In the old days Rockefeller and the boys would just have their goons set up machine guns and cut these protesters down. They are lucky to get out alive. Where do they think they are... in a constitutional republic?
Not no more.
You are smart about JDR's mining ops, but his oil transx are more emulated by Wayne Huizenga. JDR was all about "doing business", ie. there was no wrench in the monkey works, DO or DO NOT, there is no TRY. You make good comments, progress is a result. We cannot say that today, from my condo association all the way up to the white house.
…the sleeping giant finally awakens.
I saw a few in the crowd I would consider moo moos, but I'm not sure any "giant" has awoken... nor do I suspect this will stir any such "giant", presuming he is not on permanent nap, into awakening...
Protests are breaking out all over this great land, many arrested in california last week, 20,000 (may 12th) on Wall Street.........if somehow they could meld into one cohesive group, change might happen........
http://www.usuncut.org/
Funny, I haven't heard much coverage on the MSM.
Precisely. Will be interesting to see if there will be any coverage, when instead of 400, there are 4000, 40000 protesting and what they will say about them. Terrorists? Will be interesting to see how "law enforcement" handles it when there are 4000, 40000 protesting.
Right, but what are they protesting? How are they doing it? The problem with the american predicament is that the lion's share of the time, those seeking reform are precisely the ones who benefitted from the immoral system and have yet to make apology for doing so... they only get froggy when the shit goes south on them... i.e. the gravy train ends. This rings true for both top and bottom.
Wake me up when the protests turn into a simple desire for an opportunity (as equal as possible) to retain the fruits of one's labor. Then, finally, the collective will have awoken to the concept of their salvation... until that day, it will be nothing but begging and thievery by one class or another.
I feel exactly the same for german sheeple...university here is crowded with either socialists or sociopathic money-whores. Those few in between have gone into some form of hibernation.
My conclusion is: it has to get much worse, and we aint seen nothin yet.
What scares me futher is the fact that we in GER are doing many thing exactly like they do in the US, only with a 5-10y timelag. Which makes it even more ridiculous, as all those (un)intended consequences could be easily assessed/avoided.
But i guess we all know that, for quite some time now. Hold tight! We are in something t that will probably make the beginning of last century look like a picnic.

If Egyptians can master Social Networking for protest purposes, why Americans can't master Social Networking?
We're too well-fed and entertained.
Starve us a litt—er...a lot more and we'll get feisty, I promise.
because we are hoping somehow we get an allocation from goldman of the pre ipo facebook shares - we never learn
Revolution was costed in @ $11k / annum.
Seriously - do your research; MENA is field testing, nothing more [sadly. A small puppy died within me that day I learned the truth]
"Do you believe in the same God I believe in?” - Dimon answered: “That’s a hard one to answer.”
...Dimon said: “We are doing everything we can to keep people in their homes that should stay in their homes.”
he's an A-list A-hole, but at least he's honest on both counts.... unlike Goldman's "God worker"
I will respect the banker who comes out and says he works in finance "because I like to fleece orphans, to make widows, to destroy souls, to rape and kill and torture. I do it because I can, and I do it because I like it. There is no God, and if there is, I'm the closest thing to it. I hold no illusions anymore and you will not stop me as I take what you like.
Amen."
hahaha...next year's annual meeting is scheduled for Pierre, South Dakota.

Everyone needs to learn how to do this at the protests:

It will scare the crap out of bankers. And it makes you want to tear stuff up.
But silly chants are so effective!
You can see pics of the event here... They even built a bridge to get over the moat...
JPMorgan Chase Shareholder’s Meeting | Showdown in Ohio-Crossing the moathere is the video........sorry if posted
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GuyExsgyoo&feature=player_embedded
You know, as much as I like the idea of rising up, that looks kind of sad. I'd bet not more than one person there understands what they need to rise up against. All they know is that they were victims of JPM's "greed."
If it were only that simple, they might be on to something. Instead, they are the ones that appear simple, relying on mindless slogans devoid of meaning, while completely missing the bigger picture.
Was there a single sign there implicating Freddie/Fannie or any other government agency? Or was it all merely JPM = Greed = bad?
Now, some might say this is still a positive development, but being so unfocused, I see it as creating a space for JPM to garner a bit of sympathy from the portion of the herd who believes that the protest is solely against capitalism (which with the greed focus, in part it is).
In other words, it plays well in both camps of this polarized, divide and conquer game.
Well shit, at least it looked like they had the moat crossing bridge system down pretty good. That's the start of unit tactics. Rinse, repeat, and then duck from the incoming fire.
Duplicate post removed
At least they DID something. How can you criticize these people for trying to speak out for themselves against the same injustices you claim to abhor? Why don't you get off your fat ass and away from your computer and do something real outside the Matrix of your own arrogance? You said:
"If it were only that simple, they might be on to something. Instead, they are the ones that appear simple, relying on mindless slogans devoid of meaning, while completely missing the bigger picture."
Yeah, "...they might be on to something."
Like you? Sitting around poking at your computer judging others behaviors, intelligence, and motivation while dismissing their very real action and activism.
jaime dimon is a motherfinking niggar, just like his butt fuking president obama is. these nigga's need to get slapped up against the wall and spread them† hope this website isn't censored by the special services, and i would be taken to the principals office about dubious statements in regards to the president of the new soviet union of united NOT states.
Ok, I just have to reply to this one too, just to test the junkster waters...
well said.
Nice rant. Junked by JPM board of directors.
Need to practice ninja shoe throwing more often.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7K4jH7NqUw
Mmm - shoe throwing may become more popular.
shows bringing in the shit in their homes is a cause to panic. Please keep the S*** we have pored over you and a few cops waiting for you
Thanks JP for getting tilted some more. Hope you have a short on your own stock when people get smart
Proud to be an American like these fine protestors.
The last time I felt this much pride in my country was when the gov. defrosted OBL and threw him in the ocean.
i cant wait for molotov cocktails to make their appearance in US protests. If citizens continue to be used and abused by govt and banks, it could very well happen.
And they will be purchased, assembled and tossed by the finest dupes the CIA/FBI can find.
See the book, False Flag Attacks, Chapter 3, Creating Sympathy for Evildoers while Demonizing Your Enemy.
Here's a clue. Violence is a useful game for breaking things. Fixing things require cooperation.
+1 nice
Fat chance... if bringing molotov cocktails to a protest means death, then there will be none given they're not as advantageous as other readily available weapons, e.g. firearms. If we we're in Greece, sure... if people were certain they would not be fired upon by police... not so much in the U.S.
We're essentially left with uber peaceful protest or ultra violent protest... not much in between due to incentives and risk aversion... and ultra violent protest ends up being actions by individuals given they can rarely convince other people to join due to the consequences... e.g. Joseph Stack.
Yup. And it will get more personal. Protesters will start showing up at the homes of these sociopaths, not some "public" space. It will be done stealthily. More like injuns, not like redcoats.
WE THE PEOPLE
Give me liberty or give me death!
We have just begun to fight!
Remember that stuff?
Is this the exercise of free speech? With no results, do bankster-hating-protesters now move on through the amendments in numerical order?
Nothing is illegal if 100 businessmen decide to do it. Andrew Young, in Money Talks.
New Business School Degree: TEO = Thief Executive Officer
20 police cruisers circled ........and i am supposed to feel sorry for these fuckers when they lose their pensions !
of course, the klepto-traitor elites will make sure their hired guns are paid well enough to keep on keepin' on... whether Blackwater goons & private "citizen militias" "protecting" DROWNED PROPERTY in New Orleans (after Katrina rains) by preventing Black flood refugees from crossing bridges into "whites only" precincts... or cops & National Guard protecting Bildberg, G-20, and other elite cartel "how do divvy up the world's assets in secret & private" meetings, etc.
(although MORAL in US MILITARY in Afghan is hitting ROCK BOTTOM from the accumulated affect of 2 decades of post- Cold War treasonous GS/JPM/Fed/r's economic sabotage & "national security" expanding warmongering, at least according to this USA Today report - http://www.usatoday.com/news/military/2011-05-08-troops-strain-morale-afghanistan_n.htm )
And, because the Klepto-elites are not more competent than Hitler's 'elite' "the bunker" crew, they will probably get around to SABOTAGING police, firefighter, and other govt. emergency workers' pensions, too...
ROFL! You slay me, Tyler.
Haha - last night on the radio I heard a commercial for a "security group" offering their services for the protection of private citizens as well as commercial entities. The punchline was "workplace safety for corporate downsizing activities". Great stuff - a new low...obviously they believe there is a market...
Didn't you notice Xe just got fined about 5% of their fee for making a private 800 man army for the Saudis? In direct [and third violation] of US law.
In the land of the Capitalist, we all know what effect 5% 'after the crime' penalties have. Fuck all.
Ak47 has been the most successful product of the 20th C, fyi. Children can use it, which means less down time when combatants get wasted.
At least the criminals at Xe are theoretically marketing to foreign sovereign states...
The commercial I listened to was directed at the wealth individuals of this country.
With regard to 5% penalty - if you are on a "cost plus" contract - which almost all M/I contractors are - how does any penalty matter? It's a joke...
As for the AK47 - Kalashnikov perceived himself as a patriot - no royalties for him.
I heard Monsanto had hired Xe muscle for its executives. Any truth to that rumor?
I know all these bankstas will have there own private armies.
And if it's imported into the states, A twist tie will turns it full auto.

Hey clown.
Post your manifesto that I think all of us could agree to, and let's get organized and focused and start some shit.
...ah, a bridge to far, or was that a lone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBXjThmQwWY
...beyond the cries of fools; now bum rushing people that are not their brothers keeper, whom they bought from and sold away their cover, for the sake of their own twisted temptation, can you not hear the Red Stripes dripping off Old Glory and into the BTFD Cup of Fornication which is overflowing with the labor of corruption? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGOrBx9jc3M&feature=related
''Earn it'' never crossed their minds, be it the bums crossing the bridge or the scums that established the bridge lone without labor.
Talk is cheap. Taking these bastards out is going to be expensive. We must remain mindful that corporations are now individuals. Lets get the ACLU to sue them in a class action - if all we get is the triple damages that would result from the illegal profits they have made by filing false claims with HUD, defrauding and stealing real estate, and laundering drug money (now THAT one really opens a can of worms for damages in civil court), the we can take the bastards down with their own game. No need to fire any shots - I want these bastards to live long, long lives - as broke cripples in Cartagena.
You are right....talk is cheap. I'm so sick and tired of hearing everyone (myself included,bitching online, and doing exactly nothing to change anything. There are enough great and like minds on this site to get some kind of movement going that we can all work on together. These fuckers have gotten away with too much for too long, and we need to do something to wake people up from this wicked slumber. Sure, we're doing our part to stock up and BTFD, but lets do more. What, specifically? I don't know, but lets debate some serious steps and get working on it.
I proposed a flash mob at the squid's main lair. Perhaps you could help organize it?
x2 that nothing will occur until people start seeing the hungry vacant stares of their own children. Once we cross that line, change will come, and it will come quickly. Hedge, and Prepare accordingly.

His poor judgment is what set him up. This is not the first time.
And none of you girly men would join me. Even when I offered to pay your bail money.
These assholes belong in jail-- their time is coming. The peasantry can only take so much... but maybe by then they'll be distracted with another war oh and this will be a doozy of one as the banks can pay some rogue element to run plenty of interference. Then again, I could be just too suspicious. In the end, what matters is more and more people waking up and doing something about the banksters/central banksters.
Poster sign theme for the next protest
"We know about THE SILVER SHORTS"
"We know about THE LEHMAN KILL"
and most of all
"We know about THE DERIVATIVES!"
