More Police Brutality ... Protesters Win (For Now) ... Own a Piece of History
To celebrate (the getting to stay part, not the beating part) and be a part of history (and as an investment - these bad boys are only going to appreciate in value when he becomes mega-famous), buy one of our very own Wiliam Banzai's buttons direct from the artist.
Banzai is too humble to toot his own horn, so I'm doing it for him.
Note: All proceeds from the sale of the buttons will go to a very worthy charit ... directly into his pocket, to buy tequil ... enable him to create even more works of genius.

well that is very troubling. i was hoping texas would not get it that much, i am thinking of getting one of those radiation meters. i want to see what is around me, stuff that.i cannot see.........it is something unfortunately these days, that all families need. they are saying now that it will never end..........
there was some guy in st louis on youtube that regularly puts out reports on what he is measuring. i believe he was measuring something like over a hundred times back ground radiation readings.

after any rain, he says always go and get your car washed and then put it in garage. do not bring that stuff into house..........good idea these days .........crazy world we live in.......crazy...
Nothing has changed, in 100 years. The faces change, but the tactics remain the same.

errr.....any evidence that can back the claim that Jews are 1% fo the population in the USA?? 1% of 300m = 3 million - I could've sworn I have seen more than 3 million Jewish extras and guests on Seinfeld episodes!
Fact: the Jewish population in the US is FAR HIGHER than 3 million....so the conspiracy theory that 1% is a code word for Jews since it coincides with the Jewish population % in the US is just plain wrong.
Identifiable Jew pop of US is c. 6 million. There's that majik # again....
its kind of like holohoax survivors...........everybody knows one...............
LOL! good one!:
Gotta share this one with my friend Gershom when I meet him tomorrow......he usually doesn't mind such jokes....
Alinsky was a, ... wait for it ... Jew.
The sound of a couple million heads exploding ;-)
The self-loathing of the liberalz vs. the hard-dick Zahal-vetz always amazes me. - Ned
Green for the two adults above.
Its incredible ain't it DoChen...all they are left with is little red arrows ;-)
Boys are back from the game...time to grill.
Seeya
There is nothing "liberal" in the crowd we oppose...quite the opposite.
U b right. I was taught in the rather "liberal" tradition of Mortimer Adler (psssssst.... "a Jew") (by a Calvinist, teacher, don't cha' know) about classical "liberal" thinking/process.
Dang, "free thought", "free expression", "Open Discussion", ... Dang.

Dang, "free thought", "free expression", "Open Discussion", ... Dang.
What a concept eh? ;-)

Police brutality or not: these are the early signs of the rot beginning to engulf the whole of these United States. Reaganomics is long dead and the assumption that unbridled capitalism leads to good since self-interest, profit motivation and the "invisible hand" will fix everything has been proven wrong: the end result of this mentality: the 1% uber-rich getting away with it EVERYDAY, ALL DAY while the masses keep suffering with no end in sight. So its come to this and my guess is that such actions will continue in the foreseeable future - pretty soon the baby boomers who hit retirement will realize that they too have been conned as some of the social security benefits they were promised will be "tweaked". Not all those who reach retirement age can charge $100k per hour on the lecture circuit like Alan Greenspan - yes the individual at the helm of the Fed Reserve for over 2 decades....
And no before all you neo-cons accuse me of being French, communist, socilaist, Marxist, freedom-hater, yada yada, I would like to clarify that I am none of these.
Unbridaled capitalism? Are you serious?
There is 1.7 billion dollars in regulation costs siphoned off the US economy every year. The EPA cannot even factor in the cost of a new regulation.
They have a brand new regulation for hay...fucking dried grass...animal fodder. Stuff that grows and dies on its own...and because someone bundles it up they see a need to regulate it.
Its bullshit before it ever became bullshit.
You mean the $1.70 in new 'regulation' costs that are supposedly incurred.
1st, no proof whatsoever in 'regulation' costs
2nd, most people like clean water, air, etc....
3rd, fascist poop gobblers opinions don't count.
ZH is being overrun by PoHuffs and OWSers. Where's the Cavalry?
This cavalry was at a homecoming football game...which pretty well beats this morass of stuff dribbling from the mouths (keyboards) of the inarticulate anarchists.
Rest easy with the knowledge that GW's posts are a small refuge for the nut jobs in the ZH community. Easily beaten back by logic (usually their own lack of it suffices and need not be answered, such as the ridiculous "no proof of the cost of regulation" comment by Saul's ghost above).
Carry on...
lol...no doubt.
The proof can be readily found on any search engine...1.7 trillion dollars.
And the costs of what "unregulated" Wall Street banker wankers have unleashed on us: is it $ 2 trillion and counting since the sub-prime debacle?
Goldman directors ending up working as Treasury Secretaries, NY Fed heads, etc.
I am not for over-regulation but Occupy Wall Street focuses primarily on....u guessed it: Wall street and the bankers' irrational exuberance and that "Greed is good" principle that has screwed us over while they enjoy millions in severance pays, publishing memoirs, etc.
The problem with regulations is that Government doesn't attract the brightest lights in the business. The regulators have no fucking clue what a CDS, CDO or even ETF are, and/or how these may explode and bring down the world as we know it.
Government is constantly building the new Maginot Line, fighting the last century's war.
Yes, it is good to have good regulations - easier said than done. It is far too easy to have ineffective and burdensome regulations which cause a drag on productivity with no real gain in protection. Examples: TSA bag checkers, Sarbanes-Oxley, and the hits keep coming.
The real problem is rampant Corporatism, which is just a by-product of Fascism, the too chummy relationship between Government and Business (oh yes, and the Supreme Court, let's not forget them).
We can continue to blame non-root causes, but until a large number of average people stand up for an end to Corporatism, or maybe a beginning of "No Taxation without (Real) Representation," (sounds familiar, doesn't it), then problems won't get solved.
Good comment, although I'm not in the corporations are evil camp...they do what they do under the rules handed down.
I'm of the opinion not everyone can be bribed. These are the ones who should be "public servants".
m-e
Who the fuck knows what they are focused on?
You don't, they don't (evidently, can you come up with a coherent message that they have? They haven't!)
Of course, when they (the #OWS crowd) are told what their message is, then we'll all know.
Gotta' love class warfare, tear down the "enemy" and, let's see, nope, no improvement for the "masses." Don't cha' know.
- Ned
Don't be too hasty, it always takes a while for incohate rage to coalesce around some well defined principles. It's too early to tell.
Also, the disinformation is flowing freely at this point.
There are some smart people attending the rallies, and people are desperate. So the means and the motive to defining something lasting are there.
Hopefully they'll figure out they need a branch in DC next (and that Obama is not on their side).
@New-Meat
You know what they are focused on. Reality. That something is wrong for them.
"but Occupy Wall Street focuses primarily on...."
Most of the know that the American Dream has left them behind. Some went to college. Even ones owned by Goldman Sachs. (EDMC).
So yes, they did try to better themsleves. But Goldman Sachs believes in Socialism for Banks, not society.
Even if Society has taken that dream away because Politicians have Socialized the Banking System at the cost of it's citizens.
Yes, as I have always said here "We are Worse than Japan now"
Because of Zombie Banks. And most do know that the Bailouts exist.
The smarter ones know those Bailouts paid for 'Lloyd Blankfein's 100 million dollar bonus' A Goldman Sach's CEO.
And the Smarter Ones know that Republican Judd Gregg is a Goldman Sachs Advisor Board Member.
How many dollars does he get under the table. So don't think that they are not learning.
They know it's screwed up and want it fixed for them. Not for Judd Gregg's next election campaign paid for by Goldman Sachs.
duuude, have another toke.
'cuz u gotta get your mind right.
'cuz "Society" hasn't done, nor "Taken" anything away.
'cuz the "college students" have spent their own future on their "loanz".
And, well, Judd Greg, lmao. I doubt that he's standing for election. Rather ever again.
U a frosh at UNH? Just wonderin'???? Stupid as a frosh, don't cha' know.
How about the conflicted Levitt at Boomberg: Wonderin'

Well played, Ned. A fun read. A fun read, indeed. Hope sleep treated you well after that fine display. :D
"And the costs of what "unregulated" Wall Street banker wankers have unleashed on us: is it $ 2 trillion and counting since the sub-prime debacle?"
The money men were assured and in some cases forced (Janet Reno, redlining zones etc.) to make subprime loans. The mortgages (in the event of systemic default) would wind up on the peoples tab. Which is exactly what happened. We can't re-write history here.
Regulations were issued and enforced.
This is not to say either side is more to blame than the other...but the capacity for people seeking to do a great good to wind up doing great harm cannot be underestimated.

NY Post Headline:

NY post actually has reporters on site. GW is <where?>.
Let's see, "march" onto a main thoroughfare, sit down, pOleece come by, ruckus ensues, GW claims "brutality."

Right outta' Alinsky.

{I'm rather surprised at the pace of the violence, didn't think it would be this fast.}
{{'course, when u b playin' poker with Boomberg and Mumblez, u can take all their, ... er ... pot.}}}
The many videos showing police beating women in the face, macing people, etc. are pretty compelling.
The pigs have lost in the media war.
"Mumblez ?" Hizzoner, Mumbles Mennino ?
u bettcher.
Ned/DB...
Great image - Mumbles Menino at a dinner party with Sarah the Hunter. That'd go well. :D
The Post - owned by Rupert Murdoch is more a 'Capitalist tool' than Forbes...... BTW - Forbes has had some surpringly positive coverage of OWS.
The NY Tabloids, WSJ (another Murdoch rag) and even the NYTimes have been astoundingly limited in thier coverage - focusing more on arrests and conflicts while downplaying the message.
Forbes is no capitalist tool. Just a tool in my mind.
BTW - There is NO MESSAGE. Don't call out the news for not reporting a formless, aimless gathering of anarchists. Threre are pockets of collectivism within the OWS "crowd," but you wont find from a sampling of 10 folks there the ability to articulate the same raisons d'etre for OWS.
"Let's point our indeterminate rage in this direction and see if anyone listens. And if they don't, let's get under some copper skin until they take the bait and we can blame them for their 'brutality.'"
It's no wonder these folks can't find real work...
That is all.

vietnam veterans beaten by cops in boston.. message to the fuzz. don't do this. do not do this. you do not want to do this. i am telling you. you will regret it if you open this can of worms gentlemen. my advice to you is to leave it alone........
Totally agree. The marine snipers are going to start slaughtering some pigs if they aren't careful.
HPD: maybe yes (Vietnam Vets), maybe no: their claim only. I walked by the site last weekend and, well, maybe.
Beaten? Hardly. ACLU is watching "sensitivity training" that Mumblez is requiring of all of the front line cops. The crowd (who were on "environmentally sensitive" turf) have destroyed North of 1/4 $MM of "plantings."
Of course passing by "Occupy Boston", there is the documented case of accosting and spitting on a serving Coastie in uniform, e.g."
http://news.yahoo.com/occupy-boston-spitting-incident-shows-lack-common-...
How insensitive: spitting on a Coastie babe.

once upon a time in boston in 1775, so long ago...........................hmmmmm...................
wait until the Mass Troopers get involved. Have you seen their uniforms resemblance?

Nazis in blue.
Holy Crap. I thought I fell into the Hot Tub Time Machine and went back to Nuremberg.
History doesn't repeat but it often rhymes.
AH: actually, the saying in the Commonwealth about the State Police is "We find the guys with a hair across their ass, then we eliminate the guys with small hairs."
Have you seen any resemblence with the U.S. Army of like 1900 or so?
But, not to worry, Mumblez has his "donut-brigade" on the job, eeeeeeelectricitieee is being provided free of charge, local businesses are shutting down due to the non-paying workload and inability to have provisions delivered, while there is no customer traffic due to the "peaceful nature."
Go Figure.

{How appropriate is it that your initials are AH? Just sayin'}
good grief........ yes you are right..........pathetic........
well, we're back to the 60s and 70s in USA. Main street now the same as during the past. I wonder if the US will rap up external wars to divert.
Well, Zero just invaded Uganda. That's right, Uganda.

Africa is asset-rich - in mining deposits and farmland. True they don't have a vibrant financial services sector, but the thought is that is going to (less than) zero soon.
