More Police Brutality ... Protesters Win (For Now) ... Own a Piece of History

George Washington's picture




 

 

There was more NYPD police brutality against peaceful protesters - but the protesters won a round ... and get to stay in the park (for now)

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.

6238828974 5389387b60 b Brilliant Protest Art 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.

Actually, looking at the ratings, the OWS trolls are beating the Systemites 2::1. Nice job, you flea-bitten parasites.

I was at first shocked at the response iv seen on zero hedge comments, then i remembered that a lot of people on here have some kind of connection to wall st  .  And others that just need to hate everything.  Great day world wide tomorrow.  I'll see you there.

All of this public turmoil may hold audience attention in the media, but the bottom line is that we do not have any rights that we are not legally prepared to defend, ourselves.

Don’t matter what you did
Walk on your tiptoes
Don’t try “No-Doz”
Better stay away from those
that carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
and an eye on the plain clothes
You don’t need a weatherman
to know which way the wind blows

It would be illogical to dispute the possibility (probability) of agent provocateurs. Should that be reason enough to remain quiet and just eat our peas like we're told? Some risks are worth taking.

Some 40,000 demonstrators, far more than were expected, descended on Seattle in late November 1999, determined to shut down the first W.T.O. ministerial conference to be held on American soil. During five days of civil strife they prevented many of the trade ministers from attending the conference.....http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/377586/Battle-in-Seattle/overview    it's  not a bad flick

And as a result, police departments all over the US have learned how to deal with this stuff more effectively.  But unlike during the Seattle demonstrations, in today's world everyone carries a camera, it's a game-changer.  They can't get away with this shit now.

Transfer money to small, local banks and credit unions.

Engage in barter with neighbors and community members whenever possible.

Boycott big corps whenever possible. 

Buy local food. 

Minimize tax payments whenever possible and legal.

Fabulous summary of the problem and steps people can take right now. Especially that last one. Having grown up with all the propaganda about how Pravda was all propaganda, it's odd to see that process come full circle to the point where I now go to RTV to find out what is really going on in the States (among other places). Television is one of the most potent control mechanisms they have at their disposal. Turning it off is equivalent to silencing their voice in your mind. And better still, one can have a bit of fun with it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6XbkaIwb-w

"Minimize tax payments whenever possible and legal."

If you are going to stay within the confines of the rules they impose upon you (but don't apply to themselves) then you will never win.

Just the same, many of us have been doing this our whole lives.  Glad to see more waking from their slumber.

I just ordered my two...with a credit union debit card. Chase blows and their cards are prohibited here. I'll be stylin' at the next demonstration. I hastily made a sign and all I could find was an old cardboard backer from the range. It's riddled with bullet holes...lol.

Reminds me of Germany pre WW II. The brown shirts, inspired by their leaders, Pelosi, Obama, Biden did their damage, protests and other dastardly deeds. Now they are almost out of control and a gathering storm. Time for the SS.

Not sure who will do it, probably the returning "professional" military when the foreign bases close down. They will roust out those protesting rats and emerge as a terrible force to be reckoned with.

Yes, history is repeated when we do not learn from it.

You're just well established and would like to preserve the status quo at all costs, looking the other way and accepting that you're ruled by fraud and corruption.

Don't get too comfy. The gig is up. Before you know it, those protesters could be uniformed and asking for real CHANGE.

I hope the reason there are so few comments on this important thread is because everyone is out there and taking a stand for what is right, and telling the vermin on Wall Street that their financial blood sucking days are numbered.

Keep up the good fight. I don't know if you're all legit or if you're all there for the same reasons but I do know that the status quo is shit and that it needs to change, no matter what. Maybe it's going to be dark ages like after the French Revolution but something better will emerge until that fails as well. It's human nature to strive for something better, offering more opportunities and more equality.

Fuck the top 1% and take it all away from them. They don't deserve it and most importantly, they didn't earn it fair and square! It's all on the table and it's all up for grabs. Fight piracy with piracy.

You have something here. There is a historical record of fiat systems failing and impoverishing whole populations, and the system was set up and is maintained by intelligent people who know its nature. They aren't innocent fuck-ups who 'want the best', they are pirates, on a planetary scale. In spite of the trouble it will be to recapture the loot, it's critical to do so, if only to send a message that will echo down the ages.

Got a different take on it.

Since we know it's pre-planned (by Progressives), I think O is hoping the affair will get totally out of control, spread, get really violent,and give him the ONLY way to stay at 1600, in 12 (likely beyond).

"legal observers" are nothing more than staged confrontations soley intended to bait the cops, which they did. these tools are about to find out what it's like to spend more than a few hours in Rikers....good riddance to the experimental art fair!

if those sites are saying fuck a police state then it should resonate here.

bloomberg gave them a pass how benevolent. they provoked nypd how could they.

your only coherent criticism is that protestors blocked traffic. arguably this can be solved without police violence. more concerning are political, military, and financial crimes by a small minority against the interest of most others.

nypd are dogs in pig uniform (gringo you speak as a sheep pretending the danger's not real). nypd your orders come from far away no more...

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around.
So have a good drown as you go down, alone,
dragged down by the stone.

hey Donsuck, right back at ya. if you really think these idiots are representative of the kind of solutions this country needs, then good luck. there is nothing constructive coming out of this band of wannabe protestors and frankly i think the whole thing is funny, especially the comparison to the Arab Spring. i think everyone of them should be droplifted into Ciudad Neza for a couple months to experience what real poverty is.

So, you would recomend continuing the same failed policies and social actions that have lead to the next world great depression?  I really do think these "idiots" are representative of the kind of solutions this country needs.  You speak of armchair cowboys or whatever, well those people are not in their chairs, they are in the streets standing up for equality and justice in a country that was founded on such principles.  Does all of your money get in the way of you seeing this?  Why can't you understand that our system is completely corrupt and rotten, and these are the only "main street" people willing to take up the fight and get things straightened out.  Are you part of the 1% or .01%?
