+1 What he said!
If these demonstrations were held by Wall Street execs protesting against their puny bonuses there would be red carpets and ticker-tape everywhere.

stop acting like Mubaraks' thugs?!?
for a guy who purposefully labelled this Tahrir Square 2.0 George, you're getting awfully choosy about casting....
another case of 'American exceptionalism,' or just further proof of the playacting nature of media driven protest movements in general? Was that supposed to be ketchup in your script? Who do we blame...the caterer?
NYPD go home, we are not at war with you. Continue to protect the banking cartels, and you will likely see collateral damage. You may be the last to lose your pensions, but believe me, when the financiers are done with you, just like the mob or drug cartels, you will * be eliminated. Join us now, or step out of the way, either way, let us through. The protesters are peaceful. It is the police and especially the white shirts (bleached brown shirts) who are the aggressors.
WHITE SHIRTS = BROWN SHIRTS. Wake the fuck up now before you end up like the jews in Germany. Is it really that fucking hard to see, even knowing it happened in the recent recorded history? We even live in the Homeland for fucks sake. I don't give a crap what economic system you want for yourself, do not impose it on me, and come out to fight the real enemy, the financiers who are destroying the world.
* not did not belong there. damn.

A policman is committing an assault if he simply goes in bashing people with a baton unless it is in self defence.
Those policemen swinging batons should be charged, discharged and imprisoned. They think they are in Libya?
It appears to me the police here are trying to provoke the protesters to violence. Maybe so they have excuse to escalate their own violence. Are the NY police being paid off by the banksters to bash people without cause and escalate the violence? It appears so.
This is counter productive because this type of behaviour by the police will only bring 10s of thousands more onto the streets in absolute outrage. This doesn't seem it is going to end until their is a pitched war between banksters and the general public. The banksters will have paid for police and private armies. The public their own blood.
The real enemy of the people, enemy of the USA is in your own backyard. Banksters, their paid for Congressmen and some corrupt police departments and corrupt regulators. Good luck America but it seems your only chance IS if the entire economy crashes in a heap and the reset button pushed. Sure glad I don't live there.
I agree, the police have no idea what they are messing with. They clearly have no idea what kind of effect their own petty violence has on crowds. It is almost comical to see them taking all the wrong steps because now they are just getting tired of being there. The protestors have worn them down and are winning the chess match. It should be clear to them by now that this is the real deal because it is long lasting and getting bigger instead of going away.
The purpose of terrorism is to start a wider war. You can apply that to this situation in that the protestors are tricking the police into escalation.
Meanwhile Obama is on a bus tour. ROFLOL
If it was a war you wanted to start you could do that with an M1A 308 rifle (or take your pick) and 60 rounds firing from a standoff of a block away and then leave the weapon in the apartment / office you started firing from.
There are something on the order of 300 million firearms in the USA. It's not difficult to get semi-automatic rifles into NYC at all.
The tipping point will be when the police are out numbered to the point where they can't protect their own or retaliate. The nation as we know it will change-- could be good --but most likely bad.
At that point they call in the Guard, set up checkpoints, and decide if they want to "relocate" the protestors or have a bloodbath.
Since this isn't going away, sooner or later they likely go for the bloodbath. Will the Guard do it?? Probably they send in a unit fresh back from the sandbox, to maximize their odds??
Either way, things get "interesting" afterwards. Those living in the cities might want to evaluate their buildings for bullet resistance and fire hazard. Might want to be able to stay inside for a week or two, unless you are equipped and trained to play Army.
The crackdown is a part of the planned provoateur program!
those fuckers with the white shirts are the real thugs......it may time a few those shirts turn crimson red
This will not end well...I see civil war and or martial law....and anyone with half a brain can see the O.B. admin. wants this to happen. Out of chaos comes power. Never let a Good crisis go to waste. Whip up the flames O.B. ...Keep it up destroy America.
new york has been a police state since 911. now with this action going on, it will give them more excuses to clamp down further. hegelian dialectic in full action now......and most new yorkers will say........yes bring it on because we want to be safe ...............out in those crowds are many agent provocateurs and spies as well as many well meaning dupes........the dupes are used for the purposes that the controller wants.....and they don't even know they are being used..........
Come now.
You have just defined "end well".
If you can show me how to make an omelet without breaking eggs I'm all in.

You are correct!!!
This would be the perfect excuse to declare a state of emergency and suspend elections like that hillbilly NC governor suggested!
It's coming....or something similar....I can feel it in my bones!

Many of you agree with these people and their militant stance - which is fine in concept.
However, when they can't protest against government anymore due to crackdowns and they still need to take their frustrations out of someone because the video game they just played showed them how to kill people quickly and efficiently - guess who that will be?
Yup - you and your family.
The gun turret and the guns were loaded up in my yard this morning.
Gold and grub are secure and in their places.
Welcome to the Apocalypse you all wanted - liking it much!
I told you watch out for $2000 gold (it'll be there sooner than you think).
So you believe that these peaceful protestors, when done with the government and banksters, are gonna pick up guns and come after you and your family. Truly delusional.
No. This is a good thing. He will be holed-up in his bunker peeping out to guard against intruders. This is good. He will be inactivated and unable to act. This is good.
Bannana Republic, Kent State Massacre Next?
I post on a site that is covering this extensively. You would not believe the discord b/t posters over this protest. This is complicated....here are my observations:
\
Infowars has good articles covering the protests and exposes those who are funding and co-opting these protests. Check it out at: infowars.com
Occupy Washington DC has been planned for months and it starts today.

Good on tech, bad on math.
I took the trip over and found a very sparse page with a first grade math error in the first sentence.
Not only was the calculation wrong so was the source data.
Q: When did the U.S. invade Afganistan ?
From http://october2011.org/ -- "October 2011 is the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan and the beginning of the 2012 federal austerity budget."
Austerity budget? There has been no budget for over over 900 days! The democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the Presidency and they still didn't pass a budget.

I know that, too. It goes from Arab Spring (a total construct by Western foundations) to American Fall....
Wow....American Fall....that is too poignant!
They better get on with it, because nobody in the Northeast, Midwest, etc. is going to be outside protesting in the American Winter. Maybe they'll move south...Occupy Disney bitchez!
LOL!
Actually, although it is already too cold for me and my arthritis to occupy shit, anywhere, I suspect that these younger people will make a point of staying. I remember enjoying winter camping back in the day, properly equipped.
Imagine the dramatic impact of folks camping on the streets in howling snow storms.
I don't think they're gonna retreat.
Actually, I don't think it will get that far. I see this ending/winding down one of two ways:
1) The group fractionalizes as competing agendas grow with more and more groups trying to co-opt the protest (if you're a Monty Python fan, think of the Judean People's Front vs. the People's Front of Judea).
or
2) A common agenda begins to form and the protests escalate. If this occurs, I expect the opposing side infiltrates to stir up trouble (turn it into the London riots), thus justifying a massive crack down on the whole thing.
Just my opinion.
History certainly supports your argument. We'll see soon enough.
For you George Washington

Protestors should forget about dressing as zombies and show up wearing army surplus gas masks and protective sports gear...
In some Polish protests, they brought 1,000 miners with hammers, and other heavy tools. You would be surprised how well behaved the police was, facing these miners. Any miners left in Pennsylvania or West Virginia?
Bring ultrasound devices - will work miracles on the mounted police. It would be fun watching horses doing Zorro dance.
I stopped reading your crap a long time ago, but, I was dragged in by your comparison of the cops to Mubarek's troops. If these underwashed, organized dregs went back to their hovels, there wouldn't be any "brutality" to lie about, would there? Oh, after the muslim brotherhood blows up the Mideast, you'll be longing for Mubarek!
Is it just me or is the gap widening not only between the rich and the poor, but the material and spiritual (and I do not mean religeon)? There IS an awakening, an increased awareness, not only of why things are happening, but also of what we are, what we have become and how much we have strayed from our purpose ... and yet, there are those who are seemingly still completely blind.
My belief is that we should forget what we have been educated to believe; forget what the mainstream is propagandizing; forget materialism that creates massive polarization and has historically lead to the destruction of every human society for at least the last severy hundred thousand years and more likely millions... and relearn to use our own reason to sort it out and think for ourselves. Whether we have external help or not, the facts say that we kill ourselves off and restart over and over and over again. We are moths drawn to the material flame because our material form is designed to challenge us .... and most of the time, our wings ignite, we are given new wings and we have to relearn to fly.
So many questions that we simply choose to ignore.
Because man lives by good intentions alone. No need for food, clothing and homes. The most successful societies are those with the fewest goods and the least amount of services.
Here's your wake up call: material advancement doesn't lead to polarization and violence, envy does.
The most successful societies are those with the fewest goods and the least amount of services.
What? So Uzbekhistan must be the shining light of human society? Haiti is right up there too. What a ridiculous statement. I'm guessing you would be lost without that Starbucks on the corner in which you spend your days.
Your rhetoric may sound appealing, but are you living in an alternate reality? What the fuck are you talking about? What fucking opportunities are you providing these people who actually have signs that read they want jobs. You want to eliminate envy, quit your job and let someone else take it.
I'm self employed so perhaps you'd like me to just put a bullet through my head? No, you're not envious at all.
I don't do what I do because I'm envious. I have a job, and money. I am not out there because I need your help.
But you requested that I quit my job so someone else could have it. So you do want something from me which I would prefer not give up. That's redistributionism plain and simple. It also ignores the fact that gainful employment of one leads to gainful employment for others. When one man increases his productivity more opportunities arise for others, not less.
Per your logic, get more productive and then offer one of those protesters a job. That's what I'm saying. It can't work, because the demand is not there, because people cannot afford the products, because they don't have adequate incomes. It's a cycle that started with diminishing income (corrupt capitalists) / increased costs (inflation).
The question is how will these problems be fixed, by increasing government action or reducing government action? These protesters and their union allies would seem to be firmly in the "let government fix it" camp.
Restore sound money and free markets and the jobs will come. It's no coincidence that as government has become more centralized and powerful and the currency has been degraded that the wealth gap between rich and poor has widened. People need to be free to hire and work and to not have to involuntarily give away half of their income for some nebulous social benefits.
You are here blathering about jobs and shit. That's not working. I'm "retired" so I have an excuse -- what's yours?
Hey Rocky, is that friendly fire or have you gone rabid all of a sudden? Mad raccoon! Mad raccoon!
I gave you a thumbs up only because that was hilarious. I don't agree with you on this, but that was funny. Thanks. :)
First and foremost I live by the motto: "Anything for a laugh." Glad you liked the post.
That's what I'm talkin' about. Consideration has to be made of the deep history and the long future. History did not start with capitalism and it won't end with it either. The thing to remember and reconsider regularly is, what the fuck is the money for. It was meant to signal ones participation in the economy... opportunities and responsibilities existed, and everyone had to do some of the work. We do not live in that world any longer. We do not need to live by those rules, and in fact, as the protests WORLD WIDE reveal, the conditions do not exist any longer.
I am very disappointed so many here have dismissed the protesters and the cause. Putting blinders on will not make the problem go away. It will just make it hard to see who is beating you when the time comes. If that's all you want, I won't bother trying to help you.
Thanks Bartanist for some sanity and clarity.
well said both. This is definitely a profound historical moment as we see an economic "system," an empire and a global trade arrangement collapse from both corruption and self destructive planning for resource constriction and debt. "Austerity" is coming whether we want it or admit it or not. It will evaporate a lot of fictional "wealth" and force us to grapple with our priorities, our morality, and our human character. The same self serving forces will try to divide and distract us from the true characters and causes for this disaster.
