Supreme Court Judge Bars Protesters From Zucotti Park, Denies Restraining Order
Not quite the outcome expected by the shower-impaired crowd:
- OCCUPY WALL STREET' PROTESTERS BARRED FROM PARK, JUDGE RULES
- OCCUPY WALL STREET' PROTESTERS RESTRAINING ORDER DENIED
- NEW YORK JUDGE RULES AFTER POLICE FORCIBLY REMOVED PROTESTERS
So... now what?

so, is the end of economic growth foretelling the end of democracy? samplocracy.wordpress.com
OWS is all part of the NWO. Many of these people are nothing but a bunch of unemployed pot smoking,acid tripping hippies stuck in the 60's with no life. They are hired troublemakers of the democratic party. It is classic NWO propaganda designed to pit the people against the government. Eventually the police will get tired of these losers and the night sticks and tear gas will come out. The news media will then latch on and start reporting stories of police brutality and the whole circus act will begin to snowball further. The NWO just tunes in to the news then sits back and laughs saying to themselves, "look at all of these fools distracted from the truth, we have really done an excellent job with conquering and dividing all of these freaks. By the way how much fiat was issued today?"
Right on Latizz - u get it.
You have shit for brains grasshopper. All revolutions begin peacefully. You must have patience.
My first comment was incomplete and rude as a result. I apologize.
What I should have completed it with is this;
Only those that are the first willing to use peaceful means to achieve their goals actually begin a revolution. They are the first to lay their bodies or lives on the line, first to be butchered, and the first to inspire those that will follow in their place when critical mass is reached, whether they be dead or still in the fight.
They are the first heroes, and no one can take anything from them, regardless of how you feel. Beyond that, the rest of what you said is shit.
Wow. Some of these comments, are amoung the most 'douchey' I've seen on the subject of OWS. Generally, I find the comments section really insightful; this thread has just delivered the juxtapose...
The supreme court of NY is the lowest level of the court system, was this an overrule of the original order by the next higher court, or did Bloomie just go shopping to find someone that would take his bribe?

Money has been privatised by stealth
The greatest privatisation in history has gone unnoticed. It's time to take from the banks the power to produce money

"It's common knowledge that printing your own £10 notes at home is frowned upon by Her Majesty's police. Yet there's a small collection of companies that are authorised to create – and spend – more new money than the counterfeiters have ever been able to print. In industry jargon, these companies are called "monetary and financial institutions", but you probably know them by their street name: "banks".
The money that they create, effectively out of nothing, isn't the paper money that bears the logo of the government-owned Bank of England. It's the electronic money that flashes up on the screen when you check your balance at an ATM. Right now, this electronic money makes up over 97% of all the money in the economy. Only 3% of money is still in that old-fashioned form of real cash that can be touched.
Hard to believe, isn't it? Martin Wolf, one of the experts who sat on the independent commission on banking, put it bluntly, saying in the Financial Times that "the essence of the contemporary monetary system was the creation of money, out of nothing, by private banks' often foolish lending".
Here's how it works. When you ask the bank for the money to buy a one-bedroom box in London, the money that appears in your account isn't borrowed from some prudent grandmother's life savings. In fact, the bank simply types those numbers into your account, creating brand new money that you can now spend. As other banks do exactly the same, the amount of money in the economy grows and grows. Every new mortgage creates new money, which pushes up house prices just a little more and forces the next buyer to borrow even more from the banks. (A more detailed and fully-referenced explanation of this process is given in the book Where Does Money Come From? published by the New Economics Foundation.)
Through this process of creating money, banks have been able to inflate the money supply at a rate of 11.5% a year, pushing up the prices of houses and pricing out an entire generation.
Of course, the flipside to this creation of money is that with every new loan comes a new debt. This is the source of our mountain of personal debt – not money that had been prudently saved up by pensioners, but money that was created out of nothing by banks and lent to anyone and everyone. Eventually the debt burden becomes just too high, and we see the wave of defaults that triggered the start of the ongoing financial crisis.
But how did something as important as money become privatised? How did the power to create money fall into the hands of the same banks who caused the crisis, with such devastating consequences for millions of ordinary people?
Incredibly, the law that makes it illegal to print your own tenners at home has never been updated to apply to the electronic money that is now created by banks. As we began to use electronic money to make the vast majority of payments, cash became less important and the power to create money shifted to the banks that caused the crisis. Without anyone noticing, the power to create money was privatised by stealth.
So while criminal gangs manage to create about £2.5bn of fake cash each year, the banks collectively create more than £100bn a year without breaking a single law. Their reward for doing so is the interest that is currently being collected on nearly every pound in existence. The cost to the rest of us is a lifetime in debt.

That's more than 140 characters.
Good, now let's hope they learn how to pull the trigger of some type of fire arm.. and stand up for their rights. LULZ!
40 - 50 Years of Talking got us here today!
But Protesting, Camping and Consensus Building Among Talking Talkers was and / or is going to fix anything?
Wake me when the fighting starts.
SEE DIVIDE AND CONQUER DOES WORK!
Koch Bro's got all jiggy wiff da tea faggers..
and the Liber-nazi's got all P.C. on the Occupy Wall Street Gang of Hippy's!
But ya know I haven't seen any PIGS fuck with Occupy Phoenix and in Baltimore the Police Union is smart enough to know their retirement funds drop $300+ Million in 3 months and $1.2 Billion on the year.
The funny part of it all is when you talk to most PIGS and ask them about the market going down and them losing hundreds of millions in cold hard cash (we won't discuss the printing Open Market Operations).. they all say the same thing.. DUUUHHHHHHHHH, which way did he go George which way did he go.
I think that some of these dumb fuck PIGs could walk into a Bank that had just been robbed.. and someone could tell them that the market was down.. that's why how the $1.2 Billion walked out of the Bank.. it evaporated because of the dumb money sentiment. LULZ!!
physical money evaporates from stocks all day every day..
Magic Even!

Awesome.
CBC in Canada says the public is "growing impatient" with the protesters.
Imagine a major radio/tv station saying the public is growing impatient with democracy.
They say you/we have had enough protest time.
Democracy protest have time limits and location designations now....don'tcha know.
Fucking FuckTards.....
OWS......go crew go...!!!!
Fuck you too doomandbloom fuckFace....FuckTard.
*Cue countless "they smell and don't have job" jokes.*
There will be no revolution. Huxley was right Orwell was wrong. Dumbmasses will be distracted by Christmas shopping and the Chinese slave elves will be busy making cheaper and cheaper plastic junk that even the Gammas can afford.
I hope I go to Hell. So I can spend eternity helping Satan torture the evil greedy moron orcs that make up the 99%.
I'll never forget seeing a cheesy Santa figurine, with all the little Chinese fingerprints in the surface of the modeling clay. Gave me the shivers. Kids or prisoners?
You mean to tell me I won't be able to find a job with my "Transgender minority studies" degree? FUCK YOU, PAY ME WHAT I'M OWED (6-figure salary).
how much you gettin' paid for your non-sense sock puppet?
divide and rule, you're on "their" side. . . maybe get yourself a titty avatar.
"Occupy" means invade and control.
Nazis invaded and occupied Poland, France, Italy, etc. They controlled Poland, France, Italy, etc.
America invaded and occupied Iraq. America controls Iraq.
"#OccupyWallStreet" isn't occupying and controlling anywhere nor anything.
It should be "#ProtestWallStreet" because it's merely protest. Obedient little sheep following police orders, not even shooting back when police shoot and kill one of them.
And you pseudo-patriot GW types out there think #OWS is the beginning of America being saved / restored / whatever? You're double delusional.
Armed revolution where bullets are flying is the ONLY thing that would save America. But it won't happen. Not in today's lazy self-absorbed American society where 70%+ are on government's side wanting to preserve the current system.
America won't be saved. Save yourself instead.
Why cant people see this? If it was a good system then yeah 70% of people would support it without being dependant on it. If I hear one more MSM barbie or ken write a blog post "51% of americans do pay taxes, they pay the payroll and sales tax" I am going to puke. The payroll tax is a ponzi scheme. The sales and property taxes pay for your local/state resources.
If every single american above the poverty line paid atleast some tax to the federal government, people would hold them accountable. Dodd, Mozillo, Paulson would be in Jail right now because 51% would have the right to call them out on their bullshit. Fair taxation is going to be the only way to avoid the violence and save the country.
If every single american above the poverty line paid atleast some tax to the federal government, people would hold them accountable.
Bullshit.
The sales taxes are state-level, so they don't count. But the payroll taxes are real taxes. If there's money your employer claims to pay you that you never get because the government is involved, that's called a TAX.
I think you've got a point here, but the emphasis is so fuckin' wrong. The post I'm replying to sounds like some kind of demand to tax the poorest people because it'll "fix" what's wrong with government by forcing them to participate. I think the idea is that the people living in the worst neighborhoods with jobs like waitstaff and register-monkey will be motivated to start to participate in the political process and that'll help.
Really?
The point is to start cutting off the checks. It doesn't make much sense to add to the complexity of a retiree's tax rate. There are millions of Americans whose entire existence is funded through government transfer payments.
MOST of them are old or somehow severely fucked up.
What's the fix?
I am saying that complexity needs to be eliminated. You are saying cutting off the checks. we are ships in the night.
The fix is eliminating all the "hidden" taxes, one of which you mentioned (although I still dont agree that it is a tax. it is a transfer/ponzi scheme)
And yes. If millions of poor old fucked up people like me are forced to pay taxes, then we wont feel so compelled to lick the hand that force feeds us.
So what now you ask? Back to their parents basement, what else:)
And a shower and disinfectent.
