IT’S A NEW YEAR – AND THE YEAR IS 1984

Greetings from Calico Blackie!

This was taken at the very start of the storm. Pretty at first. Bearable. Kinda like giving up a few of our rights at a time. Bearable for awhile.

We had a really bad storm come through the Klamath River Country and we lost power for 102 hours and lost phone service for about 40 more hours.

We got beat up pretty bad, but we were ready for it. Extra fuel. Extra batteries. Non-perishable food.

A woodstove with plenty of wood.

Yet, it  was rough. Big trees down everywhere blocking roads. It’s still a mess and will be for awhile.

If this had happened almost anywhere else in the Country, it would have been declared a disaster area.

Power lines down across roads and houses. Just a mess.

When I told a “city boy” we’d lost everything in our freezer because of the power outage, he actually said: “Why didn’t you just put all that food outside?” Yeah, right. Well thought out. Kinda like saying: “The police will protect us”

It’s a creepy feeling laying in bed at night in the pitch dark listening to branches and big trees snap and fall all around the neighborhood and lay there wondering if that huge tree is going to fall and crush you to death in your bed.

Hell, we still can’t get out of our driveway, even with four wheel drive. I guess if there were any homeless people camped along the creeks and rivers up here, they’re all dead now. Does anybody care?

Anyway, while we were out of contact with the rest of the world, a lot has been going on.

They’re still arguing about the 2nd Amendment, but it’s clear to me that the propaganda machine has done it’s job well and our government will soon have even more control over you & me.

But, it’s for our SAFETY!

Speaking about the 2nd Amendment fight and safety…..

Has anyone been following this story?

Journalists’ Addresses Posted In Revenge For Newspaper’s Google Map Of Gun Permit Owners

I tried to tell you

A week after the Newtown massacre, The Journal News published an interactive Google Map with the names and addresses of gun permit owners in select New York cities.

The bold move has escalated into a transparency arms race, after a Connecticut lawyer posted the phone number and addresses of the Journal‘s staff, including a Google Maps satellite Image of the Publisher’s home.

“I don’t know whether the Journal’s publisher Janet Hasson is a permit holder herself, but here’s how to find her to ask,” read Christopher Fountain’s blog post.

The double irony here is that open data was heralded as a tool of enlightened civic dialog, and has been co-opted for fierce partisanship, bordering on public endangerment.

I read a comment which stated:

“Gun owners make me sick. They think their gun is more important than the safety of my children.”

Yeah, well…..

Get stuffed.

When your children are dying in factories and living in an Orwellian “right to work” world with no means in which to fight their oppression, let me hear you talk your hysterical crap then.

A further comment stated:

“The Constitution was written by a bunch of old men 250 years ago and doesn’t even apply to us anymore.”

The propagandists have done their job well.

Oh, here’s an item you won’t see on the nationwide news:

Man Attempts to Open Fire on Crowd at Movie Theater, Armed Off-Duty Sheriff’s Deputy Drops Him With One Bullet

How do you propose we fight the police state if we’re all disarmed? By getting arrested and sent to work in the prison industrial complex? Yep. That will get their attention!

With one shot, an off-duty sheriff’s deputy took down a gunman who attempted to opened fire at a crowded movie theater lobby during a late night showing of “The Hobbit” in San Antonio, WOAI reports.

Police say a gunman, chased patrons from the nearby China Garden Restaurant into the lobby of the Santikos Mayan 14 movie theater at around 9 p.m. on Sunday.

Garcia, an employee of the restaurant, reportedly walked in the establishment looking for a woman.

When the woman, also reportedly a restaurant employee, wasn’t there, Garcia pulled out a gun and attempted to open fire in the restaurant but his weapon jammed.

“It started at the restaurant and then went into the parking lot and then into the movie theater,” Deputy Lou Antu told 1200 WOAI news.

The commotion sent horrified restaurant patrons into the movie theater lobby, but the gunman followed. He again attempted to open fire, and this time his gun didn’t jam. Garcia reportedly shot one man in the chest before Antu says an off-duty sheriff’s deputy working security the theater shot him once, dropping him to the floor.

Calico Blackie says:

Well, when you become a “victim” with no means of defense, don’t worry. He’ll be happy to find you & your wife’s bodies and fill out a report!

Draw your own conclusions from the above news story.

It doesn’t matter anymore. How can one argue with hysteria? The other day, I read the remarks of a person who is all for a total ban on ALL firearms. She said:

“The cops in Alaska carry Glocks. Those things can put down a POLAR BEAR! Why would anybody want one?”

Heh.

Here’s someone who obviously doesn’t know a single thing about firearms and yet she’s spouting off as if she was an expert on the subject.

The worst part is, the choir she’s preaching to are all in agreement, nodding their heads and uttering exclamations of dismay.

Nobody bothers to question that type of logic.

Maybe it’s not worth it…….

Fuck it….

1984, here we come. Don’t say I didn’t tell you so. Here is your future, America:

Samsung Chip Factory Causes Cancer, South Korea Government Finds

South Korean striking workers getting roughed up by riot police because they have a “right to work”

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean government agency said Friday that working at a Samsung Electronics factory caused the breast cancer of a worker who died earlier this year, only the second time it has recognized a link between cancer and Samsung’s chip plants.

The Korea Workers’ Compensation and Welfare Service, which is part of the labor ministry, ruled earlier this month that there was a “considerable causal relationship” between the woman’s cancer and her five years of work at a semiconductor plant near Seoul. The ruling didn’t become public until Friday when the agency announced compensation for the woman’s family.

Samsung spokesman James Chung said it will not appeal the government’s decision. The company is the world’s largest maker of computer memory chips.

There have been very few cases in South Korea in which a link between working conditions and cancer has been convincingly demonstrated. Nearly 30 South Koreans have filed claims with the agency that working at Samsung caused rare forms of disease, cancer, multiple sclerosis and brain tumors.

Calico Blackie says:

They have a “right to work” in Nogales too. Just think, “they actually WANT those jobs.” NO THEY DON’T. THEY’RE FORCED BY ECONOMICS TO WORK THEM. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT HERE TOO?

I can hear it now……….

“What the hell. They’re a “Right to Work” COUNTRY!”

“What did they expect? A right to a safe work environment too? They’re lucky to have jobs at all! Fuck ‘em.”

This is the type of mentality that is killing our country too.

The mainstream media picks up and publishes whatever they want you to know.

They convince a few, and keep harping on a topic until the masses are swayed in their direction.

Are you in favor of “right to work”?

That being said…..

I wonder how many of you will willingly and gleefully rat out your gun owning neighbors to the police if a gun ban is instituted?

Is this the future you want for your children and their children?

You might even get a pat on the head and a reward for keeping your neighborhood SAFE!

Yeah, YOU! The very same person who will whine about the police state, and then turn in a friend.

DON’T BE A GOD-DAMNED DUPE! Think for yourself.

FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM

OCCUPY YOUR OWN MIND!

IT’S A NEW YEAR – AND THE YEAR IS 1984….

And we’re bringing it on ourselves.

SHUCK & JIVE LIKE DOGS AT THE CONFESSIONAL

by Calico Blackie on October 25, 2012 at 11:32 am
Posted In: A Dose Of Reality, Big Brother


 

Greetings from Calico Blackie!

Tools of the confession trade

Another cold “woodstove morning” here on the Klamath River and our warm weather is a distant memory. The leaves are all shades of red and yellow and are falling like snow everywhere you look.

Election fever is gripping the area with most of the people around here responding to my question of “Who do you think will get elected come November” with a resounding “Who cares?”

It’s kind of sad that our views have boiled down to a “who cares” type of attitude, and yet I can understand it.

People feel powerless, cast adrift without a life preserver on their own by a government that couldn’t give a damn about them. So why should they care about our leaders?

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer and what’s left of the ever-shrinking middle class pays for it all.

Would you buy a used car from this man? Yet, millions still listen to him.

Our politicians and public figures say anything, no matter how absurd or crazy, and when they’re called on it, they offer up a half baked and insincere apology and we accept it as “business as usual.”

CROOKED BUSINESS AS USUAL, but business just the same.

The public figures/politicians apology reminds me of a confessional used by a Mafia don who orders a killing one day, attends the victims funeral the next, and then goes to confession to cleanse himself of the sin.

If the don wasn’t afraid of Hell, he wouldn’t confess the sin. In the same way, if public figures and politicians weren’t afraid of losing votes or listeners, they would NEVER apologize.

Try this on for size……

McCain Accepts Mourdock’s Apology

“Today we test the myth that a politician can issue a sincere apology”

An aide for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said Thursday he hadn’t seen Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock’s press conference when McCain told CNN that Mourdock had to apologize for his statement about rape, conception and God’s will in order to keep McCain’s endorsement. 

“Senator McCain was traveling yesterday in Florida and did not have an opportunity to see Mr. Mourdock’s full press conference before he taped his CNN interview,” McCain spokesperson Brian Rogers said. “Senator McCain is glad that Mr. Mourdock apologized to the people of Indiana and clarified his previous statement. Senator McCain hopes the people of Indiana will elect Mr. Mourdock to the U.S. Senate.”

At his Wednesday press conference, Mourdock stood by his words and accused his opponents of “twisting” them. He said he was sorry if people had misinterpreted them the wrong way. 

Link is here:   http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/mccain-accepts-mourdocks-apology

Calico Blackie says:

What bullshit. John McCain accepted his apology like a priest accepts the apology/confession of a mafia don. First, it wasn’t an apology and second, you know damn well Mourdock meant what he said and still does mean it. Do we accept his apology?

HE DOESN’T GIVE A DAMN, as long as we forget about it and vote for him.

Then, there’s this…..

It’s like a viewing of “Politicians Gone Wild”!

Palin accuses Obama of ‘shuck and jive shtick’

How many times will she do this before NO-ONE takes her seriously anymore?

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin released a statement on her facebook page accusing President Obama of engaging in “shuck and jive shtick” regarding last month’s attack in Benghazi, Libya.

“Why the lies? Why the cover up? Why the dissembling about the cause of the murder of our ambassador on the anniversary of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil? We deserve answers to this. President Obama’s shuck and jive shtick with these Benghazi lies must end,” Palin wrote.

For those who aren’t familiar with the phrase, “shuck and jive” is a racially tinged expression. According to the user-submitted Urban Dictionary, the term “originally referred to the intentionally misleading words and actions that African-Americans would employ in order to deceive racist Euro-Americans in power, both during the period of slavery and afterwards.”

Calico Blackie says:

Shuck and jive? I’m speechless!

And, just when you thought it was beginning to be safe to get thrown back in the water without a life preserver………..

Obama moves to make the War on Terror permanent

Support your local….Ah, er, um…..

Complete with a newly coined, creepy Orwellian euphemism – ‘disposition matrix’ – the administration institutionalizes the most extremist powers a government can claim

A primary reason for opposing the acquisition of abusive powers and civil liberties erosions is that they virtually always become permanent, vested not only in current leaders one may love and trust but also future officials who seem more menacing and less benign.

The Washington Post has a story this morning by Greg Miller about the concerted efforts by the Obama administration to fully institutionalize – to make officially permanent – the most extremist powers it has exercised in the name of the war on terror.

It’s here. It’s now

Based on interviews with “current and former officials from the White House and the Pentagon, as well as intelligence and counterterrorism agencies”, Miller reports that as “the United States’ conventional wars are winding down”, the Obama administration “expects to continue adding names to kill or capture lists for years”.

Specifically, “among senior Obama administration officials, there is broad consensus that such operations are likely to be extended at least another decade.” As Miller puts it: “That timeline suggests that the United States has reached only the midpoint of what was once known as the global war on terrorism.”

In pursuit of this goal, “White House counterterrorism adviser John O Brennan is seeking to codify the administration’s approach to generating capture/kill lists, part of a broader effort to guide future administrations through the counterterrorism processes that Obama has embraced.”

DON’T LET IT HAPPEN

All of this, writes Miller, demonstrates “the extent to which Obama has institutionalized the highly classified practice of targeted killing, transforming ad-hoc elements into a counterterrorism infrastructure capable of sustaining a seemingly permanent war.”

But, hey……

There’s an election coming and it seems as if our “choices” this time have narrowed down to a pick between “Hitler lite” or “Stalin lite” and by god…..

They’re sure acting like they care!

Here’s a good one:

Boomer women — courted by candidates — struggle in recession’s wake

Marilyn Monroe was the last and only “Boomer” woman a politician ever cared about. Why? Because he was screwing her!

Meet Patti Di Pino, 56. She’s single, she’s unemployed and she lives in an RV. She’s one of the many women voters being courted by President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney in the waning days of the presidential election campaign.

If she’s being courted, she’s wondering: Where are the flowers and chocolates?

“I listened to the speeches by the candidates for president and I hear them talking about college kids, finding jobs for them and helping them with their student loans and such,” Di Pino told NBC News in a recent interview. “I hear them talking about helping vets get jobs. Not once have I heard about helping baby boomers getting jobs.”

A generation of women who flooded the paid labor force in the 1970s has spent the past four decades overcoming a host of obstacles to win its fair share of the American economic pie.

Link is here:  http://economywatch.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10/25/14650419-boomer-women-courted-by-candidates-struggle-in-recessions-wake?lite

Calico Blackie says:

Hey Baby…. Vote for me….. I REALLY care about you!

Did you notice how the article title says: “struggle in recession’s wake”?  What wake?

It’s a sly way to say “happy days are here again” for most, except for a very few.

For all but the 1%, we’re still in a recession.

And, as far as the women being “courted” by the candidates……

This reminds me of the times I’ve seen a pack of male dogs following a female dog and all of those male dogs had the same goal in mind. Then, after the election, they don’t give a damn about you!

Respect you in the morning after the November erection? Hell, they don’t “respect” you now!

Ah well….

Did you hear this?………….

Colin Powell Endorses Obama For President

The redneck nightmare. You just know that somewhere someone is saying “Of course. The black guy endorses the black guy”. I’ll bet Mourdock is thinking it.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell endorsed President Barack Obama for a second term Thursday.

“You know, I voted for him in 2008 and I plan to stick with him in 2012, and I’ll be voting for he and Vice President Joe Biden next month,” he said on CBS’ “This Morning.”

Asked whether it was an endorsement, he said, “Yes.”

Powell praised the president’s handling of the economy and ending of the Iraq War.

“I think we ought to keep on the track we are on,” he said.

Powell said he had the “utmost respect” for Mitt Romney but criticized his tax plan.

He said Romney’s foreign policy was a “moving target.” “One day he has a certain strong view about staying in Afghanistan, but then on Monday night he agrees with the withdrawal. Same thing in Iraq.

Time to open the box and see what comes out?

Calico Blackie says:

You know….

More “shuck and jive”!

That’s just slang for “BULLSHIT.” And that’s all we have to look forward to if we don’t start doing something about it.

Start today

Start NOW

PERHAPS IT’S TIME

Greetings from Calico Blackie!

Not my cat. This is Naomi Watts at Cannes

The past weekend was very eventful here in rural America as it was throughout the country.

A mountain lion killed my cat and other various animals throughout the area, and a Federal Tracker came and killed the mountain lion.

Just as the dust was settling and what was left of my cat was buried, another mountain lion was sighted and killed.

Around the country, a horse named “Zuckerberg” won the Preakness Stakes, and some rich guy named “I’ll Have Another” sold a lot of stock and got married.

Not protesting anymore. This is Hanoi Jane Fonda being rich at Cannes while we were protesting

Another once-popular singer died, and the usual crew of female celebrities paraded their tits and asses at the Cannes Film Festival, while their male counterparts pranced and preened for the cameras.

The cost of their suits and gowns alone could have bailed out the Greek economy, but who cares?

They had fun and allowed us “little people” to look at them.

Even Jane Fonda was there. No doubt she was there protesting the fact that we’re oppressing her by not bothering to consider her relevant anymore.

Four “adventurers” died after reaching the summit of Mt. Everest and the woman fighting the flesh eating bacteria is still fighting the flesh eating bacteria.

These stories are important if you’re the person whose life is directly affected by the events, but put it in perspective…..

Who really gives a shit?

All IMPORTANT news stories, hand picked to entertain and amuse, but not to inform us.

Very few protesters showed up in Chicago yesterday

If the news media chose to really keep us informed on matters that could affect us all in a big way, maybe we wouldn’t be such a mass of willing enablers to what is going on in the world today.

Speaking of ignored news stories, there was this little thing going on in Chicago this past weekend, but it was overshadowed by those other “important” stories in the mainstream media.

I read a comment today on a popular website where a person said “they only managed to have at most, 3500 protesters out there in Chicago, so it was a failure.”

Yep.

At most, 3,500 protesters.

Trying to educate the ignorant is like giving medicine to a dead man.

The 1% won’t listen or care and they’ve got too many people bamboozled. I’m beginning to believe that we’ll never have change through peaceful means.

"Here's some medicine, dead man"

The few articles that did appear (mostly in local media sources) regarding the Chicago NATO protests mostly were singing the praises of the Chicago Police Department and completely ignored what people were protesting for in the first place.

And the comments after each article?

Oooh la la!

Obviously, some of the commenters “majored in something useful” and never took a reading comprehension course.

They also never learned to think for themselves.

Here’s my favorite (printed exactly as it was written):

“For all you, degenerates, that complain about the freedom in the US and trying to compare Europe and the US, here is what I think of you.”

“The first prove of the freedom in this country is that you are allowed to spew your miserable Commie propaganda here with no consequences. And that’s great. Freedom is for all, even you. And what do you know about not being free. Have you tried to live in a different country?”

Police in the Soviet Union crushing free speech. Oh, wait a minute...This is Chicago

“You were spoiled by what you’ve got here, with no appreciation to it. And if any of you would like to question my credentials or expertise on freedom, let me stop you right now… I was born and spent 30 years of my life in Soviet Union.”

“I know what freedom, or lack of it, means. Unlike you, I have a point of comparison. As far as the US world ranking in this regard, look who makes those rankings. The UN Human Rights commission. The one that at one time or another was presided by Libya, Syria, Cuba, Iran.”

“Are you kidding me? I just wish you can be sent to live in another country for a while just to see how you’d like that. You’d crawl back in no time.”

“I travel a lot for business and pleasure. Every time I come back I figuratively kiss the ground at the airport.”

Police doing crowd control in Chicago yesterday. Oh, wait a minute...These people LOVED their leader and system. Anyone that got in their way was SQUASHED

“So grow up, get out of your mother’s basement and learn to appreciate what we’ve got here, in the US, the land of freedom and opportunity.”

“Or stay sour losers that you are, but don’t get on the way of decent people or you’ll be squashed.”

Calico Blackie says:

Trying to talk reason to this person would be like giving medicine to a dead man.

You can tell people about the evils of the NDAA and censorship laws. You can tell them about how we’re slipping into fascism.

You can even give specific examples and back up your examples with facts and references.

Will people listen?

NO.

People still want to keep their heads in the sand, or play partisan politics.

Fuck ‘em.

Maybe the only way to get their attention is to beat them over their heads with a club.

It’s time people.    It… Is….. Time.

"Yeah. Only a few people showed up in Chicago to protest. You can go back to sleep now"

Too much power in the hands of too few that have been bought off by the rich and powerful and nobody seems to care.

Perhaps it is time before it’s too late????

Have you seen this news story sandwiched between Jane Fonda and Mark Zuckerberg?

From The Salt Lake City Tribune:

DEA wants to scan all license plates on Utah’s ‘drug corridor’

Devices would monitor I-15 in SW Utah, but legislators worry about privacy, reach of feds

“Everyone driving on Interstate 15 in southwest Utah may soon have their license plate scanned by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.”

“The DEA and two sheriffs are asking permission to install stationary license plate scanners on the freeway in Beaver and Washington counties. The primary purpose would be to catch or build cases against drug traffickers, but at a Utah Legislature committee meeting Wednesday, the sheriffs and a DEA representative described how the scanners also could be used to catch kidnappers and violent criminals.”

If you're among the people that say "if you're not breaking the law, you have nothing to worry about".... HERE'S SOME ADVICE FOR YOU

“That, however, wasn’t the concern of skeptical legislators on the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Interim Committee. They were worried about the DEA storing the data for two years and who would be able to access it.”

“It’s not against the law to drive down I-15 from Utah to Nevada to gamble,” said Utah Senate President Michael Waddoups, “but there are a lot of Utahns that would be pretty embarrassed by that.”

“The scanners would capture only the license plate, the GPS coordinates and the direction of travel, Newcomb said. If the DEA or another law enforcement agency has input a license plate number for a car to be stopped immediately, local police would be notified by email or a cell phone text message when that plate crossed the scanner.”

"See, we're GOOD Americans! We're too brainwashed and stupid to try to make things better"

“For long-term investigations, including those tracking people who grow marijuana on public land in Utah, the digital data would be routed through the police dispatch centers in Beaver and Washington counties to a DEA facility in northern Virginia where it would be stored for two years.”

Link is here:   http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54126491-78/scanners-data-utah-dea.html.csp

Calico Blackie says:

So, it’s all about “the war on drugs” and “security”??

There are two reasons why this is happening and neither has anything to do with law enforcement caring even a little bit about you, me, this country or anything else other than making money for their masters.

It is a plan to steal people’s property via asset forfeiture and to enrich the judges and police chiefs when they get their kickbacks from the private jail owners.

It’s a plan to stock the private prison system with a new crop of workers. That’s it, end of story. All of the other stuff they say is just noise to try to hide the truth.

Got a problem? Take it up with them

Law enforcement must be stopped. They are out of control and they are essentially just a private army for the state to collect money and prison workers.

I saw a quote by a VA state trooper, and I quote verbatim:

“We are not police, we are a paramilitary organization employed by the state to enforce the law.”

Oh. When did the whole “serve and protect” thing get thrown out the window? Right around the time that the state realized they could use police as revenue agents.

Viva la revolution!

OR………….

So this is how freedom dies, to the resounding cheers of the morons.

We tried, and we tried, and we tried to help but you were too drunk on kool aide to listen. Oh well.

They’re still at it in Chicago today. Check it out.

IS IT TIME???

Of course, the people who ACTUALLY want to put a stop to this shit are the Occupiers, but who wants to associate with smelly dirty hippies, am I right?

Sheisse, people…………

I just get the feeling that we can take to the streets 365 days a year in the thousands, and the 1% and their stooges still wouldn’t listen.

They don’t care.

PERHAPS IT’S TIME TO MAKE THEM CARE

We’re the LAST CHANCE

Keep the faith, Occupiers

DON’T LET THE BASTARDS GRIND YOU DOWN!

by Calico Blackie on January 12, 2012 at 2:19 pm
Posted In: A Dose Of Reality, Big Brother, Media Bias


 

Greetings to all who seek to preserve freedom!

OCCUPY!

“If you’re obeying the law, you have nothing to worry about.”

If you’re obeying the law by allowing the continued dismantling of our Constitution, you are part of the problem, not the solution. Get the hell out of our way and stop parroting the views of your corporate masters.

In this country, we’re witnessing the absolute end of whatever prosperity we once had and it’s all because of the greed of the very few.

Is this what we want for our future and for the future of our children?

When you stand by and complacently and passively allow our country to be dominated and ruled by the 1%, you are effectively saying “Screw our children. I got mine. They can get theirs too.”

When you sit in your homes while our freedoms are, one by one, being taken away, you’re saying: “Who cares if it all goes to hell? I’ll be dead by the time it gets real bad.”

Acceptance of oppression is like digging your own grave

The warning signs are all there as plain as the nose on your face if you choose to open your eyes.

We need to fight now, before it’s too late. Before ALL of our rights, with the exception of what little non-threatening (to the 1%) rights the corporations will let us keep, are removed.

Before our lifestyles as we now know them are nothing more than a faded memory.

No matter what the corporate media and their willing stooges and sheep among the populace say to us; No matter what their armies of police do to us; No matter what “slings and arrows” they throw at us; We can’t let those bastards grind us down.

Don’t listen to their propaganda machine that refuses to support “We, the People.” We can’t become  discouraged. WE MUST FIGHT!

This was in the news today:

From Aljazeera

Is the American dream fading?

“More than 13 million Americans are unemployed, although there have been some improvements recently. And many others, who have work, have been forced to take pay cuts or a reduction in working hours.”

The new American Dream. Rob from the poor and give to the rich!


“Millions of homeowners have lost their homes to foreclosures, a process whereby banks repossess their properties. And at the same time, the budget cuts at federal and state level are eroding some of the government’s social welfare programs.”

“And a few months ago, the Occupy Wall Street movement began in New York and spread around the world. The protesters’ slogan “We are the 99 per cent” refers to the growing income and wealth inequality in the US between the wealthiest one per cent and the rest of the population.”

Link to full story is here:

http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/insidestoryus2012/2012/01/20121127956610408.html

What did people think of this news? It certainly didn’t tell the “sleeping sheep” what they wanted to hear.

Here are a couple of the comments I read after the article sent in by other readers:

“Even if your considered poor in America. You live pretty good compared to other countries. Free education – Free Food. Much assistance if you want it. Compare that to third world poverty?”

Calico Blackie says:

Free education and free food? Where have they been?

Good citizens watching Hannity on Fox "news"

What will it take for these people to finally wake up? Will it be when we’re all finally reduced to poverty and crushed by the police state we’re creating?

Will they be happy then?

No. They will either be screaming the loudest, or, they will go back to their warm cell after their 16 hour shift and tell people to be happy that they got an extra pork chop in their nightly ration. By then, it will be too late to resist.

They will have let the bastards grind them down, and will not have even realized it. They will be good citizens of the new world order and slaves to the 1%.

The next comment on the article was this:

Hello, Aljazeera? Here's what I've been conditioned to say. Maybe I'll get a cookie from the master for saying it

Exactly! What is “poor” in the US? Is considered poor a family of 4 making less than $24,000. If one member of this family works at minimum wage he/she can bring back some $17,500/year pays 0 taxes on this bracket, all that is needed is that the other 3 members (1 or all) bring an extra $6,500 to lift them from poverty which is fairly easy for those who WANT to! Which brings us to the conclusion: being poor in the US is a choice!

For those in doubt, the American Dream is alive, all you need is to be a dreamer and work toward accomplishing that dream.

If you prefer to be lazy, wait for food stamps and government aid programs then you have chosen to be poor and this is not going to change no matter what.

This land is still the land of opportunity for those who seek opportunities.

Calico Blackie says:

 First, poor is poor, no matter where you live and I sure as hell am not going to have some ignorant goddamned bastard telling me how “good” we have it here when it’s been going to hell for decades.

Can't make the rent? Can't feed your kids? Don't want to go to the workhouse? There is another alternative!

Oh, my God! Is someone paying these people to haunt the comment boards on news websites and spout this propaganda, or have they been living with their heads in the sand?

Either way, these are the people that will be the most disillusioned when it happens to them, and they find themselves ruined. They will be the ones either complacently going to the workhouse, or they will be the ones jumping out the windows of their high-rise apartments.

When you live with your head in the sand, your ass is in the air.

How much longer will it be until it is openly illegal to be homeless? Right now, the homeless are just harassed and ridiculed by the “sleeping sheep” who echo the words of their 1% masters and the mainstream media when they say: “They chose to be poor.”

How much longer until the “final solution” to the problem of poverty and homelessness in America will be to put poor people in prison factories? It’s coming, and right now there are not enough people in this country that can see it coming. They think: “It won’t happen to me.”

Ass in the air.

THIS is what’s happening while your asses are sticking up in the air.

From alternet.org

Should Drug Dogs be Allowed to Sniff Around Outside Your Home? Florida Supreme Court Decides

It's his word against yours! Guess who wins?

“The US Supreme Court said Friday it would decide whether having a drug dog sniff at the door of a private residence violates the Fourth Amendment’s proscription against warrantless searches. The court agreed to hear an appeal from the state of Florida in a case where the Florida Supreme Court ruled that such searches were indeed unconstitutional.”

Calico Blackie says:

That means, if the cops so much as suspect you of anything, they can say that the dog gave a reaction and then search your house legally. What’s the dog going to say if it’s all a lie? What if the cops have the wrong address, or if you’ve done nothing wrong except for having the misfortune of looking like someone who has committed a crime? You’re screwed in your own house, and you or a family member might even get killed.

Then, there’s this story:

From McPaper (USA Today)

In light of police deaths, training is scrutinized

"It's time we change our way of thinking"

“The recent surge in fatal police shootings is weighing heavily on law enforcement trainers, some of whom are calling for a reassessment of high-risk fugitive and drug raids that have resulted in a number of deadly ambushes.”

“It’s time to change our thinking,” says Pat McCarthy, who advises police agencies across the country. “Cops are exposing themselves to increasing danger many times over, and it’s just not necessary.”

Link to story is here:  http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-01-06/police-deaths-training-raids/52488196/1

Calico Blackie says:

So, what is this article really saying?

It’s saying: There’s been a huge rise in the number of civilians killed or wounded by gunfire as a result of quasi-military police raids, which is naturally leading police to question the tactic.

To Protect and Serve?

Why?

Because cops might get hurt too. Not because innocent citizens are getting killed.

War on terror + war on drugs.

At some point we should remember that police are not supposed to be fighting a “war”.

They’re supposed to use force in a way that maintains a civilization, not crushes it.

This is the difference between having a police force and having a police state.

Now, imagine this scenario:

They can say: "THE DOG SMELLED SOMETHING"

It’s dark, someone’s broken down your door and shot your dog, there is no reasonable reason for a police raid on your property, there are no blue and red lights spinning outside and no guy with a bullhorn. 

Now, fast forward two weeks and the police department is mourning the death of at least two officers and quietly apologizing to your widow for (transposed address numbers on the warrant/bad info from a jailhouse informant/drug dog gave a reaction, bad tip from an angry neighbor, mumble, mumble).

You can’t fight autopilot, though. More and more ex-military personnel are entering civilian life everyday.

Imagine if this had been the home of a returned combat veteran?

They were trained and conditioned to react a certain way to a certain stimulus.

This will end badly if the local law enforcement agencies continue to play Baghdad.

And it will end badly for all of us if the police continue to be allowed to use such brutal and poorly thought-out tactics.

Serving a warrant on a suspect (remember, that is all anyone about to be arrested is to police) should be taken with the public and suspect’s safety as first priority. This is a person presumed innocent until convicted at trial. Thinking of them as expendable collateral when jumping their house in the night should be the last thing that officers of the law should be doing.

And soon, if the police have their way, a police K-9 will have more rights and more say than you and your family do in this country.

Now, where are we headed? What does the future hold for us? What can we do? Let’s look to the past for solutions. A very dark past, written by a citizen of the former Soviet Union. DON’T LET IT HAPPEN HERE!

Alexander Solzhenitsyn being searched by a guard in the Gulag. If you don't know who he is, read about his life

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur – what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked. The NKVD Secret Police would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

After all, The Supreme Court of the United States has already ruled the cops can roll up to the wrong house, blow your door in, shoot your dogs and grandma and tear your house to shreds without an ounce of liability.

KEEP RESISTING. DON’T LET THE BASTARDS GRIND YOU DOWN!

On that note……

WE'VE GOT TO STOP THE MACHINE!

Keep occupying!

OCCUPY CONGRESS JANUARY 17th

AND:

Don’t forget about Officer Pike of the UC Davis PD. Let’s never forget how he and other police officers have treated peaceful protesters.  He should be arrested and tried for assaulting the public.

THEY DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU

by Calico Blackie on January 9, 2012 at 12:57 pm
Posted In: A Dose Of Reality, Big Brother, Media Bias


 

Greetings, fellow Activists!

No matter how you dress it up, it's still the same

Well, here we are. Another day older and deeper in debt.

Once again we’re having to dive into the cesspool of candidates to see what “little nuggets” of hope and wisdom might be there for us.

As usual, out of touch rich people are telling us what their vision of the future holds for “we, the people” as we sink further and further down the tubes. The only thing we know for certain? At the New Hampshire Primary,

They don’t give a damn about you.

How about this story?

From The Associated Press

GOP candidates wade into food stamp debate

He looks undernourished. Someone give him a STAKE!

“Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and fellow contender Rick Santorum, both heavily involved in congressional welfare reform efforts in the mid-1990s, say the government should stop promoting a welfare-like state and convert food stamp spending to block grants to states, a move that could freeze spending and cut the benefit to many who now receive it.”

“A spokesperson for Republican Mitt Romney says the former Massachusetts governor also supports turning the nation’s food stamp program into state block grants, though he rarely mentions it.”

Calico Blackie says:

They don’t give a damn about you. It’s the usual “Get the Archie Bunker-types to support us by attacking the poor that need assistance.” “See those poor people? They’re costing YOU your tax dollars!” What a complete bunch of assholes.

Blaming people that are suffering is pathetic.

From ABC News

Wall Street Bonuses May Reach Lowest Level in 3 Years

Oh, those poor bankers. And to think they might not even be able to get FOOD STAMPS if Newt has his way!

 “Wall Street banks will announce their annual compensation and bonuses starting this month, and forecasts are generally expecting cutbacks across the board though the rewards will still be rich at least by non-1 percenter standards. Employees of the biggest Wall Street banks could see compensation sink 27 to 30 percent from a year ago to the lowest level since the 2008 financial crisis.”

“Bonuses grew larger and became more prevalent across industries during last bonus season. Median total bonus payouts for S&P 500 CEOs increased to $2,150,000 in 2010, up 43.3 percent from the 2009 median of $1,500,000.”

 “Whether it’s $180 or billion or $150 billion, there are billions of dollars going to executives who crashed the economy,” Tracy Van Slyke, co-director of The New Bottom Line, said,” when instead they should be reducing the principal for all underwater homeowners and paying their fair share of taxes.”

Calico Blackie says:

They don’t give a damn about you. It’s almost as if they’re waving their collective dorks at us all the while saying nyaa-nyaa! We’re supposed to feel sorry for these bastards?

Then, there’s this:

From The Huffington Post

Wall Street Employees Threaten To Quit If Bonuses Aren’t Up To Snuff

Gee, I'll sleep better tonight

“For some on Wall Street, a less-than-stellar bonus is simply too much to bear.”

“Brokerage executives at one Wall Street firm, Jefferies Group, have threatened to leave the company if their bonuses aren’t up to par with other firms.”

“Though some particularly stellar employees may be able to eventually convince their bosses to give them a bigger share of the bonus pie, nervousness surrounding dismal job prospects on Wall Street will likely keep most bankers quiet.”

LET THEM QUIT.

THEY DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU!

Speaking of giving a damn…

Here’s one you won’t see on Fox “news”:

From KCBS and Rawstory.com

Senior citizens shut down Bank of America branch in Calif.

Look at that "entitled rich white kid" protester!

“A group of senior citizen activists calling themselves “Wild Old Women” staged a protest at a San Francisco Bank of America branch this week and succeeded in causing the business to close its doors, albeit temporarily.”

“The Bank of America in Bernal Heights, a district of San Francisco, was confronted by the activists on Thursday afternoon.”

 “The women were ages 69 to 82, and they stood on a sidewalk holding signs that demanded lower fees, higher taxes for the wealthy and a freeze on foreclosures. The bank locked its doors as soon as they arrived.”

QUICK, PEPPER SPRAY THOSE DIRTY HIPPIE PROTESTERS!

“We’re upset about what the banks are doing, particularly in our neighborhood and neighboring areas, in evicting people and foreclosing on their homes,” one of the activists was quoted as saying.”

“We’re upset because the banks are raising their rates because it really affects seniors who are on a fixed income.”

Calico Blackie says:

Bank of America doesn’t give a damn about you.

I’m surprised that the old ladies weren’t pepper-sprayed. What is Bank of America so afraid of that they had to close the bank and lock their doors?

RUN AWAY! THE WILD OLD WOMEN ARE APPROACHING!

WHY WASN’T THIS REPORTED NATIONWIDE?

Oh yeah, it would show the nation and the world that the “occupy” protests are actually comprised of a huge cross-section of citizens who are fed-up with being heartlessly screwed by Wall Street, and not just “vermin infested dirty hippie crybabies.”

Meanwhile, back in the Police State:

Police club young woman riding bike at Oakland protest

“Police officers knocked down and clubbed a young woman during an anti-police march in Oakland late Saturday night, and arrested six people.”

More fun to club? Maybe she screams in pain better than a little old lady?

“Video of the incident uploaded to YouTube showed the young woman riding her bicycle towards a small group of officers.”

“As she approached, officers shoved her to the ground and at least one clubs her with his baton.”

“Protesters quickly rushed to her aid, and dragged her away from police.”

Link is here:  http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/01/08/police-club-young-woman-riding-bike-at-oakland-protest/

Finally, there’s this letter that I read yesterday and I thought I would share it with my readers:

It does taste better than that pesticide sprayed, grown overseas crap they sell in the supermarkets

“Forty years ago some friends of mine decided that we couldn’t trust the government to leave us alone, much less do right by us. We believed in sustainable local integrated organic farming, and clean renewable energy alternatives.”

“Not just because the food tasted better and was better for us, and the air smelled sweeter, but because it freed us from dependence on the roller coaster rise and fall of an artificial economy that served the wealthy at the expense of everyone else.”

 Had people gone along with it, we wouldn’t be having most of the problems we face today. Young men and women wouldn’t have had to die in the Middle East for oil.

Most of the people who criticized this lifestyle were just jealous because they were too old for it


“Then some evilly brilliant asshole corporate stooges called us pathetic, labeled us “Hippies” and created the legend of the cartoon character protester granola crunching tree huggers. This was soon parroted by the ignorant and short sighted.”

Calico Blackie says:

Sound familiar? The same recycled propaganda has been trotted out by the 1% and their lackeys in Congress and the mainstream media in an attempt to discredit the “occupy” movement.

The letter continues with:

Good people just gave up and traded it all in for cocaine and conspicuous consumption. Later, they crushed organized labor, shipped all the manufacturing jobs to the third world, and tanked the economy. The Rich came out crazy stupid richer than ever, and you, my little friend, probably didn’t see a dime of it.
How’s that workin out for ya?

Calico Blackie says:

There will always be sheep that will happily believe everything they’re told to believe. The world is full of ‘em. It’s easier to laugh at, and scorn the people who try to sound the alarm. After all, it’s easier to stay in bed and be asleep a little longer than it is to wake up. Isn’t it?

See? I'm an activist! I'm HARDCORE!

Or, they’ll slap another metallic ribbon on their car, follow moveon.org on Facebook, and call themselves “aware” and “socially conscious.” Those same people will turn you in to the Gestapo if they thought they might get a pat on the head from their masters.

The reality is, they don’t give a damn about you, or your cause.

It just makes them feel better, and if they have one, it eases their conscience. You know them. They go to Wal-Mart, and loudly complain to anybody near them about how the store is selling nothing but cheap imported junk and that it’s a shame that the store is putting Americans out of work. Then, they pay for their items, get their fat asses into their Lexus, and go home to their huge houses.

Screw ‘em. Every last damn one of them.

On that note…..

THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU. OCCUPY THE HELL OUT OF THEM!

”The sun still shines”

Keep occupying!

OCCUPY CONGRESS JANUARY 17th

AND:

Don’t forget about Officer Pike of the UC Davis PD. Let’s never forget how he and other police officers have treated peaceful protesters.  He should be arrested and tried for assaulting the public.

PAPERS PLEASE?

by Calico Blackie on January 8, 2012 at 1:48 pm
Posted In: A Dose Of Reality, Big Brother, Media Bias


 

Greetings to all members of the Resistance!

Sometimes, it feels like a curse

There is something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear. But I do know that it has to be stopped and active resistance is our last and only hope.

I’m not talking about shooting up the streets.

I’m talking about supporting protests around the country and world wherever and whenever an attempt is made by the 1% and their wholly-owned subsidiary in Washington DC to take away the rights of citizens.

I’m talking about speaking up and, if necessary, taking to the streets in protest. MAKE THEM HEAR OUR CONCERNS. So, what is the latest and greatest threat? The concept of a National ID Card. With NDAA now the “law of the land” we can be required to jump through any hoops the authorities may place before us. 

Is it coming down to this?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The penalty for refusing to comply could result in indefinite detention for “violators.”

We’ve all seen the movies where the sinister looking guy in the black trenchcoat approaches a citizen and asks the question: “Papers please?”

It's for your own safety, citizen

We all know that it usually ends poorly for the citizen.

Calico Blackie can envision the day where we will all be required to carry a card that is tied into a National “Security” central database.

If you don’t have the card, you either get nothing, or you get arrested and sent to a camp for “reeducation.”

Society, run by the corporations, will eventually allow the 1% to tighten their ever-increasing grip on we, the people.

The “card” will be used for everything from voting at the polls, to making simple purchases at the grocery store.

The rules change and there isn't anything you can do about it!

Over the years, we’ve been conditioned to accept the “convenience” that our cards have provided us. You can get cash at an ATM machine, and use your card to pay for items at the store, and online. Easy, right?

But there is a much darker side to this “convenience.”

Imagine this future scenario….

You’ve lost your job and had to make sacrifices. Nothing major, yet. But things are a heck of a lot tighter than they used to be.

Due to the corporatization of America, your choices are now limited to going to THE bank, THE store, THE communications company, THE utility company….You get the picture.

This is what they'll tell you

Because times are tight, you’ve put off paying THE utility company for a month so that you can buy food for your family. You go to THE store and get to the checkout lane. The checker totals your items and you swipe your all-in-one card, only to discover that the money you were going to use to buy groceries with has been diverted to THE utility company to cover the amount you owe. NO FOOD FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

You go back home to starve with your hungry family, while the fat cat CEO of THE Utility Company rakes in another huge bonus and raises the rates, thus causing senior citizens to freeze to death in their homes.

Does the above scenario sound far fetched? It’s coming to your town soon!

What’s in the news?

From Global Research

DHS Now Issuing Thousands of New Photo ID’s for ‘Voting Purposes’

“One of the true hallmarks of any successful police state is a compulsory national ID. On this score, Janet Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security has officially taken up challenge of making sure that no American will be left without one. Tennessee provided the launchpad for this new DHS police state project, but like anything with the DHS, it’s hard to actually pinpoint whose banner it is actually run under.”

“The program was quietly ushered in earlier in 2011, as reported today by Tennessee journal Clarksville Online.”:

"Papers please? I'm with The Department of Homeland Security"

“The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security today announced that 9,492 photo IDs had been issued for voting purposes from July 1st through December 31st, 2011.”

“The vast majority (8,989) of those issued were non-photo driver licenses converted into photo driver licenses, while 503 were original photo identification cards.”

“If Tennessee passes another state law making the new ID cards a prerequisite for voting, which the current trajectory of this legislation seems to be aimed towards, then other states could follow suit, making it illegal to cast one’s vote without this new generation DHS Federal ID Card.”

So it begins

“Local liberty organizations around the country should mobilize now, in order to head-off a complete rout by the DHS of our polling and democratic system.”

“Once their system is in place, it will be near impossible to dismantle.”

Link is here:

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=28522

Calico Blackie says:

The “Department of Safety and Homeland Security?” What utter BULLSHIT.

It should be named: “The Department of Beating Down the Citizenry.” But, you don’t care. It would never happen here.

Besides, it’s much more fun to go online to Facebook and compare our likes and dislikes of the latest coffee flavor at Starbucks.

The 1% is counting on it

You poor, stupid, simple bastards.

Do you really think that Wall Street and Washington DC cares what you think as long as we remain subservient and complacent?

Just look at the choices we are going to have in the coming election. We’re going to have to hold our noses when we go to the polls.

THEY DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU.

Have you seen this story in the news?

From CBS

N.J. homeless find refuge in the woods

“Angelo Villanueva was working as a mason until the housing market collapsed.

“I lost my job, lost my insurance, lost my car, lost my apartment,” he said. For nine months, he’s been living in the woods near Lakewood, New Jersey, where we first met him last fall.  “I never thought I’d be homeless,” he said. “I used to think homeless people were bums, but actually it can happen to anyone at any time.”

This could be YOU. Are you prepared?

 “Minister Steven Brigham founded Tent City five years ago when he learned there were no homeless shelters in Ocean County.”

“We’ll probably have about twice as many people going into this winter as we did last winter,” he said.  About 80 people live here.”

“It’s a living demonstration of what the economy is doing to people. These have no other safety net to fall back on, so they are falling into Tent City,” said Brigham.”

“Lakewood’s Deputy Mayor Steven Langert says the residents are squatters. He wants them evicted.

The deputy mayor. Screw him. OCCUPY HIS YARD!

On Friday, Judge Joseph Foster denied Lakewood’s request to disband the camp.

“There is a governmental responsibility here to care for the poor at some level,” he said. He ordered mediation to decide how that responsibility might be met.”

Link is here:  http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57354520/n.j-homeless-find-refuge-in-the-woods/?tag=stack

There was also this about the tent city:

New Jersey’s Swelling Tent City

Minister Brigham knows firsthand the travails of living hand to mouth, as he resides in a converted school bus parked on the premises.

Helping his fellow occupants became, quite literally, a matter of life and death.

The Minister at the camp. The deputy mayor and his 1% handlers say: HOW DARE HE GIVE THOSE PEOPLE HOPE!

“Before setting up this camp, one local man died from pneumonia after living on the streets, while another froze to death in his car,” Brigham told AFP.

“We haven’t requested a penny of government money,” Brigham explained.”

“But that hasn’t stopped legislators from trying to kick us out. Last year, we gathered together some wood and built 30 shanties that people could live in rather than tents.”

“But the township council made us tear down every one of them.”

HOW DARE HE TRY TO HELP THEM!

 The results were devastating. Brigham continued:

“Last winter we suffered through a 30-inch snowfall that dismantled every tent. Imagine being kicked out of a 12-foot-by-12-foot shanty smaller than most people’s backyard shed. Then the snow came and destroyed our tents.”

Link is here:  http://americanfreepress.net/?p=769

Calico Blackie says:

The Minister and the people living at that camp are not asking for assistance.

They’re not asking for a goddamned penny from you fat bastard heartless slobs that say “Why should we help those losers?” “They should help themselves.”

THEY ARE HELPING THEMSELVES AND THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO EVICT THEM.

I'll bet the citizens of this community are a whole lot more caring toward their neighbors than you and your neighbors will ever be towards each other

See where it gets you if you are poor and try to help yourself in this country?

“Losers,” Dirty Hippies,” “Bums,” “Scum,” and “Vermin.”

That’s what the 1% thinks of you, and that’s what most of your Starbucks-addled fellow citizens think of you because they’ve been conditioned to think of homeless people as sub-human.

Meanwhile, on the “Occupy” Front:

From KTVU Oakland

Anti-police protesters take to streets of Oakland

 More than 50 Oakland police officers stood guard outside headquarters as roughly 100 people protested the authorities.

Leave peaceful protesters alone!

Protesters were asked via Twitter to come to Frank Ogawa Plaza Saturday night, dress in all black and march to Oakland police headquarters. The march was expected to begin at 8 p.m., but the hundreds of protesters gathered at the corner of 14th and Broadway for an hour before they marched at 9 p.m.

Demonstrators held signs that read, “Stop the police,” and “Native Americans United.”

A few people were arrested during the demonstration, but the exact number was unavailable Saturday night.

Calico Blackie says:

Once again, we see skillful editing of a story in the hopes that the reader will only skim the headline and read the first sentence of the article before moving on to the next story. “Roughly 100 protesters” turned into “Hundreds of protesters” later on in the article.

I saw the live feed from that event, broadcast by @punkboyinsf on twitter.

There were SEVERAL HUNDRED protesters there!

From Occupy Los Angeles

“People’s Collective University at Occupy LA
PRESENTS: CLASSES FOR THE 99% – EDUCATION IS A HUMAN RIGHT!”

I”N THE MOOD FOR LIBERATING EDUCATION? MEETING PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW?”

Date: Sunday 1/8
Location: 118 Winston St., LA 90013
(a gallery space about 4 blocks from LA CITY HALL down Main St. between 4th and 5th St.)

In other words, 1% and your lapdogs in Washington….WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY!

On that note……

Let's do it!

OCCUPY CONGRESS JANUARY 17th

Don’t forget about Officer Pike of the UC Davis PD. Let’s never forget how he and other police officers have treated peaceful protesters.  He should be arrested and tried for assaulting the public.

Greetings!

Here we go again…..There’s something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear.

Boston Police getting ready to attack the peaceful protest last night

POLICE RAID “OCCUPY” PROTESTS ACROSS THE NATION

I’m hearing scattered reports from other cities, but nothing confirmed.

So far I have solid reports on Boston, Seattle, Atlanta, Dallas and St. Louis.

That’s quite a batch of police raids on various protesters from around the nation.

All raids hit late at night, off camera and while most of the country was asleep. 

Mass arrests. Cities coordinating their raids with other cities. A major crackdown on the citizenry.

This is the biggest crack down on protesters in over 30 years.

I don’t care if you’re left wing, right wing, Republican or Democrat – this was a coordinated effort on the part of law enforcement to shut down a legal protest movement.

Why isn’t this front page news everywhere?

All the "Corporate News Networks" are the same

Here is the headline from CNN this morning.

Fair and Balanced?

“THE DARK SIDE OF THE WALL STREET PROTESTS”

Calico Blackie says:

You’re crazy if you think any one mainstream network is more fair, balanced, or unbiased than the others. They’re all tools in the propaganda machine telling us exactly what the 1% wants us to hear.

It’s just more disinformation from the media.

IS THIS THEIR NEXT TACTIC?

Not a good day for free speech.

The Constitution is taking a beating.

WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED.

OCCUPY WALL STREET

WE ARE THE 99%
