What Would Jefferson Do?

Greetings to all who love Human Rights and are willing to fight the good fight!

Sign seen at Occupy Chicago. Why do you think our government and Wall Street has such a problem with this?

Yeah.

Thomas Jefferson would be getting pepper sprayed right now while Fox “news” was saying “that dirty hippie should just move to China if he doesn’t like it here.”

I originally started this website/blog with the intention of using it as a voice to call attention to the plight of the homeless in America.

Then, the “occupy” protests started and I realized that many of the “occupiers” demands and goals were directly tied to the homeless issue.

Foreclosures.

Greed to the point of being detrimental to our freedom.

Wall Street putting maximum profit before humanity.

OWS is against the poverty that is threatening to crush all of us, and they’re working for solutions.

Why do you think our government, the willfully ignorant, and Wall Street have such a problem with this?

I also saw that the OWS detractors chanted the same tired mantra that I had heard in comments from people when I became active with the issue of homelessness.

You can tell me “Oh those people made bad choices in life, so they deserve what they get.”

And while it’s true that many did make bad choices, we can’t take away the fact that they are still human beings and do deserve a better life.

We live in America, and yet a good portion of our population are still living in poverty and/or homeless.

I find it shameful.

“They made poor choices in life” “I made it and so could they” “They just want handouts” “Those bums should get a job”

Now, if you try to demonstrate for the common good of humanity in this country, you get beaten, pepper sprayed and arrested for caring enough to do something about it.

You get called a “dirty hippie,” or much worse.

That is also shameful.

Remains of 1,639 ‘nameless’ buried in LA

By Patrick Healy and Reva Hicks, nbclosangeles.com

The Los Angeles County Cemetery in Boyle Heights exists for those who die disconnected from family and society, and once a year, their remains are buried — but perhaps more importantly, their lives are commemorated.

The county becomes their family and performs a dignified burial.

The end of the line

“Their stories need to be honored,” said Rev. Chris Ponnet, of St. Camillus Center for Spiritual Care, where many of the individuals being buried had lived their final hours.

The cremated remains of 1,639 persons were put in a common grave Wednesday.

All died out of touch with their families.

  “These are the faceless, nameless people that probably you see all the time, with their shopping carts and black bags, who end up in our emergency rooms,” said Health Services Chaplain Rambhoru Brinkman.

Erased memories. Erased lives

Calico Blackie says:

 It’s so very sad.

Those people had lives.

Somebody once loved them, and they loved someone.

They had feelings.

I guess that many of the “get a job” crowd will never care about that unless they find themselves with their backs against the wall.

Until then, it’s easier for them to ignore the homeless while they sit on their big fat asses and watch Fox “news” cast aspersions on the OWS Movement for fighting for all of us.

So, what are we doing about it?

We’re fighting the good fight!

From MSNBC

Mayor issues ultimatum to Occupy Boston: Get out of town by midnight tonight or city will remove them from Dewey Square

Well Bill, we could use the homeless essentially as a food product!

From:

The San Francisco Chronicle (SF Gate)

Occupy SF regroups after raid, clashes with cops

About a half dozen Occupy protesters were arrested and later released during the evening, but police eventually pulled back after demonstrators refused to leave the plaza. The group greeted the police retreat with cheers and chants of “our park” and “cops are the 99 percent.”

More than 100 police officers, along with sheriff’s deputies, firefighters and public works crews, converged on the camp at the foot of Market Street early Wednesday and gave protesters five minutes to clear out.

The 70 were arrested on suspicion of illegal lodging and camping in a public park. Two were also arrested on suspicion of felony assault on a police officer after they threw a metal chair at him, hitting him on his face shield and causing minor injuries, Officer Albie Esparza said.

The direction we're headed in? Those are Poles being executed. They WILL eventually get around to YOU

Calico Blackie says:

Remember, if you use your constitutional right to fight back against the police for trying to exercise your constitutional rights,  when assaulted, it’s felony assault on a police officer.

Here’s one of the comments after the article:

“Occupy Wall Street: Thousands of angry people with worthless lives trying to show everyone that they matter. The rest of us don’t really care that your lives havn’t quite worked out. We don’t complain when things get bad, we take the lumps and keep moving on. Leave the vermin encampments behind. Go take a nice, long, hot shower. Have some coffee. Clear your head.”

“And then go find a job or something else that will pay your bills b/c the rest of us responsible adults have had enough of your crybaby insults. Start pulling your own weight if you want respect.”

Calico Blackie says:

Sound familiar?

The same old “get a job” and “worthless lives,” and “we don’t care.”

That’s the same thing these residents of Stepford say about the homeless.

SHUT IT DOWN. FIGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRY

Why do I get the feeling that these same people would be fine with rounding the protesters AND the homeless all up and gassing us in concentration camps?

Maybe that’s the direction we’re headed in.

Also in the news:

Occupy Denver: Shut Down Wal-Mart

It appears that the West Coast occupations won’t be the only ones stirring the pot on December 12′s Port Shutdown action.

In solidarity with the December 12 action, Occupy Denver called on “land-locked” occupations to disrupt Wal-Mart distribution centers.

Essentially ports of land, Wal-Mart distribution centers are the backbone of trucking goods to the thousands of Wal-Marts throughout the country.

Occupy Binghamton, New York posted on their Facebook page:

Day: Saturday     Time: 1-4pm

ALL OVER THE USA!

The GA will be held at the Occupy Binghamton encampment, downtown at the corner of State and Court streets. 

We invite all regional and upstate NY occupations to join in a discussion about how to proceed in the coming winter months.

From Occupy Portland:

“Please join us on 12/12!
Meet up at 6 AM at Kelley Point Park!


We will rally and then head to the Port together!

Kidakita Saw this on twitter yesterday:

“In Texas a concealed gun permit is acceptable ID to vote but not a Texas college student ID. Most concealed gun permits are held by guess who!!”

@kidakita replied:

“So? Do something about it. Buy a gun. learn how 2 use it. Get a permit.

It would scare the hell out of them if we ALL did it!”

Calico Blackie says:

Think about it.

If suddenly there was a 10,000% spike in gun sales in this country, the 1% would get very worried.

All a concealed carry (CCW) permit will do is tell the cops where to find you if they banned guns in this country.

But, it’s easier to keep the blinders on, isn’t it?

Katy Perry's vagina AND Victoria’s Secret! Who cares about the REAL news?

 

Here’s the crap we’re being fed today:

From MSNBC (and everywhere else)

Tasteful

The event of 2011 that you’ve all been waiting for is nearly here: Lindsay Lohan’s appearance in Playboy.

While Lohan’s decision to pose for the magazine might seem like a suspect career move for many, her mother Dina has insisted that the pictures will be “tastefully done.”

Calico Blackie says:

An event we’ve all been waiting for?

Who writes this stuff?

Lohan has already “shown the goods” to the world and this reminds me of a pitch you would get at a used car lot when the salesman tries to impress you by showing you a worn out beater that has already been driven by half the population.

But wait! There’s more!

Two Wall Street executives taking in a game

It seems as if the California Angels have signed a baseball player!

Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports reports that Pujols has agreed to sign with the Angels, getting a 10-year contract worth between $250 million and $260 million.

Calico Blackie says:

250 million dollars? Bread and circuses for the masses is getting pretty pricey these days.

I wonder how much it costs these days to take a family of four to a game if you don’t want to sit in the nosebleed seats?

On that note….

Officer Pike

The cop with the pepper spray at UC Davis is Lt. John Pike of University of California Police. 530-752-3989

He should be fired and prosecuted for assault.

Make an example of him to show our police around the country what can happen to them if they use brutality on citizens.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET, NOR WILL WE ACCEPT A “SINCERE” APOLOGY.

We’ve got to fight back.

If we’re all just a bunch of “dirty hippies” with “no message,” what are they so afraid of?

Why do they keep bringing out armies of riot police to crush us?

We must demonstrate our resolve to protect freedom!

SHUT THEM DOWN

Another National Disgrace

by Calico Blackie on November 26, 2011 at 11:08 am
Posted In: A Dose Of Reality, Media Bias

Greetings from Rural America!

They know damn well what we stand for. They just hope Fox "news" viewers will keep repeating the "what do they stand for" chant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday, a photo was circulating on the web showing a protester holding a cup of Starbucks coffee and the media was gleefully displaying it to show the “corporate” items the protesters are consuming. 

It’s sad, because it was a blatant attempt by the media to keep it’s viewers ignorant.

Being anticorporation and wanting corporate money out of politics are two vastly different things my friend.

Heh

I was criticized on facebook yesterday for asking that black Friday be cancelled for concerns about “public safety.”

I thought it was pretty funny.

After all, these are the same people that buy a $3 metallic ribbon (made in China), slap it on their car, and then drive around feeling really good about themselves for supporting (insert cause here). Either that, or they post “If you are for (insert cause here), put this on your status for 15 minutes.”

Makes them feel real militant to do an empty gesture.

In case you haven’t seen it yet, here is another good example of how we’re fed our news:

Cover of Time Magazine in Europe

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cover of Time Magazine in The United States

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s disgraceful and embarrassing!

So, what happened during Black Friday shopping?

Shoppers Pack Monroeville Mall On Black Friday, Victoria’s Secret Deal Leads To Hot Tempers

One of the most climactic parts of the day was at Victoria’s Secret, where a hot deal on yoga pants had some women fuming.

What we guys think of when we hear "yoga pants"

“Literally, girls were punching each other,” said shopper Liz Wentling. “They threw little bags in baskets and they were just like, ‘Here.’ Girls were literally shoving each other.”

Lots of other violence at the stores too:

Several of the incidents took place at Walmart stores as millions of Americans loaded up on holiday purchases.

A spokesman for the company told NBC News that ”overall, it’s been a very safe event at the thousands of Walmart stores open for Black Friday.”

“There were a few unfortunate incidents, but otherwise we’ve heard positive feedback from our customers and associates,” he said.

An off-duty police officer used pepper spray on shoppers at a Walmart in Kinston, N.C.

“Kinston police Sgt. Roland Davis said an off-duty officer whom the store had hired to help with security used the chemical while trying to make an arrest during a disturbance. Unconfirmed reports said as many as 20 people were affected.”

Also:

“Authorities say gunfire erupted at a North Carolina mall as holiday shoppers gathered, the Associated Press reported.”

People you usually see in yoga pants

“The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office said detectives were looking for two suspects after gunfire rang out at Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville early Friday.”

“No injuries were reported.”

In Arizona……

An explosive device was found at a break room at a Walmart in Cave Creek, Ariz., according to reports Friday.  

Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said a suspicious package was found inside a refrigerator in the store break room on Thursday. The store was evacuated as a precaution while deputies investigated the package.

In New York……

A Rome, N.Y., man was charged with disorderly conduct after a fight that broke out the moment Black Friday shopping began at midnight. 

Several shoppers at the electronics department at a Walmart store were pushed to the ground, and several fights broke out.  Two shoppers were taken to a hospital for minor injuries.

Attention Walmart Shoppers....It's basically a food product!

Outraged by the violence?

Write your elected “representatives!”

BUT……

If you think those greedy idiots will read anything you send that is not in the memo field of a sizable check, you are deluded.

Speaking of deluded idiots:

It seems like it’s been decided by large segments of the population that valid forms of free speech are (in descending order):

1. Money
2. Bullets
3. Assimilation
4. Speech

and that there are a lot of people who are not only OK with that, but defend it. It’s very odd.

But, don’t worry.

We’ll fight for you. In 30 years, you can be like ex-Royalists in 1800 and pretend you were always on our side.

To "protect and serve." To understand who is looking for a riot, see who came dressed for one

And people pshawed the notion that we might ever need those 2nd Amendment rights to fight back against violent corruption and tyranny…

But, let’s hope it never comes to that.

We’re going to try to keep this protest as peaceful as possible because we’re better than they are.

Have you heard about this?

From The BBC

NATO: ‘Highly likely’ we caused Pakistan troop deaths

Brigadier-General Carsten Jacobson said NATO was investigating how the incident occurred and sent condolences.

Pakistani officials have responded with fury to the incident, which they say killed at least 24 soldiers.

Those bombs in Pakistan are basically a food product, Bill!

So…..

What’s new with the “occupy” movement?

From MSNBC

Occupy movement targets Black Friday; 16 arrested

Ten Occupy Oklahoma City protesters were arrested Friday morning after a protest at a Walmart store in Del City.

Del City police Capt. Jody Suit told the newspaper that officers working off-duty security jobs at the store called for assistance about 2 a.m. because the protesters were causing disturbances in the back of the store.

Photo from Honolulu WalMart that accompanied the story. Hell, those "dirty hippies" are cleaner looking than most WalMart shoppers!

One of those arrested, Mark Faulk, 55, of Oklahoma City told the newspaper that he was filming the group’s “mike check” — in which one member of the group shouts something and then the others in the group repeat what the speaker said — when “Del City police ran and started tackling people from behind.” Police Lt. Steve Robinson told The Associated Press that no excessive force was used.

Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill:

Sen. McCaskill Requests Probe Into $433M Smallpox Drug Contract

A Democratic senator called this week for an investigation into a $433 million government contract for a smallpox drug amid questions over the necessity of the drug and the way the contract was approved.

Accountability in Government?

The request comes after the Times reported earlier this month that U.S. officials took unusual steps to award the contract to Siga Technologies. Democratic donor Ronald Perelman has the controlling share of the company. 

The article cited emails showing the Obama administration replaced the lead negotiator on the project following complaints from Siga, which was apparently concerned about the government’s objections to how much money Siga would make off the deal. 

Earlier, in December, the government also reportedly blocked other companies from bidding on the contract in a second round. 

Siga ultimately won the contract in May, but some questioned the price of the drug — approximately $255 per dose — and the practicality of the project. 

Finally, a few thoughts from Calico Blackie……

The people I see getting their ass kicked on TV are Americans. I am an American. If you are not outraged by the violent crackdowns on peaceful AMERICAN protesters then you are a perfect citizen of our new police state. We might as well add the words Conform/Comply to the pledge of allegiance.

And to those of you that sit back and smugly call us “dirty hippies” and “malcontents” while watching Hannity, O’Reilly, and Kelly rejoicing over protesters getting beaten and pepper sprayed? Here is what you’re saying to us……………. 

CAIRO LAST NIGHT. SOLIDARITY WITH OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN EGYPT!

LOOKS LIKE YOU TOOLS ARE FINDING OUT JUST HOW REPRESSIVE THE SYSTEM IS! HA HA, YOU STOOD UP AND FOUGHT, AND GOT BEAT DOWN, YOU IDIOTS! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN SMART LIKE US AND JUST SHUT UP, KISSED THE ASS, AND LIKED IT!

Oh, in case you haven’t heard…..There’s this little thing going on in Egypt too.

On that note…….

The cop with the pepper spray at UC Davis is Lt. John Pike of University of California Police. 530-752-3989

He should be fired and prosecuted for assault. Make an example of him to show our police around the country what can happen to them if they use brutality on citizens.

Black Friday Shopping. This is what we show the world?

WE WILL NEVER FORGET, NOR WILL WE ACCEPT A “SINCERE” APOLOGY.

Our Tax Dollars at Work

by Calico Blackie on November 20, 2011 at 12:26 pm
Posted In: Big Brother, Bread and Circuses for the Masses, Media Bias

 Greetings From the Middle of Nowhere in Rural America!

Re-occupation yesterday

It’s Sunday, so let’s dive right in.

They’re at it again.

Our tax dollars at work oppressing the people and trampling the Constitution.

So, what are our tax dollars doing now? We’re paying for another attack on the Oakland camp.

Just think….

If we just surrender our freedom and give in to the bankers, we could all see our tax dollars going to foreign wars and watch our children dying on Fox “news!”

Peaceful camp last night

Heck, we could even afford to send more tear gas canisters to the Egyptian army.

It’s sad that about the only things “Made in America” any more are armaments and Big Macs.

Death, any way you slice it.

From KCBS News:

Oakland officials confirm that Occupy Oakland camp at 19th & Telegraph is being broken up by police right now. Follow 740AM & 106.9FM.

Speaking of tear gas and death……..

From Fox “News” (The Volischer Beobachter) and Al Jazeera

Egyptian army, police launch major assault to evict protesters from Cairo’s Tahrir Square

It can't happen here, right? RIGHT?

 

 

“Months after the 18-day uprising that toppled embattled Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak, police clash with protesters in Tahrir Square as demonstrators demand the ruling military announce a date to hand over power to an elected government.”

Calico Blackie says:

Because standing up for yourself and others is WRONG, citizen

Notice there hasn’t been a word from DC yet about the latest protests in Egypt and the “rights” of the demonstrators like the denunciations in January?

Back to America:

Protesters Arrested After Occupying Vacant Building in Washington, D.C.

“District of Columbia police on Saturday evening arrested 11 protesters and planned to charge them with unlawful entry after officers entered and cleared an abandoned city-owned building that had been occupied by a group inspired by Occupy D.C.”

Here’s a follow-up on the news from UC Davis:

Officer Pike

The cop with the pepper spray at UC Davis in yesterday’s video is Lt. John Pike of University of California Police.

530-752-3989

Calico Blackie says:

* REMEMBER: YOUR TAX DOLLARS BOUGHT HIS PEPPER SPRAY

And, in the news….

UC Davis launching investigation into officers pepper-spraying protesters

The chancellor of the University of California, Davis said Saturday that the school was launching an investigation after “chilling” video images surfaced online showing an officer using pepper spray on several protesters as they sit passively with their arms interlocked.

WE bought that pepper spray for the prick to use

“The use of the pepper spray as shown on the video is chilling to us all and raises many questions about how best to handle situations like this,” Chancellor Linda Katehi said in a message posted on the school’s web site.

“Katehi said she is forming a task force comprised of faculty, students and staff to review the events surrounding the Friday protest and the police response.”

Calico Blackie says:

Review the events? They have the whole thing on video!

Typical bureaucratic doublespeak for “we’re going to wait and hope it goes away and then give the sadist a week off with pay.” 

After review, he should be fired and prosecuted.  Would you want this sadist around your kids?

The report goes on to state:

“A law enforcement official who watched the clip called the use of force “fairly standard police procedure.”

Calico Blackie says:

Since when does sadistic behavior and police brutality constitute “fairly standard police procedure.” Oh yeah, that’s right. When it suits the needs of the State and not it’s citizens.

Would you buy a used car from these clowns?

Also in the news:

From Reuters: 

Deficit panel stalled as deadline looms

“Members still far apart on how to attain goal of finding $1.2 trillion in budget savings”

Both sides of Congress’ deadlocked “super committee” held separate talks on Saturday, but formal negotiations remained stalled, reaffirming gloomy predictions that the deficit-fighting panel may fail.

With a midnight Wednesday deadline fast approaching, the panel’s six Republican and six Democratic members were still far apart on how to attain a goal of finding at least $1.2 trillion in budget savings over the next 10 years.

Meanwhile:

BUY NOTHING DAY IS APPROACHING

Calico Blackie says:

What in the hell are they doing?

What are we paying these clowns for with our tax dollars?

They should forfeit their paychecks for not coming up with a deal. 

Imagine going up to your boss and saying: “Sorry, couldn’t get it done?”

If you must go shopping, shop “mom and pop” stores.

DeBeers. Now there’s a company that cares about human beings!

So, what was the lead story on CBS News this morning?

Here ya go!

“Natalie Wood’s fatal voyage”

Calico Blackie says:

Tired of this type of “news?”

So am I. So is rural America.

GIVE US REAL NEWS, NOT PROPAGANDA!

This should be in either the Entertainment section, or Crime section of the news.

NOT THE LEAD STORY!

On that note……

Sometimes the news seems to be a morass!

Don’t forget to pay your taxes! Our police have been using a lot of pepper spray lately and that stuff ain’t free.

Hey…

Come to think of it…

NEITHER ARE WE.

“The Sun still shines.”

SOLIDARITY AND SUPPORT TO OUR BROTHERS & SISTERS IN EGYPT!

OCCUPY WALL STREET

For Yourselves

For your families

There is still hope, brothers and sisters

 


 

FOR OUR FUTURE!

And greetings to all lovers of freedom around the world

Calico Blackie says:

KEEP FIGHTING! 

This is just the beginning and the forces of darkness will ramp up their violence against us. 

This will include calling out the Army and National Guard.  Be ready for these tactics.

I received a comment this morning from “Ryan”:

“Trying to take money away from big business is about as far away from Free Market Capitalism as you can get, bud. I have no problem with the occupy protesters except for a few things, they are NOT the 99%, they are NOT fighting for Capitalism, they’re fighting for Communism, and they do NOT have the right to say that everyone who disagrees with them is republican and watches Fox News. Case in point? Me.”

Calico Blackie says:

Ryan, you have missed the point, and you are free to disagree with me.  You can have your opinions and freely and publicly state them.  I can’t.

I can be jailed for my opinion. 

I can be pepper sprayed and beaten for my opinion. 

If you think we’re fighting for communism, you have fallen for the propaganda you have watched on Fox “news.”  Oh sure, in any movement there will be splinter groups that do not represent the majority. 

These are the people that your friends at Fox “news” have chosen to concentrate on and to air.  It’s called “misinformation.” 

 There are Democrats and Republicans within our movement.  We are the people that can go beyond Fox “news” and their peculiar reporting methods.  We are the 99%. 

"Misinformation" not "lies." See? That's better!

So, are you with us, Ryan?

Or will you wait to join until we’ve all been crushed and taken away and they finally get around to you?

 The time is rapidly coming where all will be forced to choose sides. 

There will be no neutrality, unless you are prepared to accept the path to slavery Wall Street and their wholly owned subsidiary in Washington DC has chosen for you.

The 1% will stop at nothing to kill our fight and desire for freedom.

Have you seen this?

From MSNBC:

Exclusive: Lobbying Firm’s Memo Spells Out Plan to Undermine Occupy Wall Street

“A well-known Washington lobbying firm with links to the financial industry has proposed an $850,000 plan to take on Occupy Wall Street and politicians who might express sympathy for the protests, according to a memo obtained by the MSNBC program “Up w/ Chris Hayes.”

The proposal was written on the letterhead of the lobbying firm Clark Lytle Geduldig & Cranford and addressed to one of CLGC’s clients, the American Bankers Association.

GLGC proposes that the ABA pay CLGC $850,000 to conduct “opposition research” on Occupy Wall Street in order to construct “negative narratives” about the protests and allied politicians.

The memo also suggests that Democratic victories in 2012 should not be the ABA’s biggest concern. “… The bigger concern,” the memo says, “should be that Republicans will no longer defend Wall Street companies.”

Calico Blackie says:

Hmmm. Still think this is the “Land of the Free?”

In other news:

 From: The Chicago Tribune

 2 Chicago cops among 15 indicted on federal gang charges

HAMMOND– Two Chicago police officers were indicted in northwest Indiana on charges they were paid by Latin King street gang leaders to shake down rival drug dealers, according to charges unsealed today.

The two plainclothes officers robbed gang rivals in Chicago, Indiana and Rockford while wearing their badges and police gear and using their unmarked squad cars, the charges alleged.

Calico Blackie says:

These are the same people that will pepper spray you on the orders of their commandant.  They are not your friends.

I’ll just leave this here:

Scene from America. Still think we're free?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On that note, another history lesson:

Sophie Scholl of the "White Rose"

Sophie Scholl was a 22 year old philosophy student at Munich University and she, her older brother Hans and his friend, Christoph were members of an anti- Nazi organisation called The White Rose.

They were caught helping to distribute an anti-Nazi pamphlet in the university and were taken to Wittelsbach Palais, where they were interrogated for four days by they Gestapo before coming to trial on February the 22nd, 1943.

They were quickly found guilty and sentenced to death. All three were guillotined by Johann Reichhart in Munich’s Stadelheim prison within hours of the verdict on that same day.

Calico Blackie says:

RESIST THE MACHINE!

We’ve got to be prepared for this.

Are YOU willing to go this far? If this continues, there will be “disappearances” and REAL bullets.

“Sophie was taken to the guillotine first and reportedly walked to her death “without batting an eyelash”.

Her last words were “Die Sonne scheint noch,” which translates as “The Sun still shines.”

The above photograph was taken at a peaceful “Occupy Tampa” rally. Still think you’re free?

“The Sun still shines.”

OCCUPY WALL STREET

For Yourselves

For your families

FOR OUR FUTURE!

Keep the sun shining!

“So that a government of the people, by the people, and for the PEOPLE shall not perish from the earth”

“The lamps are going out all over the USA. We shall not see them lit again in our time”

by Calico Blackie on November 14, 2011 at 11:20 am
Posted In: A Dose Of Reality, Big Brother, Divided We Fall, Media Bias

Greetings from Rural America!

I’m sorry fellow Americans. They made me say it!

Well, it appears as if the corporate propaganda machine is at it again.  This time they’ve found a new ally. 

Comic book writers!  They’re ramping up the arsenal.

They’ve enlisted Batman!

In the “news” today:

Frank Miller Doesn’t Think Much of Occupy Wall Street

“Frank Miller, the legendary comic artist behind Sin City, 300, and The Dark Knight Returns unloaded on the Wall Street protesters in a recent blog post, and plenty of his fans are firing back.”

Here are his words:

“The “Occupy” movement, whether displaying itself on Wall Street or in the streets of Oakland (which has, with unspeakable cowardice, embraced it) is anything but an exercise of our blessed First Amendment.

“Occupy” is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.

Calico Blackie says:

Uh, have you seen Batman lately?

What is this? Batman in Hell? He’s coming after Robin. Can’t be Batman. That’s Jerry Sandusky in a Batman suit!

Calico Blackie says:

 Is that the best you can do, Frank? 

Name calling?  Parroting Fox “news” and their pack of paid liars? 

Harm America? 

What about the crap you’ve been turning out lately that poisons the minds of our youth?

  We are trying to fix America before all hope is lost and “We the People” are crushed beneath the Wall Street steamroller.

Cowardice?  Demanding a “Government of the People, By the People, and For the People” and being ready to protest for these ideals is cowardice? 

“Louts, thieves and rapists?”  It sounds like you’ve been writing fantasy for so long that you can’t see reality anymore.  You’ll buy any lie that’s fed to you by the 1% and their henchmen.

Frank Miller then goes on with his tirade:

“Occupy” is nothing short of a clumsy, poorly-expressed attempt at anarchy, to the extent that the “movement” – HAH! Some “movement”, except if the word “bowel” is attached – is anything more than an ugly fashion statement by a bunch of iPhone, iPad wielding spoiled brats who should stop getting in the way of working people and find jobs for themselves.

If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed - A. Hitler

Calico Blackie says:

“Bowel Movement”?  C’mon Frank. The bell rang. Recess is over. It’s nap time! 

He keeps on the corporate line of “spoiled brats” that need to “find jobs.”  Good Lord Frank!  That tired old horse was beaten to death weeks ago, yet you and your cronies on Wall Street and the mainstream media keep repeating it like a chant. 

I guess they think that if they repeat it enough, people will believe it.

You know, when a jackass like Frank Miller starts to spout drivel for the enjoyment and gain of his masters, I don’t usually even reply, and I don’t sink to their level. 

But just this once……

I’ll see your deluded Bizarro Propaganda World Batman and raise you Captain America!

 

 

Also in the news:

Police clear out downtown Occupy Oakland camp

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — “Riot-clad law enforcement officers cleared out a weeks-old anti-Wall Street encampment just before dawn Monday, arresting several dozen Occupy demonstrators and clearing out tents from a downtown Oakland plaza after issuing several warnings over the weekend.”

“Protesters put up little resistance and officers could be seen leading some handcuffed demonstrators away.  Police blocked off surrounding streets before Monday’s raid. Afterward, some demonstrators gathered near the barricades and vowed to return.”

Portland Oregon: “Police moved in. An officer on a loudspeaker warned that anyone who resisted risked arrest and “may also be subject to chemical agents and impact weapons.” Demonstrators chanted “we are a peaceful protest.”

“We were talking about what we were going to do and then they just started hitting people. Seems like a waste of resources to me,” protester Mike Swain, 27, told the AP.”

“Portland Mayor Sam Adams Sunday defended his order to clear the park, saying it is his job to enforce the law and keep the peace. “This is not a game,” Adams said.”

Calico Blackie says:

Here’s your “game,” Mr. Mayor: Theodore Roosevelt………..

Meanwhile…..

Has anybody noticed this between watching episodes of “Dancing With the Stars” and what Paris Hilton wore last week?

Banks Quietly Ramping Up Costs to Consumers

“Even as Bank of America and other major lenders back away from charging customers to use their debit cards, many banks have been quietly imposing other new fees.”

“Need to replace a lost debit card? Bank of America now charges $5 — or $20 for rush delivery.  Deposit money with a mobile phone? AtUS Bancorp, it is now 50 cents a check. Want cash wired to your account? Starting in December, that will cost $15 for each incoming domestic payment at TD Bank. Facing a reaction from an angry public and heightened scrutiny from regulators, banks are turning to all sorts of fees that fly under the radar. Everything, it seems, has a price.”

“Banks tried the in-your-face fee with debit cards, and consumers said enough,” said Alex Matjanec, a co-founder of MyBankTracker. “What most people don’t realize is that they have been adding new charges or taking fees that have always existed and increased them, or are making them harder to avoid.”

In keeping with the “fantasy theme” at the beginning of today’s column, here are a couple of predictions for the future, if “occupy” is crushed or fades away this winter:

Calico Blackie says:

We’ve got to succeed NOW!  Or come this spring, when we return, the Mayors, Cops, and their other forces of doom will be waiting for us.  It will look something like this:

Spring 2012 Scene of Occupy Boston Massacre?

There are some people that seem to enjoy getting screwed for the maximum profit of Wall Street.

We must continue to protest.

Even if there are ignorant people out there that buy everything the propaganda machine tells them.

Even if they call us juvenile names and “cherry pick” the news for their “facts.” 

We must keep up the fight.

But, after a few “occupy Boston Massacres”, and the American People realize they have been supporting a sham government owned by Wall Street, the scene will look more like this:

Summer 2012 Scene at Occupy Wall Street, New York City?

If we don’t succeed?  Too terrible and Orwellian to contemplate.

Keep the lamps of freedom lit so that we don’t have to sadly tell our grandchildren:

“We were the 99%” when they ask us why we let the forces of darkness take over the world.

Read the book “1984.” The clocks are striking 13

RESIST THE CORPORATE MAGGOTS THAT PREY UPON SOCIETY

 

Remember people, stay united.

United, we win!

We are the 99%

PARTY LIKE IT’S 1968?

Greetings from the Heart of the Klamath!

Well……..

We witnessed a terrorist attack on peaceful citizens last night. Did any of you call the police? I urge you all to call UCPD (510) 642‑6760, and the Berkeley Police (510) 981-5900, to report these crimes.

YES, WE ARE!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peaceful demonstrators on the UC Berkeley campus were attacked by a terrorist organization for demanding an end to cuts in education and for a return of control of our government to the 99%.  They were met by an organized gang of thugs, dressed in riot gear who represent the interests of their 1% masters.

WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add LESS IS MORE to it and we have 2011. C’mon students. Pay more for your education while we give you less services and classes! We’ll still keep our paid thugs in the UCPD, and we’ll still serve the 1% on the UC Regents Board!

 

From KTVU in Oakland:

(Who edits this stuff??? I’ve edited the following text so it makes much more sense:)

UC police clash with Occupy protesters at Sproul Hall

“UC police in riot gear moved on several Occupy protesters gathered outside of Sproul Hall on the Berkeley campus Wednesday night,  taking down tents the protesters had set up in a tense confrontation.”

In other words:

UC police in riot gear moved on several Occupy protesters gathered outside Sproul Hall on the Berkeley campus Wednesday night in a tense confrontation taking down tents the protesters had set up.

“Approximately 50 UC police officers in riot helmet with visors approached the group of protesters at around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday night, prodding the students and activists who had formed a human chain with batons as the gathered crowd chanted “Stop beating students!” “Peaceful protest!” and “The whole world is watching!”

This means:

Approximately 50 UC police officers in riot helmets with visors approached the group of protesters at around 9:30 p.m. prodding the students and activists with batons.   Protestors had formed a human chain and were chanting “Stop beating students!” “Peaceful protest!” and “The whole world is watching!

At points the shoving between the two groups intensified with police pushing forward and wielding their batons to the outcry of the protesters.

I ask you….Does this look like “prodding”? Does this look like “Shoving between two groups”?

No. This is an attack by armed thugs upon a group of peaceful people. And we’re letting it  happen if we don’t speak up now.

 

But, Hey!…..

University of California system wide student strike approved next Tuesday!

Better grease your batons and rubber bullets UCPD. The whole world will be watching YOU.

From The Oakland Tribune:

Citing excessive force and free speech violations by police during protests in Oakland and at UC Berkeley, the Berkeley City Council this week refused a mutual aid agreement with university police and nixed agreements with other police agencies on regional domestic surveillance.

Heard early this morning:

“There was more property damage in last night’s riots at Penn State than in all 100+ OWS protests combined”

Not an Occupy Protest. Not Berkeley. This is Penn State!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also heard this last night:

“Gingrich says OWS protestors have no clue about history.”

A TRAITOR TO HIS COUNTRY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Calico Blackie says:

Oh, that’s rich!  Newt, I AM an historian. Perhaps you should read your history and discover more about Benedict Arnold. He sold us out, just like you and your cronies over at Fox “news” are selling us out.

From Salon.com

Occupiers plan epic New York to Washington march

Persistent criticism of Occupy Wall Street for failing to specify demands has helped obscure the fact that groups of people within the movement have been mobilizing around concrete political goals.

Join in! Defend your Country against the 1%

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The latest example is a small group of occupiers who will set out tomorrow on a 230-mile march from New York to Washington, where they plan to arrive on the eve of the deadline of the congressional supercommittee.

 

They keep at it, but we’re not buying their lies

 

 

 

Meanwhile, we’re being “set up” again:

The British media say Israel may launch an aerial strike on Iranian nuclear facilities as early as next month. The offensive will receive support from the US, the speculation goes.  The attack is meant to decapitate Iran’s nuclear program, which a recent report by the UN atomic watchdog said may have a military component.

The Daily Mail cites British government sources as saying that the cabinet expects Israel to attack Iran “sooner rather than later.”  “We’re expecting something as early as Christmas, or very early in the New Year,” a Foreign Office source is cited as saying.

Calico Blackie says:

It appears as if the 1% is trying to start another “for profit” war, with the added bonus of getting rid of surplus population. The “surplus population” is US.  Don’t fall for the lies of their propaganda machine. KEEP TRACK OF THIS STORY no matter how much the corporate media tries to distract us with Lohan, Snooki, news about Disney’s “pop tarts” and other meaningless bullshit.

Speak up! Protest! Exercise your Constitutional rights no matter what Coulter, Hannity, Limbaugh and the other “Benedict Arnolds” say.

 

We are the 99%
