Banks Refuse To Allow Protesters To Close Accounts

Most Cash Going to Romney! Beware!!

A sign of the times as Occupy Wall Street is doing more than standing in the streets protesting, unlike the Tea Party jerks who have amazingly disappeared recently, there are some protesters taking it to the next level by actually following through on what they believe in. There seems to be a very scared response from major banks as they are not allowing protesters to close their accounts.
This is what happens when big money controls government. When you want your own money, they won't give it to you. The end result here is that if government does nothing to bring to justice those that created the financial problems the world is seeing, there will be revolt. And that revolt will not be by 'mobs' as Republican Eric Cantor calls them, but by organized militia comprising an educated, fed up American People that will adhere to their Constitutional Rights to remove a government that is not by the people, for the people.
Citizens United is a very specialized way made Corporate America a people for the sake of campaign donations, they will soon become a people that is taxed as every other citizen, no special exemptions for them any longer. The SCOTUS has gone beyond its mandate by declaring they are a people. Once this revolt is completed, there will no longer be lifetime appointments for any judge. There will be 2 term limits on all politicians. Lobbyists will be outlawed and those that continue to try and influence sitting politicians will be jailed publicly. It is time to take back America! No more Bullshit!. Politicians salaries and benefits will be determined by the average wage and benefits group of those they represent, and this includes working hours and all else that will make them remember who the represent. No more above average pay or free health insurance and retirement benefits for those in office. These positions can and must be of the people. Our government needs to start doing the right thing for its people, and if the Fat Cats can't handle that, well, after they complete their jail time, they will be allowed to swim to another country with the clothes on their backs only!

Occupy Everywhere

I can't believe that this occupy movement has me thinking as I did 40 years ago. A time I believed that if we were large enough, loud enough, and had a message that was clear and made sense, we could actually make a difference in the world, or at the very least, here in the United States.
Back then, in the late 60's we were labeled hippies, described as drug addicts that had group sex all the time, we were told that what we were doing was communistic. What did we want 40 years ago? Pretty much the same as today's protests. We wanted freedom, we wanted jobs, we wanted equal rights for all, hell, we were being drafted to go die in Viet Nam as soon as we reached the ripe adult age of 18, we wanted the right at that age to vote. We wanted the right at that age to have a few beers. There were other matters that are still being debated today with the current generation that is suffering.
So I guess in the end, it won't change anything. Of all those things that I protested for in my younger life, the things that are still here is that at age 18, one can vote. Yet that right is in jeopardy by the republicans that want to restrict voting to those that will vote for them by insisting there should be a photo ID as proof of who you are. This limits the ability of the poor to vote, this limits college aged student that are struggling, this hurts America's liberties.
Today I am encouraged. It has been quite a while since I have seen those in power cringe at a group of people in fear. What are they afraid of? Beats me. They have the money, they have the power, they have the slaves in congress. OH! My!, maybe they see their way of life threatened? Maybe they will have to pay more taxes or hire more people here. Is that really such a bad thing? If I was a banker, or a hedgefund operator, I am certain that I would be nervous as well. Not because I might have to spend some of my billions on creating jobs or even paying more in taxes (those are easy and painless), I would be very afraid that this group of protesters will be successful and that I will not only be brought to justice for my crimes and greed, but that I may become one of them after jail, forfeiture, fines, loss of my humble mansions because of what I did.
Oddly, this all became a reality after watching a segment on TV that had a graph showing the gap between the average American and the top money-keepers. It became very clear that since the 'Bush Tax Cuts', less regulation, offshore business, there is no longer a need for those big business owners to create jobs. Why should they? They only did it to pay less taxes, now that they can keep their money, they have no use for employees as a write-off against their earnings. Simple math.

New World Order Upon Us

First I would like to apologize to my many followers for being absent recently, family matters have kept me away.

Worldwide 'Occupy' Movement

Today I would like to discuss with you what the world is experiencing today, and what appears to be the beginning of a worldwide movement to change the game and readjust the welfare of all.
When Occupy Wall Street began, it did not seem to me to be much more than another attempt by those malcontents to disrupt the status quo. I was in New York City last week and there were not as many people demonstrating as I remember there being in the 1960's and 1970's, then I remembered that it was a movement then that started in neighborhoods similar as this OWS. It has not only spread nationwide, but worldwide in a short period of time.
And who can blame those that are protesting. They have been taken advantage of financially, educationally, emotionally, and medically in order to not just preserve the capitalist movement but to ensure it lives on stronger than ever. Those in positions of influence, especially in the United States, have done all the wrong things for the people. The wealthy that control the politicians have used their wealth to have laws changed, they have corrupted the Supreme Court by buying its members, and they have done this to halt regulation, allow for unlimited campaign financing (even from other countries), and their ultimate goal, to hinder and destroy the tenure and legacy of our current President, Barrack Obama.
It has been clear since day one of his taking office that the good ol' boys were not going to allow him any degree of success and show that a black man can not lead effectively. And they are succeeding! This is why there are protests. In their greed and racist actions, they are destroying not a man or a race, they are destroying what all of our predecessors have worked for since the world began.
We strive to do better than prior generations, we yearn to be more educated, we have brought science to fantastic levels to increase the lifespan of all. And in a mere few years, we are watching it all go away.
I know many people that are Republican and do, say, and follow religiously the likes of Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Rick Perry, the entire republican congress and big business as if they were a god and no matter what they say, they are right. This is a part of the current protests. Although many of these republican spewers of hate and misinformation are well educated, they are completely and totally misinformed on all issues. It is indeed sad that such a large part of our population either through ignorance or plain stupidity follow the very people that wish to destroy them.
I know of many republicans that blame the financial crisis on sub-standard mortgages, yet many of them are living in houses they themselves no longer pay for due to their stupidity in the housing boom when they refinanced or bought up to a level they could not afford to repay. I know many republicans that have declared bankruptcy and talk down at people that are struggling financially. These people talk from both sides of their mouths.  These people, Rednecks, Republicans, Southerner's, and rich dummies should look at their life and ask where they would be without government interference. How healthy they would be if companies could do as they pleased and polluted our air, waterways, underground streams and aquifers. How educated they would be if there were no Student Loans, how much money they would have if there were no jobs.
I am now joining OWS and will be an active participant in any peaceful takeover of our government that promises to rid the country of outside influence, put a halt to lobbying, install a 2 term limit for all politicians, and give them no benefits after serving. It must also include the best possible welfare of the people, by the people.
The time has come to stop all the bullshit that is bringing our country to ruin and it is way past time for us all to rise up and take control of the future.
We can all work together without the politics to get things done.

New Government Needs To Be Created

First let me tell you that I have no personal political agenda and I do not care what party is in office. What I do care about is that those at all levels of government act for the people. We has such a fractious society, it is difficult to assemble a group of people to calmly discuss  policy issues, future, maintenance, foreign policy, global anything, finances, entitlements, taxes, or anything else.
We are no longer a United States. Proof of this is recent, stimulus money was offered to States so that High Speed Rail could be developed, this would create jobs, Many Governors chose to deny this opportunity to not only employ thousands of people, and at the same time improve travel experiences, We are more divided than ever and this division in not from state to state, but from person to person. This is very dangerous to our future and it is the type of situation that leads to civil war.
There are many fringe groups like the Tea Party and their counter the Progressive Party, we have Libertarians, Republicans, Democrats, Whigs, Anarchists, Communists, Socialists, and White Supremacists, as well as the NRA, the KOCH Brothers, Murdock, Soros, and so many other lobbyists that control us. Corporations are now people in the eyes of the Supreme Court, the tax rate is so complex and corrupt that the average American can make no sense of it.
There is so much hate, so much animosity, there is no longer trust amongst neighbors. If we are to survive to the next generation, we have to find a solution to all of this. We can find compromise in all areas, there can be a flat tax where there are no deductions, everyone pays the same rate, all money gained is taxed as regular income, no limits set on when FICA tax Stops being withheld,  Keep all lobbyists out of work along with lawyers, and career politicians. Change the tenure of those on the Supreme Court to 10 or 12 years, leave all laws up to States except for those that cross State boundaries.
Ok Folks, there is a starting point, Lets see if we can alter the current crash course we are on and make it more palatable for us all..

Huffington Post Is Inadequate As A Reporting Site

Typical American Jail or Prison

The Huffington Post Latino Division has printed a story that brings attention to the use of private prisons/jails for illegal immigrants and totally makes it seem that this is an immigrant issue. I assure you it is not. This type of reporting is irresponsible and meant to attract certain audiences and get their loyalties. Similar to Fox. I am not surprised that they are doing this, however I am disappointed in Arianna for selling out.
American jails and prisons are filled with Americans that do not belong in jail. A small fine for their misbehavior would have been sufficient, however, the private jail/prison industries in this nation have great lobbyists that keep laws to incarcerate as opposed to rehabilitate minor offenders.
So there is much big business behind our laws and this is the story that should have been discussed and reported on. Yes, there is a big push on illegals, but they are not the story, the real story is how we destroy the lives of many for the sake of a few.
Time for you to get to good reporting Arianna or you will lose another reader.
Also, it might have been a good idea to question why they are called 'correctional facilities' instead of jails or prisons. Especially when they do nothing correct.
