#OccupyWallstreet

Ask him how he's doing at the Denver civic center.

First a classic anti-union rant followed by a fuzzy backtrack, with the usual bfdd negativity attached.

"It's hopeless! They're all corrupt!"

If unions and union leadership were "just as corrupt" as Wall St or Congressional Repubs, they'd be sitting on the sidelines, whistling Dixie, or feigning ignorance, like the whole "they don't know what they want" crowd, or joining the anti-OWS chorus.

That's not what's happening, is it?

They're onboard, in an open & upfront way. If that's corrupt, then you have a very strange definition of corrupt.

lol... because they see a way to seek power? btw nothing I said was a "fuzzy backtrack", I repeated what I said before. that those running unions are just as corrupt as the top of any other institution. you have no experience, you just recite your lines.

never said it's all hopeless they're all corrupt, more like stop picking arbitrary sides when all these assholes want power and wealth. you closed minded midget.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office ordered the clearance.

At about 1 a.m. Tuesday, police handed out notices from the park's owner, Brookfield Office Properties, and the city saying the park had to be cleared because it had become unsanitary and hazardous.

Paul Browne, a spokesman for the New York Police Department, says most people began filing out of the park once they received the notices; one person was arrested for disorderly conduct. Brown says the park was not heavily populated Tuesday morning.
Video from the WCBS news helicopter showed police surrounding the park, but there was no confrontation between police or protesters immediately visible.

Police and protesters were seen moving calmly around the park, and there appeared to be no effort underway to remove anybody or any tents by force.

Some reports suggested the police had begun clearing the park, but it was unclear whether any arrests had been made.

oh wait, is he a neo con still? my bad he's a 1%er now right?

 

[monovillage]

I'm curious if they're still going to try to close down the stock market on Thursday and I wonder if the threat of that is what got Bloomberg to act.

They're calling attention to these issues and prompting intelligent, fact-based discussions as evidenced by the popularity of this very thread.

Baby steps my friend.

[palehorse]

The police presence at Occupy rallies has increased dramatically and they're using more force to attempt to break up this peaceful movement. Evidence that OWS is WINNING.

I always wondered what really happened to Baghdad Bob...

Now we know.

Facts, lies, stats. Without an understanding of repos the numbers are meaningless. What was the net/net max daily amount lent.

Although I like this idea of a 16T slushfund it would make my job a lot easier.

In that sense JPM or some BK some of the big repo banks must have $50T slushfunds...because obviously what you do is aggregate all the loans these banks have made over a given period of time even if they are only overnight, as that is somehow the total size of their lending capacity.

Baby steps my friend.

Please cite examples when there has been intelligent, fact-based discussion in this thread.

There are alot of people posting in this thread who when faced with facts simply change the subject or do the ad hominem thing.

For the most part, the people who fall into the ''average american'' group are too dumb to care about the issues that started the movement to begin with. It's more fun to joke w\ your friends about dirty hippies than to talk about bankers and wallstreet insiders extracting wealth from our country with fraud,insider trading and outright theft.

By court order the city has been barred from preventing the protest's return with tents, etc. pending a hearing.

[Macamus Prime]

It's one thing to disagree with a message and how it's delivered.

But, to take joy over the abuse of people like OWS (because you feel they are beneath you) just proves you are nothing more than delusional elitist wannabes. You bow down, stick your neck out and gladly accept the ideological leash of the 1%. As if serving and parroting their contempt for those "lower" than themselves is perfectly OK.

You are mindless slaves, who hunger for your own promises and hopes of money and power. Yet, you will never obtain the level of money and power the 1% have.

Did you really not know about this? Similar laws are currently in several states' legislatures. The laws make it a crime to video tape an on duty police officer, even in a public place where there is no expectation of privacy.

I was under the mistaken impression that we lived in a free society that did not arrest you for video taping a cop.

I did not realize that we lived in a Fascist Dictatorship that did not.


My bad.

Well, now you know. And look, you didn't even have to go to a re-education camp to find out!
