Video Report From Oakland: First General Strike in City Since 1946 Shuts Downs Major Port

[SquirrelFromGradLife]

So the port wasn't actually on strike, it simply got blocked which isn't a general strike in any sense of the words. It's NOT even close to a strike because the people doing the blockade did actually not strike they just showed up at the port after work hours..

that's a fail..

how is blocking a harbor for a few hours going to help anything?

How is that going to stop the deregulation of the banking industry that causes one financial after the other?

Lol, so this is something to celebrate? Goodman looks like she's about to come, how vile, puke comes up the back of my throat at that thought and the site of these idiotic rabble rousers. Hmm, where are the police? Where are the national guard? If some morons stop me from being able to show up to my job, I certainly hope the govt locks them up. They have violated other's rights to work and to go where they please - who do they think they are?

@glennd7962 Rabble Rousers? Who do you think you are is more like it?

@glennd7962 the idea of impeding on others' right to work is an interesting concept, and one that is actually discussed in these movements. due to the crisis created by unhinged financial powers, unemployment rose to today's high levels and therefore put many people out of work; are these powers also subjected to your disgust?

Her membership in the Communist Party led to Ronald Reagan's request in 1969 to have her barred from teaching at any university in the State of California. She was tried and acquitted of suspected involvement in the Soledad brothers' August 1970 abduction and murder of Judge Harold Haley in Marin County, California.

I hate to tell you cats this, but you are being SO used by the USG/CIA. Google: "occupy wall street otpor" and "the revolution business" please. Do you really think the USG is so stupid that they would NOT manage and control dissent?? You cats are falling for a BIG lie!
