Occupy Wall Street: Edmonton Style (Occupy Edmonton)

[somexp12]

Why is there a "Ron Paul 2012" sign in a protest in Canada.

[EncognitiveVids]

@somexp12 Good point. My guess is that the protester thinks U.S. policies affect Canadians.

yet its on youtube :P

I love when few people jump on the hatred bandwagon. The 99% is practically every single person you know in your life. Everyday people who have needs and wants just like everyone else around them. It's not about what I want, you want, or the person standing beside me. It's what the whole world needs, change. It doesn't happen overnight...

We can share all of our experiences and work together to enact change. There is not one human on this earth that is different, we all bleed the same blood.

[EncognitiveVids]

@SturmWolfe Very well said. I live a very good life, by my standards anyway. At the same time, I can appreciate and see the larger perspective of world events. And this is what the Occupy Movement has done for me. Too bad mysweeteventhorizon has tunnel vision.

[KeepEmStraight]

Thank You My Friends & fellow Canadians for caring about this out of control world we all live in. Please assist in getting the message out from the Canadian West Coast, Vancouver BC. we Stand United.

Stand Tall / Live Long / Help Spread the word, the world is watching. Keep it peaceful!

[mysweeteventhorizon]

This is probably the most utterly pathetic, laughable and ridiculous display of a "revolution" I have ever seen......in a country, Canada, that rides a wave of economic success unparallelled in the world today, with an unemployment rate that is non-existent, with a healthcare system the envy of the world, with a social welfare system that rivals Club Med, with a judicial system the very definition of the word lenient...

You people are a farce...a waste of skin....whining perma-malcontents

[mysweeteventhorizon]

@mysweeteventhorizon

Now what follows is actually true......I was up in northern Alberta two days ago....I asked well over 100 people what they knew about the "occupy" protests.....everyone I asked said......"The what???".....they were all to busy working, enjoying life, raising families, hunting, hiking, dining out, shopping and generally enjoying the best country in the world....

You people need a little reality.......a little commonsense.....

[mysweeteventhorizon]

@mysweeteventhorizon

"Live downstream and eat the fish"????? are you kidding me!!!!

The only "fishing" the Indians do these days is for a welfare cheque........now if you were making allegations that all the KFC's, Bingo Halls and liquor stores were being polluted and that was endangering the health of the Indians....now THAT I could believe....

But you people would rather buy oil from the "Home of Human Rights", Saudi Arabia......

You people are a bloody hypocritical joke.....

[EncognitiveVids]

@mysweeteventhorizon Again, examine the debt and its long-term consequences. I'm assuming you're Caucasian, we can stereo-type what they've done to the Natives other groups throughout history. So, let's leave race out of this. I think you might have overlooked of many important issues that were addressed.

[mysweeteventhorizon]

@mysweeteventhorizon

Try reading a little book called "Riddle of The Bones" by Roger Downey..seems a skull was found on the banks of the Columbia River in 1996...carbon dated at 6000 years old...here's the catch...IT WAS A WHITE GUY!!!!...oops!!....there goes all those land claim cheques...no more of that old song "U STOLE MY LAND AND DONE ME WRONG SONG".....guess they'll have to stop sleeping with their daughters, stop beating their women, stop feeling sorry for themselves and get jobs....

[mysweeteventhorizon]

@mysweeteventhorizon

I suppose next you'll want to discuss culture, OK!...2000 years ago my ancestors built entire cites, had hot and cold running water, studied astronomy, medicine, mathematics, physics, architecture, anatomy, built ships and navigated oceans, governed countries and provinces, had standing armies, had senates, art, sculpture and libraries, all the while just less then 100 years ago Indian people were still wiping their arses with leaves

But I guess this makes me a racist

[mysweeteventhorizon]

@mysweeteventhorizon

Leave their children out in a blizzard to freeze to death while drunk you fall asleep in front of the television.."WHITEY DID IT!!!!".drug problem? Its Whitey's fault!!..rape your girlfriend?, crawl into bed with your daughter?..kill a family while driving drunk??.beat your wife and children senseless?..mismanage your finances squandering every last cent so that there is no food for the family or warm clothing for the children???...can't hold a job?, ITS WHITEY'S FAULT!!!

[mysweeteventhorizon]

@mysweeteventhorizon

It was the Indians who played the Race Card long ago....works better than a Visa or Mastercard....note the recent revelations of Chief Shirley Clarke of the Glooscap band in Nova Scotia, the quintessential pig at the trough, her reward; 950,000 dollars in annual salary for the stewardship of 300 souls......nothing like skin colour and liberal sentimentality to fatten a bank account not to mention getting a good table in the local bistro)

But I guess the truth is racist..

[mysweeteventhorizon]

@mysweeteventhorizon

Wait!! I will say it for you.....all the truth I have spoken...not a lie anywhere..amounts to nothing more than the hateful, intolerant, narrow minded, genocidal, racist, self serving, malignant propaganda of another monstrous, indian abusing, oppressive, land stealing, dream-catcher destroying, happy hunting ground plundering White Devil who, because he refuses to continue kissing indian ass and funding stupidity, must be a neo-nazi who kicks his dog and burns crosses...

[mysweeteventhorizon]

@mysweeteventhorizon

So...in your pursuit of corporate greed...why don't you crucify Chief Clarke for the millions of dollars she stole from her own people and the taxpayer....but you won't and you know why!!!

Its the same reason Leftists kiss Saudi ass as they mutilate little girls and subject women to lives of horrific brutality and monstrous deaths....do you not remember the Saudi beheading of a helpless Indonesian maid???

You make me sick all of you!!!...every single hypocritical one...

[mysweeteventhorizon]

@mysweeteventhorizon

Here, watch a YouTube video of the love Saudi's have for women...

youtube.com/watch?v=kpLpy4VSJX­E

These are the people you support every time you fill your gas tank...

After they severed her head they dangled her headless corpse high above the crowd of Saudi elite...how amusing......why don't you by a ticket to Riyadh and try your luck protesting there...

I can assure you we'd never hear from you again....how's that for oppression ????

[EncognitiveVids]

@EncognitiveVids I think you need to go for a walk, enjoy the sunshine, and breathe deeply. Maybe meditate for an hour. You're spewing venom. All the best to you in life.

[mysweeteventhorizon]

@EncognitiveVids

Since when does truth become venom?

You consider yourself enlightened?....read Riddle of the Bones....watch the last moments of a terrified Indonesian maid.....look up the stats on the Glooscap band and Chief Clarke....travel to the Indian reserves and see the mountains of filth and garbage....read the real story behind the blockades in Caledonia Ontario....

In other words.....read the truth....not what you heard in fashionable coffee shops....

Welcome to the real world...

[EncognitiveVids]

@mysweeteventhorizon I live a very good life. But we need to examine the debt and the irreversible destruction of the environment in For Mac.

[EncognitiveVids]

Official Statement from Occupy Wall Street - this statement was voted on and approved by the general assembly of protesters at Liberty Square: Declaration of the Occupation of New York City

[EncognitiveVids]

@EncognitiveVids As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.

[EncognitiveVids]

@EncognitiveVids We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.

Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.

To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.

Join us and make your voices heard!

[EncognitiveVids]

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth;

[EncognitiveVids]

@EncognitiveVids and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

[EncognitiveVids]

@EncognitiveVids They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage...They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.

They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation. They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.

[EncognitiveVids]

@EncognitiveVids They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices...They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions. ..

[EncognitiveVids]

@EncognitiveVids They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right...They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay....They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.

[hanksnow82]

@EncognitiveVids Why are you responding to your own messages ?

[EncognitiveVids]

@hanksnow82 Each post has a character limit. It was the only way I could think of to post a long message.

[EncognitiveVids]

@EncognitiveVids They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance....They have sold our privacy as a commodity...They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press...They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit...They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.

[EncognitiveVids]

@EncognitiveVids They have donated large sums of money to politicians supposed to be regulating them.

They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.

They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantive profit.

They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.

[EncognitiveVids]

@EncognitiveVids They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.

They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.

They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.

They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.

They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.*

To the people of the world,

[EncognitiveVids]

Same messages in every city across the world.
