Glenn Greenwald on Occupy Wall Street, Banks Too Big To Jail and the Attack on WikiLeaks

[asynkronos]

@pjamesbda Everyone I know in DC is behind Manning, Assange and WikiLeaks. It infuriates me to see Cheney and other criminals roaming free like Tricky Dick #1 while Assange and Manning are prisoners, burdened with huge legal expenses and facing worse punishment for exposing their heinous crimes. It's a travesty of our revolutionary ancestors' justice. It's a U.S. Mafia/Cointelpro-style media hit job like the one they did on MLK before they murdered him. I'm heading back today to OCCUPY!

This proves Bill Clinton is not a member of the elite. As you may recall, Clinton wasn't immune to anything.

Excellent job Glenn Greenwald, except that the word is KAsum, not chasum.

The richer the poor get the richer we all get. That's real Econ!

[MzProgressive]

Yes! I wholeheartedly agree that Richard Nixon's pardon was a travesty against justice. I had no idea that Dick Cheney rode that pardon for all it was worth as well. I wonder if he would ever have been nominated for the VP position if Americans knew exactly what Cheney had done in the 70s.  Hard to say, with our complicit press and our lazy electorate.

Such a grave combination: state department supporting "war contractors" aka criminals acting with impunity

Glenn Greenwald is one of the best at pointing out the rank hypocrisy of the USG, his blog is up there with the very best, i don't agree with him on everything, he's a liberal of some stripe, but he's still one of my favourite commentators.

[pjamesbda]

Those of us who lived thru the pardon of Nixon, and the events following it, that bear the direct scar tissue of those events know the lies could not be pardoned. The majority of people in OWS are finally feeling the aftermath of that corruption, and we endorse them and join them in their efforts.

BLOOMBERG IS A RETARD, WHY WOULD ANBODY BELIEVE THIS B.S..........

[BeortheMad]

@MrCeleron44 Name calling is the last refuge of the desperate.

[MrCeleron44]

@BeortheMad HOW ABOUT YOUR A RETARD, MAYBE U SHOULD WIPE BLOOMBERGS MAN JUICE OFF YOUR CHIN AND GET OUT FROM UNDER HIS DESK. CUM GUZZLER...

[BeortheMad]

@MrCeleron44 I'm not defending Bloomberg, I'm just pointing out that you should take a deep breath and chill, didn't your mother teach you anything?

[dwdeclare]

i like what amy said, that the occupy protesters are conscientious objectors to an unjust economic system

[SpaceCadet929]

im from tx. it is very racist here.the majority of the blacks have felonies for petty crimes.they get them as soon as they turn 17.with a felony you cannot work..imagine what the average 30-40yr black man endures in tx.they are killing off off . it's like slow genocide, the people who make the laws are friends and relatives of the ones who own the prisons.its a vicious cycle.

[MenOfLetters]

Glenn's the finest American journalist. Can't wait to read his book.

[rextrek]

ahh I see- smoke a joint - and get arrested...........ruin america's banking system and economy - GET AWAY WITH IT

[Alpinex105]

Its not economically viable. The current economic system is largely dependant on middle class consumers. Take away purchasing power, domestic labour and business markets and you take away the backbone of American society.
