TERRORIST because I'm not with Bush.

ANTISEMITIC for not supporting Rothschild Zionism.

TEABAGGER for supporting the Constitution.

TRUTH-ER for asking unanswered questions.

TRAITOR for whistle-blowing on my corrupt Government.

CONSPIRACY THEORIST for presenting documented facts.

TROLL for uploading news, videos, quotes and U.S.Atrocities.

ANTI-AMERICAN for supporting Constitutionalists like Dr. Ron Paul.

RON PAUL 2012!

[1rendezvous]

goods made overseas r from US companies,the labor is chinese only,the company is american. u wonder why chinese tax(25%)US goods there,it's a payoff us to them for screwing thr environment/cheap labor;then we tax 2% coming here which is good for US ceo/stock holders-they reap:savings using non-union slave labor vs sell price of any product say ipad probably few bucks to manufacture but we pay $299!The deficit/debt gets bigger coz taxpayers subsidizing US free trader greeds! &Jobs gets new liver!

[1rendezvous]

keep in mind the simple fact: a worker sells his labor; how much is that labor worth? without workers, the greeds don't have a company! so instead of paying a worker-an American-a decent livable wage, they ship the jobs overseas, payoff the corrupt gov'ts like the Chinese (u wonder why Roddenberry created the Ferenghis in StarTrek) to hire thr citizens on the cheap, in turn, American CEO pays himself millions in salary/stock options!

[1rendezvous]

the small group of capitalists-banks,pharma,oil,e­tc-"also control the legal and political system". If workers rebel, "the capitalists call on the power of the state to subdue them." Class struggle can only end "when members of working class unite & violently break their chains of bondage. This revolution will usher n a classless society, one free of exploitation. People will work according to thr abilities & receive goods and services according to their needs".

Look at the scoreboard ............31 years after Reagan and all his Free Mkt geniuses ! Are we better off after putting the wolves in the henhouse ? Theres a price for indulging in illusion and fantasy ........THE PRESENT REALITY !

which I am afraid will get much worse . read this : The Cancer Stage of Capitalism

america is turning into a police state and a socialist state at the same time. AWESOME!

[clownprince88]

Goldman looks pretty cheap right now, of course it's not the most advantageous time to get in because of the attention WS is getting, but why not buy some shares and join in on the fun, even on a layman's level, i'm sure you could realize a 3/4 profit.

The whole economy was always a casino of sorts but stocks and bonds are still the most stable of investments.

Their dividend is piss poor poor though so this a pure price play

[RickCuddihey]

The cop was an asshole.  End of story.

[onlythewise1]

@romeobaron01 your some thing else, the world is the same as its been for one million years, no system does much of anything its the people in them .bla bla bla is a polyticies game, your a policitical talker and dont know it. only system works is the one with all good people which never has even been or will. changeing things is good but you will only temperary change it, it will go back to the same way, your only ass good as the people in the country.

[lspmd2]

A new beginning is the start of a beginning's end. A Resource Based Economy is that new beginning. Birthing pains can get pretty tense but hang in there kids. I'm so very excited. Is anyone from TZM/TVP planning to attend? I'd love to hear about your experience. Celebrities joining in like Sue Sarandon = this is GREAT. We must take advantage of this opportunity.  Best of luck 2 all of us in introducing a new possibility and this generation is open enuf to 'get it'. I support u guys-Mamma D

Those police using pepper spray should be fired without any doubt, very unprofessional...a bad apple spoils the whole batch and set a REAL bad example....but hey, the world is watching and there WILL be change, it's coming, it's happening.

[onlythewise1]

@romeobaron01 wrong but i can see your brainwashed into it, systems arent the problem it the ones who screw it up . its the crimnals and shits who screw ,cheat ,lie and steal and greedy bad lawyers who number in the millions. no matter what system you do its the people in it .again shit for brains dont talk like the rest of the idiots we wil alway shave crap if people are like you. you talk like the typical politician.

[thenoorys]

@onlythewise1 You're not making any sense. Greedy criminal lawyers, politicians etc.. What do you think they're greedy for? Lettuce?? No. MONEY fool. You're the classic case of someone who likes to talk about the symptoms without talking about the problems.

[onlythewise1]

@thenoorys no ,thats exactely what your doing , your talking the symptoms, greedy is bad you get rid of bad but that's ok, it 's so far above your tiny brain it would be a waste of time trying to explain it to someone like you . hey dont forget to chick my spelling might be few misstyped words you can talk about to  ,small brained idiots are dime a dozen like you .

[thenoorys]

@onlythewise1 Like I thought. I lost you at "you're". Nice cop out though.

[onlythewise1]

@thenoorys your or you're were in to ten year old talk now ,that's the highest you can get ,thought so

[onlythewise1]

@romeobaron01 bla bla bla blow it out your ass ,it been tried dont work, its the corrupt people who screw it up every time

[jmjfanss]

And this is the same scumbag sanders who watered down the audit the fed bill, that is wrong.

[jmjfanss]

END THE FED!

[TheScotthutch]

It's already been shown that communism AND socialism do the same. The political class controls. The earth is like a tax farm and sheeple the livestock producing the taxes, no ending that.

Capitalism happened in both China and the USSR because they could not prevent the people from participating in capitalism. When capitalism happened in those two countries, so much wealth was created that it helped form the housing bubble in the US. End the Fed, we'll end our problems.

[thenoorys]

@TheScotthutch You're full of shit. Many Russians and East end Germans will tell you life way easier despite the fact they had tyrannical rulers. Tyrannical rulers aren't a necessary part of communism and socialism look up libertarian communism and stop drinking the corporate cool aid and all the mamon worship (oh holy money and the market please save thou wretched soul and allow thou to tower above all others!).

[TheScotthutch]

@thenoorys If it's an easy life you're looking for, you will never be satisfied, huh? Witness the wealthiest nation on earth. 65% of us are homeowners even after the meltdown. 45 MN get foodstamps, 50% pay no inc taxes. In the U.S. "poor" people have a car, internet service, a tv, heat and cooling, dishwasher etc. Congress can't even agree to squat & you have no control, you could never implement this experimental commie society, after you ruin our economy by removing the right to own property.

[thenoorys]

@TheScotthutch That illusion of wealth and prosperity was built on the backs of other nations. Through mass exploitation capitalism has "boom" cycles, but with every down cycle more and more is privatized and concentrated in the hands of the few. This great nation you think to be a product of capitalism is about to turn into capitalist ravaged country sides of those 3rd world places you call "socialist" 

[TheScotthutch]

@thenoorys The boom and bust cycle is caused by the Fed artificially setting interest rates. Interest rates are the price of money and cheap money causes bad investment decisions, not only by homebuyers buying more than they can afford, but real estate people expecting it to appreciate overnight, and ceo's & investment bankers leveraging companies 40 to 1. Ron Paul, having studied Austrian not Keynesian economics, predicted the bust many times beginning in 2001. msnbc vid watch?v=n6V8N8Um9Q4

[thenoorys]

@TheScotthutch Boom and bust cycles existed before the Fed. The Fed is a private corporation that simply played by the rules of capitalism. And actually, banks make their own money

That's how BoA can do what they just did---move 1.5x the entire world's GDP under the FDIC-insured umbrella so that when they collapse they take everyone down with them



The Fed didn't print 1.5x the entire world's GDP in dollars

[TheScotthutch]

@thenoorys Any busts before the Fed came by drought or plant epidemic, we were agrarians. I've seen Bernanke, Geithner, and Alan Greenspan saying that interest rates were the cause of both the 2000 stock market bubble, and the most recent housing bubble. Argue with them. The fact remains, you have no chance of bringing your experiment after you convince our government to take our property and rights. North Korea is the only commie nation left, why not move there if you think it so benevolent.

[thenoorys]

@TheScotthutch North Korea was never communist that's why. Do some real research and you will see that communism is a stateless society. Marx in his manifesto suggested that first there must be a "laborers state" in order to make the shift. But he didn't come up with communism and us anarchist disagree with his analysis, the state leads to nationalism like you see in Korea, and it's leading America down the same path, capitalist or not doesn't matter

[TheScotthutch]

@thenoorys Do some real research yourself, and show me one commie, socialist, or even anarchist society that remained stateless for more than one year. The reason is that government is ultimate power. There will never be a stateless society because somebody will always seize that power, even corporations by campaign contributions. That's why we're better off shooting for minimalism. Cut back the military and other out of control kudzu in our gov't, & nationalists will have nothing to control.

[JRMCNEA]

You file a grievance and when the official way doesn't address you grievance you protect. why would you need a permit to protest? do we need a permit to drag the officials out of their offices and homes and shot them? A permit needed for a protest makes it less of a protest and more of a public gathering. The 2 are not the same.

[1rendezvous]

Karl Marx founder of class conflict: n each society,some small group controls means of production & EXPLOITS those who r not n control! It's a Struggle for Power & it's inevitable that, when employers don't want to hire or wall st keeps picking our pockets,etc, workers must FORCE concessions from the greedy pigs!Repubs hijacked "class warfare" to mean workers "taking" from the greedy pigs,but it's really workers who shud be screaming "class warfare"!That's what protestors shud b screaming!

[northwestblazinfire]

Capitilism has gotten out of hand. I agree with Ron Paul on so much however his belief that the free market will be like God and save us all. Thats BS, seriously. We need something drastic to happend, the blood of tyrants must water the tree of liberty. A few years ago this seemed extreme, however now it seems likley .

[x6mj]

@northwestblazinfire Paul's msg is not about magical easy answers, like all the rest. the free market is only as perfect as those that participate in it. society will always be flawed. But the only true way for society to grow is through learning from our consequences and the freedom to choose to change. The only way to fix the economy is for us all to stop supporting corporatism, and start working for our selves. Use the free market to empower u're self, and support those that support u.

[Demosthenes0725]

@1140Cecile It is unfortunate that what the left will never understand is that there's a world of ifference between free market Capitalism vs. Corporatism--they are just as different as Democracy is to Fascism. Capitalism means the consumers control the market, competition acts as it's own regulatory system & keeps cost down. But that isn't anything like even the last 100 years, which has been a rigged market w/o competition controlled by an oligopoly that hires Reps to lower corporate taxes...

[AndrewRayGorman]

@nsr20de1 um. They are the ones that started it, and the ones that are leading it.

[shaolonbros]

People he said it, 6 major banks own 60 percent of us assets. Does that tell you anything? WTF is going on. AUDIT THE FED stop the BAILOUTS, vote Ron Paul and get let's get shit done. Start spreading the word.

[Cerulean0987]

@shaolonbros Fuck Ron Paul, he advocates for a system that is not applicable to our modern era.

[shaolonbros]

@Cerulean0987 Your modern era? You mean the one where banks rule your leaders on a monetary system that is made out of thin air. Ok....genius. The only other system that would be better to look at is the Resource based economy shown in Zietgiest that has been worked on for over 75 years. Aside from that..yeah Id rather have my freedoms and a modern 1776. You stick with the status quo, and when your jobless and penniless...ill say it was you who fucked Ron Paul.

[Cerulean0987]

As opposed to your era where everyone is carrying a gun and shooting anyone who infringes upon your rights? Anarchy with no order, no moral ethics, or no foreign policy with a me me me policy? It is isolationism at its best. Isolationism, might I remind you, led to the Great Depression, and a reduction in socially responsible policy

[shaolonbros]

@Cerulean0987 For real? You think everyone in 1776 was toting a gun and shooting everyone.. what do they teach kids these years. To answer your question..yes Id rather have a gun to use to defend my freedoms then be suppressed by those who carry them and never get my freedoms back. It's ridiculous to say Ron Paul being a president would give everyone a gun and have anarchy. Ridiculous at best. Lastly, google Great Depression and Federal Reserve. Ron Paul will audit them by the way.

[Cerulean0987]

Dude. The Great Depression was arguably caused by American isolationism at that time. America decided to institute a policy of high tariffs to restrict imports to both gain revenue and discourage foreign imports. Pissed off, other nations followed suit resulting in a global shift toward increase tariffs and collectively discouraging imports. I've studied economics in college and I am currently a business major.. No need to look it up on Wikipedia. Respond to this video...

[shaolonbros]

@Cerulean0987 Guess who else knows economics? Peter Schiff. Economics major.. so I shouldn't need to tell you about the damage the federal reserve has done to the economy. i shouldnt need to argue the good money is when it is backed up with something fiat other than a computer and a keyboard. And your also telling me you are going to say the Great Depression was caused by one thing? For a guy with a brain, I'm surprised I hear a one liner from you saying "fuck Ron Paul".Again, its your freedom

[ytgv3fc7]

@shaolonbros Zeitgeist is a fraud and offers NO RESOURCE BASED ECONOMY. Instead it offers global slavery & central control (communism) of all resources, no rights or ownership ever again, no laws (murder is now legal) and pretends this is RBE. It is not RBE. In Canada we have real RBE: resources are money, resources are traded for gain/value. That's real RBE. Venus Project is a fraud. Zeitgeist is a fraud. RBE really works but they use a fraud definition for RBE to promote global slavery

[ytgv3fc7]

@Cerulean0987 fuck the "modern era" it's built on fraud & slavery. Removing it is key.

[ytgv3fc7]

@Cerulean0987 fuck the "modern era" it's built on fraud & slavery. Removing it is key.

[shaolonbros]

Dont let the meaning of the occupation get hijacked like the teaparty! This is against bailouts and corporate Americans taking your tax money and staying rich! Remember that!

[rolovolo]

Occupy the Planet!

[fivestarmichael]

Ron Paul is our last hope. Don't be suckered by people who want more government. Government is the problem not the solution.

[AndrewRayGorman]

@fivestarmichael Ron Paul would do nothing concerning what is going on here. He still supports draconian measures against the 99% of Americans. The only thing good about him is his anti-war and anti-CIA/FBI stance.

Also, this movement has nothing to do with political action (aka voting). Do not co-opt it. Instead there have been a huge amount of support from unions, from anti-capitalists, and from those against privatization.

[fivestarmichael]

@AndrewRayGorman "This action has nothing to do with political action" Which is why; 1) It is meaningless and it will change nothing, because the real problem is our bloated, corrupt big-government. 2) Ron Paul suggests a lot less government.

Wall Street and Bankster took $800 billion dollars. Who gave it to them? Who said you can gamble away billions of dollars but we will bail you out anyway? Big Government. Let Wall Street pay the price for their own risk and the gambling will stop.

[fivestarmichael]

@AndrewRayGorman The measures Ron Paul suggests? Stop the crony-capitalism. Stop bailing out banks and they will stop gambling with your money. Stop giving the government which is controlled by lobbyist so much power and money and you neuter the power of lobbyist. Stop the wars, stop the corruption and there will be enough money to pay entitlements.

Those of you on the Left only propose giving the gov. more power which = more corruption.

[AndrewRayGorman]

Listen, the socialists were the ones to BEGIN this movement.

The only ones trying to hijack this movement are the capitalists.

One easy way to see they don't support these occupations - go the Andrew Brietbart's web page and see the comments relating to this. Also, look at Libertarian commentary on it.

I can ASSURE you that this is focused on ending what Wall St. has done to the people. End stock trading and corporate handouts to offshoring corporations!

[fivestarmichael]

@AndrewRayGorman How well is Socialism working out in; Greece, Spain, Italy and Ireland? These Socialist countries are about the drag the entire E.U. into total economic collapse. And the world economy with it. The problem with Socialism is eventually you run out of other peoples' money to spend... and right now Germany is starting to run out of money. Socialism is circling the drain and you think Socialism is the answer for America?

[AndrewRayGorman]

@fivestarmichael The IMF and Goldman Sachs, responsible for the crisis in said countries, are not institutions of socialism. Socialism only entails workers commonly owning and democratically managing the means of production.

[fivestarmichael]

@AndrewRayGorman You just made my point for me. The IMF and Goldman Sachs did not force these grossly over-sized governments to keep borrowing themselves into insolvency. Socialism is a disease and when you give it more money and power the disease spreads. Like a tumor that kills it's host. The best way to kill a tumor is to cut off the blood supply. Stop giving National wealth to these banksters and they will shrink and hopefully die. Stop feeding the beast. Ron Paul 2012!

[ytgv3fc7]

@fivestarmichael "The IMF and Goldman Sachs did not force these grossly over-sized governments to keep borrowing themselves into insolvency"

Yes they did. That's all they do to every nation. That's their sole purpose.

Socialism is a cure for a disease: that disease is poor planning in the short-term.

[fivestarmichael]

@ytgv3fc7 The Left always acts like they are the victim. The IMF did not force Socialist countries or America to borrow trillions of dollars. Socialism is the essence of poor economic planning. Borrowing money to maintain social programs that are breaking the backs of the private economy. The social programs Socialist countries propose are unsustainable without borrowing. Do you blame the mafia when some degenerate gambler borrows more money than he can pay back?

[ytgv3fc7]

@fivestarmichael Ya they did, they stole & bankrupted nations then they came in &offered loans.It was all criminal, all by force, including guns. This has nothing to do with socialism. I blame the mafia for stealing someone's money first, which they did, then offering them a chance to get a loan, which they did. That's what the IMF does. It is never starting with the loan. Never.

[berserker1776]

bernie sanders thinks its a left movement, it ain't left or right stop hijacking movements !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I personally don't like Oberman at all or most all Politicians, for I think that they are all corrupt, bought out, and liars! I say that Ron Paul is our last hope!

@ShadowCrashed81 Not really, it's happening nation-wide from New York to Los Angeles.

The revolution is just beginning and growing fast.

[fivestarmichael]

@ShadowCrashed81 It is going to die down because it isn't really going after the real problem. Wall Street isn't broken, our political system is broken. Wallstreet is a symptom, not the disease.

[1140Cecile]

@fivestarmichael I think you've got it ass backwards. Capitalism IS the disease and corrupt government is the symptom. Money controls the system...any system. When money is held in relative equal distribution amongst the people then the people control their government. When money is held disproportionately by a small percentage of the people then that small percentage will control the government. The inevitable result of Capitalism is that the wealth will eventually be held by a minority.

[fivestarmichael]

@1140Cecile Marxism has never worked anywhere. We don't stop being slaves, we just have different masters. Under the alternative you propose the government redistributes the wealth. However, it doesn't take long before there is no incentive to make money, quickly the wealth being distributed becomes smaller and smaller. By then we are totally dependent on the gov. and we have become slaves. Who eats? The government decides if your a loyal enough slave. Freedom, Ron Paul 2012!

[shaolonbros]

@fivestarmichael Thanks for telling how it is!! Keep up your good work.

[crsbt]

@1140Cecile

couldnt of said it better.

[fixer1972]

@1140Cecile Government vs. Corporations is a false dichotomy, since the Government is a Corporation. The result is Corporation vs. Corporation. THEY ARE ON THE SAME TEAM! Both exist ultimately to create profits...

How would you, in reality, achieve relative equal distribution?, I don't in-vision this to be possible WITHOUT the use of FORCE. The use of force is violence, especially since a threat of violence is all it takes most times.

[ytgv3fc7]

@1140Cecile Capitalism is not a disease: it is the right to individual ownership & trade. Socialism is the intelligent collective action to prepare for long-term survival of a city, a nation, a species. They belong together. CENTRALIZATION is the disease. Feudal Lordship is the problem.

Centralizing & tolerance to fraud is the problem. We need de-centralizing & executions for theft/fraud.

[Demosthenes0725]

@1140Cecile ...and remove good regulations while hiring Democrats to hand out corporate welfare, enslaving students w/ financial "student aid" that keeps tuition prices artificially high, and prop up bad regulation that chokes out competition for small businesses.

Saying that money is the root of all evil is a very fallacious & simpleminded view. I agree that govn't is a symptom of the problem, but the problem is a lot more complex than that. Corruption comes from consolidation of power...

[Demosthenes0725]

@1140Cecile which is what happened to both business & govn't. This is why the founders emphasized state soveriegnty b/c too much power in any one place is destined to corrupt. Corps are even worse b/c of their 'legal personhood' gives them significantly more power than any business should ever have w/o any of the responsibilities or consequences. This is why there should be no 'group rights,' only individual rights. The people need to realize that consolidation of power is the heart of all this.

[stalker7d7]

@1140Cecile lol, this ain't capitalism...

[thenoorys]

@1140Cecile Bravo. Someone get's it!!

[theeonionbagel]

@1140Cecile That's only if you have very greedy very morally retarded people with the money, and more people should be trying to become rich. if you have socialism where everyone's equal, everyone just becomes equally poor. we have a society of underachievers. all in all i believe the problems are psychological. you have rich people saying what happens to others is none of their problem and you have good people who aren't going after their dreams.

[theeonionbagel]

@theeonionbagel in the soviet union before they collapsed everyone had a job, but they all still had to wait six hours in line for food. they had jobs but they weren't producing anything. they were the jobs government had given. people just have to become stronger and relentlessly keep looking for opportunities, but more importantly people need to make their own so that they can escape the rat race and make the big bucks.im not rich.i make 25 g's a year doing clinical trials.im a lab rat

@ShadowCrashed81 Getting bigger. I'm sorry about your prediction ;)

[Stingerbillion]

Another good thing about teabaggers is, they are relentless. These protestors are not relentless and soon will die down in another week or so.

[Stingerbillion]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with people protesting on WS, but what the hell are their demands? Having multiple demands is laughable because they aren't going to get any. I hate tea party but at least they have their crazy demands: less government and more tax cuts.

These protestors desperately need a leader.

[starkweather444]

@Stingerbillion Who is the tea parties leader again?

[Stingerbillion]

@starkweather444 I have no idea. LOL

[psysprouts]

This is beyond the left/right paradigm. Don't play into it anymore.

[matcotech]

@psysprouts The paradigm shift is about a lot of things. The movement is also about justice and freedom. It's time to be loud and unapologetic. It's time we say we're not going to take it anymore. The corporate welfare and campaign bribes are step number one. We're going to shake the (military, prison, and political) industrial complexes to their core.

[greggh]

@psysprouts No. It's left. It's socialist. And I don't mean that in a bad way. It is what it is.

[northwestblazinfire]

@psysprouts i think this classsifies as a good vs evil battle.

@psysprouts I wish the Left was done with boutique issues like gay marriage--but I'm to skeptical. The funny thing is that if you polled Wall Street bankers 99% would be FOR gay marriage. Money doesn't respect sacred traditions and practices. It just wants to pimp them out and commodify them. They did the same thing with the old institution of marriage--and liberals supported them.

unions and left trying to take over this movement, boo - it is not a left or right issue, not a repub or dem issue - I hate how the media always takes the lead and skews the message, of everything

I love the videos I've thus far seen, they're laughing at the protesters, literally, these people are accomplishing nothing.

Hell, I'd fire the dudes who took off work to do this, that'll open up a few jobs.

@Skybaby79 After we come for the Wall Street traitors who hijacked our economy, you are next. Get on the right side before you get steamrolled.

@Skybaby79 Don't worry, these protests will die down pretty soon. Over the weekend there were a lot of people, but now it's only 200 or so. Soon it'll be 1 person with a sign.

@Stingerbillion There are no excuses left. Either you join the revolt taking place on Wall Street and in the financial districts of other cities across the country or you stand on the wrong side of history. Either you obstruct, in the only form left to us, which is civil disobedience, the plundering by the criminal class on Wall Street and accelerated destruction of the ecosystem that sustains the human species, or become the passive enabler of a monstrous evil.-Chris Hedges

@starkweather444 I support these people, i really do, but they need to have any specific agenda. What are their demands? Teabaggers leader is Dick Armey as well as some fat chick (i don't know her name).

I highly doubt this will last longer than couple of weeks. It will die down and everyone will go back to where ever they came from.

@Stingerbillion

Oh I'm not worried, I'm enjoying watching some of these kids who have spent most of their lives being carried in a basket getting nailed with pepper spray.

It's simply ironic that these morons blame people who have little to no involvement with political offers, rather then hold the governmental officials -They Voted For- accountable for their waste and abuses of the system.

@Skybaby79 votes are dollars not ballots. You voted for nothing if you didn't buy it with dollars.

@North2016 Nah. There too weak to do so

[fivestarmichael]

@North2016 Considering Michael Moore has shown up, I would say they already have.

[fivestarmichael]

@North2016 Thumbs up.... way up.

@North2016 One benefit of the consensus-based assemblies that Occupy Wall Street uses is that they're much harder to co-opt with specific interest group agendas.
