The Resident -- What would OWS protesters say to Wall St and Washington?

[356pla]

Join the mob and fight.

[356pla]

Notice they demand help from those they disparage?

[bradq]

George Washington wrote about the gold standard. How they were all having a hard time paying their bills without the gold. and once they went back on the gold standard things smoothed out for every one. behind every world problem lies the banks

[356pla]

@bradq Banking, one of the most regulated sectors of the marketplace, has been the instrument co-opted and used by governments since the beginning of time, to feed a political machine. Like people, banks find what is to their best advantge in the enviroment they find themselves in.

[bradq]

@356pla true enough. but banks are merely an idea. the people i see living in the woods and by the river or in their cars are real. i guess it is true they are living in the best environment they could find. myself i live in the woods in a trailer. is ok in the summer but in the winter not so good. the snow is getting closer every day.

thanks and bless.

[metnoc10]

GOGOGO, De la Vega, I love his message!

[Shonenut213]

Here is what I would tell Wall St. and Washington....

FUCK YOU!!!!

[Chino1207]

Also these people,who look for handouts,have no consideration for the people who live there,

[Chino1207]

Yeah,they think of others,those knuckleheads stopped serving gourmet food to the less fortunates than themselves,namely the homeless camping out with them,bunch of commie hypocrites

[code933k]

Stop removing sense out of everything by labeling all life with stupid acronyms! OWS? Really?

[BothKindsofCool]

They might be a community that shares their resources, but all of these resources are donated by someone who earns money. Also, I don't want the government having anything to do with my health.

[drysift]

Lori is so hot because she's smart and has an open mind! I need to find a girl like that.

[g2000m]

OWS power of the people for the people!!!

[greenman92553]

Listening to these idiots, i can see that the Masters have nothing to worry about

[skinnydiprog3r]

Anyone know what happened to Luke Rudowski? (wearechange) he was uploading a ton of OWS videos and then he randomly stopped

[europa]

"exploit for profit" vague slogan..."greedy" what about the govt? the biggest monopoly in history? who grants this fascist corporatism

[PURELOVECREW]

RT..your host is absolutely Beautiful...well done.

[Wrothchild]

@PURELOVECREW you're a douche, congratulations!!

[eyeswideopennimrod]

I wish the Socialistic / Communistic demands would stop, cos every time the people demand the government provide them jobs, medical care, food etc etc they are asking for a communist state where the government provides everything. Now we do not need look far to see what communism offers. We need to fix the broken capitalist system and kick the bankers out of politics along with big business and lets get back to making society work.

[DonQuixotedeKaw]

@eyeswideopennimrod

If that's what you're hearing, then you're not listening.

It's the fact that capitalism is extinct,

under the corporate/usury theocratic fascist plutarchy,

that keeps people with a lesser avarice addiction,

from the normalcy of taking care of themselves.

It might be inherently democratically socialist,

to insist that the criminal class stop being rewarded for their thievery,

& that neglected infrastructure be maintained,

but it is NOT within a realm of sanity; "communist".

[MissileD11]

The OWS movement is going to end soon. Time to find another "fake" story to talk about RT.

[yaahme]

End the FED and to do this Elect Ron Paul 2012!

Obama is a Wall Streeter and is not what he claims - look at his increased WAR record, increased TAS, and on and on versus what he preaches = LIAR!

[mortifercain]

they dont want that they want to ship all our jobs over sea's and tell us the millionaires are responsible for creating the most jobs and just sit tight for the trickle down effect. i say to wall street. listen to the drums!! the patriots are awake

[mortifercain]

I love most how our government is supposed to protect us from tyrants yet we have more millions of dollars in this country than we have citizen the interest off the money alone could pay out divides checks to all our people to pay for free rent for our whole life's

[52bladesdork]

bring jobs back to the usa from china and stop buying shit made by slave labor! We are a cheap import society and when you buy crap made in other countries in a country that loses about 800 billion a year to slave labor products you are helping fist fuck your community.

[dd00hli]

The so called progressive leftists need to give back the term liberal to the libertarians. Anachro-capitalism is the only answer to fabian socialism in the US.

[Zeppathy]

RT's ladies are way hotter than Fox's old bags,

[Textynn]

Goldman sachs will NEVER change but the rest of us , together, can take this country from them, fire them, nationalize the banks and banking and end these wars and go gung ho into alternative energy. Letting the International Oil elites control this planet is a billions times more dangerous than any terrorists ever could be.

[JewTube001]

This is a re-run. 

[thekingkr3w]

FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT DOG THAT GOT MURDERED/GUNNED DOWN BY A "POLICE OFFICER" AT A PROTEST!!

THANKS -AJ

[KalanYore]

For the naysayers' opposition to protesting against a global system that no longer serves & falls into illusion & is failing even for the elite cabalists that is dying.

Change can happen with the unified efforts of these protests...look at Greece's PM had defy his own parliment in his own words;

"We will not implement any program by force, but only with the consent of the Greek people," he said. "This is our democratic tradition and we demand that it is also respected abroad."

[j2201987]

End the fed, end the illegal wars (on drugs, on terrorism, etc), end the greed and corruption, end these alphabet soup bureaucracies, end the existing tax code and create a new one from scratch, and back THEE fuck out of the free market and serve we the people.

[Duja1014]

The problem : People want too much... which leads to big government and big problems. End collectivism, bring back the constitution and tribalism

[lickdacat2]

Did she deliberately look for other morons like her?

It is about the Federal Reserve and the Big Banks ripping off our nation.

The Rothschild Banking Mafia! Next time find somebody with an IQ over 70 to interview.

[toknowandgrow]

What people don't realize..at least to address the health care issue for everyone. Modern medicine is very costly, because it treats only the problem and ignores the root causes. How do you have socialized medicine in a country where millions smoke cigs on a daily basis, eat massive amounts of poorly raised meat and generally told the wrong information on health. My real point is that we are starting to tackle an issue that is WAY larger than we know, its changing us as we attempt to change it!

[livewithsin]

Socialist and communists who aren't willing to work for what they have. These people are what's wrong with this country.

[Eldwinn]

@livewithsin way to generalize bro...

[livewithsin]

@Eldwinn it's just that's all I'm hearing from that group, you don't see them trying to make life better for themselves, they're calling for more government, more socialism and if I'm generalizing, then fine, but my point is you're seeing anyone calling for less government, for them holding Washington and the Obama administration accountable. You didn't see these people up in arms when the banks and Wall street were bailed out.

[reb618]

Sounds like they're interested in socialism to me.

[Taylor2221T]

Hello Lori! She' adorable.

[456manny1]

We R just flushing the u.s. toilet now......I hope more sheeple wake up..........

[vladdrac88]

To Washington, I would say, get a brain. To Wall Street I'd say get a heart. When "Revolutions" get violent, the old political elite generally gets slaughtered. The rich are merely robbed and murdered. They seem to be trying to get themselves butchered. The ruling elites own and control the media that makes public perceptions of what it means to be an American and how we are viewed by the rest of the world. Count the number of medium and small wars since Vietnam. We were involved in almost all.

[vladdrac88]

@vladdrac88 And it has been about resources, not just oil but food as well. OK In low tech world there is no technological way out. Now there is, but the rich are happy getting what there getting from what their capital is invested in. Lets get out that old "Military Draft" spirit only this time we do not "Draft Men" for "War", we "Draft Capital". To what end?. Why to become the richest nation in history, with the world glad to pay us for ending poverty on earth via really new technology. :)

[knivesmcgraw]

Communist, socialist, leftist, rightist, upist, downist, sort-of-over-thereist they are all there at the OWS movement. Do you want socialist healthcare, I don't, this is America land of the free and brave (well if you have a permit) if you can't afford healthcare it's not my problem I'm looking out for number one (well me and the red, white and blue). Keep the free world safe from these atheist communist socialist parasites that are wanting a fairer world. By the way all this was sarcasm.

[admiralcrash1]

@knivesmcgraw Spoken like a true proletariat, Tovarishch. :-D

[CommanderMattShepard]

ows supports universal health care? idiots..........

[bradq]

Holy smokes. How naive can People get? Insurance? Health care? People seem to know nothing about economy and government.

How about, um, what happened to all out gold? Or, why is government run like a corporation? etc etc etc.

[HouseofVespucci]

@bradq ? gold ?

[bradq]

@HouseofVespucci gold. if there is nothing backing our money then the PTB can manipulate our economy into what it is right now. i am sure there are other ways. but we did lose about 400 million dollars in gold in 1933 and traded it all for paper. see: "HJR 192". "federal reserve act", "creature from jeckel island", etc

[fallenempireoverdrve]

@bradq Also Winston Churchill said that switching to the gold standard was what bankrupted England

[InMooseWeTrust]

@fallenempireoverdrve Yeah, because England couldn't afford another war. Switching to fiat currency ensured that no one could ever afford anything again, because everything in the world is financed by debt.

[MrAubery]

I loved the resident since before she was on RT & still love 'er!

[BigBagsForRent]

I dunno why but I always imagine the resident with real perky nipples. Like super perky and hard.

[BloodMech21]

@BigBagsForRent wut?

[BigBagsForRent]

@BloodMech21 I SAID: I DUNNO WHY BUT I ALWAYAS IMAGINE THE RESIDENT WITH REAL PERKY NIPPLES.

[BloodMech21]

@BigBagsForRent HOT

[fonkymaster]

Oh, and WTF is the deal with these right wing retards in the comments?

[vladdrac88]

@fonkymaster Don't feel to bad. My brother in law lives with us and lectures me on the righteousness of Capitalism, personal responsibility etc. Hasn't contributed a dime to the household in three years. Its a good thing I have a sense of humor or I'd be in jail on a variety of charges stemming from loss of temper.

[fonkymaster]

@vladdrac88

I would confront him about that.

[fonkymaster]

Fuck You is what I'd say

[CraigKramer]

I'm honestly shocked at the level of utter stupidity. Its really breathtaking.

[Armando7654]

you guys cannot to this day come up with a single DEMAND! HA HA HA HA

that's really embarrassing.

.

.

- yesterday it was: "what's your demanand?" and there was no answer

- today it's: what's ur MESSAGE to "the wallstreet"? My message isn't to them!

HA HA HA HA HA

then what the fuck are you doing on wallstreet if you don't want anything from them, nor have anything to say to them!!! LMAO ?????!!!

Envious, Greedy LOSERS - that's all you are & it shows HA HA HA

[YouBeMadlol]

@Armando765 haha I didn't wanna say anything but TROLLING FAIL.

[labartic]

a shame all these people have socialism as their goal instead of freedom. dumbasses have no idea whats going on. im so sick of retarded socialists who have no clue whats going on.

[howardb42006]

Great job Lori. Thanks. RT rocks.

[SuperAnnoyingtroll]

"Got any spare change?"

[YouBeMadlol]

Ron Paul in disguise. 1:06

[pwih1987]

Resource based economy is the only way.

[alita589]

@pwih1987 how does a resource based economy work?

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@alita589 Question "how does a resource based economy work?" It dosent! Its basically communisim with a new marketing plan and a new name.

[HouseofVespucci]

@pwih1987 ?

[pwih1987]

@HouseofVespucci

A resource based economy is the only way to get the power into the hands of the people. Google it. Its amazing. Ok yes we can try with a monetary economy but the ONLY way that will work is if two things happen. 1. Ron Paul becomes president. 2. We do not allow the fucks at the top to kill Dr. Paul. 3. We all work together and not be greedy fucks.

I mean come on...what do you guys really want out of life? I just wanna live in a world where people are not starving to death

[HouseofVespucci]

@pwih1987 interesting but Ron Paul doesn't really want to dismantle the free market, but the government. if you were to say dismantle the free market and then implement the resource based economy that would've been interesting. it seems with a resource based economy you actually would want a government to handle human nature, scarcity and greed are two sides of coin. but some greedy people like to steal for the sake of stealing, unless you plan to RFID folks lol

[pwih1987]

@HouseofVespucci

and smoke some fucking bomb ass weeed. I cant stop people from getting raped and robbed. But we can stop hunger and pointless war. Ron PAUL 2012. INDUSTRIAL HEMP FORVER!!! Industrrial hemp is NOT marijuana. Do some research before you speak. And they do not come from the same plant. Industrial hemp and marijuana cannot be grown next to each other.

[HouseofVespucci]

@pwih1987 happy 4 u and industrial hemp. r & r  and h & p are two sides of a coin...all about the human nature glad u agree

[HouseofVespucci]

@pwih1987 Oh last one--check out OBAMA 2012 and google the hate crime legislation he implemented recently lmao

[plalelal]

@HouseofVespucci Allowing different rights for different classes of people is wrong. The same laws should apply to all equally. In my county the cops and judges and court staff can come and go thru non public doors while the public gets x rayed and has to empty their pockets and can not carry a cell phone in. If you forget it will be stolen, oops conficated and you will be charged with a crime! Absolute lunacy!

[HouseofVespucci]

@plalelal hmmm rights? classes? safety oh yeah safety is important and protection against hate crimes and this law applies to all of people. most people in an emergency will dial 911 for help--yeah cops steal and so do fellow citizens. free market with or without government creates economic classes, people not the free market create ideas about skin tone, age, religion to reinforce their own wealth disparity--that's not always the wealthy that pit one person against another.

[spokewhilehecould]

The "people" or rather "entities" whatever they are - in Washington with elite globalist bankers, are pathological liars. They collude to financially rape, since at least 1913 with their tool Woodhead Wilson, when the bastards formed the non Federal non Reserve to rape the country and world. Their heads would look interesting on long spikes overlooking the cities they pillaged, while birds peck and defecate upon them just as they did to humanity for years.

[silversobe]

Exploitation of others is rewarded by our system..

[MJ2012ish]

Rt already made thia video i saw it last week

[SeppLainer]

Capitalist systems do not socialize losses, and privatize gains. Bailouts and central planned bubbles are not capitalism. We live in a fascist system. You cannot change definitions to suite your cause. Capitalism is not the problem, fascism is.

So, what shall we replace fascism with? More of the same? Communism?

The problem is not capitalism, the SOLUTION is. What other system has enriched the COMMON PEOPLE more than pure-FREE CAPITALISM?

Certainly not communism, socialism, or autocracy....

[atosafi1]

@SeppLainer Corporatism is a direct result of unfettered, deregulated, market fundamentalism. As Karl Popper said "If the government does not intervene to control the markets, other shady organizations, such as trusts, multi-national predators and political extremes, will." If you let markets run amok, there is nothing stopping them from banding together to create monopolies, infiltrating government to pass favourable laws and crushing the middle- and working-class.

[SeppLainer]

@atosafi1

No sir,

Corporatism (facism) is a direct result of excessive power held by the state. Who enables fascism? It's not the people. It's the state. The state now independently creates laws, despite what the public desire. We are not a democracy, nor a republic, we are a fascist state controlled by government.

The fascist elites in bed with the state can only thrive by taking advantage of this system, as competition in a truly unfettered market would put them out of business.

[atosafi1]

@SeppLainer I'm not denying that private corporations have seized control of the government and our public institutions, but the solution is not more of the same neoliberal politics that espouse deregulation of our economy, privatization of our public assets and services, tax cuts for the rich and benefit cuts for the poor.

The solution is to establish a strongly regulated, mixed economy with cooperation between unions, companies and government. That is what built this country after WW2.

[spokewhilehecould]

@SeppLainer This is truth.

[SeppLainer]

@atosafi1

May I also add, government intervention never benefits society. It only benefits the ones who, ironical, people think need to be intervened upon. It's a joke. It's like hiring the police to catch criminals, and then finding out the cops and robbers are bloody mates in on it together.

[atosafi1]

@SeppLainer Any proof to back that claim up? Or is it just mindless blabbering and verbal diarrhea?

[SeppLainer]

@atosafi1

Do you have any proof to the contrary? Because I do have plenty of proof of intervention hurting society, yet I cannot prove a negative. No one can. I can point out a few instances of intervention causing society great problems. Hoover's diet-fascism, gov intervention is what made a correction into a recession.

And then we have FDR, the most intervention in the market, ever, prior to Bush and Obama. FDR's policies and fettering clearly prolonged and worsened the depression.

[atosafi1]

@SeppLainer As for FDR, any proof to back that claim up?

Economic growth and employment levels increased for four successive years as New Deal policies were pursued by FDR. When government spending was slashed in '37 due to concerns about the budget deficit, all the gains were lost in one year, and growth only resumed after spending increased again from '38, as a response to the growing acceptance of the case for deficit spending in a recession.

[SeppLainer]

@atosafi1

Sir,

The economic growth and employment were fictitious. Government cannot create sustainable jobs without robbing the public sector, enforcing tyrannical rule, and printing or borrowing endless money. Unsustainable.

Sir, are you aware of what happened in 1921? 1946? Deficit spending merely prolongs and worsens the correction. Had Hoover and FDR not intervened and took massive control of the economy, perhaps the Great Depression would have never occurred.

[atosafi1]

@SeppLainer Had FDR not intervened, the US would have been plunged into fascism.

Corporations try to maximize profits in the short-term and therefore want lower wages, lower taxes and worse conditions, which leads to less demand, which leads to smaller profits, which leads to corporations firing people/driving down wages in order to uphold profit-margins, etc.

An equilibrium is created, with high unemployment and low economic activity. The only way to get out is through government intervention

[SeppLainer]

@atosafi1

You are basically saying FDR saved us from plunging into fascism by implementing......fascism?

[atosafi1]

@SeppLainer In your opinion, probably, since you consider government intervention in any way, shape or form to inevitably lead to bonegrinding poverty, autocratic dictatorship, misery and repression.

Friedrich von Hayek much?

[SeppLainer]

@atosafi1

Intervention in "any way"? No sir, the intervention taken was purely fascist. There are some forms of intervention that are very much the government's role...Such as enforcement of contracts, and staying neutral. It is because the government got involved in the housing market, that led to the bubble and subsequent burst. And it was the government's bailouts that have led us to more debt, wasted money, higher inflation, and a lingering recession.

[atosafi1]

@SeppLainer As I said, dogmatic dismissal of government intervention won't get you anywhere except to the marginalized, fringe right-wing

You would be hard pressed to find people who would see the New Deal as a fascist intervention. It was a program that consisted of thousands of different measures, ranging from investment in public infrastructure, purchasing orders at companies and war production to stronger labour rights and trade unions so as to create purchasing power and a will to consume

[agelessrocker]

RT should do a story about the Russian Police arresting the election protesters today.

[slytherinspy1960]

i am so proud of all those that are occupying. keep fighting!

[xxcrossed]

i like Anna she is right they are a dick !

[imRyRy]

Although I support OWS, I dislike those who only have a vague idea of what they're fighting for. This political ignorance of "rich people iz bad" is unfounded. OWS is a movement against political corruption that occurs when corporations bribe politicians through campaign funds. It's also about tax equality, and patching up the tax loop-holes.

Ignorance is not strength. Learn what you're fighting for or risk the demise and the subversion of the movement.

[AveragePope]

I want to do that lady.
