This Beat Down is for Your Health - the Money Party Must Stop Occupy Movements
This Beat Down is for Your Health - the Money Party Must Stop Occupy Movements

By Michael Collins



"The problems we are facing were not created by us, but we deign to shed light on them and so we are blamed for them. The truth is, every person at our protest is there because the system is broken." Samuel Rutledge, Open Newswire, Portland Indymedia
The fascist financiers of the Money Party are growing restless. Occupy Wall Street began with a call to action from the activist online group Anonymous in August. It was barely featured in the mainstream or alternate media. Instead of a small crowd that could easily be ignored then disbursed, fifty thousand citizens showed up at the headquarters for the world financial system, Wall Street. Despite the best efforts of Mayor Bloomberg and NYPD, the Occupy Wall Street continues. The message went out to the country and the world. Now, there are over 100 occupy events in Oakland, Kansas City, Washington, DC, and elsewhere.
-----------
Frequent Money Party propagandist, the New York Times explained away local government police actions against demonstrators as arising "amid growing concerns over health and public safety." Establishment tool, Mayor Sam Adams, used this excuse to attack Occupy Portland last night. The occupy camps were not "sustainable." They had to be shut "to restore public health and safety." Mayor Michael A. Nutter of Philadelphia is massing police around Occupy Philadelphia due to his concern about "growing public health and safety concerns" Note the similarity of statements by Adams and Nutter to the New York Times talking points.
-----------
Time to Shut It Down

The fascists financiers of The Money Party are now paying attention. They're using the normal tactics they employ against domestic assemblies of citizens who present grievances: lies, misinformation, police bullying, police attacks, claims of "safety and public health" concerns. They'll ramp up soon to massive police actions and claim that citizens caused the coming police riots.

They have no other choice at this point. What if that 43% pubic sympathy for the Occupy Wall Street movement becomes 53% or 63%.

What if there is the possibility, no matter how slim, that real change will occur?

What if they're investigated, tried and put in jail?

6. Hey there
The Money Party has picked every apple in this orchard and now realized there are no more orchards. Time for them to go far away very soon.

7. Publi health is not a priority for the overlords
How about a public health bill that provides the public a way to get affordable, quality health care? Maybe the mayors an answer
that one. Not holding my breath...

9. They won't notice until our bodies are clogging the drains.
Maybe not even then. The only way is mass pressure.

4. From the article:
"In case the public health excuse fails, the Portland Police Department is seeding the media with stories that Occupy Portland participants were "fashioning makeshift weapons with wood and nails, in advance of a planned move by authorities to clear their two encampments over the weekend."



Look out! He's got a board with a nail in it!

Of course, we were watching all the livestream plus had a real DU'er there, so we immediately knocked the propaganda down.

10. Thank you governor!
"According to the tables which we have assembled, it is our estimate that four percent of the American people own eighty five percent of the wealth of America, and that over 70 percent of the people of America don't own enough to pay for the debts that they owe.

"How many men ever went to a barbecue and would let one man take off the table what's intended for 9/10th of the people to eat? The only way to be able to feed the balance of the people is to make that man come back and bring back some of that grub that he ain't got no business with!"
— Huey P. Long, Dec. 11, 1934

14. I knew you'd recognize a hero of the people from the past. You are
the first person to comment on the handle. I think many forget who he was.

A chicken in every pot, and every man a king!

17. He was going to content in 1936 had he not been shot, as you know
But others don't maybe. He may not have won but he would have kept Roosevelt from trying to balance the damn budget after
a fine first term. Strange how things turn out.

You have any recommendations on a decent and fair biography of Long?

11. Their best shot is to make Occupy look bad.
So that's what they do.

13. Excellent -
they haven't had to deal with any resistance the past 30+ years so they are rusty, but I expect this will get worse soon. They'll keep using excuses (clean the park, clear the snow, whatever...) but eventually they'll get tired of it and send in the agent provocateurs.

15. They're slow on the uptake
They should have sent the planted trouble causers/agent provocateurs early on. Now there is a history of positive behavior, ya know
that First Amendment thing, and they'll have to do a back story on how it's been "building." But talk about sloppy. Those Portland
Police talked about "makeshift" weapons. Then, when they cleared the park, they forgot to "find" any. I'm waiting for drone surveillance.
That will ake up the right wing libertarians big time.

Thanks!
