BREAKING: Jeniffer Fox, the 3 Month Pregnant women who was pepper sprayed at Occupy Seattle has miscarried.
“I was screaming, ‘I am pregnant, I am pregnant. Let me through. I am trying to get out.’” At that point, Fox continues, a Seattle police officer lifted his foot and it hit her in the stomach, and another officer pushed his bicycle into the crowd, again hitting Fox in the stomach.
Well fuck everything
And the reason the pro-life folks aren’t screaming about the violent police fetus murderers is….?
My thoughts on the morning of the 18/11
I live in Australia, so the 17th is still happening in the US as I write this. There’s plans currently in motion that will come to a close before this article ever reaches anyone else’s eyes.
I can’t help feeling that I’m watching an empire collapse.
All the signs are there. Demagoguery, fascism, numerous attempts to silence the increasingly pissed off masses and trained ditto heads claiming, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, that everything is fine and Big Brother loves you.
Take a moment to read a couple of books. 1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell.
Yes, they’re allegories against communism, but fascism isn’t just the bailiwick of communists. It’s an egalitarian evil. It whores itself out to any demagogue who wants it.
America, who once supported rallies of this ilk against a clear and definite evil, now attempts to silence them when they happen on its own soil.
I understand it. I do. It’s called “schadenfreude”. Avenue Q did a song about it.
Basically, it’s all right for the people to fight for their freedom, so long as they’re doing it away from here.
Yes! Any downtrodden citizen of the world can battle to raise themselves into true democracy, just… not in America’s back yard. We already have that stuff.
And when the people cry, “not any more”, America does the only thing it can to try and save face.
It becomes the very monster it has been morally opposing in the past, by smacking down the very people they’re supposed to support.
Naturally, this has the opposite effect and makes other nations notice America’s hypocrisy. How long will this go on before the UN peacekeeping forces have to invade America to bring justice, freedom and democracy back to a nation currently boiling itself in ignorance and hatred?
Will America be forced to invade America and re-establish its own highest ideals? Or will America eat itself and struggle back up to a world power by its bootstraps once more? That long journey will take decades.
And -hey- maybe it’s time America got a kick in its massive ego and realised that it’s been looking at a portrait of its glory days and not, in fact, a mirror.
Maybe America will wake up and realise that the corporate vampire latched onto its metaphorical jugular is not the sparkly and romantic path to glory, but instead - a vicious bloodsucker out for every last drop.
Either way, something needs to happen. It will not be easy. It will not be neat. It will not be peaceful. It will not be cheap. But all the same, it needs to happen.
The revolution is coming.
It always does when a few have ultimate power over many and too many luxuries in an environment of deprivation and debt.
Excuse me?
This guy had an interesting rant. What it boils down to is: Do what you like, just don’t ruin Christmas.
What.
The.
Fuck.
You have corporate assholes quietly and insidiously ruining your kids’ future, and that’s fine, just so long as no-one yells about it during a fucking Santa Claus parade?
We’re not allowed to speak because someone made your kid cry? What?
I’d image macro this with Professor Farnsworth saying “I don’t want to live on this planet any more”… but I have better things to do.
Like, making a better tomorrow for myself and my kids and everyone else on the planet.
/rant.
There is a way out…
Congress signed into being a constitutional amendment that allowed the President to take complete control - dictatorship, if you will - without the approval of congress.
I think it’s Rule 52 or something of the ilk. I remember seeing it in the OWS-tagged entries via Tumblr.
The President needs to use that rule. Take command. And then tell the armies to arrest every last 1% douchebag currently in the United States. Seize their property, their wealth and use it to build a better nation.
And enforce every law he needs to to make sure that corporations can not ever take control again.
It’ll probably be the last thing he ever does as president, because those who hold the real power don’t want to be on the receiving end of anything like that… which is probably why Obama is laying low and saying little.
Yet, sooner or later, it will come to that choice. Save a nation or kill it.
With the same tool.
Dear 1%
I know you like having it. Money. Power. Fame.
Everyone wants it. People usually want to earn it.
Most of you have inherited it. Or manipulated things so you can keep it.
There’s just one thing.
If you succeed in obtaining all the money - money then becomes worthless.
The majority, those “unwashed masses” you sneer and jeer at from your balconies as they struggle for a slice of justice beneath you… they’re going to realise that money is becoming worthless and switch to other methods of exchange.
Once the common throng no longer agrees that slips of linen with intricate printing on them are worth something… well… you’re in big trouble.
You’ll have no more power, for a start.
The only fame you possess will be as an object of ridicule.
And the money? Returned to fiction. Everyone else will be trading in -say- hours of work accomplished.
Your best interests are to share some of your wealth. That keeps the system going. Not sharing only hurts yourself in the long run.
Thankyou for your time.
CENSORSHIP OF THE INTERNET??!??!!!?!
Reblog it.
Didn’t something like this happen in Egypt, recently? Didn’t something like that fail worse than the Titanic? Don’t these people remember what happened to the last douchebag who tried this?
They live!
Mass reclaiming of books on Wednesday, right? And live streaming thereof, of course :)
The more I hear about these “rogue elements”
…the more I think it’s code for “undercover cop inciting violence”.
If you’re in a camp or protest and you see someone getting violent, encourage those around you to push them towards the police.
Then see what happens next.
I’m betting it’ll be like this:
OWS: “Here’s the guy that threw the brick.”
Cops: “Er… Hi Dave.”
Dave: “Crap.”
Awkwaaaarrrrrd….
