Crackin' Skulls.....................

Anyone following the Protests in New York, Boston and soon to be in D.C.?

There are loads of these clips like this one on youtube alone. Most coverage is by foreign news outlets. Our media is trivializing it.

Now is also a good time to pay attention to some artists who have been trying to put out the message for some time now. Here's a montage of photos of the events over a Steve Earle song.

Yep.. been following it, and will be at the protest in DC this evening.

If you check the thread about the 700 arrested on the bridge, I posted new video from last night when the cops started swatting the protesters with night sticks. Someone even got a video of a cop bragging about using his..

I hate to see them hurting people, but it's good they keep it up because it brings attention and more voices to the protest.

I'm glad we have such a clean closet we can complain about other contries abusing their citizens.

Maybe the cops forgot 20 years ago when they had greivences.. http://www.nytimes.com/1992/09/27/ny...ted=all&src=pm

Take a good look everyone. It's Corporate America sending it's dogs out to crush Democracy. Do you see any protesters carrying nightsticks, or any weapons for that matter. IT'S YOUR SIDE THAT BUSTS HEADS. YOU! This is what you stand for. Did you see any of this during the Tea Party events? No. Because Massa doesn't beat the obedient slaves. That's why. LOOK AT IT!

From the clip Don posted;

"None are more enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."--Goethe

That's YOU. You're yoked to the machine like an ass pulling a mill, and thanking "God" you still have the opportunity to do it as they pay you less and less for your services and make you work further and further into old age.

Keep it up, the college kids are smart enough to see what's going on. And they want no part of it.

(And, guess what? The sign wasn't even misspelled!)

What else did you expect from bankers who will cheat veterans. They are the first lot to babble about patriotism and the flag, but they would sell their own wives and daughters for a buck.

BTW someone posted summat about these college kids living off unemployment, well I have news for you, you first have to have been employed. Since these kids can't find jobs they don't get unemployment insurance,

The Tea Party is working it's way into government.

Maybe they're doing something right.

Or maybe it is just the GOP imitating the BORG.
