American Revolution Occupy Wall Street Decorated US Marines Sgt Shamar Thomas Stand Up For People Against NYP Police Brutality

This is the ACTUAL MARINE from the Video. I will say 1st that I don't hate the Police or more specifically the NYPD. My Great-Grandfather, Grandfather, Mother, and Step-Father have all served in Combat Zones. I was deployed to Iraq in 04 and 06. My 1st Combat Action was in Fallujah 2004. My parents both served for 20 plus years. We fought for the American Citzens without complaint. All to come home and see INNOCENT Citzens get Brutalize by the Police they must Trust. No HONOR in that. SEMPER FI

@SgtShamarThomasUSMC I know you don't hate the police or the NYPD neither do most citizens ... but your display of outrage so perfectly summed up what many of us feel after what we have been witnessing via citizen reports. My father and grandfather were Canadian veterans in both world wars so i respect and honour you sir. Thanks!

Tryptophantom

You know your country is fucked up when a soldier gets laughed at by a police officer.

Mad respect to the Marine though, he had the balls to say what everyone else was thinking.

@SgtShamarThomasUSMC Navy Seabee Iraq war combat vet here ( Fallujah 05-06). You Marines always had our backs. I see you haven't let up! Thank you for still fighting for the Constitution and Human Rights.

seabeejg

thank god for people like this man.....upholding his oath to serve and protect THE PEOPLE of this country.....not to serve and protect the criminal scum (politicians/federal reserve) ruining this country

The Federal Reserve is a privately owned bank which CANNOT be audited

wallyszabo



Blah blah blah SUPPORT THE TROOPS blah blah blah. Then the troops come home from one fight to face this one.

Only the 99% actually support the troops. The 1% robbed them of many of their benefits, and post-service job prospects. The 1% are the ones who invent all the stupid wars, and then send our noble soldiers off to fight for ignoble causes.

I am sick of our soldiers AND OUR POLICE being used this way! We the people need to take our nation back.

ToolPackinMama

And all the honor goes to you, Marine Sgt Shamar Thomas! Thank you for standing up to those police/bullies who feel abuse the power that WE have vested in them!

Simply put, you rock!

A true hero..... and an honorable man all respect to you sir...

Thank you Sgt.

Talking Italy, Portugal, Spain Austerity

Michel Montecrossa's 'Talking Italy, Portugal, Spain Austerity - song for 15 October 2011 Global Mass Protests'

Michel Montecrossa says:

"The song 'Talking Italy, Portugal, Spain Austerity' is dedicated to the Global Mass Protests of 15 October 2011, the day of Global Revolution for change in finance and politics.
'Austerity', 'Downgrading', 'Bail Out' are slogans used by bankas and politos to hide the simple trick of taking away the people's tax money and giving it to the banks and the rich so that the 99% get poorer and the 1% gets richer.
Italy, Portugal, Spain, Greece and always more countries are threatened by this wrong banka and polito action.""

Song Lyrics
TALKING ITALY, PORTUGAL, SPAIN AUSTERITY
Now they drive us down the road of pain, / the people of Italy, Portugal, Spain. / Just as they do it with the people of Greece / they downgrade us to favor the rich.
A war rages between politos and bankas / for power over us, the people. / The bankas now win almost every day / and drive us down the poverty way.
People wake up! People stand up! / The people know what the people need! / The people can set the people free! / The people, you know, the people are we!
Banka speculators want our tax money / to become bail out funds for them, / want control over us, the only real value, / by turning us into cheap and mindless slaves.
Politos are there to help the people, / not to join the banka-gansta-gang. / Politos must change the financial game, / put right what went wrong for a happy end.
People wake up! People stand up! / The people know what the people need! / The people can set the people free! / The people, you know, the people are we!
People wake up! People stand up! / The people know what the people need! / The people can set the people free! / The people, you know, the people are we!

traduzione testo - Talking Italy, Portugal, Spain Austerity

Parlare dell'austerità di Italia, Portogallo, Spagna

Ora ci guidano lungo la strada del dolore
la gente di Italia, Portogallo, Spagna.
Così come lo hanno fatto con la gente della grecia
ci sono downgrade a favore dei ricchi.

Una guerra infuria tra politos e bankas
per il potere su di noi, il popolo.
I bankas ora vincono quasi tutti i giorni
e ci spingono giù sulla via della povertà.

Gente svegliatevi! Gente alzatevi!
La gente sa quello che la gente ha bisogno!
La gente può liberare la gente!
La gente, si sa, la gente siamo noi!

Speculatori bancari vogliono le nostre tasse
per avere i fondi salvataggio per loro,
vogliono il controllo su di noi, l'unico valore reale
facendoci diventare schiavi a buon mercato e senza cervello.

Politos sono lì per aiutare il popolo
per non aderire alla banka-gangsta-gang.
politos devono cambiare il gioco finanziario
rimediare cosa è andato storto per un lieto fine.

Gente svegliatevi! Gente alzatevi!
La gente sa quello che la gente ha bisogno!
La gente può liberare la gente!
La gente, si sa, la gente siamo noi!

Gente svegliatevi! Gente alzatevi!
La gente sa quello che la gente ha bisogno!
La gente può liberare la gente!
La gente, si sa, la gente siamo noi!

OWS Reasons For Revolution: The Money Masters Full Documentary! Understand Financial System! Why You Must Occupy Wall Street

The Money Masters - Full

THE MONEY MASTERS is a NON-FICTION, historical documentary that traces the origins of the political power structure. The modern political power structure has its roots in the hidden manipulation and accumulation of gold and other forms of money. The development of fractional reserve banking practices in the 17th century brought to a cunning sophistication the secret techniques initially used by goldsmiths fraudulently to accumulate wealth. With the formation of the privately-owned Bank of England in 1694, the yoke of economic slavery to a privately-owned "central" bank was first forced upon the backs of an entire nation, not removed but only made heavier with the passing of the three centuries to our day. Nation after nation has fallen prey to this cabal of international central bankers.

GIABO OWS California Antibanks Revolution: Mass Mobilization Make Wall Street Banks Pay

Mass Mobilization to Make Wall Street Pay

Is occupying squares the right action? People know that the greedy 1% are the culprits. Still activists try to bring their message to The People. Still they are disappointed when the media – controlled by the 1% - don’t publish their activity. Still there is no direct pressure on the greedy grabbers. So we never get a Humane World. Be active around the slogan:

“Make Wall Street Pay! Make Banks Pay! Make Corporations Pay!

Make Wall Street Pay!"

GIABO - Global Insurretion Against Bankers Occupation

California St. San Francisco, CA

Make Wall Street Banks Pay in California

Join Refund CA coalition for a march on San Francisco's financial district on Thursday Sept. 29 from 3-6pm.

The goal of the coalition is to shift the debate of the economic crisis around whether the budget crisis should be solved with spending cuts or new revenue, to a debate about who should pay to solve the crisis- students and workers, or Wall Street.

A week of escalating actions throughout the week, including a bank divestment action, and a "clean-up" action, are being planned for Monday Sept. 26 - Thursday Sept. 29th, targeting Wells Fargo, Bank of American, and possibly Chase Bank and concluding with a march on SF's financial district on Thursday the 29th.

The main message/demand is: "Big banks crashed our economy and destroyed our communities. Budget cuts threaten our schools, libraries, and social services. We bailed out the banks. Now they need to pay."

__________________________​__________________________​______________

It is important for us to remember that Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and other banks broke no laws in not paying any taxes this year. They didn’t have to because their lobbyists helped to write the tax laws.

Large corporations like Bank of America are incapable of making the kind of pledge our nation’s founders made to each other at the end of their declaration. By law they must put the economic interest of their shareholders above everything else.

Corporations like Bank of America must be put in their place. This begins by insisting that if corporations want to be afforded the same rights as citizens, they must take on the same responsibilities of citizens.

It is time for Banks and corporations to pay their fair share of taxes and to stop purchasing special privileges and entitlements that are not available to flesh-and-blood citizens.

#OccupyUSA

The anti-capitalist protesters #OccupyWallStreet #AntiBanks movement who have set up tent camp in lower Manhattan are becoming a reference of the area, and a reference for America and for the World.

organizing demonstrations in Dallas, TX and in Austin, TX simultaneously, it's so amazing to be a part of something so big

Casey O'Neill had no regrets. He had travelled thousands of miles across the country – and gave up a well-paying job as a data manager in California – to sleep rough in a downtown Manhattan public square, enduring rain and increasingly chilly nights. Police keep a close eye on him every day.

But O'Neill was happy to be part of the "Occupy Wall Street" that have transformed New York's Zuccotti Park from a spot where Wall Streeters grab a lunchtime sandwich into an informal camp of revolutionaries, socialists, anarchists and quite a lot of the just-plain-annoyed.

"Regrets? No. God, no," said O'Neill, 34. "It is a little scary for sure. Somebody had to make a stand to do this. It is kind of amazing right now." O'Neill is even happy to sleep on the park's concrete benches. "It's OK, actually," he said.

O'Neill is part of an encampment in the square that looks ramshackle but in fact is highly organised, and looks rapidly on the way to becoming a fixture of downtown Manhattan life – if the police let the protesters stay there.

That looked unlikely on Tuesday when several protesters were forcibly arrested and taken away, including one woman who ended up in hospital. But for now the protest continues after beginning last weekend with a march on Wall Street.

The protest has morphed into a wide-ranging anti-capitalist demonstration that has attracted attention – and support – from around the world. Bemused bankers, construction workers and other downtown workers pass by every day, stopping to gawp and take pictures. Sometimes there is a lot to look at. Today, for example, Zuni Tikka, 37, was engaged in a topless protest along with several friends.

Wall Street protesters go topless



The protesters' camp in Zucoti Park Lower Manhattan

Standing bare-breasted behind a poster that proclaimed "Capitalism Isn't Working", she happily posed for interested bystanders. The lack of clothing, she explained, was a metaphor. "I can't afford a shirt. Wall Street has stolen the shirts from our backs," she said.

That carnival atmosphere is typical of the protest. Anyone hoping (or fearing) for a violent assault on the bastions of American capitalism will be sorely disappointed. Instead, several hundred protesters each morning and evening set off to march by the New York stock exchange.

They blow trumpets, bang drums and chant slogans while holding placards that read "Free Market My Ass" and "Too Big Has Failed". They go back and forth down Wall Street, behind barricades lined with police, and then return to the camp in Zuccotti Park.

They then spend the day holding workshops, informal concerts and various protest stunts (such as the nude demonstration). They welcome visitors and tourists and try to obey the demands made by the police.

Each day a "general assembly" is held where topics and events are discussed in a free-for-all of debate and discussion. "It is a leaderless situation," said Thorin Caristo, 37, who nonetheless is part of a small core group of people who try to keep things organised.

Occupy Wall Street - Jam Protest Drum Circle with Freestyle Rapping



Why OCCUPY Wall Street activist protesetr Thorin Caristo Explains



One of the protesters, Thorin Caristo, explains why he is there

The protest has attracted wide support and has a sophisticated social media operation. There is a live steaming video TV feed onto the internet and a huge presence on Twitter. Supporters around the world have even been sending in orders to a local pizza shop to keep the protesters fed. So much so, in fact, that some organisers have asked them to stop ordering pizza as they had more than they could eat. Now most help comes in the form of money or – most importantly – more people coming.

"People are donating from all over the world. There are car pools of people arriving from Wisconsin, California and Florida. They told us: 'Hang on, we're coming!' One woman who has travelled a long way is Becky Wartell, 24, a massage therapist from Maine. "I am a small business owner!" she laughed. She had just returned from the latest march down Wall Street.

Wall Street activist protester Becky Wartell point of view



Anti-capitalist protester Becky Wartell explains why she has joined the protests at Wall Street

"What everybody's here protesting is that fact that 1% of the population controls so much wealth. We are the rest of society. We are the 99%," she said.

There is a broad range of opinion on display. Some are travellers who have made protesting into a lifestyle. Some are students. Others are working people, like O'Neill and Wartell, who have taken time off to join in. No one knows how long they are going to be in Zuccotti Park.

As with much of the protest, things appear likely to just evolve as they go along. The same goes for the protesters' aims too. "We don't have a precise goal. We want to stay a month. That's a loose goal. Or maybe longer. We want to be here until we have entered a worldwide dialogue about transparency and accountability in the financial system," said Caristo.

One thing many of the protesters do know is their facts and figures. For every hippy talking about world peace or traveller wanting to heal the world, another will mention the exact tax rates that rich Americans pay, or that 20% of the US population now control 84% of the wealth. Or that the richest 400 families have the same net worth as the bottom 50% of the entire nation.

Even Tikka, as she posed topless before a gaggle of fascinated construction workers, was protesting deliberately next to a sign that read: "I didn't say look, I said listen."

WorldRevolution America USDOR: American People Protest Around Wall Street

Wall Street Occupation..several thousand protesters are still trying to occupy wall street,

do not believe press reports about there being only one thousand.

Originally organized by Anonymous but including others such as Adbusters.

Almost a complete news blackout, see tweets, it was tweet trending but then twitter removed it, also see live webcams, if the whole wide world is watching it will make it harder for their police to crack skulls.

A lot of Americans are waking up to find out how free they really are in the land of the free.

Police are now treating this peaceful protest as a potential riot, police radio traffic are call ing it a 10-34. Police have been issued with plastic ties/handcuffs and have prison buses lying in wait. Please everybody we have to help this go viral.

As for the mighty debt we are the victims are a pyramid scam run by the American banks, we as Europe should club together and send a clear message to America, can't pay won't pay.

People are trying to tell us if the U.S.A fails it takes us down with it, sorry just like the fear mongering about the yk2 bug, it would not happen.

Wall Street Closed Because Protesters Occupy It For Democracy (09/17/2011)

History has proven..when the college students start peacefully protesting, and they have a right to, we ALL do..that its getting close to a revolution, a change. We need these young people to jump start us! they are our future, and they want their rights..what's wrong with that? I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH THEM!!! We need a change. Wake up sheeple!!

Why do people think this nation is a democracy? Democracy is where 51% of the people take away the rights of the other 49%. This nation is a Republic, do your research. When asked what he had given us Benjamin Franklin stated: " A Republic...if you can keep it."

GlobalRevolution OCCUPYWALLSTREET Antibanks Protests One Liberty Plaza Camping: Occupied Wall Street People’s Assembly Message

A Message From Occupied Wall Street

We Occupy Wall Street

Camping. In front of One Liberty Plaza

This is the first communiqué from the 99 percent. We are occupying Wall Street.
On September 17th, 2011, approximately 2,000 of us marched on the Financial District. At twelve noon, a detachment of us marched on the head of Wall Street and formed a spontaneous blockade, prompting the New York Police Department to threaten arrest. Speakers including the Reverend Billy Talen of the Church of Stop Shopping, and actress Rosanne Barr spoke on the steps of the American Indian Smithsonian Museum to the crowd, which included conscious rappers Lupe Fiasco and Immortal Technique.

Over 1,000 of us marched from Bowling Green Park amid heavy police presence, across the Financial District and chanting “Wall Street is our street” and “power to the people, not to the banks.” Many stayed at One Liberty Plaza, where later in the evening a meal was served and water was distributed. Song, dance, puppetry, and other art added cheer across the plaza.

Two thousand strong, we held a general assembly, based upon a consensus-driven decision-making process. Decisions were made for the group to occupy One Liberty Plaza in the Wall Street corridor through the evening, bedding down in sleeping bags and donated blankets. Another assembly is scheduled for 10 AM ET today.
We speak as one. All of our decisions, from our choices to march on Wall Street to our decision to camp at One Liberty Plaza were decided through a consensus process by the group, for the group.
