Just as the elite have their millions of eyes watching the downtrodden people and people of all distinctions, we, the people, of the protesting forces across America and the world must do the same. It is simply taking their strategies including quantitative easing (as a bulwark against present poverty) and employing them against the 1% and their underdogs and to the benefit of the people.

The marines have stated that they intend upon seeing OWS'ers (and other protesters throughout the country) through the winter days in order that the protests have time to continue to grow in force and power.

This tenacity of the marines should bring about a strength among those who are of the weaker ones, such as the police who are weak because they cannot seem to separate themselves from the dictates of the 1%, because of the paychecks. Many such weak ones then come to believe that if they have the support of the marines (who are so well thought of by their own country) that they, too, should be able to protest. I am thinking indicatively of the police forces. I do not believe there are many police who wish to go head on with even one marine as was shown in the now known famous clip depicting the marine against the 32 policemen/*women in NYC.

So I would say be cautious, but I believe these marines are on the side of the American protesters and if there be any infilitration at all, then those marines will be able to spot them faster than anyone else, and that must be to our benefit.

I do agree that the White House and Pentagon pulled by the strings of the 1%, will definitely be looking toward a new senerio of destruction, either in the United States or the Middle East.

It is highly likely that the new senerio of destruction will be right here in the United States due to the fact, with the American soldiers coming home (if they make it that far), and with the National Guard overseas (put there by the Bush Jr. regime), those home-bound soldiers are the ones which the White House and Pentagon will need for something other than joining in with Occupy Marines, under Marine control, or should we say "Leadership."

One Veteran, Alex Limkin said:

“There is nothing more central to a free and democratic people than the right to dissent, the right to disagree, the right to stand up in the town square and be heard… I feel quite sure that in standing in solidarity with the peaceful Occupy Wall Street movement, I am doing no less than upholding my oath as an American soldier.”

"Marines were already beginning to support the Occupy Wall Street movement. Now they are bring reinforcements from the Marine Corps and other branches of the United States military, to put their organizational skills, patriotism, and resilience to good use in the effort to give more weight to the protests and help them continue the fight to change America indefinitely. For years, they have fought for us in countries far away. Now, they fight beside us in America."

The marines have fought in other countries not for the protection of the American people, but were in other countries for,opening the pathway for American corporations to pillage the natural resources belonging to other countries thus filling the bank accounts of the 1%'er and their henchmen (governments) and opportunists (players of the stock market).

The real issue is that wages under $250K are taxed as revenue . . . Taxes are drawn against the total earned.

The issue with corporate taxes is they are drawn against profits only and not revenue. SIDE NOTE: I do not see where in the Constitution that profit is a right.

The issue with capital gains is they are taxed extra-cheaply and offset against net loses and re-investment . . . (Read: Profits only). Again, why aren’t capital gains taxed against REVENUE . . . Taxing against income (Profit) is supposed to encourage re-investment but at low rates it encourages wealth hoarding.

It is up to us to see that Democrats give Republicans the same treatment they have given Obama and the Democrats if they win in 2012. We must put all Democrats in the Senate that if they do not support a filibuster of every action on the part of the Republicans in the future, we will do everything to see they are not re-elected. The message must be sent to the Republicans that you will get back what you do in the future and discourage shutting down the legislative process. I think it is time to find out which of the Democrats are willing to really support the Democratic agenda and platform. If you are interested, I am trying to get a petition signed to see who would support a pledge I have come up with to request all of the Democratic legislators to sign to establish their level of support. If you are interested send me a email and I will send you a copy of the petition and pledge I have set up with MoveOn.Org for you to review and see if you agree.

A skeptical physicist ends up confirming climate data

Back in 2010, Richard Muller, a Berkeley physicist and self-proclaimed climate skeptic, decided to launch the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) project to review the temperature data that underpinned global-warming claims. Remember, this was not long after the Climategate affair had erupted, at a time when skeptics were griping that climatologists had based their claims on faulty temperature data.

Muller’s stated aims were simple. He and his team would scour and re-analyze the climate data, putting all their calculations and methods online. Skeptics cheered the effort. “I’m prepared to accept whatever result they produce, even if it proves my premise wrong,” wrote Anthony Watts, a blogger who has criticized the quality of the weather stations in the United Statse that provide temperature data. The Charles G. Koch Foundation even gave Muller’s project $150,000 — and the Koch brothers, recall, are hardly fans of mainstream climate science.

So what are the end results? Muller’s team appears to have confirmed the basic tenets of climate science. Back in March, Muller told the House Science and Technology Committee that, contrary to what he expected, the existing temperature data was “excellent.” He went on: “We see a global warming trend that is very similar to that previously reported by the other groups.” And, today, the BEST team has released a flurry of new papers that confirm that the planet is getting hotter. As the team’s two-page summary flatly concludes, “Global warming is real.”Here’s a chart comparing their findings with existing data:

Ha! I love this story!

Financed by the Koch brothers but defeated by science! Here is the whole story: http://x.co/abxt

Viligance and awareness by all participants in protest movements can prevent successful infiltration for the purpose of destroying the movement. It all comes down to UNITY among them, and the diversity of messages coming from the protesters is in this case irrelevant to the movement's goal, for all are at the receiving end of elite orchestrated brutality against people's lives and dignity. Artificially inflicted suffering on the people is strong motivation for them to remain united.

Edward Bernays, double nephew of Sigmund Freud, changed the term "propaganda" to the euphemistic term "public relations" and worked for Woodrow Wilson during WWI to convince the public that it's war efforts was primarily for the purpose of "bringing democracy to all of Europe". He is known as "the father of public relations". The Nazis had Goebbels and we had Bernays. Bernays believed that the public was not to be trusted with democracy and needed to make the people believe in a course of politics that would serve the interests of the ruling elite. He believed that people's beliefs and actions "could be harnessed and channeled by a corporate elite for economic benefit. Through the use of mass production, big business could fulfill constant craving of the inherently irrational and desire driven masses"*

"In(Bernay's book) 'Propaganda' (1928), Bernays argued that the manipulation of public opinion was a necessary part of democracy:

The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays

Bernays went on to be very instrumental in the public relations and marketing departments of many top US corporations. How to use psychology to get more people to buy things that they may not even need.

So all of this psychology to get people to spend their money....and then they have the gall to later blame people for spending their money which is why, they claim, people don't have any money any more. It has absolutely nothing to do with the 30 years of Reaganomics, of Union Busting, of wage and benefit pinching..or rising prices...and continued psychological ploys in marketing. Of course not...it's all the fault of people who can't handle their money or who didn't work hard enough or save enough for the long term...saving for retirement (all which were raided by Wall Street gamblers).

The people know they've been shafted by a corrupt system and are now rebelling in the streets. And now they are even being assisted by the Marines and other armed forces...and I am hoping that this is not some covert infiltration to crack down on the people. I am hoping that it is what they say it is that they believe they are in the same boat as the rest of us...maybe even more so...and they have as much to lose as everyone else..maybe even more. But if they are infiltrators that could snap to attention and crack down on the demonstrators then we will have been had. They've sent infiltrators into dissident groups before...lots of times. So, I'd say welcome them with open arms but verify...keep your eyes and ears open for any indications that they are not who or what they say they are....ie: on the side of the demonstrators. If these Marines actually do step in and help stop these white-shirted gestapo pigs from exercising their sadist fantasies of beating or pepper spraying demonstrators then I will be cheering the Marines on and honoring them in their endeavors. Of course we also have to realize that if this actually happens it could escalate.

I'm kind of expecting something big is about to happen. The wag-the-dog empire is losing control and needs to create something really big to distract us from a massive revolt. Could it be that by freeing up the troops in Iraq...they now have the ability to concentrate on invading Iran? Oh, evil Iran with all their weapons of mass destruction...nukes (power plants) even...and will talk of mushroom clouds, crop dusters, gas masks, and duct tape work this time? I wonder which tall buildings our ruling tricksters will target this time...or maybe even they realize it would be too obvious to everyone if they tried this again. So...let's see what else could they do to frighten everyone into frightened subservience? Oh no! Not that! Nancy Grace is going to be on all channels screaming about Aliens attacking Aruba and kidnapping debutantes? That will go on for years I'm afraid. Afraid? Yes, very afraid! Be very afraid, America! It could happen here! It could happen tomorrow! The end of civilization..as we know it!

"What began as the gathering of just a few US Marines has now become a major organized movement to get Marines and military personnel of all branches to Occupy America nationwide. You can thank Marine Sgt. Shamar Thomas for that. One Brave Marine vs. A Platoon of 30 Cops His actions last week have inspired service men and women across the country to take a stand for the American people and join the Occupy protests." Occupy America Nationwide!

TO THE BRAVE AND HONORABLE MARINES OF OCCUPY AMERICA NATIONWIDE: HERE IS THE INFORMATION WHICH IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT WILL GREATLY ASSIST YOU IN ASSISTING YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF OCCUPY WALL STREET, AS WELL AS OCCUPATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. IF ALL MILITARY PERSONELLE WORLD WIDE JOIN WITH YOU, MUCH CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED. YOU ARE THE PROTECTION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, YOUR PRESENT CONSTITUTION AS WELL AS YOUR NATION, UNDIVIDED.

WASHINGTON D.C. IS ONE OF THE THREE SEGMENTS BELONGING TO THE POWER WHICH RULES THE WORLD.

teneraansis: It is such a pleasure to have an intelligent discourse with kindred spirits, and to derive a much-needed boost in morale when so much evil is being perpetrated. I look forward to reading these posts so much because I learn something important every time, and I get to "talk" to like-minded individuals who seek truth, justice and planetary health. When enough of us unite in this type of global consciousness, we are empowered in ways that are superior to material wealth and power.

Basically your asking the administration to stick its chin out , blunder in like a senseless enraged bull swinging like a barn door rather than roll with the punches and hook and jab.

Mohamed Alie

So what IS he trying to do? What he has said he wanted to do or what he has shown us that he is willing to do...which is let Wall Street and the banksters get away with ripping off the people.So what IS he trying to do? What he says now? When he wants his jilted voters to forget about all those times he gave away the store? Didn't even try to start the "bargaining process" with progressive agendas but right off the bat said we'd give up the very things we needed to have. When you are bought and paid for by Wall Street and corporate interests and then act in their behalf against the voters then one has to hold very dubious ANYTHING he has to say about ANYTHING anymore. He has proven himself to his real base...corporate and derivative junkies in Wall Street and proven to the rest of us that he is not worthy of our vote again.

When he campaigned the first time, it sounded like he was going to really help defend us in the economic war against us. What we got was either a coward who didn't have the guts to fight for us or we got a collaborator to further undermine us. The only way I could envision forgiving him is if he was either being blackmailed or threatened by a ruthless criminal organization that has already assassinated at least one other President. Some organizations exist across generations and its members are held together by the same goals and beliefs especially in economic dominance.

For all I know, Obama was freaked out when he was told in no uncertain terms that the earth is being dominated by alien giant ant-like creatures with technology far surpassing ours and telepathic abilities who are temporarily kidnapping earth women...creating hybrids...and have made a deal with our leaders in order to get some of their technology.....and they eat rats....and love strawberry ice cream. Ok, maybe I need to cut back on a little of the V-series and stop reading all those UFO books.

But, some of these rulers may not be much different than giant alien ants. Some of them are giant Koch-roaches ...for sure. And they all act like giant leeches sucking the life's blood out of mankind. They are certainly giant parasites that falsely believe of themselves as being harder working, more dedicated, and more deserving than anyone else. But in most cases they are merely very lucky and/or inherited a lot of their wealth that they use to continue to leverage against everyone else. And in some cases they have gotten their wealth through criminal actions.(Isn't that right...Daryl Issa?) And if their money did not buy the politicians and lawmakers they would be considered by our legal system as law breakers...criminals. But they have bought and corrupted our legal and political system. Their money buys the major news media that portrays them in high esteem....someone to aspire to be like...if we only work harder. And the result is that the people are psychologically deadened to that sucking sound of people's veins (retirement and/or bank accounts) being emptied by those parasites that are not satisfied with most of the money...they want it all. They want us all to bow down before their eminence and plead for alms for slaving away in their sweat shops and kiss their feet for it.
