That is a good clue that just the “v” trick won’t work. » Posted By bito On October 14, 2011 @ 3:48 pm Just another hippie, k’es!

We want to put ‘people over profit’ and support the effort. » Posted By bito On October 14, 2011 @ 2:48 pm Just checked “Occupy Together” and they say that their are now meetups in 1,676 cities world wide!

I have read a few things and not seen one mention of the letter sent by the #OWS legal team. I think he really wants a violent confrontation to discredit the movement. That radio interview makes him sound like a little dictator. » Posted By bito On October 14, 2011 @ 10:40 am And for some good news: In Colorado, elected officials are moving to crack down on Occupy Denver, enforcing laws that prohibit camping in the park, but in Lansing, MI, the mayor has welcomed the protesters, offering permits, portable restrooms and more. Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero paid an unexpected visit to Occupy Lansing protesters on Tuesday night and told the protesters that he had approved permits allowing them to stay in Reutters Park in downtown Lansing. He has even brought in porta-johns and is providing trash service. And from the Mayor: Our political system has become increasingly corportized, privatized and profitized by the filthy rich. The unholy alliance of Washington and Wall Street have conspired against regular folks to all but obliterate the American Dream and bastardise our democracy. Thank God the people are fighting back! America must be a place of opportunity for ALL, not just the few at the top. I welcome Occupy Wall Street to Lansing, Michigan. » Posted By bito On October 14, 2011 @ 9:05 am Meanwhile across town the i-Phone campers are not bothered. » Posted By bito On October 14, 2011 @ 8:51 am Will they even reply to a legal letter? » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 9:59 pm allisonkilkenny allisonkilkenny » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 9:57 pm AdLib I did tweet that but I found this one very interesting. https://dl.dropbox.com/0/view/75u4cx932ty3kyf/New%20Document.pdf They can say all they want about the lack of organization but they took it right back at them with with a legal letter. Ms Knustler is the head of the “Legal Guild.” Now will the city follow legal guidelines or ignore the letter? I would hate to see any violence on the #OWS people’s part and they are calling for non-violent resistance. Any violence on their part will be blown out of proportion,let the city tart the violence. Call in Captain Bologna to lead the police. To the Rank and file NYPD: Remember it was Wall St. Banksters that stole your pensions. You too are the 99%! » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 8:30 pm Hello, j’avaz, Occupy Phoenix has been very active on twitter and I have been retweeting them for the last couple of days. » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 7:28 pm e’cat, here is another poll we can vote at: Do ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Protests Represent Your Views of the Economy? Even their poll has it 2/3’s for the #OWS movement. » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 7:01 pm I like this piece from “The Monkey Cage.” Both the civil rights movement and the Tea Party were created to serve specific constituencies—in the first case, African Americans suffering under the burden of Jim Crow in the South; in the second, older, white middle-class Americans who saw themselves as victims of an overweening federal government. “This is about the people who work hard to bring home the bacon and want to keep it”, one Tea Party group declared. In contrast, Occupy Wall Street puts forward few policy proposals and has a shifting configuration of supporters as it spreads across the country…But policy platforms are not the point of this new kind of movement. Charles Tilly, the late Columbia sociologist, divided movements into three types, based on the policies they demand, the constituencies they claim to represent, and the identities they are trying to construct. Both the civil rights movement and the Tea Party combined the first and second goals. Occupy Wall Street is what we might call a “we are here” movement. Asking its activists what they want, as some pundits have demanded, is beside the point. Participants are neither disillusioned Obama supporters, nor or a “mob,” as House Majority Leader Eric Cantor cynically described them. By their presence, they are saying only, “Recognize us!” “Recognize us! And do something for the 99%. NOW!” » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 5:45 pm People in the know, read PlanetPOV. 😉 » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 3:09 pm Oh there is no doubt about it, KT, this action by Bloomy and the owners is cohabitational. » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 2:47 pm KT, I had a hard time tweeting this after what Reuters published today and it’s their lead story. » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 2:30 pm New poster being seen at #OWS.

The first time I voted it was close to 70% yes and now it’s 64% “Do ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Protests Represent Your Views of the Economy?” Vote early and vote often. 😉 » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 12:01 pm This is NOT an opinion peice, it’s an article from Reuters. What a hit piece and a load of crap. Reuters runs bizarre anti-OccupyWallStreet hit piece, using Limbaugh as proof Reuters has a new story that breathlessly concludes that George Soros is behind the entire #OccupyWallStreet venture because – wait for it – some kid saw a poster in a cafe criticizing Wall Street, the poster was made by a small group of arch-liberals in Canada, the arch-liberals in Canada receive a small amount of their funding (less than 5%) from the Tides foundation, and the Tides foundation receives some of their funding from George Soros. Get it? Reuters did forget to mention that George Soros is a Jew and has horns, but it’s implied. I’m astounded by how bad this article by Mark Egan and Michelle Nichols really is. You have to read it. They actually quote Rush Limbaugh as proof that George Soros is behind #OccupyWallStreet. This article reads like Joe McCarthy wrote it. More important than who’s behind the #OccupyWallStreet protests, I’d like to know who’s behind this Reuters’ “story”? Here is the “article:” http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/13/us-wallstreet-protests-origins-idUSTRE79C1YN20111013?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&rpc=71 » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 10:44 am Q’, someone has started an “Occupation Party” (net only?) and it has been disavowed by the people associated with the #OWS. They say they don’t want to be co-opted by politics. (?) » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 10:28 am AdLib, KT, as much as I like the Krugam article and the graph, the Bloomberg article really is a real look at the poor mouthing” of these jerks and their being serious! What a cocoon they are living in is amazing. » Posted By bito On October 13, 2011 @ 10:22 am Who does he think he is making that much, an RN? » Posted By bito On October 12, 2011 @ 4:15 pm Dean Baker raked David Brooks over the coals over his attitude.

Hard Times On Wall Street An era of decline and disappointment for bankers may not end for years, according to interviews with more than two dozen executives and investors. Blaming government interference and persecution, they say there isn’t enough global stability, leverage or risk appetite to triumph in the current slump. The trader, a 27-year-old Ivy League graduate, complained that he has worked harder this year and will be paid less. The headhunter told him to stay put and collect his bonus. “This is very demoralizing to people,” Karp said. “Especially young guys who have gone to college and wanted to come onto the Street, having dreams of becoming millionaires [….] the average salary in the industry in 2010 was $361,330 — five and a half times the average salary in the rest of the private sector in the city ($66,120). By contrast, 30 years ago such salaries were only twice as high as in the rest of the private sector.

Also ones that have more code after the word ’embedded’ also often don’t work. It’s not a problem with the Planet, it’s the U-Tube codes.
