Today marks the two month anniversary of the beginning of the Occupy Wall Street protests. Occupy protests will be held throughout our country and indeed around the world today. Considering the corporate elite ordered attempts to shut down the protests for the Christmas season, every person who is able should be out on the streets today. The corporate elite have flexed their money muscles, now it is time for us to flex our numbers.
I was amazed to see that every town in Oregon wherein I know somebody had a protest planned within fifty miles. I will be marching on Wall Street and Esplanade in Klamath Falls, Oregon this afternoon and I am taking some people with me. There is no excuse for anyone not doing something today.

At 1:00 am EST Tuesday morning, New York Police attacked the Occupy Wall Street protesters at Zuccotti Park, acting on orders from Mayor Bloomberg. The protesters were removed from the park and the police set up a perimeter. The protesters’ possessions were removed.
At 6:30 am New York Supreme Court Judge Lucy Billings issued a restraining order against the owners of the park, the police, and Mayor Bloomberg, ordering the parties to cease and desist and allow the protesters back into the park with their tents and sleeping bags.
The order was ignored and the police held the park. Mayor Bloomberg stated that our Constitution, though it allows freedom of speech, does not allow tents and sleeping bags as a part of that freedom of speech.

Below is the court order issued by New York Supreme Court Justice Lucy Billings. If you or I did not act immediately in this situation we would be sitting in jail.
As of 2:30 pm EST Zuccotti Park remains closed in defiance of the court order.

These petitions were sent to us by Angel. She also reports that the arrests are still going on. NYPD seems to be keeping them out of all parks. They showed up in riot gear to keep them out of Trinity Park (private, but fenced off for renovations) and right now they’ve arrested dozen+ at a park in Tribeca. They’re trying to return to Liberty Park (major gathering @ 11am EST) but are still being kept out (more arrests). Bloomberg canceled his trip to DC today in order to block the court order at the hearing this afternoon.

Mayors in cities across the nation are ordering crackdowns on the Occupy protesters. One talking head in the mainstream media said, “The Oakland police are working to keep people off of the public grounds.” We need to look at this situation. Under our Constitution we are all supposed to be equal. This means the dirtiest, stinkiest protester is supposed to have every right and consideration that George Soros does. But what we see occurring is the officials, who are supposed to represent all of us equally, are sending street thugs to abuse the 99% majority of us in enforcing the dictates of the 1%.
The propagandists are citing as cause for the actions against the protesters, health and security issues. They say crime has gone up 10% in and around the protest zones. Could it be that crime is rising naturally as a result of a million more citizens running out of unemployment benefits?

The GOP debate in South Carolina on Saturday evening was centered on US foreign policy and as Dr. Ron Paul is the only candidate advocating for an end to the foreign wars and the return of our troops from 139 countries around the world, he was practically removed from the proceedings.
The mainstream propagandists on both the phony left and the phony right are pronouncing Mitt Romney as the GOP candidate in 2012, though not a single primary has yet been held. Well I guess that is their reality. Unfortunately for them they only represent 20% of the population.
Many are outraged over the fact that Dr. Paul was limited to a mere 89 seconds of speaking time during the debate. We have to realize that the more egregious the media exemptions become, the surer we can be that Dr. Paul’s popularity is growing exponentially.

Peace through mutually assured destruction. This is the theology that fostered the Cold War. The United States spent $5.5 trillion to assure the destruction of the Soviet Union which bankrupted itself to assure our destruction. Both countries now possess enough nuclear weapons to destroy the entire planet many times over.
And what is the current threat that could lead us to that eventuality? One hypothetical nuclear bomb in Iran. Israel possesses over 120 nuclear warheads. There can be no question that the Israelis possess the nuclear capability to completely destroy Iran.
After the US bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the Soviet Union scrambled to develop their own nuclear capability. Why? Because they had been put at a disadvantage. We have to remember that in those days the US was decidedly anti-communist and the people of the Soviet Union saw US nuclear capability as a decisive threat to their belief system and way of life.

The jails and prisons of the United States are literally jammed full of US citizens who have harmed no other person for so called victimless crimes, like possession of marijuana. One of the cornerstones of our justice system, before the Patriot Act and the takeover of our court system by the corporations, was the great writ; that is habeas corpus, which is Latin for “produce the corps” which is to say you cannot have a crime without a victim.
Now let’s talk about some crimes with victims. Just in the State of Illinois alone, a hundred fugitives, facing charges of murder, rape, and other serious felonies, have fled across the border back to where they came from, Mexico. These illegal aliens are coming into our country and committing violent felonies, some capitol, and then returning home to live out their lives, unhampered by the past.
