Your the one who cant tell me how standing in the street is causing economic prosperity or solving the economic crisis. If you realize you are wasting your time, you shouldnt take your anger out on me.
Tell that to Civil Rights activist or the Gay Rights activist who just won civil rights in this country.
I don't need to explain to you something that's been done before. Go do your research.
So, what are we to believe? We can't say that we both believe and disbelieve the FBI. Their report, in black and white, details the fact that they were aware of a plot to shoot and kill leaders of Occupy Wall Street groups in Texas, and perhaps across the nation.
The mainstream media does not seem to have much interest in this story. Information at the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund includes links to the FBI documents themselves, so their authenticity does not seem to be in doubt. Why has a plot to kill peaceful demonstrators in major US cities not been worth the notice of the corporate press?
he city of Philadelphia is the latest of a series of U.S. municipalities, following Houston a week ago, to sue some of the world's biggest banks for financial losses incurred in the Libor interest-rate rigging scandal.
Philadelphia sued nine banks and several subsidiaries on Friday in Pennsylvania Federal Court, seeking punitive and other damages and claiming that the banks' behavior "was nothing short of naked price-fixing."
FORTUNE -- When it comes to Wall Street scandals these days you can pretty much bet who the biggest loser will be: Your hometown.
The recent Libor fiasco is no different. The banks' alleged manipulation of the key benchmark interest rate may have cost municipalities, hospitals and other large non-profits as much as $600 million a year, according to one expert.
