And Occupy was stage four, some claimed it was a failure but it succeeded in bringing many issues to the forefront where they are now openly debated not to mention many groups have sprung up out of the Occupy Movement.
The unequal distribution of wealth has been aired out in the light of day leading to strikes by Wal-Mart and fast food workers which would be unheard in times gone by.
This year we seen the citizenry stand up to the president and the Industrial Military Complex to prevent a war with Syria.
You stand up to so many and rally random people who have nothing in common. Nothing is left after everything evaporates. As you saw with occupy wall street, at the end, they couldn't agree on even a basic statement. There was nothing to say beyond random bashing of wall street and the establishment. Ah, they also slept on the pavement. Great!
To make changes you need united and determined people that know what they want. Leadership is important. Can you name any grassroots leaders that stand out?
Occupy Wall Street Movement have adopted a new mantra: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. They began raising money to create a prepaid debit card. The card, which works like any other prepaid debit card, has a fee structure that includes a $1 monthly fee, a $1.95 fee for A.T.M. withdrawals, and $1 for balance inquiries. The card is integrated with Visa

??? I totally do not understand why people make fee ATM withdrawals, since all it takes is a modicum of planning to avoid ATM withdrawal fees. I plan to take out a few (extra) dollars when I go to the supermarket. At checkout, I pay for my groceries and ask for, say, $20 back, NO FEES.
People need to boycott JPMorgan Chase and B of A. Usurious criminals.
We’ve been having a colloquy over the last few days about whether government bonds constitute usury, which he has put up over at his site (here).
The basic thing to understand about usury, at least as St. Thomas approaches it, is that usury is selling what doesn’t actually exist.
What’s Wrong with the World. The example that finally drove it into my understanding was this:
Zippy sells Lydia a $10K bond he has written, secured only by his promise to pay principal and interest (and not by any actual assets). Lydia in turn sells Kristor a similar $10K bond that she has written, again secured only by her promise to pay. Kristor then sells Zippy an exactly similar $10K bond that he has written. Note that no change has occurred in the real wealth – the real productive capacity, the causal power – of any of the three. If any one of them defaulted, they’d all default, and they’d all be in the same situation they had been in before any of the notes were sold.
This is more or less what happened in the Crash of 08.
They also own those sleazy Cash Advance and Title Loan places. The military has ruled those places ILLEGAL usury loans.
We also need to stand up to Big Tomato for preventing a decent tasting tomato from reaching the store shelves.
The best tomatoes are the ones picked fresh off the vine. Nothing better!
