UNITED MISSION STATEMENT (disseminate at will)

Expect us. You brushed us aside and ignored us. Now look, your sites get hacked, your criminal activities (such as “Fast and Furious”) exposed, banks are losing customers en masse, and now a worldwide uprising has been created and we won’t stop until your parasitic, destructive system is destroyed and all its criminals behind bars and, if applicable, impeached.

Initial Demands:

-Keep corporations out of politics/no more lobbying (which is essentially a bribe)/Firewall between Corporations and State

-Reversal of Citizens United ruling (Classifies Corporations as “The People” when convenient; allows them to “contribute” unlimited funds to politicians)

-Hold Corporations accountable for their numerous (and often horrific) crimes like you would a regular citizen, here and abroad if they are an American company. (If you still classify them as people, then not only do the high ranking employees face criminal charges, but the corporation itself must be “jailed”, operations shut down, computers and files locked away for duration of sentence. (Haliburton, Nike, Monsanto…the list is long)

-Criminal enterprises disbanded and high level members prosecuted for racketeering, fraud, conspiracy, and treason (such as Wall Street, CEOs looting pension funds, the unconstitutional and not at all Federal Reserve***, Goldman Sachs {Obama’s leading donor}, etc.) There are many beltway attorneys willing to prosecute if protected. Spitzer was trying, then got “honey trapped”

-THE QUICKEST GOAL TO ACHIEVE: Clear the Supreme Court’s schedule and have them rule on the legality of the IMF hub Federal Reserve while using military to protect them and their families while also monitoring these public servant’s bank accounts

-No more unions for government employees

-Eliminate all Tax Loopholes

-A law making one ineligible for Public Office if worked (or immediate family worked) on Board for multi-national Corporation

-Locate and eliminate tax havens for tax evaders, the greediest of the greedy

-End the Patriot Act

-End the Wars (including Drug War)

-Impeach and prosecute the complicit politicians and bankers (including Obama, and tried for war crimes those who came before)

-Expose Economic Hitman and arrest them and their bosses

-Expose and Outlaw FBI/CIA created terrorism internationally and domestically

-More checks and balances for cops and stiffer penalties for egregious abuses such as loss of pension and jail time (and they must pass a constitutional test before getting job)

-Allow/Remove restrictions for much more independent media across the nation (ala Italy)

Please spread around at least some of these to as many people as possible. Make Youtube videos. Make your own fliers. Add your own points if it doesn’t drift too far; that will merely cause dissent among us which is what they want. Remember, ixnay on taxes. Talk of taxes WILL DOOM the movement!!! Whether or not you agree on taxing the 1% more doesn’t matter because the .01% will find a way to steal that money too.

Many mid-level Government employees don’t want to see the country burn, nor do most of the military. So get them on board, they are the 99.99% too. Otherwise, we will either bring the whole system crashing down, starting anew community by community, or the current way will turn us all into serfs until humanity is more than decimated.

We won’t stop. Expect us.

***Each of the U.S. Federal Reserve Banks can be dissolved today by an act of Congress or “forfeiture of franchise for violation of law.” How the American people can end the unconstitutional control of their money using the Federal Reserve interest bearing counterfeit Note is codified in the United States Code, TITLE 12 CHAPTER 3 SUBCHAPTER IX § 341: www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/uscod ... 2_00000341——000-.html General enumeration of powers. What laws have the Federal Reserve violated that would warrant their immediate forfeiture? Counterfeiting, money laundering, trafficking of counterfeit Federal Reserve Notes, securities fraud, fraud, insider trading, extortion, and embezzlement.

Only the Congress of the U.S., which comprises of the Senate and the House of Representatives has the power to coin and issue the U.S. money supply and regulate the value thereof? [Article 1 Section 1 and Section 8] Nowhere, in the Constitution does it give Congress the power or authority to transfer any powers granted under the Constitution to a private corporation. Therefore the Federal Reserve is null and void.

Enacting the Impossible (On Consensus Decision Making)

Posted Oct. 29, 2011, 9:55 p.m. EST by David-Graeber

On August 2, 2011 at the very first meeting of what was to become Occupy Wall Street, about a dozen people sat in a circle in Bowling Green. The self-appointed “process committee” for a social movement we merely hoped would someday exist, contemplated a momentous decision. Our dream was to create a New York General Assembly: the model for democratic assemblies we hoped to see spring up across America. But how would those assemblies actually operate?

The anarchists in the circle made what seemed, at the time, an insanely ambitious proposal. Why not let them operate exactly like this committee: by consensus.

It was, in the least, a wild gamble, because as far as any of us knew, no one had ever managed to pull off something like this before. Consensus process had been successfully used in spokes-councils  —  groups of activists organized into separate affinity groups, each represented by a single “spoke” — but never in mass assemblies like the one anticipated in New York City. Even the General Assemblies in Greece and Spain had not attempted it. But consensus was the approach that most accorded with our principles. So we took the leap.

Three months later, hundreds of assemblies, big and small, now operate by consensus across America. Decisions are made democratically, without voting, by general assent. According to conventional wisdom this shouldn’t be possible, but it is happening  —  in much the same way that other inexplicable phenomena like love, revolution, or life itself (from the perspective of, say, particle physics) happen.

The direct democratic process adopted by Occupy Wall Street has deep roots in American radical history. It was widely employed in the civil rights movement and by the Students for a Democratic Society. But its current form has developed from within movements like feminism and even spiritual traditions (both Quaker and Native American) as much as from within anarchism itself. The reason direct, consensus-based democracy has been so firmly embraced by and identified with anarchism is because it embodies what is perhaps anarchism’s most fundamental principle: that in the same way human beings treated like children will tend to act like children, the way to encourage human beings to act like mature and responsible adults is to treat them as if they already are.

Consensus is not a unanimous voting system; a “block” is not a No vote, but a veto. Think of it as the intervention of a High Court that declares a proposal to be in violation of fundamental ethical principles — except in this case the judge’s robes belong to anyone with the courage to throw them on. That participants know they can instantly stop a deliberation dead in its tracks if they feel it a matter of principle, not only means they rarely do it. It also means that a compromise on minor points becomes easier; the process toward creative synthesis is really the essence of the thing. In the end, it matters less how a final decision is reached—by a call for blocks or a majority show hands—provided everyone was able to play a part in helping to shape and reshape it.

We may never be able to prove, through logic, that direct democracy, freedom and a society based on principles of human solidarity are possible. We can only demonstrate it through action. In parks and squares across America, people have begun to witness it as they have started to participate. Americans grow up being taught that freedom and democracy are our ultimate values, and that our love of freedom and democracy is what defines us as a people—even as, in subtle but constant ways, we’re taught that genuine freedom and democracy can never truly exist.

The moment we realize the fallacy of this teaching, we begin to ask: how many other “impossible” things might we pull off? And it is there, it is here, that we begin enacting the impossible.

The article describes the ultimate in freedom and liberation. However, those gathering are homosapiens who, history has proven, will take advantage and turn consensus into lawlessness.

Too bad we are not better disciplined and more compassionate. The human is too ready to play one upmanship and usurp power when authority is absent.

Cynic!

I think I would argue that most people mean well for others, but they also, in too many cases, confuse "what is good for me is good for everybody". Much of the excesses of what we today call liberalism come from confusing compassion with giving people whatever they need OR want rather than requiring them to earn it. And actually that doesn't work because it is not the way people operate. Putting someone to work to where they earn their own keep is one of the most compassionate actions one can take. Welfare doesn't work because all it does is remove the need to get up off of one's ass and do something and deprives people of the sense of accomplishment in having done it.

I think the small percentage that do pervert and twist and deceive create an ill effect is well out of proportion to their true numbers, and many so-called liberals are closet totalitarians who preach freedom while planning enslavement.

Agreed.

Cynic? Okay ... so I've lived to long!
