In light of the Penn State scandal, I wonder if it will turn out like the Catholic church scandal? Money over morality?

Stewart: ‘What the f*ck happened in Oakland?’


Once again, Stewart drives the point home with a velvet sledgehammer and whoopee-cushion.

Infographic: Why China is Kicking Our Ass in Clean Tech | One Block Off the Grid: The Smart New Way to Go Solar

As the European Union announced today that they are seeking funding for the Greek bailout from outside countries such as China... meanwhile back at the Ranch, the US is fighting over the dwindling scraps from fossil fuels, spending TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to secure the finite black gold, our Most Favored Nation spends $1 on renewables for every $4 in defense as the US spends $1 for every $41. As we squabble over tax-cuts for the top 1% and blame our woes on teachers, immigrants and social security, we sink deeper in hock to our red neighbors who fill the shelves for us at Wal-Mart for pennies on the dollar at the compared of our labor workforce. And what about responding to the economic crisis and our whining about Obama wanting to pour money into our crumbling infrastructure?

"In China, a 4 trillion yuan ($586 billion) stimulus package launched when the global financial crisis slowed exports is already bearing fruit. The Communist Party's routine suppression of public dissent means projects tend to get done – and quickly." Click here to view the original post

Chris Hedges: "This one could take them all down." Hedges on OWS




Of all people to acknowledge that this movement has traction is encouraging to say the least.

When Jesse LaGreca was asked about what kind of advice to give if you are interviewed at these events he said,

“One: be camera ready. Have your camera on you so if there is a media slant, you can capture it.

Two: have a coherent message. Tell people exactly why you are here…not what other people are doing. The overarching theme here is that people are being screwed, but that can’t be summed up in a soundbite-ready statement. However if you tell the media your personal story, it’s the most touching, the most effective way to communicating to people why they should be here as well.”

Chris knocked his interview out of the park.

They just want to have a party



OWS movement through the corporate MSM's eyes. Nothing to see here but a bunch of lazy hippie kooks... move along.
