Irony Free, Corporate Bi-Partisanship

This was a real ad. It's supposed to be an advert for Coca-Cola, but it seems more like an ad for the Green Party or Occupy Movement:



Yup. The Democrats and Republicans get together to celebrate their loyalty to corporate America.

Not only that, but a corporation that HIRED ASSASSINS TO MURDER UNION LEADERS.

It's like a political cartoon, except... it's not.

Occupy Atlanta - "The class war has been brought to us"

"We no longer have a choice between resistance and complacency; the choice is now between resistance and annihilation."


"The nights are cold and hostile to those without homes, many of whom are swallowed by the city. These deaths should be seen as casualties of war.

"Every man woman and child who freezes to death on the streets that run through the shadows of the Marriot, Georgia Power, Coca-Cola Plaza, and Georgia Pacific, are being murdered..."

Acronym TV: Top 10 Subtextual statements in Obama's SOTU

The State of the Union- Occupy Wall Street Style



Here we have a group of Occupy DC people from Freedom Plaza and McPherson Square protesting the Presidents speech. To summarize: Words from the President usually do not reach the average individual on the street. The neglect of this nation needs courage, leadership, and committment... Obama in his first 3 years displays none of these qualities.

Occupy The SEC


This video is currently uploading on non-broadband internet. It will take 30 min. If you would like to help me upload content faster, please donate by clicking in the sidebar, and once I get enough monthly subscribers, I'll be able to purchase a faster internet connection.

Also, here's an online petition form to the SEC from Public Citizen you can use in the short term.

And while that's nice and all, you should really get your ass down to DC and complain in person.

So the SEC, if they had done their job, Wall Street would not have fucked up the entire world economy. Or at least not as badly as they did.

The Newsletter Version

The SEC, charged with regulating wall street, has largely not done their job, or worse, actively helped to cover up the crimes of wall street.

The SEC is a lynchpin intersection between Washington, DC and Wall Street.

On March 30th, there is a mass mobilization in DC that I'm sure you all know about. We should start planning now to occupy the SEC in March, and begin shining a light on how corrupt they are.

This is a critical target, and is a good target to utilize the "identity triangle" method of contrasting who our target is, and what they say they are, the conflict between what they say they do, and what they actually do. The conflict between what they say reality is, and what actual reality is.

If we can weaken the collusion at this juncture between Washington DC and Wall Street, we can start really making a massive dent in the power structure.

AnnoyYour Congresspeople from Home



You know how annoying it is to get robocalls from presidential, congressional, etc campaigns? Well, since your congresspeople like robocalls so much, why not use their own most annoying fundraising tool to call congress?

You can record a message ahead of time, and then send it to every member of congress. It's like being able to be here to lobby, without ever having to leave home, get time off from work, or find a sitter for the kids.

Santorum's Staff and NH Police Assault Occupy NH and Vermin Supreme

In Case You Missed It:

"After answering the same questions over and over here in New Hampshire, Sen. Santorum has become a pullstring homophobic speak'n'say." - Vermin Supreme

Vermin Supreme - Lesser Known Candidates Forum



I love that Randal Terry had to share this panel with Vermin Supreme.

This is worth watching until the very very very last second.
