MARINES TO OAKLAND POLICE: 'You Did This To My Brother'
Marines around the world are outraged by the injuries inflicted by police on Scott Olsen at Tuesday's Occupy Oakland protests. Olsen is in a medically-induced coma after getting hit in the head by a police projectile.

DEMAND THE SURRENDER OF THE COP WHO 'SHOT' SCOTT OLSEN IMMEDIATELY.
To not do so is to aid and abeit.
The tree of LIberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I believe that current events are exactly what Jefferson had in mind.
The 1% that control this country (financiers, bankers, politicians, etc...) have sold out this country and the ideals it has stood for. They have made a mockery of our Constitution. They disregard our laws. They have no respect for individual citizens or liberty. In their eyes, we are simply cattle that they can exploit for their own greedy purposes.
The 1%ers are guilty of treason. Unfortunately, the system will NOT hold them accountable. If you dont believe me on this, consider this.
In the financial crisis, trillions and trillions of dollars were spent/injected into the system to prevent it from collapsing - much of it needed to counteract the effects of fraud.
You can count on 1 hand the number of people that have been prosecuted as a result of the financial crisis. Thats right. Less than 5. And none of them are even close to senior management of these multinational banks that are responsible for all the problems that we face.
They have taken control of all the insitutions of power (financial, political, media, educational) and they will not relinquish their control without a fight.
Thomas Jefferson was right - and his opinion as a Founding Father of this country is worthy of our consideration and respect.
Where is the enemy now?
U.S. Marines deserve the truth every time they are called to duty. To do less is demeaning and satanic. Things like that do not disuade porcine personalities like the Bush cabal (including Hillary and Obama)
Thousands should descend upon every branch of the "Federal Reserve"
This is where the real problems lies. Where do you think our government got the money to bailout Wall Street?
Where did this money come from? They stole it from us(stock market, investments, our homes and our savings, fuel increases that increase our cost of living on all products we buy).
Most Americans have no clue that the "Federal Reserve" is a privately held bank. There is nothing federal about it.
Also, the IRS, is nothing more than a collection agency for the privately held federal reserve bank.
Put that into your thinking caps.
Do it peacefully. Do not give them what they are looking for.
The Police Raid on Occupy Oakland Was Nothing New for This City

We've seen it in Rome, Greece, Persia, China and every great kingdom that once stood so proud...then, the corruption grows. People prefer lust to love. People become over-sexed. People worship money, material & consume beyond what nature demands. People become ungodly, unnatural and refuse all forms of spiritual & NATUREal laws. Instead, we rob our brothers, have sex with those other than our spouses, let someone else raise our children, agree that morals are immoral, right=wrong, war=peace, ignorance=strength and we stuff our faces (and lives) with every bit of garbage we can fit into it, then we wipe our mouths and say that we've "done nothing wrong".
I wish we could truly "fix" this world. But we can't. We "might" be able to reduce the troubles for a short period (delaying the inevitable), but I feel even that time is gone. All we can do is escape this world. If we dig deep within ourselves, look there for the answers--->we'll find what we have need of. Love, Faith & hope. Not hope that this fallen world will somehow improve. It won't.
The cycle must be completed.
IMHO, the entire world is going to fall. Either great cataclysms, wars, pestilences or other catastrophes are going to change this world beyond anyone's comprehension and imagination. It has happened before, and its going to happen again. We are at the close of this scene. The curtain must close before the next scene begins.
Hope in that in the future scene, you'll be counted worthy to live better than this life. How? Do today what you know to be right & resist what you know to be wrong. Do this today & every day you have left.
You want to make the world fairer? Nicer? Kinder? Go, be kinder, nicer & fairer to everyone you see; do this today, and every day in every thought, word & deed. This ancient wisdom is & always was, simply the ONLY way.
They'd have dealt with the banksters, the Zionists and the lying scum who are bought and paid for by the industrial military complex and who pretend to be congressmen, senators and presidents by now. Was the crew of the USS Liberty not also brothers? Do any of you cretins care really or is it just a slogan once again?
Before gas goes into a crowd shield bearers have to be making no progress moving a crowd or the crowd must be assaulting the line. 3 warnings must be given to the crowd in a manner they can hear that force is about to be used. Shield bearers take a knee and CS gas is released in grenade form first to fog out the lines. They then would kick the canisters along in front of the lines (the soldiers would have gas masks). Projectile gas is not used except for longer ranged engagement or trying to steer the crowd ( i.e. firing gas to block a street off ). These are the rules for a war zone.
How did a cop accidentally shoot someone in the head with a 40mm gas canister? Simple, he was aiming at him.
The person that pulled that trigger sent that round out with the intention of doing some serious damage to the protestors. I don't care what the protestors were doing. That cop knows he was using lethal force against a protester, the same lethal force that soldiers are not allowed to use for crowd control.
The Military manual states:
…have a duty to collect and care for the wounded. Prioritize treatment according to injuries. Make NO treatment distinction based on nationality. All soldiers, enemy or friendly, must be treated the same.
Second, the officer threw a flash-bang directly into a group of people trying to carry him away for medical treatment. The "law enforcement" officers used the injured veteran as bait instead of rendering aid themselves in order to get some more licks in.
Here's the Military guidance on that decision:
Medical Personnel are considered out of combat if they are exclusively engaged in medical duties. (GWS, art. 24.) Doctors, surgeons, nurses, chemists, stretcher-bearers, medics, corpsman, and orderlies, etc..., who are “exclusively engaged” in the direct care of the wounded and sick.
The Law of Armed Conflict, (LOAC), also called the Law of War, is designed to prevent unnecessary suffering of civilians and to minimize damage to infrastructure such as electrical power, water, and buildings during a conflict. LOAC requires the United States (and other countries) to conduct operations in a disciplined manner consistent with our national values.
When did shooting into a crowd of unarmed non hostile U.S. civilians become a disciplined manner consistent with our national values?

It is an extreme shame that a veteran whose understanding of the rule of law is injured by men who follow no law but happen to have badges. Where are our national values these days when people in a foreign land have greater recourse granted by the U.S. government than American citizens...

These are excellent comments. They remind me of conversations I had as a boy with my old man, a USMC artillery captain who served in Vietnam.
It seems we have arrived at a point where it is time for us all to act. And while it is true that the Federal Reserve is the head of our collective enemy, for most of us, as a practical matter, we can't get to the head. It is remote, and well-guarded at any rate. However, we can get to the tentacles, and our numbers are MASSIVE. So let me suggest a couple things:
(1) If you bank at 1 of the big 4--BofA, Citibank, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo--pull out ASAP. Move to a credit union or, if you require national access, go to US Bank or 5th Third. There is a meme about--false--that this won't hurt these banks. The people who truck this are paid to do so. Don't believe it. Get your money--which for 99% of us means our labor--out.
(2) Stay local and barter whenever possible. Do whatever it takes not to feed this dying machine with taxes and fees.
(3) Stop watching TV (except for the World Series and other necessary sporting events; and even here, ask yourself how it is that BofA and Citigroup can afford such lavish ads).
(4) Go to you local #Occupy movement and sit in on a General Assembly. I guarantee you'll learn something.
We'll never score a quick kill. That's simply TV fantasy talk. However, the sum of our individual acts has incredible force. The 1% understands this, and is working overtime to make the 99% complacent.
Don't fall for it. Every time you act, the elite, which is scared toi death as it is, gets pushed farther back on its heels.
I fully understand why my grandparents never trusted the banks after the Depression, they hid money everywhere.
At this point, I honestly don't give a shit about my health or welfare. I am too busy trying to reach as many people as humanly possible with the truth, which is that the so-called leaders of this country don't give a flying fuck about its people, and thus that it's time for ordinary peiple to get together and figure out a way out of this shit.
That, I think, is really the gist of the #Occupy movement.
That said, I'm heading out to Vietnam Indiana today. The people there are absolutely rock solid. No accident that the Amish chose the soil there as their own. You couldn't pick a better place to weather an apocalypse.
look at all the bombs and listen to all the gun fire. This was a
coordinated attack. The people should burn Wall Street to the
ground. Notice the videos show not rocks and bottles being
thrown by the crowd. We can lay to rest that lie.
But the vast majority of Americans are nice, conforming sheeple who have bought the propaganda , consume like they are told, take there SSRI or other unneeded medications and watch stupid drivel on television.
They will whine and moan about the "hard times" and do absolutely nothing to change the intolerable situation we have let ourselves be subjected to.
If you value freedom, get up off your ass and make yourselves heard. Voting will do nothing, our freedom to vote is a little like saying someone being executed have freedom because they get to choose hanging or a firing squad.
Wake Up America!
