Thomas Jefferson (yes - that Thomas Jefferson) wrote:

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.

Didn't we justbomb the hell out of Libya and murder Gaddafi because he attacked protestors?

Where is the enemy now?

Rupert, the U.S. bombed Libya for Britannia. We will get the bill. Obummer does what he is told by whoever is in the room. His handlers make sure that is only a select few. All loyal to the Britannia alliance of the central banking system and the grand patron of freemasonry, not to be confused with true masons. Hillary laughed herself silly on national television thinking about the pain and suffering of the Libyan people dealt with her help. She is sick and should be institutionalized before she can strike again.

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)

Wrong targets.

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.

God gave that Marine the Right to protest against unjust treatment by the 1 percent ruling over us in an evil way. The Constitution and Bill of Rights merely state what rights we have that are God-given. Stop working for the elite for a whole week and turn your backs on them, TV, bars and other distractions. Grow food, start barter groups, take your money out of the banks, stop doing anything that will benefit the 1 percent. They will have to listen then. No more compliance, just turn your backs on the System once and for all. And if they attack you in your homes, fight back with full intensity. We outnumber them, now realize that and stop being afraid.

Scott, your Country salutes you for your service here and abroad. Our thoughts and prayers are for your speedy recovery. You are a true American Hero. You were heroic to stand your ground and hold a flag for peace. You may not know this now, but you have galvanized a movement for political freedom. Semper Fi!

This world makes everyone sick. It is run by sickening, diseased minds. Sadly, we can not change this world, at least not very much and not for very long. If one looks at history, one sees that this happens cyclically. We are at the end of our current cycle. Certainly America & by extension Europe and the West in general are about to fall; Most likely the entire planet will.
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.

Lowlives. You can carry on a treat now that "one of your own" gets hurt, yet you have been blindly following orders as you killed millions in their own lands for obvious and transparent lies. If the US Marines had any balls, if they were true to the slogans they spout off with, then they'd have done something about the domestic enemies which have brought the USA to the brink of total collapse before now.

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?

Shooting canisters such as those that likely hit Scott Olsen is prohibited under rules of engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet apparently in a "free society" it seems that basic rules of engagement against your fellow citizens who are breaking no law do not apply.

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?

http://www.operationalmedicine.org/TextbookFiles/FMST_20008/FMST_1304.htm

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...

Head of the octopus, ladies and gentlemen. I hope they didn't customize Olsen when he was under. The bad guys are backed against the ropes, even though their nasty army is still run amok. These cops are followers, not leaders. Sieze the offending leaders and they will mellow out. Bush cabal. Multiple genocides against American citizens in the U.S.. Hint. Hint. 911. GOM oil well blow out. Fukushima. HAARP warfare. Of course Obama's flunkies won't react. Obama kept the circle jerker SEC that Bush43 hired. His AG is the most lost looking suit in DC. At least Barney Frank had direction. Piss poor direction. Obama is Bush's punk.

To S. Gompers et al.--

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 moved my money 2 years ago Cheyenne, lived the other stuff my whole life. Ironically I had my money tied up in the Savings and Loans in the 80's, fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me... I also still grow most of my food even though this was a bad year. How did it work out on your little piece of paradise in northern Indiana, or were you to busy making the movie? I tried to get registered on your site some months ago and never heard anything.

I fully understand why my grandparents never trusted the banks after the Depression, they hid money everywhere.
Oct 29, 2011 at 9:02 AM | Unregistered CommenterS. Gompers
The movie took over my life. But, we shot the opening scene at a honky tonk bar in Stroh, Indiana, so I reckon it worked out.

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.

More than one cop attacking, the whole police force is guilty.
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.

Our country is losing what our forefathers intended for this country. Politicians are taking the country on a path that can lead to destruction. American citizens without guns and demonstrating peacefully are being attacked as though this is Egypt, Lybia, or Iran. American citizens have guns as a right of our constitution, if governments do not allow peaceful demonstrations, it will be their actions that bring on civil war.

Although I hope with all my heart this evil Juggernaut might be destroyed, I fear this will not be the case. Those of you who stand in protest against the 1% and our own Draconian government are heroes.
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!

Some comments above (e.g., a call to arms, etc.) make me chuckle! You REALLY think the 1% don’t expect this potential response – and have not planned for it – and are not prepared for it? They’re just testing the waters right now! Later, as (perhaps) a thousand of us 99%-ers go a-marchin’ in toward the State Capital on Main Street with our .22’s, deer rifles, and shotguns, prepare to be mowed down by a well organized, disciplined, well equipped, and merciless military machine! No. Not our guys, because, I reckon, somewhere along the bloody trail, they will have realized what’s REALLY going on and developed sympathy for our cause ... I’m talking ‘bout United Nations’ troops: foreigners who don’t give a flying F*** for us or our Constitution. Desperate Times call for desperate measures. We KNOW who the 1%-ers are. So, what are we waiting for …; for things to get worse?

This comments for all those delusional retards talking about inciting revolution. Just try it, just try toppling the government and fighting riot control, swat, the national guard, and eventually the U.S. military. See how your revolution goes when your .22s and molotvs and rocks are met with m 16s and grenades. They will slaughter you by the thousands... its what they do for a living, just ask Iraq. Sorry to ruin your plans but I thought you might all like to know you are retarded and would be essentially committing suicide and creating a police state
