The irresponsible and untended (where ARE their nannies?) children need focus. They lack focus. They need leaders. They need 3 well articulated goals. Not 2, not 4. Three.
And so on.
We see how it goes today in Oakland… So many entities will be working against it… POA, the Oakland Police Officers Association run by a nasty thug, and the Oakland Chamber of Commerce have been all over the media…
Oh yes and never-to-be-forgotten, BART… an Oakland thug all on its own.
City thugs, state thugs, Federal thugs… Here a thug there a thug…we are crawling with thugs. Lots and lots of Federal thugs will be out and about, esp at the Port of Oakland…

I see 6 – 7 PM was:
Urban Squatting and Vision for Restructuring Governance.
Lay abouts, trust fund kiddies, old hippies who haven’t washed their feet in 40 years…
Yup.
A link Madman psted at the end of the last thread:
New Yorkers in Marie Antoinette costumes throw Let Them Eat Cake protest at mayor’s mansion”
If anyone’s interested, I finally got around to moving my journal off LJ and onto Dreamwidth.
Like so.
Happy November! 😀
Thanks for that.. I will update the old blogrolliana….
😉
Great. I will prove worthy of my fame by posting at least one more time this year. :p
Don’t know how I missed this, but Nouriel Roubini jumped on the bandwagon back in September.
http://www.economonitor.com/nouriel/2011/09/22/full-analysis-greece-should-default-and-abandon-the-euro/
I agree with that.. Greece needs to go back to the drachma and wave buh-bye to the EU mess…
Dig this, from the KKE
Nothin like Casual Friday
whoops this is the particular link …
Tha worked Thanks!!
oh people are shaking in their boots. The commies are coming!! Commies Marxists Trots…. and so on.. heading straight for us…. they are they are!!
You know decades ago I loved The Mike Douglas Show, I’d flop in the floor after school to watch it… an old Irish crooner, puppy dog eyes, bad toupee and practicing Catholic… AND the show was an Ailes baby… but I lvoed it, before the day (and that would be TODAY!) when people ONLY appear to hawk somthing, on that show if you were in Cleveland and were of note in some way, dropped a dime to call Ailes or whomever… you just came on in… anyway one day … the actress from Laura was on… and spoke of her mental illness… and how she would know if she was sinking into bi polar, schizophrenia or whatever manic state plagued her…
ANYWAY the example she gave was if she heard herself at a party say, The Commies Are Coming… she’d know the illness was descending, send someone to find her husband and get her out of there and head for the doctor….
I Loved it! If only people understood what fearing a commie under every bed REALLY is all about

Under every bed? 😯 😉
Oh I think there should be one under every bed. Other wise it would be DISCRIMINATION.
I cannot get it to load… will try again in a bit.

sigh… too many computer problems lately.. one reason I am wandering around in my mind to go for an upgrade (not hte hardware, but getting off dial up)
Sorry. here’s the KKE home page

and this should be the original of the mil firings…

And FWIW, Daily Mail (I know!) is openly stoking a coup…
well … Papandreou is in a tough spot… like him or not, but they really ganged up on Greece when it dared to rotate in a [nominal] Leftischer party into the majority. Of course the right wing party htat held sway previously is treated like a non participant.
Thsi whole rigged game that has played out for years with the EU dangling membership to various of the former Eastern bloc, to Turkey to Greece and so on.
ugh.
I’m for whatever does maximum damage to the speculative parasites. What a congealing fuckball tho…. I do see Papandreou’s call for a referendum, ( and I wonder whether Merkel has a plausibly deniable hand in this as everyUSA!body indeed IS shocked! shocked!…..Well snookered Sarko and Goldman alum Wall Street whiz Gov’s aside, it works a way to pruning the more US&UK centric Banksters further,,,seems to me that’s what this latest move is really about, Whether the US and their anus-for-rent Sarko can extract JP Morgan, Cit,i and GS from their slam dunk assumptions that they’d get cushy cramdowns (see Corzine- Hell, who was fronting HIM the money for Chrissakes? )…. vs. the kind of write-offs necessary on the continent for THEM – Hello – respect for others THEM to, ah NOT MELT THE FUCK DOWN, and, as far as Merkel and/or notions (and degree) of “German” (translation: German PTB, lather rinse repeat) where such ambitions and world-view are concerned, whether they can assert themselves or not…
Lousy, lousy, nasty game all around. The Euro a Sorosian speculators wet dream on the way up, the Banksters AND EUC footsie all along… crafting, then bending EU admission rules to beggar thy neighbor : promoting private pillage upon state holdings in the Eastern Bloc….
I came across some blips today floating around attributed to Henry Kissinger on Greece
during Operation Atilla ….
Well, and not that I’d put anything past Kissinger, he’s not the only whackgendercider floating around the ole islands here either…
Yep, rootin for the communists in this one.
Happy to join ’em on the bed, in the bed, under cover- Hell I don’t care, whatever works, I’m flexible and willing to learn. 😆
( the KKE have 21 seats in the 300 seat Parliament.)
Papandreou has a 3 seat hold on his coalition,
and they just sacked their Joint Chiefs basically , uhm, to, ah, Stave off a coup, anyone?
and neither the right or the center left is happy with any of the cherrypicked cabinet ministrations either.
Seems …Everybody WANTS IN! …AND OUT! ::shock:

What a laugh it all is.
I still say it only went to shit at the G20 in London until AFTER they deployed The McCartney
snicker. In Cannes tomorrow, I fear the worst. I mean, what happens if desperate French authorities, you know, roll out Jerry Lewis or somethin’?
LOL
Watching Euro News… the protests look pretty big in Nice Cannes etc… they are blocked here ad there, masses of cops in black riot gear… but lots of people too.
“La Vie, Pas La Bourse” is a sign I see a lot: Life, not the money markets
They all-but evacuated Cannes for it…
I hope they checked under every bed.. 😉
Jeezus –
It’s all so Historic and fortressy and artsy-fartsy now…
I think the French police are shirkers… they should send a contingent to Oakland too.
😉
Slackers. Loafers. Freeloaders. LOL.
You know the French, they are under the bed with the designated household commie.
Disgraceful!

Some people really tempt me to buy an uzi…(including Sir Paul).
Thre is a new owner at KGO (Cumulus merged with Citadel and Cumulus took over at the station) and the previous Gen Manager is out… I am hopeful for some broom action. Ronn Owens has a huge “personal services” contract that is up next year.
I think cheap is going to be the order of the day… we shall see…
love the new CLOUD theme, so hip and current!!!! ….sigh …
I only tuned in to see what was happening in Oaktown, can’t view web videos; The..sans cable TeeVee (despite the money wasted on DIGITAL!!!!!!!! …) … is either untuneble to the freqwency or so hideous I have a visceral reaction …I so want to be there in Oakland.
KRON 4 covering it heavily this am.. and I have on KTVU 2 now…
Quan holding a presser.
Everything peaceful so far… last I heard they were at Wells Fargo…
I’ve been getting the ghastly, ghoulish, angular frozen pixelated bit on channel 2 FOX today (though usually able to receive that signal) …. though, have to say … I don’t at all mind the lack of audio.
They ran the Noon news on 2 a bit long… and the reporter, forget his name, on the ground in Oakland was good. He commented, “nothing to criticise unless you dislike unity”.
Works for me!
well ..it figures I’m not able to tune in when someone under the Fox network finally states something that rings true for people other than the powers that be.
(Fairly recently, I worked at a place which force fed FOX in the Cafteria and Lobby, ALL THE FUCK DAY LONG, talk about wanting to buy an uzi …hard to believe they’ve allowed a sane voice to speak …but I won’t complain)
hell KTVU covers interntaional news every night at 10PM. During the hour long news. I just don’t think being a FOX affiliate means you are, necessarily, consigned to hell.
Considering what a nasty clusterfuck MSNBC (to say nothing of the affilates of NBC when they wish to be) and CNN are, who cares anymore. I think Obama being so pissy about FOX jumped a line of sharks. Disney, GE? No clean hands.
and ..yeah, …they were hooked up, …no doubt Still R [& D], … just like a MOTHER FUCKER, … to the DC CAULDRON, … in SLY CON VALLEY …
I despise them all, I can’t even tune into NBC anymore, outside of local, 4-1, nor ABC, 7-1 …on my Fan[tas]cy, force fed by DemRat digital teevee.
I tried 4-1, a few times, will try again (was that DOktor Pill on there when I got that visceral wanna up heave reaction? ..or was that 20-1 …or 36-1 …Pubic TeeVee was doing vapiid toons and foodie taster tour re-runs of dying european countries …. talkin to myself sorry)
well despite all the dotted lines …that link works, at least until it doesn’t, in which case ….for possible future reference:

County of Aransas, 301 N. Live Oak, Rockport, Texas 78382
Aransas County Judge C. H. “Burt” Mills, Jr., 361-790-0100
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 2, 2011
ARANSAS COUNTY, TEXAS – Judge Burt Mills has today announced that Aransas County is aware of the video posted on YouTube regarding County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams, and the matter is now under review by the Police Department. Please refrain from communication with County offices or the Sheriff’s Department on this matter until the review has been completed. Calls, emails, and faxes only create disruptions for other ongoing county business. The public’s cooperation would be most appreciated.
The video is from 2004, so the authorities in whatever Texas Gulf Coast cesspool this thug operates in – I see the sicko is a Family Court Judge at that – – his cronies are already hem-hawing over statutues of limitations.
Daughter calmly states its part of her recovery.
6 years?
Hepefully there is not a statute of limitations for child abuse.
I asked mr_xeno about this. He said that if memory/what he’s read serves, there’s no limit involved, because he beat a disabled person. The statute is either different or non-existent in the case of a disabled victim.
oo thanks for that… !
and so hard of hearing that they strained on Wednesday to hear a federal judge
It looked like at least one of the men lived in an old trailer.
I wonder if they were just wishing.
Who knows.
What a sick, nasty, ugly blotch on such a fine VOCATION!!!!!! ™ ….ohhhh wait …
Perhaps at some point in time, that viciously perpetrated $US$ mythology: about those with the jawbs …and those without them ….. marked (as in pissed on) to be unemployable ™…. (.particularly those jawbs with such frightening power to destroy lives, such as his), will be put to it’s long overdue death.
Media is very thrilled they got what they needed, “violence” at the Oakland march…
windows broken and graffiti at a Wells Fargo, a BofA and a Whole Foods, either next door o close to each other, near Lake Merrit. After event film of course, nothing showng it happening.
”Protecting business” so clearly will be the excuse the next time they violently clear the Ogawa plaza… which is coming of course..
Just looking thru the gallery of the Veterans marching today in NYC… and the thread is ugly.
Too many people don’t understand that wars always radicalize at least some of the people who serve.
That’s what happens when you can’t grasp that Forrest Gump was fiction.
that wars always radicalize at least some of the people who serve.
isn’t it the truth?
I read a poll taken in Virginia Beach indicated large numbers of the mil want the wars over. And iirc that is where the special ops team that supposedly took down bin Forgotten is located…. And that is a pretty conservative area, or can be.
So many years, down the tubes. And more to come.
I have managed never to watch Forrest Gump. yeech. Not even on TV.
I wouldn’t try it again without a bucket of No-Doz, myself.
I remember the writer of the original book whining in some article about how the “Hollywood liberals” didn’t give him the compensation that they should.
So sad… :rolleye:
hmm NY Observer on Kelly and the NYPD. I gather he prefers Charvet ties. Just a regular joe!!
From an email I sent to a friend:
An update of the goings-on in PDX. A little less annoying and smarmy than the usual bORe!live fare:
Which isn’t saying much, but…
thanks for that… yeah not too annoying at all…
Even the “hip” rags here seem overly obsessed with talking about the booze, fights, shooting up. Emphasizing the chaotic or not-ready-for-primetime aspects.
I find this frustrating. Even if you believe that the people co-managing the encampments are not competent (at least in the accredited way that we associate with “Blue Ribbon Panels” and the rest of that nonsense), they’re trying to do something. Instead of just talking nonstop about what they’ll do someday.
A “real-time” update is also here.
people are utterly terrified of change, even change from something bad, and falling back on lazy accepted stories seems safer.
It is old, and depressing, to see these same stupid attacks over and over again.
Hell, I’m still waiting to see pictures of bottles pelting OPD stormtroopers.
I thought we all recycled that shit now. :p
I feel nostalgic for one of the pre-Hipsters who used to show up on LJ and whine about how the downtown anti-war protesters were messing up his work schedule. Or his bar hopping schedule. Whatever.
I suppose the majority of those dipshits have moved on to Twitter, et al. A really big loss for me.
JS photographer arrested while covering Occupy Milwaukee protest
Ten OccupyPortland protesters arrested for asking why they were being arrested
They arrest anybody for anything now. Don’t dare cross the police, the electeds, etc.
All of which forces them to draw down on Municipal credit lines…
people are drawn into this already, many just don’t know it yet…
I think I should remind everybody that we’re supposed to be talking about Herman Cain, or at least we would be if we REALLY cared about politics!
😈
That is all!
😆
I admit I am loving his fall………………… I hope he breaks his nose on the way down.
Talk about a man unravelling on his own. And to think he flustered and flopped around for 10 days, which imo Politico was kind to give him to come up with answers. SO finally they went with it.
Then it appears it may have been a Republican take down (gee is anyone shocked?)… Rovian or Perryan or Romneyian. Love it!!!
More please!
BHHM comment :
And another BHHM comment that went astray:
Watch the chicken and waffles crowd, already.
What?!!
In America? Really?? Noh!
And for anyone wondering the kind of reception ows is receiving, okay, here you have the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey # 3 commercial port in the US, and Philly still staggering on from one reprieve to another, but consider this from down Norfolk Virginia way, what’s goin on in Hampton Roads, 2nd major East Coast port, biggger than Tampa commercially and, uhm, think global naval operations….
Lots of friendly folk everywhere who’ve had it….
The article and the thread are very cheering…
Going to be hard to stop this…
oh that is cheering!
This just in from the lofty heights…
Oh they CARE!
They really do!
And Thanks for appearing on camera!!
And Thanks for helpin out!
Now YOU”RE SURE to be on the LIST! 😆
Maybe they could stop loading Rudolph down with bags of coal for the little people. Or, better yet, maybe they could jst STFUP
😆 😉 LUCID in thread over at IOZ
From the Occupy Oakland website
Looking at various online news sites, it looks like the number of protesters was deliberately and wildly underestimated, at an average 3,000. Pam Moore at KRON 4 News at 11:00 PM said the police estimated the crowd at about 7,000, despite the continually scrolling KRON news strip almost halving that at an estimated 4,500. They did admit the protest was incredibly peaceful and showed video of protesters grabbing two graffiti sprayers (wouldn’t surprise me if they were ops) who managed to get away; but yeah, no video of the window breaking though (which again, wouldn’t surprise if they were ops) There were no reported arrests. Two protesters were hit by a car some asshole tried to force through the crowd and were taken to the hospital.
They said there were still around 900 protesters remaining and that about 100 of them may occupy an emptied building.
At times on camera media, more than one, admitted to 10K… whcih tells me that it was more than that.
I mean, there were masses of people, they just kept coming to the Port… and even as people left the Port, they met others coming into the Port.
I think it was very successful…
it sounds as tho riot police may be “kettling” th occupiers left at 14th and Broadway… (12:25 am)
Police and police vehicles have blocked off side treets…. sounds like they are moving in.
Reports say about 1000 left in the big intersection…
Callers to KGO say they have seen no violence but the evidence of the cops moving in….
Fuckers … the live KRON footage noted how absolutely peaceful and layed back those remaining were.
Maybe they’ve been told to prevent a 3:00 AM march on the Port (KRON’s earlier evening broadcast noted that there may be a 3:00 AM march).
12:41 police have fired tear gas and “flash bangs”… AP is reporting.
just tuned into the KGO Gas Bag and heard the young woman saying the fuckers had the white buses …now gas bag is saying that AP reported it was due to bonfires in trash cans, and the tear gas has been fired.
The fire thing reminds me of a very suspicious fire that was lit at the November 2010 Mehserle protest (after we we had been kettled), which I still suspect may have been a/an op(s).
Even if it wasn’t suspicious (tonight) it sounds like a huge overreaction.
(and I do have to say, that there was a young woman in the jail cell I was in with quite a few wonderful wimmins, who brought the thought to my mind that she may have been in on that trash can fire (and for ulterior unkind purpose), and was in the cell as a thought/intent vacumme, …she seemed so unaffected by the horror of that quite illegal ARREST – in a pre dawn zone which could’ve almost been pictorially mistaken for the Middle East -…to my recollect …(I should have, and intended to, .. written it all down … about Human Beings, …actions, and thoughts ……but it was too overwhelming to do so at the time, …a time when a family emergency (wouldn’t have been near the emergency on a far better earth) reared it’s frightening head, two days later. …. Supposedly that woman was transferred to the wimmins prison (versus short stay jail), to my recollect, was she? …Then again, she could have been so abused, …being a young VOICELESS wimmin …that she somehow became immune to the threat of PRISON, ….and certainly had every right to light up a trash can in her anger at the INJUSTICE, and then some, which really did no long term harm to anyone.)
yup, beautiful! KRON didn’t have one interview of anyone griping either, two truckers who were interviewd were in full support … everyone was wonderfully energized … I loved it.
New
Link
………………… 🙄
Loved the young man that spoke on KGO around 2:40 AM.
Thanks for the Guardian link. The Daily Mail has “reported” at least one blatant lie, about “a five hour standoff” during the daytime marches.
interesting also, that they have excellent shots of those 3 or 4 anarchists, who smashed windows, yet there were no arrests made of those 3 or 4 that I heard of (not that anyone should los e too much sleep over broken bank windows, but to say it’s kind of interesting they weren’t arrested).
(sorry to post here getting a stupid “abort” trying to post on the current thread.)
UPI has five pictures, in a series of 30, which really capture the nasty, deliberate, totally unwarranted, pre dawn turn of events in Oakland after all the teevee news casts were over (with no arrests to report) and most were asleep in all four US Time Zones.
Target Practice?
I could be mistaken but is that a bloodied mouth Maybe that’s the man who was pushed onto the cement for no reason, after the dispersement order that many said couldn’t be heard?
Is this going to be the daily reality of our near future? Why not hog tie them while you’re at it …. bastards.
Clearly, the odds are 99.9999 to .0001 that weren’t any fires etc. before the swarm of riot police took over the streets. I hope the video that the early morning woman caller to KGO spoke about, re that fact, gets spread far and wide.
And yeah the size of the crowd was stunningly underestimated by The Fourth Estate ™, especially if anyone with a brain takes into consideration that there were protests in many different locations all at once.
hmmmm, …really bad choice of words I made (such a struggle now days between “haste makes waste,” …and, …“it is so very late in the day”) here:
I should have just written:
