What does it take to get the USA government to do the work of the people?
There is gross injustice in the USA when protesters of legitimate unaddressed problems are arrested, oppressed, prosecuted, ridiculed and further victimized while the wealthy priviledged 'go forward' uninterrupted with an agenda to end the Middle Class and impose suffering on those that live and work within the borders of the USA.
...In an interview, (click title to entry - thank you) Graham Cluley, a senior technology consultant at Sophos, called the latest technique by Anonymous "devilishly sneaky." In previous attacks, Anonymous enlisted supporters on a volunteer basis by calling on them to download a "low orbit ion cannon" -- a piece of software that launches large packets of data that overwhelm websites of organizations as a means of protest. Distributed Denial of Service attacks, known as DDoS for short, were responsible for helping Anonymous bring down the websites of Visa and Mastercard in 2010 in retaliation for their decision to cut ties with Wikileaks.
Cluley said Anonymous supporters have grown accustomed to clicking on links posted on the group's Twitter accounts, some of which have more than 200,000 followers, to read press releases about their latest exploits. But this time, he said, Anonymous supporters who clicked on the malicious link joined the attack and may have accidentally broken the law.
"If you participate in such an attack, you could find yourself receiving a lengthy jail sentences," Cluley wrote in a blog post.
Law enforcement has cracked down on participants in such attacks. Last July, the FBI announced charges against 14 people dating back to December 2010, when Anonymous members temporarily brought down PayPal's website in retaliation for the company suspending payments to the whistle-blower site Wikileaks....
During the Holiday, demonstrators provided a written note to President Obama stating, "4000 Protesters Have Been Arrested."
Justice is indeed blind. As millions of Americans were looking with hope at the bailout of Wall Street, they were abandoned. As they realized a generation of Americans were without hope for a future of work and career, they were coveted for political gains or losses. As they were validated over and over and over again across the country the problem was indeed a problem, they were held at arms length. As they were welcome to demonstrate to bring attention to the legitimate problem all too real in their lives, they were arrested, displaced, prosecuted, their personal property confiscated and/or destroyed, their libraries regarded as trash and without ceremony abandoned by their Department of Justice. There hope for recognition and acceptance left to diminish and fade along with their devotion to purpose.
Not exactly "Google Headquarters."
German national Kim Dotcom, also known as Kim Schmitz, was one of four men arrested on Friday, a day before his 38th birthday, in an investigation of the Megaupload.com website led by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The group was accused of engaging in a scheme that took more than $500 million away from copyright holders and generated over $175 million in proceeds from subscriptions and advertising.
A police official said dozens of officers, backed by helicopters, forced their way into the mansion, nestled in lush, rolling farmland, after Dotcom refused them entry, a scene more reminiscent of a high-octane spy drama than the usual policeman’s lot in rural New Zealand....
"Oppression" and "Protectionism" at a time when communication among the citizens is important to life.
...The popular file-sharing site (click title to entry - thank you) was shut down this week by federal prosecutors in Virginia, who accused the defendants of causing more than $500 million in damages for copyright holders of pirated music, movies, video games and other content. Hip-hop producer Swizz Beatz was revealed as a silent partner and the company's CEO, though he was not included on an initial list of seven defendants. Four of the seven were arrested Friday morning in New Zealand, after a standoff at Dotcom Mansion – named for the site's alleged founder, who goes by the name Kim Dotcom (born Kim Schmitz). The other three defendants reportedly remain at large....
The Injustice of the USA that dominates its benevolence.

Imagine (click title to entry - thank you) having the energy to march from Western to the Federal Building in downtown Bellingham every Friday.
Now imagine holding signs until your hands are sore, until your voice is gone and your feet are uncomfortable, all in an effort to protest against war or social or economic inequality.
This is Bellingham’s tradition.
…Bellingham gets occupied
City governments carry the cost for handling movements that are at the level of federal government, McShane said.
“As for the Occupy movement, I do think this protest is good,” McShane said….
Today, Occupy Bellingham is the community’s most recent social movement.

The citizens are not interested in the "Wall Street Image."
They don't care about the status quo. The status quo abandoned them.
Wall Street Messaging is the last 'image' they want to portray.
If the actions don't support the message, then maybe the victimization of their reality to exploit these people as weird and frauds for political gain should be victimized and defrauded.

AUSTIN (KXAN) - More than 150 volunteers are combing Travis County trying to count the number of people that call the streets home .
Sixty teams each consisting of three volunteers divided the county and are looking not only behind businesses and in wooded areas, they are also taking count in area shelters....

#Occupy is a global phenomena.
Many of the #Occupy movements are learning their voices are chronically confronted with oppression and authority rather than ADDRESS!!!!
Many of the #Occupy movments are living the same oppressed reality as #Occupy Wall Street.
In the USA House Speaker Boner stated today on FOX News Sunday "...the job the American people elected us for was to listen to what the American people have to say..."
There is a problem with governments ignoring the #Occupy movement. They boast they base their economies; economies that are to benefit the citizens in a sovereign country, are based in "Capitalism." Yet, the reality these protesters are living are not being benefitted by the economies their governments have fostered.
1. The #Occupy Wall Street movement as made it completely clear that Wall Street's capitalism has forsaken the very people they turned to in bailout monies.
2. The #Occupy Wall Street movement has clearly indicated their plight is an immediate peril.
3. Yet, the very citizens that are recognized with a legitimate problem, not just a concern, is being shut down, arrested, prosecuted and ridiculed.
The treatement of these citizens by their governments are the essence of oppression.
Smoke Bomb Thrown Over White House Fence (It wasn't tear gas.)
..."Occupy DC" protesters demonstrating (click title to entry - thank you) against income inequality gathered at the Capitol building in Washington DC before marching down Pennsylvania Avenue, with a brief stop at the Supreme Court before arriving at the White House.
More than 1,000 protesters then held a rally outside the White House where a smoke bomb was propelled over a fence on the north side of the building.
George Ogilvie, a spokesman for the US Secret Service, said the suspected smoke bomb was thrown after the majority of demonstrators had left....
The gas canisters fired at protesters with LEGITIMATE problems and LEGITIMATE rights caused more than smoke and eye irritation.
Radicalize...
1. TO MAKE an advocate extreme measures to retain or restore a political state of affairs.
2. To regain a birth right.
3. To correct a "W"rong.
2. To regain a birth right.
3. To correct a "W"rong.
Income Inequity is a reality. It is not a political pundancy. It is not drug filled stupor.
Palpable.
Based in Facts.
Measurable.
Yet protests are ignored, classified as ugly and inappropriate, marginalized as a potential for election fodder or victory, regarded as losers, misfits and definately misinterpreted as an empty threat.
The truth regarding the economic politics of the USA has to be realized.
No more lies.
No more pretending it will all go away.
No more playing with the future of the USA.
The Inequity of income in the USA is not a slogan, it is reflected in inequity of the perception of the message.
Staind - Reality (click title of entry for Official Online Community)
The lights are on but you're not home
You've drifted off somewhere alone
Somewhere that's safe
No questions here
A quiet place
Where you hide from your fears
Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up's unclear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever "they" happen to be
Or are you hiding
From the scars of your own Reality?
So you sedate and drown in vain
You've got a pill for every day
A suit and tie to mask the truth
Its ugly head is starting to show through
Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up's unclear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever "they" happen to be
Or are you hiding
From the scars of your own Reality?
The monster you're feeding
Your lack of perception
The things you will do
To fulfill addictions
The light at the end of your tunnel is closing
What is it that you're so afraid of exposing?
You'd give it all up
For what's there for the taking
Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking
The same things you're thinking
Might make you feel better
The same things that probably got you here
Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up's unclear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here

Hi. It has been an odd weekend. Hasn't it?
Regardless if the actions lately, the message is a message and not a threat of violence.
Later.
