They do such a good job on Nationalism

FUCK NATIONALISM! Borders are imaginary, race is an invention, it is all to divide the people against institutions. The water coming from melting polar ice caps will not discriminate between a rich or poor nation, although poorer nations will continue to take heavier losses

"Not that he ever planned on avoiding the real thing. "I wanted all of these actors to know what it's really like," he says. "When we did [the pepper-spray] shot... I took four pictures. Within 30 seconds, everyone was gone. They couldn't breathe. In the UC Davis stuff, they got one or two sprays. We unloaded the whole bottle."

I dont know what fool told you that they only got 1-2 sprays mr photographer, here are the visual records. I suggest you ALL watch them and by all i mean everyone even remotely associated with the contents of this article. Its just a youtube search but since you are too lazy to do it.

Shame on you Mr Photographer for advancing your agenda @ the suffering of others.

And YOU Mr Reporter, for shame that you did not fact check. This would be why our nation is so uninformed; why would the commercial press take their responsibility seriously?

start of a new occupied holiday song

Feel free to post your own additions, rework this version, etc. 

No copyright, just copy-ING!

to the tune of 

All i want for christmas

All i want for christmas is for congress to

for senators to 

for president to

obey the constitution and obey the law

not make shit up

that shits on it

If you dance at the jefferson memorial

You might get bodyslammed
   anyone catch his name?
      bodyslam-er, not bodyslam-e

Do wonder what sergeants name was?
"no video in here!"
what you mean is no dancing
too late facist

Wonder how it would have gone down with no media cover?
See the one about dancing in NYC?
Sometimes they kick presses ass too
Like all damn day
In violation of their own directives

OCCUPY holiday songs/ OLA does outreach @ fed

On a day when free speech and the entire Bill of Rights -BOR-

hung on a thread

or to be more accurate

at the tip of a pen

a decision that had also been written with pens

by people called, the founders

hung in an eerily precarious situation.

Concerned citizens Occupied the corner of Wilshire and Veterans Avenue in Santa Monica California to draw attention to indefinite detention section -1031- of the annually passed NDAA.

Not since the patriot act, which only stabbed the BOR in the face

has the very foundations of this nation been at risk

yet it was not only the 1st amendment at risk

most of the bill of rights are at issue in the 2011 NDAA

 due process

 and a little concept called habeas corpus

   yes i know lincoln suspended it during the civil war... are we at    civil war? Make relevant arguments!

Remember the 1st amendment?

to never censor speech

  hint they put it first cause its important

     without it this article is not possible, and specifically without the internet as well.

  not that there has not been legitimate threats to that speech by other    mechanisms

  some personal: self censorship

  some social:  facebook, twitter, youtube censorship

  some institutional: concentration of news media eg: Viacom/News corp/ 

  some legislative: Telecom act of 1996, NDAA, etc

  some fascist: lockdown of internet in china/iran -check out S.O.P.A.

  PS: Our founding documents were written on hemp paper, yea, google it.

Getting back to holiday songs. Parody is a long protected part of free speech. Wierd Al yankovich, Snoop, elvis and citizens such as the one -name lost somewhere in the paper work, well just call him annon for now- that recreated this classic,  are the basis for an entire industry. Outlaw sampling alone and an already shrinking sector -haha just kidding, thats just what the R.I.A.A. PR says- disappears. Billions of dollars stolen -he says sarcastically- from the economy. Cause major record labels pay taxes?

<crowd participation is key... we were pretty good by the third time acapella in that hour- some goofed, lmao- but musical accompaniment/ vehicular solidarity as opposed to assault is always heartening.>

MISC facts:

The founders GA took 2+years

Created September 25, 1789
Ratified December 15, 1791

 although we know what they meant by 

  "all men are created equal"

  they really did only mean men, and a specific subset @ that

  words are powerful huh?

The laws already EXIST

They simply need to be APPLIED
They are not because legislators have been commodified
We will provide the pressure
As we OCCUPY!

PROTEST and you get treated like a criminal.

Actually BE like a criminal, and get leniency.

OCCUPY!

Habeus corpus is on the chopping block

Dear friends habeus corpus is on the chopping block and history is about to take a step back… like 800 years since before the magna carta of 1215. NOW might be the time to pop your little ME bubble and take a look around/ im about to pop it for you.

The house voted for NDAA MAY 26, 2011: 322-96-13

"The legislation would deny suspected terrorists, even U.S. citizens seized within the nation's borders, the right to trial and subject them to indefinite detention. The lawmakers made no changes to that language."

Red Scare squared. They want to be able to do to EVERYONE what they did to Bradley Manning/John walker lind, but IN THE UNITED SATES by redefining the USA as the battlefield, in COMPLETE contravention of the US CONSTITUTION. You know, that little piece of paper written on hemp that is supposedly the basis for... AMERICA.

To all of my friends of jewish decent. The sorts of laws that enabled the holocaust are being set in place in America RIGHT NOW in HR1540/SB1867 specifically Section 1031 "indefinite detention of US citizens". If you ever want to get righteously indignant about the roots of your cultural identity in the holocaust with me again, you better be raising hell right now. REALLY, of all people, how can YOU turn a blind eye?

COMMON RESPONSES; all denial based

ALL WILL BE FINE/ JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN:

   Im sure that was said in Germany pre-holocaust

IT IS UNPRECEDENTED IN THE US: 

  Manzanar camps of WWII only this time; replace ethnicity with opposition to tyranny. / Red scare v2.0

OBAMA WILL VETO IT:

  His office asked for the language/ cause he has been de-escalating the US global war machine?

IT WILL NOT EFFECT ME: 

  what part of indefinite detention of US citizens seems to elude you?

GOD WILL SORT IT ALL OUT: 

  A very convenient excuse to do nothing. Why wait?/ We are the ones we have been waiting for. We got here cause everyone was waiting for someone else to do something, WELL THEY ARE DOING IT!

THEY WILL GET THEIRS: 

  Who is going to give it to them? anyone with balls to speak out will be in a FEMA camp

IM SCARED: 

  You should be/ speak now, it maybe too late tomorrow.

While discussing the NDAA with a latino officer outside of city hall GA after the RAID he told me that lincoln suspended habeas corpus. Are we at civil war? THEN WTF are you talking about?

I have seriously bought a plane ticket out of here. If obama dont veto this shit, im OUT. Which is of course another reason they are doing this. Why imprison dissenters -which as HOWARD ZINN said is no departure from democracy, it is in fact essential to it- when you can just get em to exile themselves?

Linda Piera-Avila, an occupy Los angeles participant wrote a letter to her Senator. not that form letters are uncommon, but this letter raises a significant and valid concern. Republished by permission 

"Here is the response I got from Sen. Dianne Feinstein when I signed a petition opposing this legislation. If she objected to several provisions, why did she sign it?? 

Dear Ms. Piera-Avila:

Thank you for writing to express your concerns about the detention provisions in the "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012." I appreciate knowing your views and welcome the opportunity to respond.

This year's defense authorization bill would, among other things, authorize funding for the U.S. Department of Defense. As you know, section 1031 would authorize the U.S. government to detain suspected terrorists until the end of hostilities, and section 1032 would require that certain suspected terrorists connected to al-Qaeda be automatically detained in military custody when apprehended.

Like you, I oppose these provisions. Section 1031 is problematic because it authorizes the indefinite detention of American citizens without due process. In this democracy, due process is a fundamental right, and it protects us from being locked up by the government without charge. For this reason, I offered an amendment to prohibit the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without trial or charge. Unfortunately, on December 1, 2011, this amendment failed by a vote of 45-55.

I was, however, able to reach a compromise with the authors of the defense bill to state that no existing law or authorities to detain suspected terrorists are changed by this section of the bill. While I would have preferred to have restricted the government's ability to detain U.S. citizens without charge, this compromise at least ensures that the bill does not expand the government's authority in this area.

I also oppose section 1032 of the defense bill, which creates a presumption that individuals associated with al-Qaeda will be held in military custody, as opposed to being processed through the criminal justice system. I disagree with this approach, and believe that the President should be able to hold captured terrorists in the military or the criminal justice systems based on the individual facts and evidence of each case. Accordingly, I offered an amendment to clarify that under section 1032, the presumption of U.S. Armed Forces detention only exists for an individual captured abroad. Unfortunately, on December 1, 2011, this amendment also failed on a vote of 45-55.

Once again, thank you for your letter. Please know that I am committed to ensuring that our nation has the appropriate tools to combat terrorism, and committed to upholding our fundamental constitutional rights. If you have any additional comments or questions, please do not hesitate to contact my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3841. I hope that you and your family enjoy a happy and healthy holiday season.

May I wish you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season.

Sincerely yours,

Dianne Feinstein

United States Senator"

Conan Nolan should not speak for the National Lawyers Guild. They made no such statement that LAPD was given "high marks" for the raid.

The raid was indeed brilliantly executed. It was also militant, SHOCK AND AWE.

"Divide sector tactic." Refer to the manner in which the police setup their lines to divide different groups from each other into sectors and push crowds around to arrest or egress points. Not all people whom attempted to comply with egress routes were indeed allowed to leave. I have interviewed people whom were kennled on 1st between broadway and spring whom attempted to comply with egress orders whom were arrested despite compliance.

LAPD sent envoys to NYC and oakland to consult on eviction.

"crowd was different than those other cities" which is a lie, all were as non violent as the next because this is a non violent movement, even in the face of MASSIVE state violence.

City council did not make the decision to raid, to the contrary, the mayor did.

Placing the OLA name first implies

that the greatest share of this 72mil figure, is the responsibility of OLA. As of yesterday the mayor said it would cost 1mil to deal with OLA -he is of course dreaming as just one of the lawsuits will pay out to more than that. By those statements alone, 72-1= 71mil on the wind. 1mil on OLA. Love how its OLA's fault that other services need to be cut. I spoke to a line officer that night who stated that he was VERY unclear as to how they would be compensated for their duty that evening and that he was not happy of that fact.

PS if banking rules were enforced lke park rules, it would have cost ZERO $ to cleanup any 1st amendment activities.

PPS the "Rubble" that keeps being refered to used to be peoples homes and was not rubble prior to the raid.

Good job corporate tools.

Occupy LA, Windstorms Spur $72-Million Budget Deficit

Guess I am the asshole

for getting upset when I spent hours being chased by a police state and have collected horror stories of how the prison system treated not just people I knew but dont even need to know to be upset about. Now the constitution, which was stabbed in the face by the Patriot Act is ONE corporate tools signature away straight up be DECAPITATED by the National Defense Authorization Bill. Yes clearly, there is nothing to be upset about, I am over reacting, pepper spray is a vegetable.

Media blackout

I asked many journalist who were with corporate press BUT not part of the officially sanctioned LAPD press pool for the raid. This reporter from AP -an organization which was sanctioned, but not her specifically, as she was not wearing a construction vest- confirmed an even more horrifying truth.

City violates California Penal Code in wake of OLAraid

"3:10 PM The National Lawyers Guild has called for the immediate release of all arrestees. Guild board member Carol Sobel said, per a release, "The Los Angeles Police Department is deliberately refusing to release anyone arrested in the Occupy raids with a notice to appear. The City is holding them in jail on $5,000 bail until they can be arraigned by a judge, which can take up to 48 hours. This punishes people for exercising their First Amendment rights.” Under California law, Penal Code §853.6 is mandatory in requiring that anyone charged with a misdemeanor shall be released with a written notice to appear."

10 well researched and thought out points

http://studentactivism.net/2011/11/20/ten-things-you-should-know-about-fridays-uc-davis-police-violence/

LA TIMES publishes piece juxtaposing the conduct of former US MARINE now in-famous UC DAVIS police Lieutenant John Pike who also split his time between the "UC Davis police and the Sacramento Police Department." It would appear that "serving and protecting" is this guys life blood. One wonders if his current conduct is any indication of his past conduct?

The article consists of BARELY 1 line on why he is now under scrutiny. The remainder of which concentrates on an incident for which he received a commendation for NOT using any tool but his own hands in the face of bodily harm to another officer and violent threats/actions by an offender.

One wonders why he then chose to use chemical agents on a non violent crowd rather than the approach he took on the while quoting; ""You've got all these tools on your belt," Pike said, "but sometimes they're not the best tools.""

Rebroadcast of comment made by UC Davis Police Chief Annette Spicuzza
in response to DAVIS INVESTIGATION relating to the UC chem attack
backs her Liutenant

saying it was a "split second decision" to mace the non-violent students for not following an order to disburse.


A comment you could only make if you are
  a. hoping people did not watch the entire tape
  b. hoping people have not noticed the police violence @ Berkley
  c. hoping people are not watching the police violence ALL OVER
  d. hoping people will respect the law in the face of its violation
  e. add your comment below


To the LA times said Chief Annette Spicuzza
the officers "were concerned for their own safety"
after being enveloped by protestors in reaction to the events above
Protestors remained non-violent in the face of violence and permitted the officers to withdraw
  One wonders if the officers will come back in larger force and with more violence?
  In fact I am fairly certain this will be the case, but next time they will do it, as has become standard operating procedure, under cover of darkness.
