Progressive Counter-balance to the Tea Party movement born out of #Occupywallstreet

Today when I was checking my Facebook feed I stumbled across an episode of Up w/ Chris Hayes on msnbc.com and he had Van Jones on his panel and Jones gave an interesting plug. Van Jones's Rebuild the dream movement is planning to launch a Progressive Campaign movement in 2012 out of the #Occupywallstreet protests.

To me this is music to my ears how great would it be if we had a government with values like putting kids through college, actually stopping climate change so we don't get screwed like in the Day After Tomorrow. Make the outsourcing corporations bring their jobs back to America. I think if Occupy Wall St. & Van Jones rebuild the dream movement succeed we could be on the verge of a new America and a better one for the good of the people.

Your Phone Company Funds Fanatics

This is an Acivist Network that offers Phone Services! That way you can get away from companies that commit dirty deeds with your money!

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is quite a zealot. She has publicly said "Wives, be submissive to your husbands." She defends her husband's Christian counseling center that tries to turn gay men into heterosexuals through prayer. She believes "intelligent design" theory should be taught in schools, and wants abortion banned even in cases of rape or incest. The list of dangerous views goes on.


And yet AT&T and Verizon Wireless both donated to Bachmann, the founder of the House Tea Party Caucus, who is now seeking the Republican presidential nomination. AT&T gave $386,000 to Bachmann and other members of the House Tea Party Caucus in 2010 and Verizon Wireless gave $35,500. Why?


It's time to make the switch to the one phone company that is fighting Bachmann's Tea Party-driven agenda. Join CREDO Mobile, America's only progressive phone company.


Through CREDO Action, our network of 2 million activists, we are countering the Tea Party agenda every day of the year. We also give a percentage of all charges — at no cost to you — to progressive nonprofits each year. Since 1985, we've raised more than $67 million for groups such as the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, Democracy Now and Amnesty International.


So act now and get a fantastic deal—plus the satisfaction of knowing that your phone company will be fighting extremists like Michele Bachmann, not funding them.

Declaration of the Occupation of New York City

As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

Nobody Can Predict The Moment Of Revolution

Nobody Can Predict The Moment Of Revolution from ivarad on Vimeo.
We want to share insights into the formation of a new social movement as it is still taking shape in real time. The video was shot during the 5th and 6th day of the occupation. This idea to occupy the financial district in New York City was inspired by recent uprisings in Spain, Greece, Egypt, and Tunisia which most of us were following online. Despite of the corporate media's effort to silence the protests, and Yahoo's attempt to to censor it in e-mail communication, the occupation is growing in numbers and spreading to other cities in the US and abroad.

Please forward our video to likeminded people via email, facebook, twitter - and make the voices of dissent circulate.

Join the Revolt or become the passive enabler of monsteruos evil

"There are no excuses left. Either you join the revolt taking place on Wall Street and in the financial districts of other cities across the country or you stand on the wrong side of history. Either you obstruct, in the only form left to us, which is civil disobedience, the plundering by the criminal class on Wall Street and accelerated destruction of the ecosystem that sustains the human species, or become the passive enabler of a monstrous evil. Either you taste, feel and smell the intoxication of freedom and revolt or sink into the miasma of despair and apathy. Either you are a rebel or a slave." - Chris Hedges

The Hypocrisy runs Deep when Americans Protest

I guess we are supposed to sleep well tonight knowing the cops are locking up hippies while the psychotic machine gun owners are running loose, but i just dont buy it...

From: Breitbart on Liberals: 'We Have the Guns'
'We outnumber them' in hypothetical war, says blogger

Liberals may talk tough, but if there were a war between left and right, “they cannot win,” says Andrew Breitbart: “We outnumber them in this country, and we have the guns,” the conservative blogger told Tea Partiers. After the crowd laughed, he said, “I’m not kidding,” Mediaite reports. “They talk a mean game, but they will not cross that line because they know what they’re dealing with,” Breitbart noted at an event in Lexington, Mass.


Breitbart said his opponents are “vicious, there are death threats, and everything,” and when he’s “not thinking as clearly as I should,” he thinks, “fire the first shot.” Liberals “are the bullies on the playground, and they’re starting to realize, what if we were to fight back, what if we were to slap back?” he asked the enthusiastic crowd.

Tea Party...

Occupy Wall Street...

Tea Party...

Occupy Wall Street...

Tea Party...

Water the tree of Liberty, get it? Now try to imagine tons of young angry progressive kids with guns descending upon Wall street with signs covered in death threats...

The difference is these young people are standing up for the rest of the country against Corporate Bankers with justice in their hearts, while the Tea Baggers are standing up for the Corporate Bankers with racism in their hearts...

United/Continental pilots on Rector and Trinity streets, on Wall Street to protest an ongoing labor dispute. Not related to #occupywallstreet, as they had planned this well in advance.

I cant even begin to agree with the Photographer on this point at all... How are the issues they are protesting here NOT related to the Occupy Wall Street movement??? You cant seperate these issues and you cant seperate the Protests.

The only Difference i see is how the cops deal with some protesters who wear Business Suit/Uniforms and what they do with the rest of us...

And yeah thats Deputy Bologna again, straight up choking that woman...

#OCCUPY Media Coverage of Police Brutality

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

“The reason that man is being assaulted by the police is because of what he has in his hand,” O’Donnell said, while showing a video clip of a man with a video camera being tackled by police. “He’s holding a professional grade video camera. Since the Rodney King beating was caught on an amateur video camera, American police officers have known video cameras are their worst enemy. They will do anything they can to stop you from legally videotaping how they handle their responsibility to serve and protect you.”


“Everything those cops did this weekend to those protesters they’ve done to someone else when no video camera was rolling,” he later added.

Documentary: Generation OS13

Generation OS13 is an explosive insight into the attack on civil liberties occurring in western democracies and how artists, musicians, journalists and authors encourage the peoples right to resist against Banker occupation.


Examining economic dictatorships, puppet regimes, tax havens, tax dodgers, and the debt based money system the film explains why 'you can not count on the law makers to see shit when it first happens'. For a new era, generation OS13, the repression will not be tolerated; do 'the government really think they can win that war if the young people are like fuck this, you cant beat that you, can't beat us, its Impossible' - Saul Williams.

Featuring Painter, poet & song writer Billy Childish, Harry Malt from Bare Bones, Luke Turner from The Quietus, journalist Huw Nesbitt, broadcaster Max Kaiser, author Nicholas Shaxson & Artists Anika, Comanechi, Gaggle's & Saul Williams.


"Those bailouts were absolutely required to save your civilisation, now if you talk about bail outs for everyone else you have to say to say to those people suck it in and cope buddy, suck it in and cope"

The Streets Belong to the Poeple, Can you dig it?

Occupy Wall Street (photo © Jaime Rojo)

"In many people’s minds the class warfare has been in full effect for a while and these folks are now wondering about those basic tenets of free speech and right to assemble that Americans of previous generations fought to maintain, guaranteed by the constitution. As corporations continue to gain rights and citizens continue to cede them, these demonstrators say they feel like they have nothing to lose, except their entire country."
