A Pilot's Prayer

We are all guilty of something. Sometimes, we're guilty without even knowing we are. Why, if you want to get down to it, get technical about things, everyone who took out a loan or a credit card between 1998 to 2008 has participated in this Collapse, however indirectly or unknowingly.


Today being Kippur, I thought I'd offer the following as inspiration:

 

 

MANHATTAN, NY - Monday, 3 October 2011

A Pilot's Prayer

"Aut inveniam viam aut faciam" (I will find a way or I will make one), "Non Omnis Moriar" - Horace (Not all shall vainly die), and "Mors ante infamiam" (Death Before Dishonour) are personal mottos of mine. Yeah... I'm one strange Bird!

Summary of a Discussion with Husband this AM.

Background info: We were discussing all that is happening with Occupy, all that happened with the Bankers. My Husband leans towards the Bankers, telling me; "They only took care of their family, as anyone out there would have, had they had the chance. Man is Man! You cannot change Man! Amschell Myer Rothschild was crushed, walked on as a Pauper, back in 1744. He had 'The RIGHT Solution' - eat or get eaten!"

Those words; 'Eat or be eaten' rang deep echoes within me...

He told me: "You MUST either be a Wolf or a Sheep. There's no such thing as a Vegetarian Wolf"

What he sums this up to is: "Eat or be eaten. Your call!" My Husband's boolean. No grey: Black or White, no other options exist: ON or OFF.

My Husband says that to prevent from becoming a sheep (be eaten), one has to take one's self out of the equation by becoming a Wolf (eat others)

Needless to add (but I will anyway), my Husband and I had a very heated discussion. He says the problem lies in what he calls "conditioning"

My Husband doesn't believe in Religion, saying the later holds back, via conditioning, Man's Natural Instincts: to rule, to be Alpha-Males.

I cannot begin to adhere to my Husband's Philosophy and because of this he told me that were it not for him holding the reins we'd be Dirt Poor (And I here have to admit, he has a point as even what we have, I forever attempt to give away)

I "understand" all he brings forth as such is indeed logical but this so gravely goes against my "grain", conditioned or not, I cannot abide.

I was born questioning my environment, asking why things were the way they were as early as when I was three years old. How could this hence be the result of "conditioning"?

At 3, I accidentally found myself in front of a television which was replaying JFK's Assassination. My Father forbade me from watching TV as a child, guiding me to read, learn, use flash cards to further my knowledge. I spoke 5 languages by age 4...

In school, at age 5, I began asking serious questions about the goings-on around me: "Why are some people poor?",  "Why do animals eat each other?",  "Why do people kill?"

My Teachers thought me weird... One day, we were asked in class, to make a drawing or write a letter so the later would then be put into a capsule of sorts, to then be shipped into space.

All the kids in my class made nice drawings and/or wrote really cute letters.

I wrote a few lines down on a sheet of paper. Took me all of five minutes so, when I handed in my work to my Teacher, puzzled, she looked at what I wrote and I'll never forget the look on her face...

My note, addressed to "Beings" who might encounter the capsule in space, read: "If you're REALLY intelligent, you shouldn't come to this planet. They will kill you."

I was 7 years old at the time.

My Teacher treated me as though I'd been the Anti-Christ incarnate for the remainder of that academic year.

The word got out to my parents and to my other Teachers, whom followed me in subsequent academic years.

I was "tested" by various Psychologists and even had to undergo an IQ test as a result.

The test came back with an IQ of 159.

I learned then not to speak to grown-ups anymore and started silently "working" towards viable, however Utopic, plans for this world.

You see, to me, this world, the way we all go about, eating each other, makes absolutely no sense.

What I envision for this world, what my earliest memories are made of, is a world where we COLLABORATE TOGETHER, as ONE!

Come what may, no matter what my Husband or others may tell me, no matter how "Utopic" or how much of an idiot people may think me to be for it, UNITY and GLOBAL COLLABORATION are dreams I have always held onto and I don't believe Religion or "Conditioning" played any part in said dreams...

I believe INTELLIGENCE is responsible for said Dreams! LOGICAL, CRITICAL, ANALYTICAL  THINKING has always been my "Forte", as an INTJ (Myers-Briggs)

Your thoughts?

I always welcome healthy debates.

I have a Dream... A Dream where we EXALT & RESPECT one another in lieu of EXPLOITING one another and the Resources around us. Am I crazy?

I don't want to be a Sheep but I don't want to be a Wolf either. I want the Sheep and the Wolf to come to an agreement and STOP Bloodshed!

I want to be a Bird, ever reaching new ceilings, discovering new horizons, with The Sky as my Home and The Sun as My Guide. I want my Song heard the whole world over. I want to bring each Soul on Its knees with Its Beauty. I want a Brotherhood of Man.

This Song, my silly and crazy Song, is one of Peace, Love, Harmony, Unity, Collaboration, Fraternity and, insane as it may appear to some, I'll still be singing It when they throw sand on my lips for I will always live working towards this very specific goal and if, as People keep telling me, The Way to such a World doesn't exist...

From my typing fingertips, from my mouth, from my heart and from my mind to God's ears...

I will MAKE One!

And some new dawn, when God comes to fish The Sun out of The Sea, I will hear this Song sung by a multitude of birds in The Sky, my sole True "Home".


********************************************************


The following, not meant in any way to represent Occupy or Its Demands, are strictly my own:

THURSDAY, 29 SEPTEMBER 2011

My Demands

Thursday, 29 September 2011


I do not seek money, a job, personal luxuries, retribution or even vengeance.

Though, like many out there, I'm apalled at the grave, rampant, immoral and unscrupulous Greed of a minority in our world, I realize the True Culprits of this consciously engineered economical crisis - This outright Fraud! - will never be brought to Justice. Life isn't fair and though this gravely irks me, I can still make my own way.

I would then like to say that I would hence first seek Truth, Transparency of Government, the Sincerity and Objectivity of the Press, Respect, Global Justice but well, there again, I would be dreaming an impossible dream and so, if I'm to remain realistic, the following are my own personal "Demands", my own "Message", if you will.

1. I want my Brothers and Sisters ALL over the world to have access to PROPER Shelter, ORGANIC Food, CLEAN Water, and a PRISTINE Environment. This is possible. We have the technology and resources available in our world. Those who robbed us, in escaping Prosecution, could do well to wash their Souls in gratitude by becoming these projects' "Benefactors" <<< KEYWORD (NOT "Investors"!!)
2. I want FREE Education available to ALL, regardless of Race, Credo, Gender, or Social Status, so I may see Understanding, Compassion, Tolerance, Creativity and Genius spring from such an investment.
3. I want to see an end to Life Patents and thereby see Big Pharma work together, globally, in some kind of "Think Tank", to develop CURES. This, instead of developing Chemical Band-Aids (with potentially harmful side-effects requiring yet more such Band-Aids), geared towards yet more irresponsible Profits!
4. I want to live in a world where Animals and Nature are REVERED and RESPECTED! (Maybe I should repeat this point for Clarity's sake) I want to live in a world where Animals and Nature are REVERED and RESPECTED!
5. I want an end to War and Mindless Bloodshed. I've no use for ANYTHING that would cost so Dear a Price as the blood of my Sons! And no, this is not a "Dream". It IS a viable "Demand". This, providing the same Perpetrators who CONSCIOUSLY ENGINEERED our Economy's Collapse  step back and away, out of everyone else's business and not go about INSTIGATING Wars for the sake of yet more profits. The Internet has shown us all; we are all the same, despite our differences. It IS therefore possible for us ALL to get along with one another.
6. I want to see an end to the psychopathic manner in which Corporations have acted in the past; poisoning our air, our seas, our top-soil, depleting our land, creating monstruosities such as Monsanto's "Round-Up" and "Terminator Seeds". The only way to stop this would be to strip Corporations of their Legal "Separate" Entity status and to hence render ALL Company Owners accountable for spills, poisoning, etc.
7. I do NOT want to see essential things such as Air, Water, and/or Food in the hands of private Corporations such as Nestlé, Thames Water, Monsanto, et al
8. I want to see Dr. Vandana Shiva and Ms. Brooksley Borne be given the Nobel Peace Prize for all they have suffered in trying to blow the whistle on the dangers they witnessed and for having been largely and ungratefully discredited for having done so.
9. Lastly, will someone PLEASE correct an error that shows up in just about every book I've ever read and every museum I ever attended? Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) discovered Wireless Radio, NOT Marconi! Yes, I'm bleeping serious and no, I'm NOT making light of current events - Not by a long shot! This is one of my "Demands". Before being a Genius, Nikola Tesla, who'd wanted to offer the world FREE ENERGY, was an outmost Altruist. The very least we can all pay him is due credit!

Such are "my Demands".

I've no use for anything else.

I have spoken. Let it be written and executed!

(Yes... I KNOW!... I'm a Pill!)

BEFORE SPEAKING TO THE MEDIA

For General Information: @OccupyInfo

Disclaimer: This is in no means intended to enrage the masses. It is offered as the documentary from which it is purged was; to inform the masses. Specially considering this is what Occupy is protesting about.

The Bail-Out: What happened?

 

Before speaking with the Media, please try, best as you can, to commit the following facts to memory.

UNDERSTANDING what happened will not only give you more confidence in the delivery of all your upcoming interviews with the Media, it will also enable you to start thinking about plausible fail-safe solutions, be it only to ensure something like this never happens again.

To aid your mnemonics, I strongly recommend you watch "Inside Job", by Charles Ferguson. It's a MUST SEE for anyone who wishes to understand what went down.

WARNING: What you'll find out in this documentary (and in the notes I took from it below) may upset you. Please remember that in order to attain Occupy's goals, everyone must remain PEACEFUL, RESPECTFUL and cool as Cucumbers whenever protesting. This being, if Occupy wants to be taken seriously not only by the Media but by everyone at large.

Occupy would do well to find a Solution to this issue - to protest for said Solution - and not just present this issue and its resulting devastation. As mentioned before, jail sentences are fine, if such is what Occupy is after but these would not (in any way) help our current economy recover (It would actually cost it yet more money, putting a further strain on everyone!)

The Money Masters (Full documentary; 3:29:19)

"Inside Job", directed by Charles Ferguson (Intro)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOwVWosH2X0&feature=related

Source of information related here below:
Notes taken while watching "Inside Job", a documentary, by Charles Ferguson, available for viewing on Netflix.

5 Investment Banks involved:

• Goldman Sachs
• Morgan Stanley
• Lehman Brothers
• Merrill Lynch
• Bear Stearns

2 financial conglomerates involved:

• JP Morgan
• Citigroup

3 Securities Insurance Companies:

• AIG
• MBIA
• AMBAC


3 Rating Agencies:

• Moody's
• Standard & Poor's
• Fitch

Linking all of them together was the "Securitization Food Chain"

HOW IT HAPPENED

1. In the old days, Mortgages were paid back to lenders over

a long time so lenders were careful.

2. Then lenders began selling loans to Investment Banks, who combined

these, along with car and student loans to create complex

Derivatives named CDOs or "Collateralized Debt Obligations"

3. Investment Banks then paid Rating Agencies to give these

CDOs the highest credit rating (AAA), even though they KNEW

these were loans that were going to be written-off for

defaulted payments (were never going to be paid back)

4. The rating Agencies issued AAA ratings (Top rating a loan could have) on said CDOs and

5. The Investment Banks then sold said CDOs to Investors (who didn't know what the Investent Banks had done, with the participation of the Rating Agencies).

6. Retirement Funds, due to their nature, do not invest in just any type of Securities. they only invest in AAA rated Securities in oreder to safeguard the funds entrusted upon them.

7. Riskiest loans are called "sub-primes" and Retirement Funds would have never touched these Securities had they known these falsely AAA rated Securities were indeed sub-primes.

8. Knowing the Securities they sold to Investors were sub-primes and would default, the Investment Banks went as far as to insure these same Securities with the insurance companies mentioned here above.

9. In 1998 (A FULL 10 YEARS BEFORE THE FACT!!!), Clinton deregulated the leverage for Investment Banks, despite the strong warnings of experts like Ms. Brooksley Borne, who fought hard to see these reinstated only to be viciously ridiculed and professionally discredited [by Alan Greenspan, Reuben (didn't catch his first name), and Arthur Levitt, FCC Chairman] for having repeatedly attempted to warn both Clinton and Bush Adminstrations about the unavoidable market Collapse that would ensue.

10. Sub-primes were more attractive to Investment Banks because these carried higher interest fees and so began the 10 year 'era' of  "Predatory loans"

11. Predatory Loans are high-interest and highly risky loans, generally issued to people who present a credit risk; people who went bankcrupt, people with a low credit score or bad credit history.

12. Then being rewarded by hefty bonuses for the amount of sub-prime loans they were able to secure, everyday Banks began issuing loans to everyone and anyone they could (there was even talk, at some point of every day banks issuing 'fictive' loans to met their required quotas, in order to get a bonus.

13. Everyday Banks went about doing this, knowing full well the people contracting these high-interest carrying loans would eventually default, i.e.; be incapable of ever paying these back.

14. Interest rates shot to an all-time low for just said purpose.

15. Seeing these low interest rates, a lot of people invested in Real-Estate, creating a Bubble (meaning something that is growing/becoming profitable very fast)

16. The unfortunate thing here is that people who should never have been issued any loans found themselves getting offers in the mail about three times a week, getting "We have a pre-approved loan for you" type of mail from all kinds of competing banks in their vicinity.

17. A lot of people, who couldn't afford taking out high-interest loans, signed up for these and, of course, defaulted on these.

18. Meanwhile, Investment Banks were borrowing astronomical amounts of money, increasing their leverage up to 39:1, in order to secure more loans from all these everday Banks, to then create sub-prime CDOs, get the rating Agencies to fraudulently give these an AAA rating and then selling these to Investment/Retirement Funds, such as the 401K Retirement Fund whom, trusting the Rating Agencies' ratings, invested in these Securities.

19. Leverage is explained simply as follows; If I borrow 1$ from you while I have 1$ in my pocket, my leverage is 1:1, If I borrow 2$ from you while I have 1$ in my pocket, my leverage becomes 2:1, and so on.

20. Investment Banks' leverage, having been deregulated in 1998 (despite the valid concerns and warnings issued by many Experts), shot up to as much as 39:1

21. This meant that as little as a 3% decrease in their assets would leave Investment Banks insolvent, i.e.; Bankcrupt.

22. In the case of Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and

Merrill Lynch, this sub-prime lending alone increased from 30 Billion$ to

over 600 Billion$ in 10 years.

23. Countryside Financial, the largest sub-prime lender, issued

97 Billion$ in loans and made 11 Billion$ profit as a result.

24. Lehman Brothers were the top underwriters of sub-prime

lending, at 106 Billion$.

25. Meanwhile... There was another ticking timebomb: AIG was selling huge amounts of Derivatives called Credit Default Swaps (500 billion$ worth!)

26. Look up Credit Default Swaps on Google. I don't want to give you everything cooked in the mouth :)

27. The CDOs (sub-prime high-interest risky bunch of loans), as expected, defaulted.

28. Investment/Retirement Funds saw their Securities collapse

29. The insurance companies whom had insured the CDOs, found themselves insolvent due to the immense quantity of CDOs that defaulted all at once.

30. This, Ladies and Gentlement, was a Ponzi Scheme. One ENABLED and UNABATED by BOTH Clinton and Bush Administrations.

Here are some "Success Stories":

Who got rich, aside from the Investment Banks, the everyday Banks, and the Rating Agencies? Well many people did. Some profited from the Market bubble honestly (not knowing what was going on behind the scene), via high ROI (Return on Investment) Real-Estate investments, others well... You now know the facts!

AIG-FP's Head, Joseph Cassano, made 315 million$, from 2000 to 2007. He then was kept as Consultant afterwards, making 1 million$/MONTH!!

Goldman Sachs Execs & CEOs:

Daniel Sparks, Mortgage Dept Head

Fabrice Tourre, Exec Dir Structured Trading

Lloyd Blankfein, Chairman & CEO

David Viniar, exec VP & CFO

Hedgefund Manager, John Paulson, made 12 Billion$

Hedgefunds Tricadia, Magnetar made billions betting AGAINST CDOs they had designed with Merrill Lynch, Lehman Bros & JP Morgan

Moody's (rating agency) quadrupled its profits (2000-2007)

Ben Bernanke, Feb 2006, became Pres of Fed Reserve Board... Despite warnings, he did nothing & declined to be interviewed

Frederic Mishkin, Governor, Fed Reserve (2006-2008) net worth 6-17M$

Mar 16, 2008: Bear Stearns ran out of cash and was acquired for 2$/share by JP Morgan

Richard Fuld, is CEO for Lehman Bros

Angelo Mozilo, CEO for Countrywide, made 470 Million$ (2003-2008)

Stan O'Neil, CEO Merrill Lynch, 90 Million$ (2006-2007) & got 161 Million$ severance!!

Martin Feldstein, prof economics, Harvard, Reagan's Chief Financial Advisor, a major player in deregulation 1988-2009, was on board of BOTH AIG & AIG FINAncial PRODUCTS

Larry Summers, who played a keyrole in deregulation, became president of Harvard in 2001, made millions consulting. Net worth Between 16.5 & 39.5 Million$ (That's all? Loser!)

Comments from some in the Financial Industry
Jerome Fons, Former Managing Director for Moody's Rating Agency said 100s billions of $ were being rated PER YEAR and that if rating agencies had refused to play ball we wouldn't have had mess.

Rating Agencies were NOT held liable because they claimed their ratings were OPINIONS (1st Amendment, which they are NOW trying to rob OCCUPY from in Protest, was the Defense used by their lawyers)



Lemons handed out to:

In 2004, FBI was already getting warnings about epidemic of mortgage fraud and doctored loan documents, inflated appraisals yet... No one did a thing about it.

Between 1998-2008 Financial Industry spent 5 BILLION$ in lobbying & ELECTORAL CAMPAIGN donations

Oct 4th 2008, Bush signs a 700 Billion$ bailout bill

David McCormick, Under Secty of Treasury, Bush admin - A bloody liar!!!

Deserving of Recognition:

As early as 1998, both CLINTON and BUSH ADMINISTRATIONS were REPEATEDLY  warned by Experts about what would ensue from Deregulation  (I name these "Heroes" below), and that Ms. Brooksley Borne, in particular, was VICIOUSLY RIDICULED and DISCREDITED (in 1998!!!! - 10 years before Collapse!!) for her heroic efforts in desperately trying to warn anyone who'd listen about the inevitable Collapse that would ensue.

Alan Greenspan, Chairman Fed Reserve; Reuben (his last name escaped me) and Arthur Levitt, FCC Chairman viciously, and vehemently discredited Ms. Brooksley Borne (who deserves a Nobel Prize, be it only for the grave professional affront she suffered)

In Sept. 2005, Raghuram Rajan delivered a paper in an effort to warn of upcoming financial collapse. He was the Chief Economist (2003-2007) for IMF (Intl Monetary Fund)

In 2006, Nouriel Roubini tried to warn

Mr Joseph St-Denis, Auditor, quit AIG-FP in 2007 after trying to warn and never got bonus
In 2007 Alan Sloan's Article in Washington Post's Business Section and in Fortune Magazine

In May 2007, Bill Ackman publishes "Who's holding the Bag", in an effort to warn the masses but too few people know much about finances. A shame, really!

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, IMF, spoke with Govt Treasurer, Fed Reserve, to no avail

In 2008, early, Charles Morris published "The Two Trillion Dollar Meltdown"



AIG Bailout

• Costs tax payers > 150 Billion$
• 14 Billion$ went to Goldman Sachs
• At same time (Sept 2008) Henry Paulson & Geitner forced AIG to surrender its right to sue Goldman & other Banks for fraud
• Unemployment rose to 10%

Crysler Bailout (Why not? We're giving away money, anyway. Come one, come all!!)

• Dec 2008, GM & Chrysler face bankcruptcy
• 10 Million workers in China lose their job.
• Singapore 30% exports dropped
• 6 million foreclosures by early 2010

Addressing Obama on regulatory reform?

It's a Wall Street Govt!!

Obama chose (or was most likely IMPOSED);

• Timothy Geitner as Treasury Secretary. Geitner was Pres of NY Fed Reserve during crisis and a key player in paying Goldman Sachs 1:1 for its bets against mortgage.
• William C Dudley, now Pres of Fed Reserve, used to be with Goldman Sachs
• Mark Patterson, Chief of Staff Treasury Dept, former Lobbyist for Goldman Sachs
• Lewis Sachs, Senior Treasurer, Head of Tricadia

Observed Issues, Suggested Solutions, and Results

COMMUNICATIONS



MEETINGS / MINUTES
Problem observed: Meetings don't always go as planned because not everyone is used to chairing meetings.

Problem 2 observed: Minutes should only be available to other factions or a givan faction's members and no one else, because anyone else reading these, like the Press, could pull stories from these - Not necessarily stories we'd want to have in print, our collective image being at stake.

Solution offered: A structured plan, to be chaired by just one person at any given meeting, needs to be established. I can help here - and will - by building a template, if none are currently in existence.

Results: S.M.A.R.T. meetings, with measurable, time-limited objectives and people accountable for given tasks in a clear, concise fashion.

Links on SMART Goals

• http://topachievement.com/smart.html
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_criteria
• http://www.goal-setting-guide.com/goal-setting-tutorials/smart-goal-setting

CENTRAL HUB
Problem 1 observed: There is no CENTRAL place (and if there is I apologize but I've been searching for you since this began) where Cities protesting can go for information, Communications Plans, Flyer Templates, etc... Things that do not need to be re-invented each time, for each city.

Solutions 1 offered: There are great designers amongst Occupy. Have one design a given pamphlet. Make it customizable ONLY in the sense that the city name, the Time of events/protests/ and locations may be changed upon it, the rest remaining the same. Worse comes to worse, there is a multitude of FREE Flyer Templates available here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/results.aspx?qu=flyers Pick one, fix it the way we want it, save it as a template, and make it Occupy's Brand.

Result 1: Occupy gets a Brand. That's right, a recognizable brand. So whether a passer-by is in Tokyo or London or even Canada, when he/she gets a flyers, they're ALL the same. Branding is important.

Problem 2 observed: No one seems to know where to go for information.

Solutions 2 offered: @OccupyTogether and @OccupyInfo seem to have done some great work but no one seems to have ALL of the information in ONE place. How about creating @OccupyCentral (or something like that) and include that Twitter address in everything we print?

Results 2: People out there, either wanting to start up a new faction or merely wanting to attend another protest elsewhere, seeing that CENTRAL INFORMATION CENTER Twitter address on say a Flyer, will know WHERE to go, to then go from there.



COMMUNICATIONS PLAN

Problem Observed: Given a few common things seen and heard through various occupations or tweets,  a clear, concise and uniform Message goes lacking.

Solution offered: A Communications Plan should be created and then handed down to every faction.

Result : All Occupy factions should have the same clear, professional Message ready for the Media when they are approached. This will make Occupy look organized and not just like some "angry mob", "jobless kids" (or whatever else the Press may wish to label us), running about, clueless.

Result 1.1: It also gives Occupy's Marches Focus and Purpose.

Result 1.2: Occupy and the messages it needs to convey will then be taken far more seriously.

Results 1.3: This will also encourage people to keep demonstrating in a PEACEFUL manner.




WHAT YOU NEED TO GATHER IN WAYS OF INFORMATION

You need a Communications Plan

• http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/project-team-communication-plan-TC001145585.aspx

What is Occupy's Mission? (To be heard? Ok. Why? Brainstorm in groups)

What are Occupy's Goals? (What does Occupy want to achieve?)

Who is Occupy's Audience? (Is Occupy addressing President Obama? The World at large? The Media? Just our Nation? Just our respective City? County? Who is Occupy addressing its concerns to with its Protests?)

Who is Occupy's Spokesperson? (You will need ONE person to represent the whole of Occupy and then ONE person to represent each faction. Who will it be and what are their coordinates? Make up a fake name and generic email address if you're worried about Privacy ["Activist" never looked too good on a job resume. Some employers actually frown upon this so you may want to remain anonymous] but give  some meat to this animal as it has got to get done!)

What is this Spokesperson's Contact Data? (Will Media reach him/her via phone? Email? etc)

Press Releases? (Who is to handle these?)

Contigency Plans? Damage Control? (What/How does Occupy plan to respond to the Media in the event a given protester somewhere reacts violently, tarnishing Occupy's Peaceful image? Occupy needs to be ready for such things. The Media is unforgiving, as is its Audience. A pre-set/pre-formatted answer should be formulated and handed to all factions.)

And so on... See supplied templates or seek out other ones on the internet, according to your preference.

Flying out to Bhutan to attend a wedding shortly and then going to India to tend to business for a non-profit I chair, I won't be around to tend to this account for a while. I wish you the best in your efforts, hoping Occupy will weigh its goals in accordance with the desired outcomes, keeping in mind that throwing someone in jail, though offering temporary (however 'juicy') satisfaction for all of the immoral harm caused, won't necessarily do anything to boost our current economy (Just a thought to ponder as you decipher your goals). I wish Occupy well. Stay safe out there.

The Message

What is "The Message"?

Why are People taking to the streets in such a passionate fashion?

Being an INTJ (Myers-Briggs) and seeing as I haven't been able to find any data pertaining to any given "Message" anywhere just yet - That is to say anywhere else but in the thousands and thousands of messages I've retweeted over these last few weeks - I will take the initiative and do my outmost best to relate everything I've retweeted, in ways of feelings, pulse, and messages, in an OBJECTIVE, RATIONAL and RESPECTFUL manner in the following days or least, soon as  I receive permission to do so, by Occupy Central.

Please stand by.

... Currently busy compiling messages and composing text...

I invite everyone at Occupy and currently protesting to send me their thoughts, feelings, and messages in interim, via the comment section below or via DM. NOTE: You will have to "follow" me for us to communicate via DM.

Notes on some Videos...

Occupy Protest Videos

Hold fast. Keep Strong. Remain Peaceful at ALL costs. Our Message is slowly seeping out into the world. We WILL prevail!

This video made me cry. I don't know how those Police Officers can stand there, looking at us in the face. For a second, I imagined myself in that Cop's shoes, when a man asks him: "Is this why you became a Cop?" I didn't like how it felt. Not at all... Can one's Soul really be bought? Are some of us (because Cops are a part of us, a part of the 99%, like the rest of us) for Sale? How does it feel to be SOLD? How "Free" does one feel, being "purchased"?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYaA-34c-vI&feature=player_embedded

We are writing History, using The Most Powerful Weapon in the History of Mankind; Peace!

Even Rock cedes to the constant, peaceful flow of Water, in time.

Be like Water, my Friends. God be with you ALL, even you Cops!


9/11Videos

This video is one of very many that raises yet more questions, aside from what everyone could see LIVE on that morning, namely; the way these buildings came down in a 'controlled' demolition.

Intelligence Contractors,
Bush relatives 'escaping' 9/11,
Passports 'surviving' plane crash intact,
Detonations CLEARLY going off as towers collapse,
Bush reaction to news,
Payload strapped under second grey, windowless, "commercial" plane,
I mean... How much evidence do we need to be convinced?

Further... Nano-thermite presence is also apparent via the colour of the flames.

Anyone with Engineering, Explosives and/or Demolition expertise can plainly see this is a controlled demolition.

Worldwide Occupy Protests Chapters

There are three existing COMMUNICATIONS HUBS for #OCCUPY currently in developent:

Hub1: https://twitter.com/#!/CommsHub1
For General Information Dissemination to the Public.

Hub2: https://twitter.com/#!/CommsHub2
For information Dissemination to the Media.

Hub3: https://twitter.com/#!/CommsHub3
For information Dissemination between Chapters.

We created these three different hubs so as not to clog our Followers Timeline with too much data. Too much information and essential information, like that of YOUR given Chapter's Demonstration Time, Place and/or any specific urgent needs you may require, gets lost in the shuffle.

This page will hold all of Occupy's Chapters, worldwide, in alphabetical order.

Each Chapter will be supplied with a link to each Chapter's Blog page.

This will enable each Chapter to post their meeting dates, time, location and needs independently of us, thereby organizing the data at the same time, making it easier for people wanting to find data about and/or attending a given PEACEFUL Protest.

This will also enable the Media to contact each Chapter's Administrator so please make sure to enclose an email address where you may be reached for News Media Coverage (A good idea would be to use a generic email address, reserved for just said purposes, to protect your privacy)

This is our attempt at organizing our information so it does not get lost in the deluge and so more protesters are able to join our efforts. Use it, by all means. Any suggestion(s) anyone may have to help disseminate info quickly, while targetting our specific Audience, is most encouraged and welcomed.

Currently developping each Chapter's Blog Page... Please Standby.

We will also develop Communications Plans for each Chapter so each of you may be properly equipped when approached by the Media.

Please Standby...

Meanwhile, please touch bases with @OccupyTogether for NEWS and/or look up the People we follow to find your own respective Chapter. Have a great time, dress warm and stay safe out there. Cheers!
