I'd also like to mention this forum. It's very populated and a lot more mature than occupywallst.org.

It’s true I just read an eye opening article there, a MUST READ Why Iceland Should Be in the News, But Is Not http://www.politicaljack.com/forums/showthread.php?5609-Why-Iceland-Should-Be-in-the-News-But-Is-Not

I like this site.

What dishonest spam this post is.

"We" are moving some of our discussions....

As if you are somehow connected to this website, you are not.

Bunch of inflammatory Google bombing articles on that site.

[-] 2 points by sudoname (1001) from Berkeley, CA 13 years ago

can you elaborate? I don't want to suggest people go there if it's like this.

The 3rd line of the title of this post says:

"This content is user submitted and not an official statement"

[-] 1 points by sudoname (1001) from Berkeley, CA 13 years ago

That is true. Plus, maybe in the original post he meant "we" as in "the royal we" (to quote The Dude).

Yes another forum to sabotage! Thanks! I love the Internet!!

Yeah, I've finally had enough of senseless troll wrestling. I had hoped we could keep a grip on this site. If we must give it over to the trolls however I think it MUST be shut down!

In the meantime, if you all are going to neglect moderating this board, lock it down it direct people to the new one. It is getting out of control here.

Bring down the corporate bigots before it’s too late. Bring them down quick! Assemble my lovelies with haste play the trumpets of freedom for we are not going to live in the past. Our brothers from times past were forced into submission and now their children are on the same path of rolling over and allowing the longevity of this earth to be put in jeopardy. Let us not allow history to repeat its self; our government is on the path of OIL. Let us as a NATION stand up against this injustice and say, we will not submit to your oil practices there are other ways!!!!!!!!!!! We will not submit to your "meat" eating practices!!!!! We will no longer eat your pesticide and antibiotic ridden foods that clog our bodies and minds!!!!! We will not continue paying for subsidies!!!!!We will no longer allow you to blind us from what you are doing!!!!!We demand glass walls!!!!!We will not walk this earth that is rightfully ours with our heads down ignoring your greed any longer!!!!We are no lesser of people than you!!!!! We are the revolution embrace us before it’s too late for you. Life is a precious gift that everyone all man all animal shall be able to enjoy so long as this system is stopped now. .....Freedom Is Being.......Peace Love Happiness

This is an emergency Notice to all members of occupywallstreet.org James Damiano the very person who's been for over twelve years fighting the law firm that represents

Goldman Sachs has been banned from this forum. Mr. Damiano is probably one of the most knowledgeable members and has contributed a wealth of information pertaining to the issues at hand in the Occupy forum

why was James Damiano banned? WHO banned him?

[-] 1 points by sudoname (1001) from Berkeley, CA 13 years ago

Did you guys see this art section? http://www.occupyr.com/Art/ Terrific

[-] 0 points by Ravinous (38) 13 years ago

Yep, this site has been hijacked by the leftist partisans, so we independents can't even say anything that isn't set by their narrow minded views.

By the way, keep deleting my account, I will just make another. Hypocrites with a power fetish.

[-] -1 points by Perspective (-243) 13 years ago

You know you hit a nerve when they delete your account.

[-] 1 points by Ravinous (38) 13 years ago

Actually it's leaking to Occupies. If you try to be critical of any actions of Obama in Occupy Seattle now, a bunch of new people shut you down before Mic Check or tell you to shut up because they don't want it to be "political". Seriously, this is the excuse I got.

How to remove corporate greed thru social financial shift

Once you have say..50% of the public signed on to the cause you can now organize on a specified date for a execution of the plan. The plan consist of bankrupting a company by pulling stocks,refusal to work,withholding pay from bills and from not buying the chosen companies products. For example let's say a multibillion dollar company all of a sudden looses close to half the workers in it's factory while simultaneously a major sell off of it's stock was occurring at wall street. The stock would plummet and the media would be quick to cover the unfolding developments.then as if the shock of a diminished workforce and a stock freefall wasn't enough the payment of half the goods on the books would remain unpaid along with the half empty stores filled with the talk of a giant who had fallen by the sheer will of the people The doomed company goes bankrupt within a very short amount of time and the workers start up a co-op an Employee owned company under new management with the proceeds and increase profit benefitting those that work there and the distribution of the wealth is filtered thru those of us in the community. We can do this to all the multibillion dollar companies and essentially get the money back. It was our money in the first place and it can be done. The benefits of such a hostile takeover of a major corporation are two fold you redistribute the money to the people and you eliminate a sponsor of political corruption.No corporations translates to no lobbyist and crooked deals behind close doors.Not only do you get the money back but in the end you get a political system that actually works for the people

When quoting another author, you should always give the appropriate attribution. So as not to be confused as the person who wrote the piece. In this case the author is Abraham Lincoln.

[-] 1 points by precipice (220) 13 years ago

actually, it is not by lincoln, that is a common misattribution. it is by a poet, emma wilcox (or something like that) i believe.

When companies stop caring about their workers as people, this current situation in our country that OWS is protesting is what we end up with. Only the bottom line matters!
