Before we start - Thanks shooz for the title and for writing the store section with me - and now :

Our story began something like this:

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN ( rumble of thunder - flash of lightning - a very loud sharp explosive crack - and screaming horses heard...... um wait ... that was young frankenstien - right? I mean "Blucher" - a rumble of thunder - flash of lightning - a very loud sharp explosive crack - and screaming horses heard - yep yep ok sorry - we continue) :

aAHHHHELLHEELLHHHELLPHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Help it's on my face.......... is that brooks-brothers it is wearing? aaAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHAaiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee no no NOOOO now IT'S SNORTING COKE ( KOCH ? ) AND GETTING MORE ENRAGED eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaa aaaa the claws on it's tentacles iiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeee bad manicure u say? sorry my bad but ya gotta admitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i i it's gotten my wallet owwwww the things it's doing to my credit and debit cards aaaa help somebody pour salt on this thing or something eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa how the hell did it get my mortgage Don't Go Out Tonight ............ bound to take your life badmoonsontheriseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee chokechokechoooough damn it's saturated with obsession............losing consciousness............

slap . . . slap heyHey buddy you OK?

ummm wa wha what happened where am I?

It's ok buddy I gotcha - man you are lucky that I came along when I did....what are those things?

b b b brokers I think...............ohhhh ugh ( retch ) what is that sickly smell?

YOU MEAN THOSE THINGS ARE PEOPLE???? - the smell ? - OH yeah - it's better then it was - it was that thing that attacked you - man what a stench..................

in that they were once human is only a c c c co conjecture a a a-theory at this time......................

Where did they all come from???

. . .it is thought that they were mutated by the toxic meltdown of wallstreet

OMG this is bad this is real bad......

.........water...got some water?......

.....uh? oh .... Hang on bud I'll see what I can find......

I heard yyyou saying that this was bad...real Bad.....why???

....Well it is just a thought - but - what if they spread?....

OMG.........

EXACTLY - O - M - G.......

.........b bubut what about the National Gaurd can't they be called in???

Sure sure once they rotate back from the middle east I spose....Damn the timing couldn't be much worse

...wa wah-what about thththe police??? they can handle this...can't they???

Well now there-in lies the rub....

what do you mean - rub?

Well whats the city supposed to do ? - I mean we got that handful of dangerous protestors they been watching - does the city risk letting them roam free prancing around protesting how every thing is all fucked up - while they see about the meltdown mutants?

just what is it that makes these protestors - so - Dangerous anyway ?

Well it's not that they are a physical threat to anyone - well not in an in your face immediate beat-down kind of thing. No it is because the city - the government - the corp(se)oRATions are afraid that the average individual might hear them and actually listen to what they are saying - then - Worse - They are afraid that the people will take a real good look around them - not just looking at this City or State or this Country - But the Whole World as well - AND - AGREE - agree that things are truly fucked up and that the government State & Fed are not working with the people to make things better. Damn I wouldn't want to be in their shoes - not right now anyways - why you couldn't pay me enough ta make me wanna........

for a couple a mil?.....

....well that might take the sting out a little.....heh heh.......

but ummm going back to what you were saying - isn't it worse to do nothing about the mutants and the meltdown? I mean - isn't that what the protestors are protesting?

EXACTLY But for some insane reason they the government are actually making things worse.

how so?

Well you have heard about the stimulus program haven't you?

ok yeahhh go on

Well - does it not seem to you that they the government are throwing fuel onto the fire?

Yeah that does seem pretty insane...

... ok now - Be right back.........


Interlude - at the store:

That'll $1.98 plus tax, for the water sir. Don't drink it all in one place..........:)

I C It's been filtered AND flavorised too.

*OH - right - That'll be another $4.99 plus tax for the water enhancer, sir. Water's not free you know.

SHIT yeah I forgot i was rememberizing back to the days when fresh water was just that - fresh water....I wonder what happened ............ ....seems like a fairy tale now....

Oh? You wanted "fresh"? That'll be another $2.98 plus tax sir. You know it costs money to put "fresh" on the label.......:) That's $10.50 total.

Will that be cash, credit, or debit? paper or plastic? Have a nice day.

Can I have a generic?

Yes That will be $2.56 And remember.......absolutely no smoking and keep it away from heat sources. Sign here, here and here.

That's more like it...........thanks

Don't forget your complimentary iodine tab......................:)

Ummm it doesn't say on the bottle - but I see different bands of darker water in the bottle - is that the generic flavorization? Am I supposed to shake it before opening?

Sir? If you don't want the generic water and your free iodine tab? There's a drinking fountain in the town square, right next to the oil derrick. Enjoy. There are paying customers waiting.

Sorry I don't generally buy bottled water - is this a new generic brand? Frackenlicious - huh - and look at the bottom of the label in small print - "Koch it's the real thing" - huh funny that reminds me of an olden timey soda commercial I once saw in a school history class. BTW - is it really necessary to take this with the iodine tab? or is that just a marketing gimmick? I saw a commercial where they were also adding quinine. Are you adding quinine? or is that just some fancy schmantsy upper crustal area thing?

What do you mean you don't buy bottled drinking water? Are you from Mars, or something? What other kind is there? Look sir, you already signed for it, so pay up, and you can read the fine print later. I'll print it out for only a dollar. Geeze, I just sell the stuff. they bottle it in back on the night shift. Come back later and ask them..........................:)

Ya know? That fancy quinine stuff? I think that is one of the Halliburton Bottling Plant products. Anyway sorry for the time Buy buy - till ladder-on.

If you have malaria, there's a walk in clinic down the street. Only $200 per service. I heard the free iodine is for "possibly" radiation. So, hey.....no worries...............:)

OH Hey thanks for the heads-up - only $200.00 you say - wow what a steal - thanks again - and here all this time I thought you were just an A-hole looking for the sale and hustling the traffic out the door as fast as possible - well that'll learn me - what was that ancient saying? hmmm ( I think this is the right useage - ahh who cares he likely won't know the reference anyhoo ) - ummm - It says one should not judge a book by it's cover ( damn I hope that was proper useage I just hate looking like a fool - WTF is a book anyway? - that's the problem with ancient sayings - so damn cryptic ) - anyway Buy Buy.

Buy and save!! You can't save, if you don't and the more you buy, the more you save! So, would like two bottles? One to shit on and one to cover it up with?

( daymn this guy "is" a hard-core salesman ) HeeeHeeeHeee and handing out good business sense - man did I have you pegged wrong.............. ummmm yeah and again buy buy.


Interlude - our hero returns to the stranger he saved:

Sorry it took me so long to get the water buddy but the store was crazy - I did manage to get one of those generic brands though and look - it came with a free Iodine tab..

...thanks but what do we do now?

...What can we do - we will have to call in FEMA......

Do you think that is wise?

......Of Course Not - but it's something - right?.....

thinking about the mutants and the wallstreet toxic meltdown producing them?...

Yeah? Go On What cha got.....

  • well I am thinking that the authorities have gotten it wrong* ......

OH GEEZE BIG F'n SURPRISE .......

No No wait - I think you misunderstand - yeah most of those idiots in office - State & Fed are less then useless - but this one is different - welllll - kinda sorta anyway - I think that they kinda got the cause and effect backwards ....

Now what the Hell is "that" supposed to mean . . .

what it means is - that wallstreet didn't go toxic 1st - no - it was the workers on wallstreet - starting from the very top and trickling on down - it really sucks - but it looks like the 1st and only trickle down program that ever worked - WAS - TOXIC . . .

SHIT . . .

yes nice connection - toxic shit - indeed - because if this hypothesis is correct . . .

OH GOD something tells me I ain't gonna like what you say next ....

yeah I feel ya man - but if the hypothesis is correct - well then that means - that means - OH GOD - that the mutants are

- dun dun dunnnnn -

CONTAGIOUS - they caused the meltdown - not the other way around - and they are loose . . .

DAMN DAMN DAMN

what now?cough...

That explains soooo much . . . HUH . . . they are contagious . . . and government state and fed have had significant exposure..... OMG OMG O M F'n G ....................... Is it too late?.....................

I would love for the story to take off ( so I tweeted it ) - but if anyone ever made money on it - I would hope that it would only be to gain donations for Occupy.

Cool - destroy the contagious toxic mutants before they destroy the world [ careful - some of the infected are not as far along in the disease - so are hard to spot - "tip" be very careful around corp(se)oRATions and Gov offices ]

Just when you thought that banks couldn't possibly suck any worse (harder?) than they do:

Bad feelings over the bailouts and extortionary bank fees have driven millions of Americans into the arms of local credit unions. But instead of luring them back with better customer service, Big Banks are using their lobbying might to kill off credit unions, attempting to destroy a crucial tax exemption that credit unions need to survive.

Big Banks sucked up over a trillion dollars in the bailouts, but now they’re claiming that credit unions are a threat to the national deficit. Banks say that credit unions cost the government $1.5 billion in lost tax revenue, but if the banks get their way, it will end up costing us over ten billion dollars each year in higher fees and rates.

Congress gets back from recess this week, and banks are about to kick off a big lobbying push for the fall. The banks are trying to kill consumer-friendly credit unions so that they can raise rates with impunity -- but we aren’t going to let them.

Tell Bank of America and its cronies to stop their crusade against credit unions.

We can’t afford a future without credit unions. If we show the banks just how much this desperate gamble will backfire, the threat of bad publicity and another banking scandal will cause the banks to rethink their pricey lobbying push. Large-scale protests have forced banks to change their tune before, and once word gets out about the banks’ incredible greed, the backlash should send them packing.

Anytime that regulation is mentioned, bankers like to cry out about free-market principles. But banks use an army of lobbyists to shape legislation as they see fit. This time, they’ve gone too far in trying to take out the competition. If we all step up today, we can stop this in its tracks, and save consumer-friendly credit unions from extinction.

Tell the Big Banks to back off their bullying tactics and stop trying to kill the credit unions.

Thanks for all that you do, Kaytee, Claiborne and the rest of us

Did anyone really need another reason to tax Wall street???

Here ya go: http://occupywallst.org/forum/soon-to-be-a-major-motion-picture-nightmare-from-w/#comment-1003133


In compliment - GR8 E-Mail :

Have you lapsed into the old habits of helplessness, despair and isolation? Have you forgotten how fiercely you’ve fought, the strength and courage you showed, how it felt to shoulder a burden, no matter how heavy, with friends and allies?

Fortunately, the second anniversary of Occupy Wall Street is at hand, acting as a timely reminder about what Occupy means to us all! And on this S17, the Occupy Network is especially excited about one campaign in particular.

This September 17th demand that our politicians Tax Wall Street.

There are many great actions rolling out on S17, but the Robin Hood Tax is particularly encouraging to us since it epitomizes Occupy's fight for fairness. This proposed minuscule taxation of Wall Street transactions can generate hundreds of billions of dollars annually, tangibly transforming the lives of everyday Americans who are struggling day to day to make ends meet.

Like Robin Hood, the tax targets financial injustice, repurposing money that is being hoarded by a small sector of Wall Street and bringing it back into the service of the common good.

The tax takes .05% from all Wall Street transactions - not the daily transactions of regular people - but those done by Wall Street banks, hedge funds, and the like. This tax specifically targets the short-term casino style trades that threw us into a financial abyss.

The $350 billion acquired by this tax will then be applied to the health and well-being of the country: providing universal health care, abolishing student loans, paying for jobs and to rejuvenate our decaying infrastructure by renovating our crumbling bridges and dysfunctional hospitals. The money could provide for a new Green economy, make sure all children and adults receive the education they deserve, and, as unbelievable as it seems, effectively cure AIDS globally by making medicine and treatment universally accessible.

Occupy S17: join us to fight for a Tax on Wall Street.

This is movement legislation, and it encompasses a long-term, practical fight for a more just world. Of course we would prefer to jail the bankers and break up the banks. But in the absence of that, we still have a powerful way to proceed. At the very least let’s shame our politicians into compelling the banksters who stole our money to give it back! A small tax like this is more than fair, and it’s an eminently achievable goal to boot.

Our sisters and brothers in the National Nurses Union, Transit Workers United, VocalNY, Act Up and Occupy are ready to go, to throw their weight behind this cause and raise their voices, to chart a way forward out of environmental and economic crisis.

We need all voices loud, all fists raised, the love from all of our hearts and all of us there to do the hard work. As we take the first step, we need you with us.

Come join the cause on September 17th to #TaxWallStreet.

Remember why we occupied, and join us again.

-- from your Occupy Network team

p.s. S17 is but one important date coming up as we approach the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy. Watch this powerful video interviewing Sandy Survivors and explaining how a Robin Hood Tax could help build a better world for us all.

Good article - but I would argue with the title:

US Prison Laborers Are The New Slaves

As I think it is more accurate to say -

Criminals/prisoners the Slavery that has never ended. As even back in the day of the south owning slaves - there still was prison labor for profit.

Good Point

Still a good article and an issue that needs to never leave the public eye - till it is properly and forever addressed. So never - as one can count on things not remaining fixed - but requiring regular attention/maintenance.
