Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr. Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors. Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment. Demand four: Free college education. Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand. Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now. Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants. Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment. Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live. Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system. Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period. Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies. Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union. These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.

Since 1980...;} And Demand One: Eliminate the State of Emergency, underway since 9/11 with Clarke/cheney...officially Sep 14, 2001 in a Still Classified POTUS War of Terror Signing.
Demand Two: No American can be targeted for Assassination by the State W/O Due Process Habeus Corpus.
This Demand is impossible to achieve except thru a Power Down. Which is why your Democracy has been stripped away from you since Nixon...accelerated by Reagan. Peak Oil google for details...and Yergin's completely discredited for anyone doing a rebuttal...a complete non starter...;}
Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants. All of this $$$ will be frittered/siphoned away. Stripped and Corrupted like MMS(BOEMR/BUMMER[Even the name/acronym was made complicated to throw people off US OilRoyaltyEnvironment Management. And of course the Military MUST be put in charge of Demands Six And Seven while being pulled back from Empire. Which of course should be Demand ONE, but the Previous Posts explain why not....;}
This will entail Elimination of the Federal Reserve. And the creation of Palestine as a State. And the Reversal of SCOTUS $ = vote. And the Elimination of Corporations as Humans... Believe it or not.
But this is Planet Hell and I believe the above will happen when whoever has the Ring is stripped of it, and thrown into Mt Doom...along with the ring....8D We're ruled by psychopaths and the gods aren't very nice.
I have no issue with anyone in an overt state of war against the US being offed. I will lose 0 sleep over that.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
Me neither. But I'm not taking the State's word for who our enemies are. The constitution was haggled over for a reason. Habeus Corpus, show me the body. Due Process, the firewall against torture and murder. And how many times since 2000 has the State said, 'take our word for it'?
The state should Always be afraid of the people. And when the POTUS can kill anyone he wants for any reason, every other right is mute.
These are non-offical "Proposed List Of Demands For Occupy Wall St Movement! (User Submitted)"
"This is what economic policy in the West has become--a tool of the wealthy used to enrich themselves by spreading poverty among the rest of the population." Paul Craig Roberts
which is what is driving the media to frenzy. there isn't a 'target' to attack. no head to discredit and then decapitate. You're looking at what made/makes Tahrir Square the threat. "To understand #OccupyWallStreet, you have to get that it is not a media object or a march. It is first and foremost, a church of dissent, a space made sacred by a community. But like Medieval churches, it is also now the physical center of that community. It has become many things. Public square. Carnival. Place to get news. Daycare center. Health care center. Concert venue. Library. Performance space. School."
What media? This is getting absilutely NO coverage whatsover. This started last fall when 100K descended on Washington DC. There was no media coverage of that either. On the other hand, we do know what Sarah Palin is wearing at any given moment...courtesy of that same media...

What media? This is getting absilutely NO coverage whatsover. O I disagree. Last night, NBC and CBS(lulz as Pelly's in London and immediately goes back to the OSWers in Manhattan;) led with the OWsers. While Diane at abc thinks the Michael Jackson Dr's Trial is the Most Important News of the Day...;} A disjointed USSA MSM newscast shows they don't know what to do with this story. While the movement has been getting bigger (so far) by the day. And of course you and I know Exactly what the OSWers want and why they're outraged...but the MSM just can't seem to find folks like us...;}
And go back and read those 'demands'. Those might as well be Demon Cores to DC and the pols. Any idea how much $$$ the corporations have spent to keep Just Those Issues out of the News Cycle?
They marched down Braodway and were funnelled into a narrow area which caused jostling which NYPD claimed was pushing and shoving which devolved into a state of general disorder so they began arresting prople. The NYPD orchestrated it and got away with it because there was very little media there covering it. This is going on two blocks away from where I now sit. The Muslim "mosque" got more coverage than this... I stand by my statement. There is very little media coverage.

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment. Demand four: Free college education. Sweet Baby Hesus. Just those three right there, cut/swing Trillions to the Bottom 99%.
This is a well documented truth. If the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention riots had been blacked out like this action, it never would of gained such a major influence in that election and there would not have been a Chicago Seven trial.
I agree. How does the mainstream media - owned by several diverse and private organizations manage to all follow a seemingly same policy of censorship? The USSR had nothing on America's ability to self censor private news sources - but how is it done?

The NYPD orchestrated it and got away with it because there was very little media there covering it. And yet they're still there. All that work/effort by the NYPD and yes, the Media is trying to ignore this...sending rookie youngsters to report that they can't figure out what the OWSers want (every story I've seen this is derigour...;). And I'm sure Egypt TV was the same. But I bet World Media is covering the OWSers. I bet Iran/Russia/Brazil are getting the feeds. And the USSAEmpire must control Info as much as the Ground itself Overseas. It, the VOA, and others, Must say something. But eventually the State will use thugs and violence. It must. Media is not the AndAllBeAll here. The fact that a Sacred Space of Community is being carved out right next to the Capitalist Bastion is the Key.
That's why "real conservatives" don't trust direct democracy.
"You post articles- intellectual excrement, really- that support your inane, insipid mentality, on a regular basis. Capitalist Eric
Search About 7,840,000 results (0.13 seconds) 1. News for Occupied Wall Street The OWSers are viral now. Everyone knows what you're talking about. The Phenom is that the MSM becomes irrelevant. And about those 'Media Blackouts.' The USSA has been Blacking Out and Editing and AgitPropping so much since JFK's assassination, that I've made a bizness out of uncovering Same Daily. Haven't you folks noticed my Current Events style for the last 5 years? Like where is Powell's White Paper on Iraq that he promised from the UN on Feb 2003. The Problem for the MSM is that they've Blacked Out so much over the last 4 decades, that the Censored Bin/Circular File is full to bursting. The MSM HAS to cover something and with SOME truth. Or it gets ignored. Which, btw, is what is happening now. And speaking of Bullshit Ignorance, here's Wall St/DC's POTUS Du Jure, talking to us citizens like we're Third Graders...;} ON. ALL. CHANNELS.
"We want to be able to compete with other countries for jobs..." Like I said BullShit. He's talking about making MORE Free Trade Deals in order to ship MORe of American Jobs Overseas. To ship POLLUTION Overseas. To enable the Top 400 Wall Sters to get even wealthier. And make Slaves out of the Bottom 99%. DEMAND #whatever. All Free Trade Deals since JFK now NULL and VOID.
Obama, "This is not a matter of Class Warfare." Yes. It is. And the Wealthy Only admit to Class Warfare when the Bottom 99% start fighting back.
Obama: "I've gone out of my way to work with Republicans." No one told you to. AAMOF, we, the American people, gave you a Super Mandate so that you would SPECIFICALLY NOT have to work with Republicans.
And here from Matt: http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/ "The premise of their politics is that #OccupyWallStreet isn’t designed to fit into your TV or newspaper. Nothing human really is, which is why our politics is so utterly deformed. It’s why they don’t want to be “on message” – what kind of human society can truly be reduced to a slogan? I’m not sure I agree with their political premise. But in the carnival they have created, in the liveliness and beauty and art and fun and utter humanity of it all, they make a damn good case." Right now, anything you see on TV/Media is controlled by the state. The state will not report anything that it doesn't control.
