#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Activists Vow to 'Occupy' Hong Kong http://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/campaign-03282013142915.html Activists in Hong Kong have vowed to occupy the city's Central business district on the anniversary of its handover from British rule, as a high-ranking Chinese official dashed hopes for fully democratic elections for Hong Kong in 2017. Qiao Xiaoyang, chairman of the law committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), was quoted this week as telling a closed-door meeting that China will not allow someone who “confronts” Beijing to become Hong Kong's leader. “First, the nomination committee will decide. Then voters in Hong Kong will decide. Lastly, the central government will decide whether to appoint or not,” Qiao was quoted …http://www.twitpic.com/cf693u
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty TWO BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN: “We may congratulate ourselves that this cruel war is nearing its end. It has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood. . . . It has indeed been a trying hour for the Republic; but I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless.” The passage appears in a letter from Lincoln to (Col.) William F. Elkins, Nov. 21, 1864. See: http://www.ratical.org/corporations/Lincoln.html “These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert to fleece the people, and now that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people's money to settle the quarrel.” speech to Illinois legislature, Jan. 1837.

#union #iww #ows #p2 #tlot #tcot “Monks, this committed life is not lived in order to deceive people, or to convert them. It is not lived for the sake of gain or honor or reputation or financial profit. There is no idea of “let me draw people's attention to me by being a this or a that.” No, monks, this committed life is lived for the sake of seeing into things and understanding them.” -Itivuttaka Suttahttp://www.twitpic.com/blq9i3
#union #iww #ows #p2 #tlot #tcot Election weirdness http://www.jimhightower.com/node/7893 Politics bring out people's best and worst… and the deeply weird. For example, the 2012 prize for “Stupidest Thing Said About Women” was in the bag for those two GOP senate candidates who flashed voters with gross displays of their masculine boorishness and ignorance on the topic of rape. But then, out of far right field, came Janis Lane to snatch the prize from the men. President of the Central Mississippi tea party, Ms. Lane blurted to a reporter that the worst change in American politics was letting women vote. “There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women,” she explained. “They are diabolical… double-minded, you can neve…http://www.twitpic.com/bgst5x
#union #iww #ows #p2 #tlot #tcot The dirty little secret of private equity profits http://www.jimhightower.com/node/7886 Executives in private equity firms – such as Mitt Romney of Bain Capital and Henry Kravis of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts – tend to be peacocks who think quite highly of themselves. Fanning their splendid tail feathers, they unabashedly claim to be the ultimate free-enterprise risk takers – worth every dime of the multimillion-dollar paychecks they award themselves each year. Excuse me, but the risks taken by these self-anointed “heroes of the market” are done with other people's money, not their own. But here's a revelation that really ruffles their feathers: They appear to have been gathering their riches not with bold…http://www.twitpic.com/berfpc

The group is collecting donations to buy outstanding loans and pay them off. An offshoot of Occupy Wall Street is out to buy up citizens’ distressed debt and then abolish it. The group Strike Debt! is seeking donations for its Rolling Jubilee campaign to purchase outstanding loans at discounted prices and then simply write them off, pardoning debtors and preventing loan sharks from profiting.

#union #iww #ows #p2 #tlot #tcot Superstorm Sandy–a People's Shock? http://www.naomiklein.org/articles/2012/11/superstorm-sandy-peoples-shock Less than three days after Sandy made landfall on the East Coast of the United States, Iain Murray of the Competitive Enterprise Institute blamed New Yorkers’ resistance to big-box stores for the misery they were about to endure. Writing on Forbes.com, he explained that the city’s refusal to embrace Walmart will likely make the recovery much harder: “Mom-and-pop stores simply can’t do what big stores can in these circumstances,” he wrote. And the preemptive scapegoating didn’t stop there. He also warned that if the pace of reconstruction turned out to be sluggish (as it so often is) then “pro-union rules such as the Davis-Bacon …http://www.twitpic.com/bcinuq
