Gov. Scott Walker gets checked, Mic Checked!

Here comes the Cavalry. #occupywallst day 12 report.

From Daily Kos


I never in a million years thought that I would be typing what I'm about to type. The broadest coalition I've ever heard of is about to descend on Wall Street: The SEIU, New York City's working families party, at least one teachers union, the local 100 transportation workers union, more members of Anonymous, Ron Paul supporters, and today I saw a working father standing in the square with his children holding signs, so basic decent American Families with no organizational affiliation are out in the streets with us.

Our message is clear: We've had enough.

And this is just the beginning....

Indiana prosecutor told Wisconsin governor to stage ‘false flag’ operation

"A good opportunity for what’s called a ‘false flag’ operation"....ahem.

From Raw Story.


An Indiana prosecutor and Republican activist has resigned after emails show he suggested Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker stage a fake attack on himself to discredit unions protesting his budget repair bill.

The Republican governor signed a bill on March 11 that eliminates most union rights for public employees.

In an email from February 19, Indiana deputy prosecutor Carlos F. Lam told Walker the situation presented "a good opportunity for what’s called a ‘false flag’ operation."

The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism discovered the email among tens of thousands released to the public last week following a lawsuit by the Isthmus and the Associated Press.

"If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions' cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the unions," Lam said in his email...

My prediction for the next few years in America? What last little vestiges and dribbles of democracy there still are in America will be wiped out.

As Americans Argue Amongst Themselves, The Bankers Laugh

The defense contractor is complaining about teacher salaries. LOL. What about his salary bought and paid for by the government's out of control military spending to support wars for profit? In the end neither of them are talking about the giant bailouts and bonuses on Wall Street, declining american salaries, the wasteful military and security spending, the stagflation about to hit everyone, the debt, or the collapse of the dollar etc...

Ever see vultures fighting for that last little bit of road kill?

How dare those government workers have a union asks the Tea Partier? They should suffer like the rest of us...Oh the future of America will be bright indeed.

Once Again, Fox Masquerades GOP Activist As Concerned Parent To Attack Unions

I understand that Media Matters in its criticism of Alex Jones is completely off the mark. However the Tea Party is foolish to attack unions.

Why is it so hard for the Tea Party, or even some in the libertarian right to understand? It is the powerful, the corporate oligarchs and the elite, who want the unions gone. They want the middle class to suffer, and they want more money for themselves. That isn't freedom but exploitation.

The progressive left is equally foolish when it attacks 9/11 Truth, Alex Jones, or the Second Amendment.

Why is it so hard to see that 9/11 Truth, the libertarian right, as well as the unions, and the progressive left, need to get together to fight the real enemy, namely, the corrupt establishment (both corporate and government) pulling the strings in the shadows of America, leading it further into financial ruin, brutal inequality, a police state, and needless war and imperialism.

Ron Paul and Ralph Nader have suggested such an alliance. Perhaps it is the only alliance which could advert a catastrophe for America in the future. Stop bickering and find the common ground against the common enemy.

This morning, Fox & Friends hosted an "upset Wisconsin parent" to discuss her objection to Wisconsin public schools' teaching of labor union history. Left unsaid during the segment: The parent, Amber Hahn, is also a local GOP official...

Madison Protests Hit Largest Numbers On Saturday; Rockers On Their Way To Join

The hypocrisy is astounding of those who wish that all the debts built up by fraud, military adventurism, corporate socialism, and wall street bailouts now be paid for solely by ordinary workers while the Wall Street tycoons are still raking it in. Gee, I guess because I can see the obvious that must make me a communist.

International corporations, banks, special interests who often have little real relationship to the U.S. are however spared in many cases from paying their fair share.



From Huffington Post


None of it - not the ear-splitting chants, the pounding drums or the back-and-forth debate between 70,000 protesters - changed the minds of Wisconsin lawmakers dug into a stalemate over Republican efforts to scrap union rights for almost all public workers...

...Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello and other musicians will be in Madison on Monday to show support for the protesters rallying against Governor Walker.

According to a press release for the event:

On Monday, Tom Morello, Wayne Kramer, Street Dogs and other musicians will join teachers, students, community members, religious leaders in the state capitol to rally against Gov. Walker's radical proposals against workers and their union. They will call for policies that support the middle class and leaders who will respect the freedom of working people to collectively call for a better life....
