http://occupyatlanta.org/contact-communicate/activity/p/2849/ Wed, 07 Mar 2012 12:08:36 +0000 biluxi posted an update in the group SoapBox Open Mic [bpfb_link url='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NESARA' title='NESARA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia' image='']NESARA is an acronym for the proposed National Economic Security and Recovery Act, a set of economic reforms suggested during the 1990s by Harvey Francis Barnard. Barnard claimed that the proposals, which included replacing the income tax with a national sales tax (see also FairTax), abolishing compound interest on secured loans, and returning to a bimetallic currency, would result in 0% inflation and a more stable economy. The proposals were never introduced before Congress. NESARA has since become better known as the subject of a cult-like conspiracy theory promoted by Shaini Candace Goodwin, who claimed that the act was actually passed with additional provisions as the National Economic Security and Reformation Act, and then suppressed by the George W. Bush administration and the Supreme Court. Other people have adopted and embellished Goodwin\'s ideas.[/bpfb_link]

Garner, authority to use deadly force in the line of duty is granted by state law to state and local law enforcement agencies. Individual agencies set policies and procedures regarding when and how to use deadly force.[1] When deadly force is used within the prescribed manner, the killing is deemed a justifiable homicide. Some law enforcement agencies routinely investigate all uses of deadly force while others investigate only cases involving extenuating circumstances. Other causes of death to suspects include accidents and police brutality. When the circumstances surrounding a death are questionable, a state and/or federal agency may investigate.[2][/bpfb_link]

http://www.democracynow.org/2012/3/1/headlines #8 The whistleblowing website WikiLeaks has revealed the Department of Homeland Security began monitoring the Occupy Wall Street movement soon after its inception last fall. An internal DHS report from October describes Occupy Wall Street as \"a significant challenge for law enforcement.\" The report also contains information apparently gleaned from Occupy-related Twitter feeds and progressive websites including the Daily Kos. It was released as part of the five million leaked emails obtained from the servers of the private intelligence firm Stratfor. In other Occupy news, at least 10 people were arrested on Wednesday in a march on the New York headquarters of the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, as well as branches of Citibank and Bank of America. It was the second consecutive day of protests for Occupy Wall Street activists seeking to re-energize the movement heading into spring.

http://occupyatlanta.org/contact-communicate/activity/p/2732/ Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:19:43 +0000 Jack Jersawitz posted an update in the group SoapBox Open Mic When are all you going to learn that the debate and implementation of one or another reform, or loss of one, is sucker bait.
What rules are the laws of capitalist economics. When those laws get them into a major crisis, this one the biggest of all time, the ruling class seeks to make the working class and the middle class pay for their crisis. Thesde major sixty - seventy year cycle crisis\' are only resolved, in the end, by war and the destruction of huge amounts of capital so they can start over again.
The only answer to that is revolution, let\'s call it by its right name, Communist (Not Stalinist) revolution which requires (For success) the leadership of a Marxist, Leninist, Trotskyist party. To the extent that we seek reforms of the welfare type that is only valuable if coupled to the requirement of a revolutionary party.
Social Democracy, for instance, tells us that until the revolutionary party and the revolution come along, what are people to do? Hence they run for and win office. The outcome of electing a reformist party, i.e., Social Democrats, is too be seen in Greece. Facing a working class openly on the road to revolution because the Social Democratic Papandreou government was imposing extreme austerity (Call it by its right name starvation) measures, Papandreou conceded to the EU and agreed a coalition government and actually handed over the Greek state to the EU where together they are trying to impose starvation on the working class. Starvation and revolution are on the order of the day. A revolutionary party and revolution are the only way out. Reform under those extreme conditions (Not all that far off here in the U.S. where it used to be said those things cannot happen) is sucker bait.
Occupy, as long as it is coupled to reform, to the sort of individuals who push for reinstatement of the Glass-Stegal Act (Because reformists classically seek to reform the capitalist state, not overthrow it) only helps the state keep things cool until the state has organized the military and the police to shoot and kill their blood brothers and sisters.
Occupy has to throw off the reformist bull-shit and become a revolutionary force. That requires Marxism and Leninism (Not the sterile crap RCP and other Stalinists put out as Marxism) and an understanding of how to build a revolutionary working class and party.
That information is to be found here where revolutionary party is deep into that process in Britain. The daily newspaper, The News Line (An actual printed on paper publication that also posts on the web) of the Workers Revolutionary Party is to be found here... http://www.wrp.org.uk
