Dylan Ratigan "Money Out of Politics"
Dylan Ratigan said the following beautifully at occupy Wall Street and we could not agree more. An excellent crystallisation of what we the people want!
Transcript:
"I am here because I agree with the principals and goals reflected not only in this community but in communities across the world who know that the government is bought by special interests and wealthy individuals who are preventing us from being able to advance our society in a way that moves to greater prosperity and equality. I believe that we are in a unique position in the history of the world where we can take an age old problem, rich people and the government getting together to screw everybody over and we can intervene for the first time going back to the Pharaohs and Egyptians, using digital wave theory around a singular objective, which is to declare or awareness of the corruption of the relationships between business and state and declare the sedation of our tolerance of that relationship. It's only by declaring that cessation of that relationship between business and state, that we can begin to have the debate we need to have about everything, from health care to education to jobs in America and that's why I'm here and that's what I believe the highest purpose for what I am doing is."
We would only substitute "we" in place of "I" in this statement. Thank you Dylan.
From The Greek Streets "Veria"
Little stories from IMF-run Greece: People in the northern Greek city of Veria re-connect disconnected electricity… and they explain why
On the 29th of September, a small group of people in the northern Greek city of Veria decided to take action and to reconnect the electricity supply in a number of houses that had been disconnected from the network. The electricity bills, it should be noted, are the government’s chosen medium of payment for the newest property tax; in a country with more than 80% home-ownership, thousands are expected to be unable to pay the tax (on top of their actual bill, of course) and to therefore face disconnection.
The group from Veria published the following text, explaining their action:
“At the present time, when citizens enjoy peace, order and security, where prudent laws and the welfare state are the rule, some citizens of Veria decided to commit a criminal act. They started reconnecting disconnected electricity supplies.
Responding to the charge-ahead of barbarity, they reconnect the electricity to families that could not afford to pay it. And electricity is a common good. This behaviour toward the citizens of our country is a criminal one; even if they led them to unemployment and impoverishment, they now convict them to a third-world-like everyday condition.
The ordinary citizens shall not bear the cost of the widespread looting by a handful of high-flying individuals, the sell-out of everything by political puppets. In this country, apart from the obligation to pay – over and over again – for thieves and crooks, we also have rights. And the most important of all is dignity.
The group reportedly opens up the electricity supply box, without the prior knowledge of its owner, re-connects the electricity and closes the box again, covering it with a sticker reading: “CITIZENS OF VERIA – Social Solidarity – We Reconnect the Electricity”.
Update:3/10/11 The troika continue to plan and action the rape of Greece and its people to save their private banks. Ireland, Portugal, Cyprus, Italy and Spain are quaking in their boots. Why do they not form a Freedom Union, separate from Europe, declare bankruptcy and a debt amnesty for their peoples daily essentials, homes etc. and commit to a mutual aid pact due to their common factors? Iceland should be part too. I am sure that the story of their rebound would then be legendary. Iceland's already is in my humble opinion. There is little doubt in my mind that continuing to allow the likes of the troika (the three headed hydra figurehead for private bankers) to hoist more un-payable debt on the people, is a road to terrible disaster, war and suffering.

Roseanne says guilty bankers should be beheaded
SAN FRANCISCO Comedienne and actress Roseanne Barr had a strong message for bankers who contributed to the economic crisis: Return the profits or be beheaded.
The comedienne and self-proclaimed presidential candidate appeared on the RT television program "Keiser Report" and said if she were president, she would bring back the guillotine as a form of capital punishment for the "worst of the worst of the guilty."
"I, first, would allow the guilty bankers to pay back anything over $100 million (in) personal wealth, because I believe in the maximum wealth of $100 million," Barr said. "If they're unable to live on that amount, they should go to re-education camps. And if that doesn't work, they should be beheaded."
Barr is one of several celebrities to come out in support of hundreds of protest who camped out in a lower Manhattan park as part of the "Occupy Wall Street" demonstration.
Barr announced her candidacy for president under the "Green Tea Party" ticket on NBC's Tonight Show in August. In a separate interview, Barr also said she is running for Prime Minister of Israel. In addition to bringing back the guillotine for executing bankers, Barr also said she would legalize marijuana and outlaw war if she were elected president.
