Could someone tell me what the occupy movement is about

i predict in the NewYear that Occupy will become a religion .

through this struggle about Space/Existence , the people will
experience the reality of a 4th spatial dimension and their miracle magic
story shall have to do with teleportation , its practice and ethic ,
and the mystery of the spiritual will which can transport a camp
instantly . or maybe just get someone cool past the locks through
the walls into the mountains out of jail .

 

The elites that control politics in America have been spending millions and using their AM radio puppets to slander the Occupy movement. So many workers keep on believing that supporting those who sold out this country will somehow trickle down to them. Occupy Dallas was a growing open movement until the police bullied free speech beyond the ability to assemble. We have to keep fighting.

 

I completely agree on the tariffs and penalties for shipping jobs overseas and maybe a higher tax on foreign made products to promote more purchasing of american made products its really time to stop thinking about the poor corporate ceo's meeting their quota and making in one year what i make in 5 and bring the low class citizens to a better lifestyle in a country like america or any country for that matter there should never be starving people. ive probably thrown away enough spoiled food in a year to feed a third world family (based on amounts they are used to eating) for at least two and there isn't one person i know that hasn't done the same so the food is there its just those that don't have the money to provide it its sad really food,shelter, water the three basic needs for a human to sustain life and too many people are often left choosing between one of the three usually shelter is the choice and what sadder ive gotten charity help in the past to pay gas and electric but apparently water doesn't count as a necessary utility and no one helps pay so ive had water shut off a few times like many people i know its just sad how human greed can cause those choices.

 

the american people became annoyed that the people controlling their country were deliberately running it into the ground.

stop all military foreign aid to all countries and the problems of the world and for america will cease.

america used to be a major manufacturer, it was killed off by the people running the joint because they were more worried about other peoples countries rather than the country they lived in

when the "banking" system was deliberately run into the ground the same people decided to pick up the bill, as soon as this happened the banking system gave itself a pay rise.

the other elephant in the room is religion, when people gave up the capacity to think for themselves and just allowed a clergyman to do it for them things became worse. america committed itself to a religious war because it would hopefully bring on the end times - when all it did was bring an end to them - this is why no provision or thought was given to what could happen when the loans to pay for it had to be paid off. exactly how do you think a multi trillion dollar war was going to be paid for execpt through loans. if people took loans then the govenrment could collect tax on them and thus pay for the war. the more money in the system the more money to pay for war, this is why the government never stopped the problem. when a country at war the economy is damaged.


joe average on the street doesn't know or care that their life is about to get a lot harder

if you want to change anything you need to stand for election, complaining about problems won't do you any good

 

I wouldn't completely say it's religion. Most of the most basic teachings in christianity is to be humble and help your fellow man that doesn't mean keep $100,000 in your bank while people around you starve the bible teaches to take that $100,000 and help everyone and instead of buying all this nice stuff buy basic necessities and help. It's not religion as much as its fake people pretending they are religious and doing the opposite of what they're taught because of greed and envy

 

AND stop all financial aid too, because the peoples of those countries do not benefit from it, at all... quite the opposite infact... ie... the Congolese who oppose the current leader, Joseph Kabila (endorsed by the west) are being murdered and raped every day... foreign aid does not get to them, it hinders them... it keeps monsters like Kabila in power...

but what you said about standing for election, is not an Occupy thing... there is no hierarchy, no elected officials, because we are all capable of running our own countries without corruptible middle men (which is, afterall, what most politicians are, and if they are not corruptible, they don't get into power... period) and, on a similar note, we are all capable of connecting to our own God (of our understanding) without middlemen too... never trust middlemen :2thumbsup:

 

I make use of middlemen all the time.
I rely on medical doctors, lawyers, environmental scientists, people who have more experience in my job, and yes, sometimes I listen carefully to what some religious leaders have to say.
The problem is not that I listen to them and consider their advise. The problem comes when I rely exclusively on their advise. Everyone I rely on can be wrong once in a while. Why should I stumble just because the other person stumbles?

 

:2thumbsup:

 

The trouble with middlemen are they have three interests. Yours, theirs, and the other guys. Just make sure your getting the best deal.

 

but that's just it... if you have to put the work in to check that you are getting the best deal, then middlemen become obsolete anyways... and it will always be better deal without a middleman...

 

The idea of representational democracy came about in a time when only wealthy men were able to get a good education. Now that education in most first world nations is free and even the poorest have access to tools to help them learn and get ahead, a more direct democracy could be within reach of most modern nations.

 

And that would scare the crap out of those "representatives" that are making a killing doing what they do..... What is it that they do again? I've forgotten......

 

If we wanted democracy, wouldn't our turnout at the polls be better?

 

^^^ you won't find that breed of democracy @occupy...

 

Democracy is three wolves and a sheep deciding what is for dinner tonight.
The whole idea of constitutional government is to protect unpopular ideas and unpopular groups of citizens.

A century ago, a young woman was murdered at a pencil factory not far from here.
Her supervisor was a Jewish guy and so when the government decided to round up "the usual suspects", naturally he was arrested.
The press whipped the mob into a frenzy and they broke into the jail and dragged him out and lynched him on the town square.

A woman was murdered and a Jew happened to be nearby.
The mob had all the evidence they needed.

 

it needs to be about ending the federal reserve bank!
