This ain't no Goddamn sound bite . . .

The “media” is dismissing the Occupy Wall Street movement as unorganized, without direction and having no cohesive message.

Hmmmm, let’s see . . .

The government is wholly owned by corporations who hire lobbies that write legislation which is rubberstamped into law to their own advantage.

There is no redress from the Supreme Court because at least three of the justices accept bribes and gifts from entities with matters before the court.

We spend more money, half of all discretionary spending and more than all the rest of world combined, on the Military but can’t win a war in a country with no army.

One in four children live below the poverty level and one in five will go to bed hungry sometime this year.

Our health care system no longer helps the sick but exists only to enrich drug and insurance companies.

The disparity in wealth is greater than any other industrialized nation and greater than it has been since 1929, the poverty rate is higher than any time since Lyndon Johnson’s war on poverty and one percent of the population owns more wealth than half of the remainder.

The government is deadlocked over picayune political games while fifteen million people are out of work.

Which of the talking heads can put that on a bumper sticker?

1. forget msm...they are not our friends..they are owned and if we depend on them for news

they own us..turn it off..they are not relevant to the times

2. Here's the bumper-sticker summation for those pretending they don't get it:

ITS THE FASCISM STUPID

I listened a few times to the words of the General Assembly. The core essence is that moneyed/corporate interests have overtaken our government and the people no longer have a means of redress. In short, the problem is we have descended into fascism.

3. The talking heads are paid by the corporations.

So they won't do much to report on it that doesn't contain a snicker.
