Real tough guy eh Robert? You don’t have a clue thus you critize a movement that has already scared the FIRE sector to the point where they need to send in the stormtroopers. We all rely on each other, and unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock for the past decade, Banksters have been relying on THEFT to drive their profits.
We’ve heard this crap before, sometimes from the criminal financial sector themselves. They always claim that the economic devastation they’ve created through destructive rape is somehow the fault of the victims themselves.

“A Soldier, His Prayer”

Stay with me God. The night is dark.
the night is cold; my little spark
of Courage dies. The night is long;
Be with me God and make me strong.

I love a game; I love a fight.
I hate the dark; I love the light.
I love my child; I love my wife.
I am no coward. I love life.

Life with its changes of mood and shade
I want to live. I am not afraid
But me and mine are hard to part.
Oh! Unknown God, lift up my heart.

You stilled the waters at Dunkirk
And saved your servants. All your work
Is wonderful, Dear God. You strode
Before us down that dreadful road.

We were alone and hope had fled.
We love our country and our dead
And we could not shame them; so we stayed
The course, and were not afraid.

Dear God; that nightmare road, then
That sea; we got there-we were men
My eyes were blind, my feet were torn,
My soul sang like a bird at dawn.

I know that death is but a door.
I know what we are fighting for.
Peace for our kids our brothers freed,
A kinder world, a loving creed.

I but the son my Mother bore.
A simple man and nothing more.
But-God of strength and gentleness
Be pleased and nothing less.

Help me God, when death is near
To mock the haggard face of fear.
That when I fall, if fall I must,
My soul may triumph in the dust.

“Essex Troup”

This was read at a funeral I went to Saturday by a fellow Serviceman at the deceased’s request. Three uniformed soldiers folding our flag. Taps. Not a dry eye in the Church.

I was so moved, I requested a copy from the Gentleman. It’s available for download on scribd with handwritten notes below.

“A Soldier, His Prayer”

Any more LEOS who may be deciding to shoot a Veteran with any kind of bullet should read this. Though it would probably mean more to our Country’s Veterans past and present.

The “Occupy” movement is consistent with a lot of the baby doomer philosophy, i.e. occupy space and something may happen. Like spontaneous generation, an ancient theory by putting some old wet rags and rotten food in a corner would create life, i.e. a rat. While it might be nice that people are banding together; this is an economic time where sitting outside of a large financial institution hoping that it will change is futile. In fact, I have heard several interviews with people involved in the moment and to date I am unimpressed with their overall lack of understanding of the what the “occupy” movement is even about. I’m not sure that I really understand it myself, despite the ramped media coverage. It’s just a not sequitor of repeated, meaningless soundbites. Maybe easier said than done, but innovation creates necessity. Stop standing outside a building hoping osmosis of a half baked idea will penetrate the economic structure of capitalism and try to get a job, or here’s a novel idea; create one, where you can have more on an input in changing things than sitting outside a building. I believe strongly in the right to protest, but make it have a meaningful purpose instead of standing in the rain to show how poor you are because big business has taken your job or not has made available a job in the cookie cutter fashion you always believed would happen since you dropped at least 50k on college, probably studying business, economics or political science which majors in my opinion area a waste of time. Manage your expectations, the world still needs ditch diggers, (and I don’t mean that literally), college education or not, and not a bunch of $50k a year new employees in white shirts who graduated from college and don’t know anything. Managing your expectations has a lot to do with you relative happiness. Maybe you won’t be so unhappy or feel the need to blame others for your economic troubles. I’ve been down and out; and the only solution was self reliance and persistence. When preparation meets opportunity it creates the concept we call luck; it doesn’t always just happen. Refocus your energy and build something new; that’s all I have to say.

Hi Marilyn and Rob….Happy Halloween….looks like more of the usual… alot of tricks but no treats….I see the stock market took a nose dive today…..more robbery or our wealth….Some large investment firm filed bk and I heard Chase had alot of “unsecured” investments with them…They keep coming up with more sneaky ways to launder all of their fraud….Strange days indeed…Went to make a deposit into the business account today and the bank teller gave me back my deposit money…but put it in as a deposit….I don’t know if it was a mistake or she was trying to tell me something…Never had that happen to me before.She gave me back the exact bills that I gave her..There was not a soul at that bank today, not one car or person…never seen that before…I actually thought it looked like they might be closed….I noticed all of the tellers were hovering around the computer screens….I did not question what she did, because I thought maybe she was trying to do me a favor… after seeing the stock market today maybe they are all about to tank…I hope so because I am sick of fighting fraudclosure…I was watching CNBC tonite talking about the underground bunkers the elite have been building underground all around the world….preparing for the solar flares or some other 2012 doomsday world ending scenario….I think they are building them, as a place to hide from all of us when they pull the last straw…I think that is coming soon…Funny, the sellers of those underground bunkers don’t believe the world is going to end….maybe it is only going to be the end of the world for the politicians and all of their minions and cohorts…I guess the builders and sellers of these things cannot tell where these underground hideouts are….if they tell they fear losing their lives over it…I think what the elite really fear is the debt zombie apocalypse…when the 99% have finally had enough of all of their lies and bullshit…..they will be the ones hiding in the caves because they will be the wanted terrorists..! Bush’s words might just come back to haunt him…Wanted Dead or Alive….!

Law enforcement represents eager employees. The elite are terrified, for fear that everyone will know just how obscenely unfair the status quo has become. How has it come to the point in this country where people die from lack of basic needs, whether they be housing or healthcare? How has it come to be in this country where unemployment means losing everything, even the clothing on your back? How has it come to be that we send youth to die in foreign lands, while people in this country are driven into the ground by engineered debt, lives destroyed by financial predation and many just look away, glad that they aren’t in similar situations? Not us – it’s our duty to pick up our brothers and sisters.
When powerful people are terrified they notify “security”. Security takes over and knows that the bill of rights, your constitutional “freedoms” are no longer applicable, as far as they are concerned and as far as their methods confirm. A dog who has been well trained doesn’t think, they obediently snarl with aggression when called, knowing no better.

Ran into a stack of tea party propaganda today. It is so inflammatory and biased that it borders on anti-patriotic. We are really dealing with class war-fare and the moneyed class is pulling out all the stops to fund Republican nominee candidates to put one into the presidency as a Corporate puppet. This pure Wall Street, banking money hiding beneath the “tea party” label, nothing more! The lies in the mailing were over the top and obvious. OCCUPY needs to form a third party reshape the Republican dominated House of Representatives, oust the tea party and their Corporate benefactors! The time is ripe now!
