Police work IS crime

The cops are blaming everyone but themselves for what happened in NYC this weekend - even saying anti-police protesters and the mayor of New York have blood on their hands. But it's the COPS THEMSELVES who have their own blood on their hands.
Look, revenge killings are childish, unproductive and stupid. Killing a cop who ISN'T the cop who killed Eric Garner is even dumber.
But the fact remains that no human has the right to take another human's life. Period. Wearing a magic costume and brandishing a magic badge does not give the bearer some magic right to use force or coercion against another human. We are all born free, and humans only PRETEND to have special "authority" over others. They don't. They never have. They never will. I don't care what special semantic tricks you've been fed, murder of a human being except in self defense is not and will never be morally justifiable. Ever. No matter what you're wearing or who told you you could.
In almost every interaction between a citizen and a cop, it is the citizen who is the victim and the cop who is the criminal. It is the cop who uses coercion under threat of force to extort money from citizens on behalf of the state. It is the cop who kidnaps free people and holds them against their will. It is the cop who beats and injures a person for resisting being kidnapped, then charges their VICTIM with a crime. The entire situation is backwards and it's time humans look at it for what it is.
Police work IS crime. Almost every time.
And it is the criminal use of force and coercion against free humans that has created this blowback. It is sad, but it is also predictable. If they don't like it, they should 1) Stop killing innocent people, 2) Stop defending each other with silence...and 3) Quit their jobs because police work is immoral on its face.

The Power of NO

We've got judges telling us we don't have the right to choose what we eat, a secret panel of "senior government officials" can now put any American on a kill list for the CIA to take out, California is giving cops the right to search through your cell phone, and the federal government is superceding 15-year-old state laws and warning all medical marijuana dispensaries in California to shut down or else. Christ, they're even raiding kids' lemonade stands!

It's like they want us to rise up.  At a time when Americans are coming together to voice their anger to power like they haven't since the Vietnam Era, that very power is escalating the assault on freedom at the core of many Americans' discontent.  It's either idiocy on the part of government or a planned maneuver.  Whether the intent is to tamp down an uprising out of fear of further crackdowns or the fomentation of full on revolution so they have an excuse to impose martial law is unknown.

This is no longer America.  It's not the America we grew up with.  It's not the America we were promised as children.  It's not the America we want our children to inherit.  So you can bet your ass We the People are going to do something about it!

It's time we harness the power of NO!  No more.  There are a whole lot more of us than there are of them, and it's time we stop bending to their will and start asserting ours.  It's time to say NO to the erosion of personal freedom.  It's time the citizens united against Citizens United and say NO to corporate personhood.  It's time to say NO to the Federal Reserve.  It's time to say NO to corporate money in politics.  It's time to say NO to expanding executive power and the death of due process. 

Where, When, and How
This is our moment, my sisters and brothers.  This moment.  This movement.  It's time to Occupy Together and find our common ground.  We don't all agree on everything, but we agre on enough to demand and FORCE radical change in America and the around the globe.  The corporations that run this show are multi-national, so it's time to make this protest movement global by making it happen EVERYWHERE. 

Where: I don't know where you live, reader, but I live in Wichita, KS.  The middle of America.  And that's where I plan to make my voice heard.  I encourage you to focus your inner leader and form a demonstration where you live.  Or find one to join. 

When: October 15.  There will be global protests on that day.  Join us. 

HowOccupy Together.  This website has become the nationwide answer to what started as Occupy Wall Street.  There are protests and outright occupations springing up across America.  Click here to join one or start one in your own town. 


#OccupyWichita
 If you live in Wichita, I implore you to join the demonstration here on that day.  Click here for information and to join.  But you don't have to wait until October 15.  There are daily ongoing Occupations in Wichita.  Click here to learn more.

I think it's important to admonish everyone to remember we have to be UNITED if we truly want to see real change from this growing movement.  Look, you're not going to agree with everything everyone else in this movement wants.  They're not going to agree with everything you want.  We have to have to HAVE TO find - and hold - the common ground!  It's the ONLY way to accomplish anything.  If we waste time focusing on what we don't agree on, we'll be divided and conquered by the powerful vested interests who are truly becoming frightened by the surge in passion and anger. 

So how 'bout it, Americans?  Are you ready to rise up?  Are you ready to demand this country changes the way it operates?  Are you ready to exercise the power of NO?

NYPD entrapment of Occupy Wall Street protesters

You've most likely heard that the NYPD arrested more than 700 protesters for blocking the Brooklyn Bridge.  What you don't know is the cops literally led the protesters out onto the bridge and blocked both ends, then began arresting the hundreds who followed them.  This is entrapment. 

According to the Free Online Law Dictionary, entrapment is "The act of government agents or officials that induces a person to commit a crime he or she is not previously disposed to commit." 

This is exactly what happened here.  In the video below, you can clearly see the cops leading the protest onto the Brooklyn Bridge.  You can clearly see the cops leading protesters all the way out onto the middle of the bridge, and in the vehicle lanes.  Then, you can clearly see the cops - with hundreds of wrist ties at their hips - hold the line.  That's when they blocked the other end, pulled up their paddy wagons, and began arresting people.

Obviously the NYPD, who received the largest ever donation given by Wall Street on the eve of the protest, were hoping to discourage and discredit the Occupy Movement.  The truth will out, and the truth will set us free.  The truth is, these people were led into a trap.

I thought you should know.  Spread the word.  This is only the beginning.  It will end in fundamental global change for the good of all.
