This morning’s action may not be what a police state looks like, but it's certainly how one acts.
Not a surprise to me that the U.S. is a fraud posing as a democracy, hopefully a wake up call for others.
As hard as the NYPD and New York City’s government might try to obscure the truth though, one fact remains: At 1 a.m. this morning, in the heart of New York City, non violent Occupy Wall Street protesters exercising their constitutional rights to free speech and assembly were swept away by the state, while that state also did all it could to prevent media coverage of their forced removal from Zuccotti Park.
As New York City police cleared the Occupy Wall Street campsite in Zuccotti Park early Tuesday morning, many journalists were blocked from observing and interviewing protesters. Some called it a “media blackout” and said in interviews that they believed that the police efforts were a deliberate attempt to tamp down coverage of the operation.
At a news conference after the park was cleared Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg defended the police behavior, saying that the media was kept away “to prevent a situation from getting worse and to protect members of the press.” Such bullshit, please don't insult us Mr. Mayor, we are not as dumb as you obviously believe we are.
Some members of the media said they were shoved by the police. As the police approached the park they did not distinguish between protesters and members of the press, said Lindsey Christ, a reporter for NY1, a local cable news channel. “Those 20 minutes were some of the scariest of my life,” she said.
On Tuesday afternoon several journalism groups spoke out against the police tactics. One such group, the New York Press Club, said in a statement that “the brash manner in which officers ordered reporters off the streets and then made them back off until the actions of the police were almost invisible is outrageous.”
The group added, “We want the department to investigate the incidents involved in this crackdown on Zuccotti Park and we want assurances it won’t happen again.”
No matter what one may think of the occupiers or their cause, nothing they’ve done justifies beating them up, treating them as if they were criminals, blockading the press or ignoring court orders.The extremely unpopular Mayor Bloomberg, his ego maniac Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, and other New York leaders who ordered the eviction, should take a long, hard look at their handling of the occupation.
No one believes the crap of King Bloomberg, a typical rich, corrupt, lying putz, when he says that he ordered this violent action on the part of law enforcement because "the occupation was coming to pose a health and fire safety hazard to the protesters and to the surrounding community".
Then the arrogant Bloomberg mocks the protesters by saying "Protesters have had two months to occupy the park with tents and sleeping bags. Now they will have to occupy the space with the power of their arguments."
We the people have the right under the Constitution of freedom of speech and assembly. We supposedly have the freedom to exercise these rights.
Whatever your political beliefs are, whoever you are, we the 99% should all be united that no government, especially a so called democracy, as the U.S. claims to be, has the right to let loose their law enforcement to detain you, hit you, forcibly violate your freedom, as long as you are obeying the law, non violent, and not harming another person.
This is also happening at other OWS protests in an increasing list of cities, where non violent protesters are being brutally treated on the orders of their own corrupt politicians, police, and denied the rights that we are entitled to under the law. All those in power saying they are doing "it for the public good", yet we are the public. Sounds the same as some of the delusional dictators around the world making excuses for killing the protesters who want to oust them from their ruthless killing machine regimes.
This is a pervasive culture of doing nothing, it is a malignant sickness throughout every level of government, especially in our Congress as we watch the circus of criminal politicians who plunder and steal from us, with no regard to who they are hurting, only concerned with their personal power, obsessed with greed.
They act without any ethics, no conscience, and see themselves as above the law. They act in spite of the laws, the same way that today's protesters were treated. The same way YOU will be treated if you threaten their power, or in any way try to stop them from their need to control, rob, and bankrupt the soul of our nation.
It pisses me off big time and should also upset you. No one with a badge, or a political title has the arrogant right to suppress my freedom in any way, as long as I am abiding by the law. It is not a matter of discussion or as Bloomberg said, "no protection of the Constitution is absolute".
Government and Law enforcement disagree with us, we see it all the time, and they WILL touch you, disrespect you, punish, arrest, beat you up, physically, verbally bully you, threaten, trap you into herded areas, prevent you from walking on a public street, abuse their sworn ethical responsibilities, because they are the "enforcers" of illegal acts done in the name of the law ordered by the politicians, orchestrated by their masters.
If only we saw such diligence, attention, and aggressiveness by these very same forces against all the evil and corruption that is killing our country by the criminals, financial institutions, including those who run our governments as they steal from we the people.
There is not 1 elected politician who isn't owned by corporate America, as it is impossible to raise sufficient funds to campaign for election without being bought by the special interests lobbyists. These politicians are bought and paid for to do the work of ignoring corruption within company's, passing laws that encourage the loopholes used to increase business profits.
This permeates all the way from the politicians, to those who supposedly work to protect us against exploitation and abuse. It becomes a special world of the "haves", and at the top are soulless private corporate CEO'S, bullying management, who actually control this chain of layers within public government of what happens to regular citizens. OWS is a threat in exposing the evils of corporations, and so it has to be snuffed out using the police, courts, judges, to do the final dirty work of taking our liberty from us.
Where were, are these hypocrites in all levels of government, law enforcement, when they were supposedly investigating Bernie Madoff for years, but did nothing, ignoring years of insider trading among members of Congress that continues to this second, who are privy by their committee assignments to private information, the stealing of billions of dollars in fraudulent schemes by the financial institutions, criminal "shorting" by brokerage firms betting against worthless derivatives that were sold to unsuspecting clients who lost their life saving, child molestation epidemic cover up scandals by religious leaders, illegal bank foreclosures, and so much more.
Where are they in providing justice for the hundreds of thousands of murdered victims, innocent Americans, including my father Samuel Wolkoff, who are never given justice for homicides against them while their killers were being "handled" by the FBI, CIA and the military.
Where are they when laws are broken by government officials, Agencies, crooked judges, resulting that innocent American are killed with not a whiff of justice served for these victims, including my son Steven Nathaniel Wolkoff, to be killed but political "wagons" are circled to cover up the truth, and let the killers go free.
Well, they had their heads stuck up their asses because they were told to do that. As obedient sheep, it was and is their favorite position .
Now here they are, on the job, working overtime, protecting the public, in concentrating on the really important laws being broken such as confiscating "illegal" blankets, pillows, sleeping bags, looking in the eyes of protesters to make sure they are not sleeping, because it's against the law to camp out in a park. If they are caught sleeping, they will be arrested.
Such hypocrisy smells rotten, it's a special type of stink that can only be borne by those whose job it is to be whores for the elite evil, all who do not give a damn about your worthless life, and run the real America of cruel, hollow, pieces of shit leaders that are the ones who are really in charge of our country.
Now that this truth is "out of the bag" and people are witnessing how much we have been screwed, we can see if you even care, the lowest level of subhuman acts that those in power will use to protect their fiefdoms and teach the masses of citizens to "behave".
The politicians, judges, law enforcement do the bidding of their masters. Law enforcement, government agencies "just follow orders" and do whatever they want, whenever they wish, to whoever gets in the way of the power elite.
This chain of corruption has so eroded the freedom, diluted equal representation of citizens rights, that we have devolved into a a nation that is in truth run by 1% of the elite, who make the laws, tell us the meaning of the Constitution, all to be interpreted by them. None of what is decided for us applies to them, as they are the 1% privileged to the rights that they enjoy as they see fit.
The Tea party, the Right, the Middle, the Left can unite around changing these facts above that we are no longer a Country that respects it laws or its citizens. We can try to put this nation back into the hands of its citizens.
We will all probably in the end lose this battle and the little that remains of our being free, but we should make our stand with dignity, courage, giving it our best efforts together, not divided by those who seek to put a wedge of hate between us, as a diversion from their raping of our Country, for their own personal greed, power.
Those in power are using an escalating policy of slowly trying to jerk the protesters off as a way to wear them out. This is ALL about destroying the movement, destroying their tents, deliberately breaking their possessions, trying to provoke violence by attacking a non violent protest against the inequalities of the 1% in America and turn it into a riot.
Then they can justify their disgraceful treatment of regular people at the hands of an evil government. I hope that it will take much more than that to accomplish such results.

Will you continue to allow yourself to be abused by the government, or are you mad as hell to do something about it?

Have you had enough, and instead of fighting against your fellow citizens of different political thought, focus on voting out the parasite political incumbents of all parties, wherever you live, and take pride in the words "DON"T TREAD ON ME"? I know that I have had enough!
