Also, Westchester to Stamford/Greenwhich, CT huh. It's no wonder you have no understanding for middle class workers and their lives, much less immigrants legal or not.

If it was Rush hour then it would take longer. I grew up in Mt Vernon which is the 1st city from the Bronx. Yes its the suburbs but not Scarsdale

Wanna talk illegal aliens? Yonkers, New Rochelle Port Chester, White Plains, all cities and towns closed to where I live and overrun with them Especially Port Chester. They even made their way upstate to where my cousin lives in Brewster. Main St there looks like a central american dump

Occupy Wall Street kitchen staff protesting fixing food for freeloaders
By SELIM ALGAR and BOB FREDERICKS

The Occupy Wall Street volunteer kitchen staff launched a “counter” revolution yesterday -- because they’re angry about working 18-hour days to provide food for “professional homeless” people and ex-cons masquerading as protesters.

For three days beginning tomorrow, the cooks will serve only brown rice and other spartan grub instead of the usual menu of organic chicken and vegetables, spaghetti bolognese, and roasted beet and sheep’s-milk-cheese salad.

They will also provide directions to local soup kitchens for the vagrants, criminals and other freeloaders who have been descending on Zuccotti Park in increasing numbers every day.

To show they mean business, the kitchen staff refused to serve any food for two hours yesterday in order to meet with organizers to air their grievances, sources said.

As the kitchen workers met with the “General Assembly’’ last night, about 300 demonstrators stormed from the park to Reade Street and Broadway, where they violently clashed with cops.

Officers made at least 10 arrests when rowdy demonstrators refused to get out of the street and stop blocking traffic. A dozen cops on scooters tried to force them back to the sidewalk.

There were no reported injuries.

The demonstrators said they were angry over the violence in Oakland.

After making their way to Union Square, many of the protesters returned to Zuccotti.

The Assembly announced the three-day menu crackdown announced earlier in the day -- insisting everybody would be fed something during that period.

Some protesters threatened that the high-end meals could be cut off completely if the vagrants and criminals don’t disperse.

Unhappiness with their unwelcome guests was apparent throughout the day.

“We need to limit the amount of food we’re putting out” to curb the influx of derelicts, said Rafael Moreno, a kitchen volunteer.

A security volunteer added that the cooks felt “overworked and underappreciated.”

Many of those being fed “are professional homeless people. They know what they’re doing,” said the guard at the food-storage area.

Today, a limited menu of sandwiches, chips and some hot food will be doled out -- so legitimate protesters will have a day to make arrangements for more upscale weekend meals.

Protesters got their first taste of the revolt within the revolt yesterday when the kitchen staff served only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and chips after their staff meeting.

Organizers took other steps to police the squatters, who they said were lured in from other parks with the promise of free meals.

A team of 10 security volunteers moved in to the trouble-prone southwest section of Zuccotti Park in a show of force to confront them.

“We’re not going to let some members of this community destroy the whole movement,” a volunteer said.

Some arguments broke out as the security team searched tents -- but no violence erupted.

Overall security at the park had deteriorated to the point where many frightened female protesters had abandoned the increasingly out-of-control occupation, security- team members said.

Rumors swirled that one homeless man had pulled a knife in a dispute the night before -- and that there had been yet another case of groping.

But protesters and a cop on duty told The Post that most of the crime goes unreported, because of a bizarre “stop snitching” rule.

“What’s happening in there is staying in there,” said the cop.

As a former Marine. It's unfortunate that this happened to him and I hope he can recover. Im not going to harp on him he served in Iraq.


However the left wing talking heads in other circumstances would call Marines cold blooded killers. Example John Murthas botched Haditha case where Marines were exonerated. Also the majority of that crowd would be the same ones protesting to get military recruiters off college campuses and throw bricks thru recruiting stations.

The Marine who was injured by the canister does not speak for the entire Marine Corps. It's one person. To be fair there are a lot more Vets at tea party events.

If that list you posted is true I see no problem with the majority of it. #'s 3 and 9 will never happen and #11 although will never happen maybe something like it should happen in some capacity. Since the banks got a bail out why not the people? Everything else seems fair and what is needed to help the other 99% of society and what a country should do for its people. Education and healthcare are 2 things in this country that should be a right not a privilege. Both would only make for a better society and a more productive one!

I hate that argument. we have plenty of other things that are run by govt or "free" education and healthcare needs to be on that list.

I live in the real world and have always done for myself but I also see and understand how people from time to time need help. There is nothing wrong with helping fellow citizens and there sure is hell nothing wrong with educating our citizens. We no longer have jobs in this country for those who cant afford college and the jobs we do have dont pay enough to live off of. We need to create more jobs, increase salaries and distribute the wealth in this country. I dont think the rich isnt allowed to be rich but there is a problem when the top 1% is getting richer and we have lost our middle class!

We ALREADY have a surplus of college graduates! Haven't you been reading all the sob stories about all the kids with humanities degrees and $60K in student loans that can't find work?

Not to mention that we already spend hundreds of billions (on the federal level alone) on education and have NOTHING to show for it. These kids are fucking retards. What sort of logic can lead you to the conclusion that they'd do any fucking better teaching college students? You can't be that delusional.

I don't understand one thing with this whole occupy thingy. How come no one is going after the Goberment..they are allowing these companies to get away with murder.

The Gov removed the bank restrictions, they let companies charge what they want, and the alternative energy?? I have been hearing about that since clinton...where is it?

I am not saying the companies are not scumbags...but the people we elect and suppose to rep us..what are they doing?

The hurrican that hit the NE...Blooomberg and the MTA close the trains and say it takes 10 hours to shut down and reset up the system. The hurrican hits and is gone by sunday 11 AM. What does bloomberg say...Might not get the trains up and running by Monday rush..But you just said it takes 10 hours to restart everything...You have 17 hours before the rush. yet Bloomberg should be saying to the MTA..hey assholes get it moving. if not for public complaints the trains would of never been ready.

People should be occupy city hall park and that is the problem. not the companies but the fuckers who should be protecting us from them.

The indiginous people of the Americas, Australia, Europe and pretty much any tribal or comunal society had their natural resources robbed, people killed and/or imprisoned for a "civilized" society to establish private ownership.

Explain to me how it could be done any other way hotshot.

So the indigenous people had natural resources (that being natural didn't belong to them by definition) taken, and that is the fault of the concept of private ownership. Or do you actually think they OWNED the property either as a community or as individual and it was wrong that it was forcefully taken from them?

In either case, it's a useless point as you're blaming the concept of private property for the actions of thieves, which again is a logical fallacy.

A. There is a difference, IMO, between private property and private ownership.

B. Why answer my question when you could just call my argument a logical fallacy? Which, it is NOT, btw

A. What exactly is the difference?

B. Because I believe in giving examples as to WHY something is a fallacy instead of simply proclaiming that it is.

B. Because I believe in giving examples as to WHY something is a fallacy instead of simply proclaiming that it is.

A. privately owned enterprise: a commercial enterprise that is owned by private investors, shareholders or owners (usually collectively, but they can be owned by a single individual), and is in contrast to state institutions, such as publicly owned enterprises and government agencies.

private property: consumer goods or goods produced by an individual.

B. Im glad you BELIEVE in that, Im just waiting for you to come up with those examples..

I started listening to Glenn Beck again in the AM. He brings me so much joy. Today's guarantee was that Russians will send agents to the US after the Occupy crowd creates anarchy. These Russian agents will reside in our homes and, if we oppose, they will kill us. Then, they will restore order and take over the United States.

Apparently, buying overpriced antique collectors' coins will protect us, though.

LYRICS:

if there ever was a time, it would be now is all I’m saying if there ever was a time to get on your feet and take it to the street cause you’re the one who’s getting played right now by the game they’re playing come on meet me down at Zuccotti park

oh where are the youth, we need you now
come speak the truth, come break it down
where are the youth, we need you now

if there ever was a time, it would be now
to make the masters hear this
if there ever was a time to get downtown
and get non violent and fearless

things only get brighter when you light a spark
everywhere you go right now is Zuccotti park
and news corps says you don’t have a plan
well sit down man, i’ll tell you again
the plan’s to stand together up to greed
and a tear gas can in a veteran’s face
won’t change the case

(chorus)

if there ever was a time, it would be now
for the rest of us
if there ever was a time it would be now
cause money and power are incestuous
a moment makes a movement
or it fades out in the dark
come on meet me down at Zuccotti park

and i saw a sign in the oakland spring
it said “occupy everything!”
or by and for and off won’t mean a thing

No it doesn't. It's not like they were arrested for no reason. Apart from a few incidents of very poor police behavior, can we stop acting like they're stormtroopers?

the point of the note really is why haven't any of the bankers been arrested? why have we given those thieves handouts and allowed them to do what they wanted without consequences? Yet they arrest protesters who are only trying to be heard?

At 1 time I worked on wall st for a very short period of time in the early 90s. I still dont understand how the stock market is legal yet gambling on sports is illegal. People get arrested for playing poker but brokers dressed in suits trade and scam on worthless companies and making billion dollar paper transaction daily. Most stocks do not currently trade based on their actual value they trade on opinions and stock prices are manipulated by fund managers buying huge blocks and selling them. The market makes money only for the rich and for who is in the circle of the powerful. Many people believe that the Avg Joe no longer can make any money in the market. The market used to be long term investments with dividends. Now many companies dont offer dividends and stocks are really meant to be traded often. Its 1 big gamble yet its legal and completely easy to manipulate by investors, fund managers, "leaked reports" media information and false information.

Im not defending the bankers but a lot of their practices were not against the law. Remember in W Street 2 when Gekko said Greed is now legal when he gave the speech at Fordham.

Before all these day traders and wild triple digit swings, There were fundamentals like for example researching stocks base don rational P/E Ratios. When the tech bubble burst the dotcoms were trading exponentially above their earnings. Years ago investing in the market was still risky but there stable companies with healthy balance sheets which paid decent dividends.

Along with the stock market these days you have the government involved big time now because the banks/brokerage houses etc know that they will be bailed out and backstopped. In many bubbles and bursts the federal reserve plays a role with cheap money and artifically low interest rates.

you are right and thats why regulation is important. but you seem to have a problem with regulation. stocks are still trading at ridiculously high p/e ratios, much higher then they ever did when the markets were stable and true long term investments.

another problem is the insurance scams. brokerage firms take out insurance against a stock making money, the same stock that they purchased. how can that be legal they are betting against themselves? same goes with options, puts and calls are glorified sports bets. you are betting a stock will either go up or down some lose some win yet it is legal to gamble against something that is so easily manipulated. i think my biggest problem is we criminalize people who bet sports yet we allow gambling of others peoples money on paper pushing which also controls our economy (globally) and thats just fine yet time and time again it has proven with bubbles bursting and bailouts that the system is broken and for the most part its the avg joes who get fucked via their pensions, their savings etc. while the guys making the decisions walk away with millions and billions!

Great vid, discussion and loved the quotes/pieces by JFK and Carlin...they couldn't be more right.

As for Rogan, I never had the guy pegged to be into this type of thing in any way, much less haveing any semblance of a critical thinker. I blame myself for that, as I just lumped him into that fear factor, meathead, UFC type from my limited exposure to him for which i couldn't be more wrong and I feel like an ass bc of it. It's one of those moments when you sit back and reevaluate something in your own life that allowed you to make such a rash/wrong assessment on someone based on very limited knowledge of said subject. I couldn't have been more wrong in my short-sighted examination of the guy and really enjoy his show even when I don't agree with him.

Really good video. Like Spoon I was surprised by Rogan and how he seemed to know what he was talking about and understood the true problems going on and why people are doing this. I gained a greater respect for him. I do think this movement will only get bigger and grow and hopefully soon enough someone with any kind of power or better organization skills can take this over and become the face of this movement. My biggest fear of that is whoever does get the power will turn into a greedy, power hungry farce like most and they will be bought off by the rich and powerful and just feed back bullshit!

Hell no, we won’t go — unless we get goose down pillows.

A key Occupy Wall Street leader and another protester who leads a double life as a businessman ditched fetid tents and church basements for rooms at a luxurious hotel that promises guests can “unleash [their] inner Gordon Gekko,” The Post has learned.


The $700-per-night W Hotel Downtown last week hosted both Peter Dutro, one of a select few OWS members on the powerful finance committee, and Brad Spitzer, a California-based analyst who not only secretly took part in protests during a week-long business trip but offered shelter to protesters in his swanky platinum-card room.

“Tents are not for me,” he confessed, when confronted in the sleek black lobby of the Washington Street hotel where sources described him as a “repeat” guest.

Spitzer, 24, an associate at financial-services giant Deloitte, which netted $29 billion in revenue last year, admitted he joined the protest at Zuccotti Park several times.

“I’m staying here for work,” said Spitzer, dressed down in a company T-shirt and holding a backpack and his suitcase. “I do finance, but I support it still.”

During his stay, hotel sources said, he and other ragtag revolutionaries he brought into the hotel lived like 1 percenters. He would order up a roll-out bed to accommodate guests, they said.

“He’s here all the time,” a hotel source said. “We all see him at the protest.”

Spitzer denied sheltering Occupiers. He claimed he only invited in a blogger buddy living at the park to wash off his camp grime.

Meanwhile, Dutro, 35, one of only a handful of OWS leaders in charge of the movement’s $500,000 in donations, checked in on Wednesday, the night after police emptied Zuccotti Park.

While hundreds of his rebel brethren scrambled to find shelter in church basements, Dutro chose the five-star, 58-story hotel, with its lush rooms and 350-count Egyptian cotton sheets. He lives only a short taxi ride away in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

While hundreds of his rebel brethren scrambled to find shelter in church basements, Dutro chose the five-star, 58-story hotel, with its lush rooms and 350-count Egyptian cotton sheets. He lives only a short taxi ride away in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

so, what's your point? some people in the fight have money and are tied to the industry and hence know it's flawed and needs fixing? that the W isn't really some swank place, it's a starwood owned hotel in which I could get a room for 100 bucks and often less, but it's NYC so of course it costs enough to make people jump out of their shoes?! or wait, is it bc they also let some others in said room and they're hypocrites bc they entered a nice room? So the W is off limits bc it's in the park and tents only?

Whats amazing about the story to me is that the "establishment" and the right are trumpeting it as some kind of example of the "Occupy Movement" being false and boasting about it.

If I were them, that story would scare the shit out of me...as it would appear that they are losing some of their own.

My point is that if he was going to be 1 with his bretheren fighting the cause he would be out there in the field and on the streets even if Zuccotti was cleared out. Why should he live among the riff raff.
Maybe he got himself a high price hooker

The way youre commenting you think the W is some cut rate chain hotel. The W downtown looks pretty swanky to me

yes, we all know 1 million in NYC, specifically there is a big price right!?

WF, I'm with them and never left my house for it. There are different levels of support you can add to the cause, but going there isn't an option for me right now. That surely doesn't mean I'm not with them if I have 200 thread count pillows, much less a rented room at a nice spot. In fact, I wish someone like Buffet would buy out all the nice hotels for 2 years and give these people places to crash and upset normal business bc it's not business to help the common people of this country any longer anyway. I'm a little off there I presume, but you get my point. I don't give two fucks if some protesters stay at a hostel or the fucking W! In fact, it's nice to see people from different social economic levels coming together for what is right, especially those toward the top willing to expose their own.

Warren Buffett aint that aww shucks favorite uncle that the media portrays him to be. Berkshire Hathaway is still fighting tax cases going back to 2002 at the same time his tentacles reach far into the federal government. He said that derivatives and complex financial instruments caused this meltown and to his credit he is correct however Berkshire hathaway owns tens of billions of derivatives. His investment in Goldman Sachs was a winner for him because Goldman was bailed out at 100 cents to the dollar and many of its execs are tied to the administration. Buffett loves his bailouts too



http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/WB-Bailouts.png

[WRESTLINGFAN]

At the core of OWS I support the original cause. Kill the crony capitalism, end the bailouts for banks, but bailouts also went to GSEs like fannie/freddie and auto companies. Where is the outrage over the GM fiasco? Its not even making the news, you have to dig deeper to find out the story that taxpayers are going to eat the loss for even more.


Theres hardly anything about the federal reserve keeping rates artificially low so banks can borrow from the discount window at rates of near 0% then profit from the money they lend out. Most people dont know that the fed is a private bank. MF Global was a 2 day story but it looks like now 1.2 billion worth of client money is missing. Jon Corzine is a big Obama bundler and was considered for treasury sec.

jesus wf, the buffet point was a simple passing thought, not some tie in to the argument

yes, he's in the business of making money based on said rules, of which he has said are set up wrong, along with our tax code

this doesn't mean he won't put himself in a corner and not compete versus other comps and lose money bc of it, but he wants said game changed so he can compete via better rules for all of us

this argument you come up with is again off the path and in the same field as he should just pay extra taxes if he wants to so bad

you really have a tough time staying on topic. i'm pretty sure you might need ritalin...rant on med/generics/health care in 5, 4, 3, 2, ....

Pointing out that Buffett is nothing but a fraud and in bed with the federal government isnt on topic. Do you know that Berkshire Hathaway benefits from the death tax, He sells insurance so that he can profit from the death tax then has companies which sells assets of estates to pay the taxes.


Buffett is full of it His 17% tax rate is him drawing off of his portfolio. Boom no payroll taxes, he is either stupid or he is disingenuous I'll take the latter. He will stop at nothing to protect his assets There isn't a tax loophole that he doesn't take.

Buffett owns companies that thrive and profit from higher taxes, he doesnt give a fuck about the 99% hes all for himself .

It's fortunate that Warren Buffet became a talking point.

If someone bring up Warren Buffet, it's a handy indicator that they don't know a goddamn thing about the topic, and can just be ignored.

yes wf, this conversation was about your goose down pillow story and invalid/idiotic point

i guess it's my fault for using too many words and making that passing thought/joke at the end of my post opening it up for those too off to follow said convo

As with a lot of movements, the leaders never live amongst the people so he secludes himself from the cause

Berkshire does that a lot.

Generally if B/H buys a company, invests in a company or loans a company money...said company is either going to be broken down & sold for parts, sold outright, or pay ridiculously through the nose for the money.
