Michael Rivero wrote the following on his website, whatreallyhappened.com. I'd like to quibble, but this is genius, and possibly the most insightful comment on a news article I ever read. Is he right? Yes. The American People are being treated like a derivative, or commodity. We represent value for long term repayment of debt. We are like legal tender for all debts, public and private, backed by the full faith and credit of the American People, except there's nothing backing our debt but us. If the government loses control of us, our creditors get swindled.
UPDATE: JUSTICE LUCY BILLINGS has been "thrown off" the case as court administrators prepared to "randomly" choose a new judge. Who is ordering the cops to refuse a court order? Three guesses.
Despite an iron-fisted shut down of overpasses to block protest signs here at APEC on Oahu, Asia has heard the people of the United States cry out that they will no longer pay for US Government mistakes or Wall Street's crimes.
As a result, Asia will buy no more US debt, and is openly worried about repayment of the debts they currently hold. Obama's insults to China show that he has thrown a tantrum, and desperate to borrow more money, he has to show the rest of the world that the people of the United States are chained down and unable to refuse to pay for the costs of Wall Street's Mortgage-backed Securities fraud, the biggest financial swindle in history, which is what has brought the global private banking network to the edge of collapse.
As this defiance of a court order demonstrates, the rule of law is ended in the USA. The police are being given orders to really start beating up the protesters before more of the world's financial centers realize that the US Government cannot make good on its promise, made and demonstrated during the S&L Bailout of the 1980s, to always have the taxpayers cover Wall Street's losses.
Sadly, we are entering a very bloody time in the nation's history, with the government willing to spill the people's blood to protect Wall Street's gold.

Olsen suffered from a fractured skull and had trouble speaking, friends said.
"I'm feeling a lot better, with a long road in front of me," Olsen posted on his Google Plus account Sunday. "After my freedom of speech was quite literally taken from me, my speech is coming back, but I've got a lot of work to do with rehab."

The "Occupy Someplace" Movement-My Opinion
The "Occupy Someplace" movement has murky origins. Some say it's financed by George Soros and other cabalists interested in making money on currency manipulation. Others say it's a pure grass roots movement. I would have to say there are elements of truth in both views.
I've been watching this thing unfold since it started, primarily on "alternate" Internet sites like http://whatreallyhappened.com. I've withheld judgment on this because I'm not quite sure if it's a positive movement. After all, I don't want Sarah Palin to be president, but how is that "hopey-changey thing" working out for you? Will any old change do? Is change necessarily good?
Consider the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Capital changed hands, but people were better off with the Czar than those Communist thugs. In America, we still have The Constitution. I admit it's being weakened all the time, subverted, and overridden by rules and guidelines released and approved unilaterally by government agencies. If we just dump our system, we'll be throwing our country into the hands of Russian style oligarchs who are taking over anyway, but are impeded by The Constitution.
When I look at this picture of Marine Vet Scott Olson lying in the street with a fractured skull, I am reminded of how insane this country has become. When the War Party needed these kids, they were heroes. Now they are back from the war and have woken up, and they are Commie traitors. I don't think so.
Anyway, here's my opinion. Occupy Someplace is useless because they are not attacking the correct targets. They distract from the really important causes, like End The Fed, and 911 Truth (yes, I'm a Truther. I'd rather be a Truther than a Liar.) In fact, Occupy Someplace is designed to distract people.
Consider The Tea Party. That started out as a grass roots movement to support Libertarian and Conservative ideas (true Conservative ideas, like The Constitution.) The Tea Party was subverted into War Party Goons. How'd that happen?
Consider political leadership as an art, and then consider that as with any art, by virtue of training or genetics, somebody else might be far better at this art than you or me. This somebody might not be anyone we would instantly recognize, but they are artists at attaining and keeping political power. These people never let a crisis go to waste. It has to do with synthesis/antithesis, problem develops, solution presented. They can't just crack down on civil liberties. They need a crisis as an excuse.
Watch Occupy Someplace. See what crisis, or problem they become known as representing. Ten to one the solution presented by our herders will result in less freedom for Americans, not more.
However, there could be a benefit to Occupy Someplace. The Movement discredits America as a bastion of freedom and civil liberties. When our Constitution is violated, we are disgraced in the eyes of the world. Since our pretext for many of our many recent wars is to protect the human rights of people in other countries, photos like those of Olson expose American hypocrisy. For that reason count me in. I don't know why they are protesting, but God Bless Them. Make us look bad. Please. We deserve it for what we did to Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and soon Syria and Iran. If we can remove the human rights excuse as a justification, we can force the criminal conspiracy running the USA right now to show their true colors, the stripes of the looters. Don't Bomb,bomb,bomb Iran in my name, nor in the name of human decency.
