Interesting picture considering almost 100% of all OWS protesters who actually vote will be voting to reelect Obama.

Thanks for the feedback!

What distorted mind created that image. They need help

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

It is a scary truth.

[-] 0 points by Fedup10 (228) 12 years ago

It's not even close to any reality, just delusional thinking

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

No it's the truth and I am not arguing any more about it. If you have actual facts to back yourself up, i'd like to see you try and prove me wrong instead of just saying I'm wrong. I'll supply you the same.

[-] 0 points by Fedup10 (228) 12 years ago

What are you saying is the truth?

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

The truth is that the federal reserve along with it's puppets are throwing our economy into Hell, that's the point of the picture. It clearly demonstrates todays realistic problems such as oil control, how the government is being controlled and ultimately brainwashing us. I think people need to wake up and open their eyes!

[-] 0 points by Fedup10 (228) 12 years ago

The picture shows the WTC being attacked. The federal reserve had zero to do with that horrific act.

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

WTC has everything to do with bush and all his fuck ups. I am saying that the feds are being demonstrated with the money on fire, the whole brain washing frankenstein affect with obama. I think the picture is depicting the "creator of the monster" kind of theory. Look at the placement of it all, he is literally behind obama.

[-] 0 points by Fedup10 (228) 12 years ago

The WTC attacks began with the first attack. Then their were a number of attacks such as the USS Cole, from AlQuieda occurred under President Clinton. The Islam extremist hatred of the USA was not any one president or party's fault. president Obama is his own man, and not the creation of anyone. I disagree with him on many issues, but it's insulting to depict him as a puppet of Bush.

The point is that these people are evil for what they do. They did it. The federal reserve, the government, same shit. These people sell their souls to the devil practically and engage in heinous acts. Read between the lines. The federal reserve and all it's secrecy is dragging us down to hell.

You Freak! If the devil did it, then your god is equally responsible.

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

And no, I am a Christian, and we don't believe in that diabolic activity , thank you. I think you should take a good look at that picture. It's not the devil it's our sadistic government. Lot's of politicians do that sign with their hands, because they are all devil worshippers! They sicken me! That's why they are all sneaky lying snakes! Not one worthy politician out there, that's why I am all for taking them and the fed out.

[-] 1 points by Markmad (323) 12 years ago

Wrong! The sign is meaningless; there is no evil, no hell, no heaven and no deity. The sooner you do learn to free yourself from ancient misconception the better-off for you and humanity.

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

You sound like a troll ,dear.

[-] 1 points by Markmad (323) 12 years ago

Only when it relates to blind faith.

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

There is no blind faith, just blind people.

[-] 1 points by Markmad (323) 12 years ago

Look in the mirror.

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

No, my dear I have. I see just another victim of this distorted society. I want to reform but we need to acknowledge the enemy! The real enemy! Fed doesn't want to help. Neither does the government. That's why people are taking it in to their own hands. The faster you realize this the faster we can all unite!

[-] 1 points by Markmad (323) 12 years ago

Correct, I do agree in part, but it’s important to mention also that the curse of humanity remains; ideology, theology and currency. Apparently you still have some dogmatic issues in the dungeons of your mind do be solved. The way out is basic research; astronomy, psycology and biology.

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

Just simply look at this article it raises good points about these federal reserve groups and their evil plans ( I say evil because they steal from us!) http://colonel6.com/category/abolish-the-fed/

[-] 1 points by Markmad (323) 12 years ago

I do agree! Then again, we do know what the problems are and it’s important to move beyond finger pointing and bogus criticism and begin to look for real “solutions” We need to present solutions!

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

But that being said, I see no bogus in the picture if in the picture what I have previously stated is clearly demonstrated.

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

I do my research. so here is some food for thought :We know two things: 1) the official policy of the Federal Reserve is to engineer and maintain inflation and 2) inflation is theft. As I have recounted here many times, in nominal terms, it looks like average wages (earned income) in the U.S. have been rising smartly for decades. But measured in purchasing power, i.e. adjusted for inflation, earned income has declined for most workers, especially in the past three years.

Measured in purchasing power, i.e. the number of gallons of gasoline or loaves of bread an average worker could buy with one hour of labor, American workers have experienced a steady decline in the value of their labor for the past 40 years.

Whenever a pundit scoffs at the idea that the dollar might lose 95% of its value, readers remind me it already has lost 95% of its value in the past century.The Federal Reserve robs savers every day of millions of dollars, which it then transfers to the “too big to fail” banks by paying interest on those banks’ reserves. Savers earn .01% on their cash while banks are paid 2% interest. The difference is what is stolen from savers and funneled to the banks. Inflation is theft not just of cash but of liberty. Inflation is the biggest crime of the fed. that is reality, it is factual. ' Nuff said.

wow - it is a pleasure to deal with someone who can have a normal conversation - too much of this stuff is ranting and defending ones position. chomsky is another one to read about almost any issue if you are interested - keep working at this - we may have a chance!

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

Yeah thanks, I have an open mind and I don't believe I am always right, I like to give others a chance because after all we are all in this movement because we have been negatively affected by this economy. We all know that there needs to be change, so why not open up to one another and try for unity. I will read about Chomsky. My sole purpose is to keep learning and expanding what I am passionate about. I am hungry for knowledge always and I deeply appreciate when people people fill up my cravings!

[-] 1 points by flip (7101) 12 years ago

yes inflation of many essentials is a problem and will continue because the world is running out of resources. inflation also hurts people on fixed incomes but that problem is easily solved. i agree with you on many levels but it is important that we understand very well the problems and possible solutions - educating ourselves is not easy since there is so much misinformation - by those in control! we do not want to be doing their work for them - "secrets of the temple" is really good and very informative - it is about the fed during the reagan and volker era but also gives a very good overview about the history of money etc

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

I'll try and check that out then.

[-] 1 points by flip (7101) 12 years ago

just read your quote from jefferson - that was a good one but he points out your misunderstanding of the fed and the whole problem. the problem is not the fed but who controls the fed as jefferson says - private control of the money system is going to benefit those in control. the fed should be controlled by the people as he says - go to znet and check out the charts in leopold's article from tuesday - that should help you understand what is happening

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

Good point, thank you for shining some new light!

[-] 1 points by flip (7101) 12 years ago

your stuff is not factual - the fed is not the problem and inflation is not the problem. the fact that wages have not kept up with inflation is a function of gov't policy - breaking unions, tax policy and the like. inflation is a problem for bond holders and lenders not borrowers like most of the population. my mortgage gets cheaper each year if there is inflation and my house increases in value while the bank gets paid in cheaper and cheaper dollars - there are no absolutes here but inflation has been rampant over the history of the united states and yet the country is much richer than it was in 1910 - explain that! i would suggest you read "secrets of the temple" and also do some research on the populist movement of the late 1800's - they worked all this out long ago. ron paul and the gold standard are not the answer!

[-] 1 points by msantos (131) 12 years ago

Maybe you have some good points, but from what I have read and seen i.e graphs, statistics it looks like I had some truth. But everyone has their own opinion and is entitled. You cannot deny the inflation of food and property taxes in these days.

@Markmad

You do understand the concept of parody, dont you? There is no truth more true than that which is told while laughing

[-] 1 points by Markmad (323) 12 years ago

Oh yes there is, science is the best answer we have.

Well Said!!!! Occupy won't support it because it shows their demagog in a bad light al be it the reality of our situation.

That's a great pic. Hard for the corporate sponsored astroturfers to troll an image too. We need more stuff like that.
