The silence of the media is deafening. Scott Olsen was NOT SHOT BY POLICE during the Occupy Oakland protest on Oct 25, 2011. The MSM are complicit in the push to canonize the Veteran Peace Martyr and embellish some back story to further stoke the fires. Why would you stop the General Strike with the TRUTH? The facts indicate "anarchists" blew up a Vet and blamed the Police, the media eagerly propagating the lie of a POLICE SHOOTING . The Media and Occupiers got CAUGHT SPREADING PROPAGANDA and it is NOT A STORY or even a CORRECTION. That should tell you something about the backing of this movement. The Media, Occupiers and the Mayor are all responsible for the charade, but they won't be held accountable. That is PROGRESSIVE.

Jean Baudrillard and Hyperreality
b. 1929, Reims, France simulation:
-the process in which representations of things come to replace the things being
represented . . . the representations become more important than the "real
thing" -4 orders of simulation: 1. signs thought of as reflecting reality: re-presenting
"objective" truth;
2. signs mask reality: reinforces notion of reality;
3. signs mask the absence of reality;
-Disneyworld
-Watergate
-LA life: jogging,
psychotherapy, organic food
4. signs become simulacra - they have no relation to reality;
they simulate a simulation
-Spinal Tap
-Cheers bars
-new urbanism
-Starbucks
-the Gulf War was a
video game hyperreality: -a condition in which "reality" has been replaced by simulacra
-Borges
-Baudrillard argues that today we only experience prepared realities-- edited war footage,
meaningless acts of terrorism, the Jerry Springer Show The very definition of the real has become: that of which it is possible to give an
equivalent reproduction. . . The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which
is always already reproduced: that is the hyperreal. . . which is entirely in simulation. Illusion is no longer possible, because the real is no longer possible.
Division between "real" and simulation has collapsed

Universities The exchange of signs (of knowledge, of culture) in the university, between
"teachers" and "taught" has for some time been nothing but a doubled
collusion of bitterness and indifference (the indifference of signs that brings with it
the disaffectation of social and human relations), a doubled simulacrum of a psychodrama
(that of a demand hot with shame, presence, oedipal exchange, with pedagogical incest
that strives to substitute itself for the lost exchange of work and knowledge). In
this sense the university remains the site of a desperate initiation to the empty form
of value, and those who have lived there for the past few years are familiar with this
strange work, the true desperation of nonwork, of nonknowledge. Because current
generations still dream of reading, of learning, of competing, but their heart isn't in
it--as a whole the ascetic cultural mentality has run body and possessions together. http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AnS/Anthro/Anth206/jean_baudrillard_and_hyperrealit.htm
Rolling Stone is caught RED-HANDED with a propaganda piece pushing the agenda of Occupy Wall Street, all at the expense of the Oakland Police Dept. The author of the Rolling Stone article Mark Binelli failed to report the truth, further spreading the lie that Scott Olsen was shot by police. Scott Olsen: Casualty of the Occupation
The incident based on facts as follows: The Attack on Scott Olsen at Occupy Oakland - Propaganda or MORE?
This catalyst for a day of strikes in Oakland is really based on an anarchist attacking a Vet. There is no coverage, outrage or apologies to the Oakland Police Dept.

The Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz is relatively unknown outside of academia and policy circles. From Bretton Woods and George Soros to Cooper Union and Barack Obama, this World Banker is part of the roundtable. Meet the person who scripted Occupy Wall Street. What is the agenda of OWS?
Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%
"Americans have been watching protests
against oppressive regimes that concentrate massive wealth in the hands
of an elite few. Yet in our own democracy, 1 percent of the people take
nearly a quarter of the nation’s income—an inequality even the wealthy
will come to regret." (This Vanity Fair Article in May 2011 is a blueprint for arguments to come.)
"Mr. Stiglitz, a former chief economist at the World Bank who spent
time in the White House as an adviser to President Bill Clinton, thinks
he knows the answer. He writes that Mr. Obama surrounded himself with an
economic team whose members -- Ben S. Bernanke, the Federal Reserve
chairman; Timothy F. Geithner, the Treasury secretary; and Lawrence H.
Summers, the director of the National Economic Council -- have been
reluctant to revamp the financial system.
Mr. Stiglitz says that these are some of the same people whose policies brought us the economic collapse of 2008." OFF THE SHELF; What Happened To Regulatory Reform? January 2010
Fannie Freddie 2002 Report- (Changing the Risk Metric) "Since their introduction in 1988, the Basel Accords have gained currency as a framework for prudent risk management for financial institutions. Central to these standards is the idea that capital should protect financial institution solvency against unforeseen, even unlikely, losses. One way to evaluate capital adequacy is to subject the institution to the economic equivalent of an engineering stress test — apply severe and sustained pressure to see whether the entity can withstand the strain. Even the reformed Basel standards do not contemplate stress testing for any of the three common sources of financial institution failure: interest-rate, credit and operations risk — and, indeed, do not include interest rate risk at all. In contrast, Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s risk-based capital requirement subjects the company to a decade-long “nuclearwinter” scenario along the interest-rate and credit risk vectors and adds a 30 percent safety cushion for operations risk. If the company can withstand the rigors of such punishing and rare strain, the likelihood is that its capital is more than adequate to its risk. And the rarer the probability of the scenario, the more likely is the adequacy of the company’s capital. So how rare is the scenario in the test? In 1997, former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker wrote that the possibility of default if Fannie Mae met the test was “remote.” To update that analysis, we commissioned Joseph Stiglitz (2001 Nobel Prize winner in economics), Jonathan Orszag, and Peter Orszag to examine the likelihood of the risk-based capital scenario. Their econometric analysis found that the probability of the stress test scenario is conservatively one in 500,000 and may be smaller than one in three million. As a result, they find that the risk of a default by these companies, if they hold sufficient capital to meet the stress test, is “effectively zero.” "
The conclusion contained this summary of risk (Expand Freddie to profit government as banks were already too big to fail) "First, analysis of the risks posed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must carefully consider the alternatives. In the absence of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, mortgage risk would likely be held by large banks and other types of financial institutions, which themselves benefit from the perception that they are “too big to fail.” Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are among the largest financial institutions in the country. Even in the absence of a GSE charter it is likely that they would continue to benefit from their size, since the government has intervened on behalf of other large institutions in the past.21 Secondly, and more broadly, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would likely require government assistance only in a severe housing market downturn. Such a severe housing downturn would, in turn, likely occur only in the presence of a substantial economic shock. Regardless of the structure of the mortgage market, the government would almost surely be forced to intervene in a variety of markets — including the mortgage market — in such a scenario. Fundamentally, given the public’s aspirations to homeownership and the myriad ways in which government ubsidies are channeled to homeownership, the government is indirectly exposed to risks from the mortgage market regardless of the existence of the GSE"Stiglitz - Orszags - Fannie Freddie-2002 Report
"What's more, he says, Americans need to get over the idea that
higher taxes and more government involvement in the economy are a recipe
for disaster. He points to Sweden as an example of a country that has a
thriving economy but still provides its citizens with extensive social
services.THESE may all be worthy ideas. But at times, Mr. Stiglitz's call
for a new economic order seems a bit fanciful. Can you imagine President
Obama going before the American people and telling them they need to
emulate Sweden? Imagine the fun Glenn Beck would have with that." OFF THE SHELF; What Happened To Regulatory Reform? January 2010

Victoria Sobel at Occupy Wall Street
We connect Joseph Stiglitz to Occupy Wall Street through Cooper Union, where Joseph Stiglitz (alumni) and the first treasurer of OWS attended. Victoria Sobel was a student at the exclusive college where undergrads attend free. Victoria Sobel at Occcupy Wall Street AVAAZ was there to assist her with the large amount of cash donations.
I have tweeted for months about the connections of Ron Paul and the MEME of Anonymous/Guy Fawkes. Paul supporters shared demographics and goals with Occupy Wall Street. The vagueness of the message and circus atmosphere OWS exhibited provided a great distraction from the ANON videos that lay dormant or relatively unviewed on youtube. If we follow the money a connection is easy to find. If I could find it, why couldnt the media or opposition research. That is a concern of a different level for a different day.
First the PAC that works with Ron Paul is Campaign for Liberty. I will enclose a jpeg of two letters. The first will show Ron Paul works with the PAC of C4L. The next jpegs show different levels of coordination with www.moveon.org
Moveon was already very active with Occupy Wall Street so this really got my attention. This is where the numerous amounts of ANON videos that litter the internet will provide us with some more details. Details, like dates.
We see from the CNN video that it is 2007, a year before ANONYMOUS started as "hacktivists" HuffPO Looking a little deeper, we find that C4L was not only youttube savy, but reliant on the leverage it provided. The Anonymous MEME 1.0 I will embed a copy of this video. organized, professional youtubers
So we now know that C4L works with moveon and is the ANON MEME. While Ron Paul was trying to run for President again. MoveON used this chance to win the next election for Barack Obama. Only a Republican arguing for military cuts would be accepted, and finding an anti-wall street Republican candidate was just icing on the cake. Now President Obama could increase social spending without a budget, and the military will take dollar for dollar cuts with an inflated social spending budget. If you are going to decrease spending, increase it first. It is easier that way to get reeclected The memes for Ron Paul werent limited to the left either. The far right had a meme that fit into the Ron Paul 2012 theme also. Target JPMorgan specifically this time.
This also seemed timed with another interesting campaign to target JPMorgan by the Service Employees International Union #SEIU

The production on many of the videos is professional.
The Devil is in the details. The Zeitgeist video signage is missing 99 percent of their argument. Spontaneous? The left really has coordinated well with Ron Paul using Occupy Wall Street. Their goals really are the same. End the Republican Party. Think Global, Act Local.
