Well… sorry I ever defended you. It will not happen again.
“Manufacturing dissent”
In this article, we focus on a related concept, namely the subtle process of “manufacturing dissent” (rather than “consent”), which plays a decisive role in serving the interests of the ruling class.
Under contemporary capitalism, the illusion of democracy must prevail. It is in the interest of the corporate elites to accept dissent and protest as a feature of the system inasmuch as they do not threaten the established social order. The purpose is not to repress dissent, but, on the contrary, to shape and mould the protest movement, to set the outer limits of dissent.
To maintain their legitimacy, the economic elites favor limited and controlled forms of opposition, with a view to preventing the development of radical forms of protest, which might shake the very foundations and institutions of global capitalism. In other words, “manufacturing dissent” acts as a “safety valve”, which protects and sustains the New World Order.
To be effective, however, the process of “manufacturing dissent” must be carefully regulated and monitored by those who are the object of the protest movement.

Just look what happened with Occupy. First it was supported, then it got out of their control and was shut down.
I read what is going on in Syria now. Do you really think it would be different here if Occupy refused to go home?
It aint over here!
Repubs or Dems… MOST all work for the same people, and it is NOT We The People!
There are 24,600 links to “Occupy” articles on Google news in the past 24 hours!
Why is not on the main stream media anymore???!!!
In one word, BLACKOUT by…?
Thousands occupy capitol in budget protest

Sacramento police estimated that about 8,000 people attended to demonstrate. Among them were students from the SMCCD.

THAT CENSOR WILL BE SPREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sad sad sad! occupy g8 is filtered on this “open” site! we supported so much here before! just like the rnc & dnc conventions where so many protesters were beaten and arrested including alternative media and censored in so many places.
Yeah…SAD.
Partisan, not open…
As Occupy New Haven, CT, one of the LAST FEW in the country is fighting for its life!
Thank God it is almost OUR spring!
No wonder so many that supported Dems are turning their backs now…
Mother Jones is a democrat publication supposedly?
When the US Government Can Kill You, Explained
On Monday, the Obama administration explained when it’s allowed to kill you.
Speaking to students and faculty at Northwestern University law school, Attorney General Eric Holder laid out in greater detail than ever before the legal theory behind the administration’s belief that it can kill American citizens suspected of terrorism without charge or trial. In the 5,000-word speech, the nation’s top law enforcement official directly confronted critics who allege that the targeted killing of American citizens violates the Constitution.
These deaths and those to come, Holder insisted Monday, do not represent a violation of America’s founding principles. “This is an indicator of our times,” Holder said, “not a departure from our laws and our values.”

How long before Occupy are deemed “terrorists”? The unemployed?
I said it over there, I’ll say it here too.

The real story of America’s unemployed
In a new video series, “F**ked: The United States of Unemployment,” Salon humanizes our epidemic of joblessness
Before “We are the 99 percent” emerged as a rally cry from Zuccotti Park to the Port of Oakland, another group identified with this number — but for a very different reason. A handful of New Yorkers whose 99 weeks of unemployment benefits had expired were frustrated that political leaders seemed resigned to a future of austerity instead of figuring out how to put Americans back to work. These “99ers” realized that if they wanted to change things, they would need to get organized and fight back.
In “F**ked: The United States of Unemployment” — a new Salon series that will chronicle this important yet largely untold story — Academy Award-nominated director Immy Humes traces the birth and evolution of the 99ers movement.

“ Meet Our 99ers”
Read those few brief listings of skills…
Now multiply that thousands fold.
And add in all the younger generations… And the ones like Anonymous…
Now add in all the talent the Occupy people have…
Put all that together and you will get a glimpse of what the powers that be are so afraid of… Democrats and Republicans alike.
And watch the news laws they are trying (and have) to slip in the MSM never mentions….
How goes the battle? I see censoring is going on! We dont have much to post on this bill, Our hope is to keep the 99ers story alive, Via Occupy? well so be it, Let the string carry on OC, I still Love ya Was!
I love you too funny face :)
Censorship is high on my list of evil things…
Occupy 2.0 is in full gear now after learning much from the initial battles.
I see the biggest hurdle now is what I said here before, to get more people to get out of that stupid left vs right paradigm and realize we are all We The People, and it will take all of us united to take our country back from those that bought it…
Anyways… Those sites I frequent that some call “right wing”, when they really are not at all in reality, but are about learning the truth, and preparing for the storm, have views and memberships going off the charts now.
Once this election really gets going will be REALLY interesting, I predict…
We The People are waking up all over…
Wow not much chatter here?? I used to make 30 dollars an hour, Now that I have had to learn to live on nothing, When they are begging for people with my skills Im thinking 230 per hour, Wont work for friggin penny less, I hope all of us skilled workers have the same attitude, They ripped me off for 4 years and it will cost a pretty penny to enjoy my skills again.
Hey I know how to live on nothing now! Why would I work?? 230.00 and hour may work =)
Screw the rich let them do my job!
What did you do worth $230 per hour?
Never mind, I don’t want to know :)
@Wont work for friggin penny less, I hope all of us skilled workers have the same attitude
I know a army that is now chomping at the bit, and working for free. They are even paying out of their own pockets…
I can’t believe after all this time it ended up being just you and I posting here! :P

Spam again?
OK………
I guess telling about the three 99ers I met today is now “spam” here…
Weird isnt it =D I hate to say it but I have pretty much given up, On the Government, Both partys are hell bent on destruction.
I am currently getting paid to live where I am (sweet) and soon I will have a income that is uninterrupted. So I am thinking of retirement, It isnt much but I have been living on a hell of alot less the last few years.
Say what happened to the view counter here?

This old warrior can’t give up yet, but I found my ways to survive too.
The view counter has been on the overview tab for a long time now…
Someone still reads here.
@Weird… It looks like you cant copy anything to post it here now.
Why?
Whatever…

I can be found on the Washington Watch site…
Hi everyone,
What’s going on with the “spam” label here. And whatever is being labeled “spam”—is it any post with links? Or long text from other sites? All sites are able to quote short passages, as long as credit is given.
I noticed a while ago that there were lots of posts in the blog comments for selling stuff, unrelated to the subject at hand. Is someone going overboard with the filter? Try using the Textile formatting thing they have here, see if it makes any difference. Just curious.
So OC has killed this string, Sorry, Hey here it is one day after the anniversary of Waco and not one mention anywhere in the news, Hundreds of innocent Men Women and children Died on April 19th in both Waco and the federal building. And the ruling 1% have silenced they’re cries for justice!
Great job MURDERING Sorry we dont plan on dieing.
I came across this on FOX news,
