Prosecutor, DEA Agent Confirm Intel From Sinaloa Mafia Used to Undermine Juarez, Beltran Leyva Drug Organizations

U.S. government officials have long presented the drug war through the media as a type of "Dirty Harry” movie, in which hardscrabble cops are engaged in a pitched battle with hardened street criminals who threaten the very social fabric of life behind America’s gated communities.

"Money can pass through your hands like water but the land is forever" "What are we going to leave for our children if we don't stand up and fight? This is a fight for survival!"

Of course a big part of decolonization is getting folks to realize that they have inherited a colonial system.

When Albert C. Barnes was born it was not to a upper echelon family, rather a lower middle class family teetering on the brink of poverty in the Phillidephia. He got into college, but had to ring fight in order to pay for his tuition. A bright man he came up with a medical cure while at the university, which stopped an eye disease effecting infants at the time. Having a understanding of progress that the old money in the city did not have access to, he decided to make his fortune grow into something other than power.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Occupy Wall Street movement is a big enough problem for U.S. banks that they should pay for opposition research into the political motives of protesters, said a firm that lobbies for the industry.

Clark Lytle Geduldig & Cranford, a Washington-based firm, proposed the idea in a memo to the American Banking Association, an industry group which said on Saturday that it did not act on the idea.

The four-page memo outlined how the firm could analyze the source of protesters' money, as well as their rhetoric and the backgrounds of protest leaders.

A national group with ties to Homeland Security helped paln the Occupy Oakland busts

As cities across America evict encampments of the Occupy Wall Street movement, similarities of timing, talking points and tactics among major metropolitan mayors and police chiefs have led critics to wonder: Is some sort of national coordination going on?

The White House says there’s no federal oversight. Speaking November 15 aboard Air Force One, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said “The president’s position is that obviously every municipality has to make its own decisions about how to handle these issues.”

(Nov. 18, 2011) Anonymous said today it has hacked the e-mails of a Department of Justice special investigator, which contained messages from ex-wives and girlfriends, and "man seeking woman" responses on Craig's List.

This is a telling glimpse of how disparate the gap is between the top 1 percent and the bottom 99 percent...

If a person earns a million dollars a year, a majority would consider that person to be rich. Even someone who earns $250,000 a year would be considered by most people to be doing really well.

Journalist Luke Rudkowski was attacked by police Wednesday night while trying to document the Occupy Wall Street arrests in NY. NYPD used pepper spray, batons, and brute force to move protesters away from the entrance to Wall Street after many tried to push through police barricades. Rumors immediately circulated that police provocateurs dressed as protesters were to blame for the incident.
