 An Injunction Against the Truth[SIDEBAR: What is IT that manufactures IT, 'money' that then can purchase whatever IT decides to in Earth World CXXI?We humans, Homo Sapiens, people wandering as tribes in earth planet are controlled 24/7, by those that have decided the apartheid of chosen 'others' than the same species (?huh), is labeled to be worshiped and/or killed.Those that 'have' and those that 'have NOT'. The knowing know WHO the different living organisms in earth are.JUSTICE IN AMERICA is the court system insuring the so called retirement portfolios of the CHOSEN are well managed and maintained.There were websites (maybe still are?) that said the ENVY OF THE WORLD, USA COURTS.

In four hours, Cabot called several witnesses—employees, security personnel, and subcontractors—to testify they saw her trespassing.
They claimed her presence presented safety risks. “What we’ve seen is an increase in frequency and also the number of visitors she is putting in harm’s way,” Cabot’s George Stark had told Staci Wilson of the Susquehanna County Independent.
The banksters have launched a new offensive in their never ending quest to get the rest of society to pay for the crisis they created and capitulate to a life of debt slavery.
It began with JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon participating in a one on one interview appropriately located at Neoliberal dream factory the Council On Foreign Relations in D.C.
Dimon claimed he did the Federal Reserve a favor by taking over Bear Stearns (at $2 a share) and that JP Morgan was expanding its business operations, including a recent move into Africa highlighting JP Morgan’s relationship with the energy industry (what could go wrong?). FYI, that means we now have a stronger “American Interest” there so defense cuts will have to wait.
The next day Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein appeared with Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson – namesakes of the commission whose recommendation was to cut taxes for the rich yet again while forcing austerity on the 99% – to paint President Obama’s positions on the economy as the opposite “extreme” of the Republican position. Therefore of course Blankfein called for “compromise” between those “extremes.”

So the banksters are not content to bribe Congress and throw money at both “extremists” running for President, they also want to set the terms of the debate for whomever wins – austerity for the poor, socialism for Wall Street. And hey, if the Federal Reserve makes you take a company for $2 a share then gives you endless loans while you get TARP from Congress, well somehow you have to find a way to make it through the day.
Guys, you aren’t fooling anyone with your phony patriotism and crocodile tears.
When Occupy called for transparency this wasn’t exactly the goal…
Occupy Retrospection: What Have We Learned?
“Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” – Frederick Douglass
It has been over a year since Americans took to the streets to voice opposition to the established order – in all that vague glory. Many were disgusted by Wall Street’s numerous crimes and a lack of accountability from a corrupt government, others with a poor job market, and some did not even know why they were protesting but for a deep intuitive sense that something was wrong.
So after a year what have we all learned? Five lessons from the Occupy Wall Street movement (feel free to add your own).
Lesson #1 America Is Extremely Unequal
America has always had rich and poor, fat cats and starving dogs, but by 2012 the gap between the rich and everyone else had yawned to levels unseen in generations.
From Forbes:
The average annual income of the top 1 percent of the population is $717,000, compared to the average income of the rest of the population, which is around $51,000. The real disparity between the classes isn’t in income, however, but in net value: The 1 percent are worth about $8.4 million, or 70 times the worth of the lower classes.
The 1 percent are executives, doctors, lawyers and politicians, among other things. Within this group of people is an even smaller and wealthier subset of people, 1 percent of the top, or .01 percent of the entire nation. Those people have incomes of over $27 million, or roughly 540 times the national average income. Altogether, the top 1 percent control 43 percent of the wealth in the nation; the next 4 percent control an additional 29 percent.
So the Top 5% control roughly 72% of the nation’s wealth.It’s historically common for a powerful minority to control a majority of finances, but Americans haven’t seen a disparity this wide since before the Great Depression — and it keeps growing.
To dice it down even further, the top 400 richest Americans have more wealth than the bottom half – 155 million – Americans combined.
Dice it further? Fine. Six members of one family – the Waltons – have more wealth than the bottom 30% of Americans.
This is extreme inequality by any measure and only getting worse as – according to the Federal Reserve – the only class of Americans to increase their wealth post-crash has been the top 1%.
Lesson #2 Property Rights, For Some

America isn't a United States of People Who are well educated, well informed and well respected in our Bill of Rights'. The DIGITAL STUPIDITY OWNS USA, meaning digits are electronic units and pay for the inside structure of institutionalized FRAUD to destroy the United States of America
