Learniing from Roosevelt
Harry Hopkins, head of the WPA under Roosevelt, created 4 million jobs in two months. How many jobs in journalism, education, health care, bridge repair and community centers could be created with the help of the Internet? Solutions are not lacking, only political will. Sharing and redistribution must replace the myths of the self-healing market and corporate beneficence.

Criticism of Economists
Economists with their models could predict the values of economic variables but did not foresee the greatest economic crisis in 80 years. Neoclassicism is a self-contained theoretical model offering simple answers. Mechanical-deterministic neoclassicism serves the interests of capital and big corporations, well-organized and financed interests.

Occupy Wall Street Unwittingly Stumbles onto Solution to All/Most of our problems!!
The Cause, and solution to "99%" of our problems! :::
The world is being run by BONA-FIDE PSYCHOPATHS!
Thanks 99%!!!
1% of the world is pathological lacking remorse for their evil deeds; politicians & CEOs goodbye!!!

The Occupy Wall Street protesters demanding an end to the reign of the "one per cent" may have unwittingly stumbled on the crux of the issue. Science tells us that 99 per cent of humans have normal emotional function. One per cent are psychopaths. We ignore that truth at our peril.

Video: N17 Afternoon Bank Protest outside of Chase
N17 This is the 6 part video set from the 4Pm Chase Protest in Portland Oregon. This is the one where the police ram their horses into the peaceful crowd (again) who were legally protesting, the police shoved the citizens dangerously into the streets. Then the cops sent in hundreds of ROBO dressed Riot cops ... and yelling over loud speakers for next 30 minutes to "get out of the street"? ...So then (next) they start pepperspraying people and hitting them with sticks (and or jabbing protesters with their sticks)and then they do some more MAJOR blocking the street. Then they (hundreds of police) for no reason (?) leave and everything is peaceful and back to normal.

Occupy Oakland Calls for TOTAL WEST COAST PORT SHUTDOWN ON 12/12
Occupy Oakland calls for the blockade and disruption of the economic apparatus of the 1% with a coordinated shutdown of ports on the entire West Coast on December 12th. The 1% has disrupted the lives of longshoremen and port truckers and the workers who create their wealth, just as coordinated nationwide police attacks have turned our cities into battlegrounds in an effort to disrupt our Occupy movement.

Wells Fargo and Student Loans
Congress has repeatedly exempted the student loan industry from standard consumer protection laws. The result is a predatory lending system that abuses student loan borrowers and co-signers. Wells Fargo is a major player in the student loan industry, offering both Federally-guaranteed and private student loans.

Student Loans Fueling Education Bubble
According to InflationData.com, college tuition has increased 498% in the last 26 years, while overall consumer prices have increased only 115%. So while general prices have only doubled, college tuition is now five times more expensive. The embedded chart presents the same problem with additional data. The student loan industry is not helping students to afford these price increases, because the student loan industry is itself the cause of skyrocketing tuition increases.

I am Not an Idiot
Our entire political system from the politicians, the media and and the people who follow it is idiotic. They are wrong about basic facts of reality. They confuse economics with money & finance. The economy is our resource base, production & consumption, while finance is a system of management, and money is it's primary unit of measure. This system is failing to manage the economy and is why we are having financial crises. Alternatively we are at the greatest economic point in the history of human kind. We have access to more resources, more food production, and most advanced technology ever, yet there's not enough money to take care of everyone on the planet. The problem is money.

Occupy The Courts -- January 20th, 2012
There is a meeting Saturday December 3rd, 2011, from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm at the Capitol Hill library branch at 425 Harvard Ave. E., in Seattle. This meeting is for the demonstration being planned January 20th, 2012; at the Federal Courthouse at 700 Stewart street in Seattle. ( People and organizations involved, permits, porta potties, promotion, organizing, staging, sound, event speakers, entertainment, first aid, water, and stuff.)..(This event is not sponsored by the Seattle public Library. The meeting room holds 50 people and I would love to fill it up! Please inform interested people and organizations!) RSVP to  kennspace@yahoo.com to reserve your spot or just show up!

I have done this before and want to progress this demonstration, - and the reform of our government. (I have done the permits, porta potties and stuff before, but will be looking for someone who lives in Seattle to do this one. It will make more sense to elected officials that a "constituent" Seattle citizen is doing this. I will help pay for things but probably cannot afford to do it all.).

Please help distribute this information to interested groups and people. I feel the unions, democratic party, republican party, churches, student groups, and "others" need to be informed this is happening. Please help communicate this meeting and demonstration in Seattle! If you can get this event posted to any community events calendars - that would help!

This post explains my feelings more:

Thank YOU,

Kenn Dzaman (Kenn Space)

(I have also let as many Washington State lawmakers, the President, and many "others", and the Seattle Police and Washington State Patrol know; That a demonstration is happening January 20th, 2012 at 700 Stewart Street in downtown Seattle. As much as I can make it, it will be peaceful.).

Photos and comments of Occupy Portland, Nov. 12-13
The class war by the 1% against the Occupy movement is in full throttle. Last night, cops raided OWS at Liberty Plaza without warning, attacking protestors with pepper spray and batons. Two days ago (Nov. 13), facing a similar eviction threat from Mayor Adams, it was Occupy Portland in the crosshairs. Other Occupy camps have been brutally attacked in Oakland, Berkeley, Denver, Chapel Hill, and elsewhere. Even as they dismantle the camps, we are not giving up the fight.

The Future of the Social State
The extended family as a kind of "self-help group" replaces the social state in the backward-oriented utopia of liberal-conservatism. Nothing hurts families more than the "rebuilding" or dismantling of the social state and the marketing of interpersonal relations justified with the keywords "globalization" and "location protection."
