First, an an introduction, learn how GOP-Congress makes it's money...
Recently, Jon Stewart mocked Congress for their in your face hypocrisy...
And...
How do you distract people from the fact that you're making money off of their misery?... and are engaged in activities that led to economic disaster? Answer: You blame a scapegoat.
Scapegoat: Occupy Wall Street
From The Guardian: The shocking truth about the crackdown on Occupy "No 3 was the most clarifying: draft laws against the little-known loophole that currently allows members of Congress to pass legislation affecting Delaware-based corporations in which they themselves are investors."
The truth about violence at Occupy
In Oakland, the camp coincided with a significant drop in crime. But that wasn't the story we were told
The
most important direct violence Occupy faced was, of course, from the
state, in the form of the police using maximum sub-lethal force on
sleepers in tents, mothers with children, unarmed pedestrians, young
women already penned up, unresisting seated students, poets, professors,pregnant women, wheelchair-bound occupiers and octogenarians. It has been a sustained campaign of police brutality from Wall Street to Washington State the likes of which we haven’t seen in 40 years.
But
it all began with the fountain pens, slashing through peoples’ lives,
through national and international economies, through the global
markets. These were wielded by the banksters, the “vampire squid,” the deregulators in D.C., the men — and with the rarest of exceptions they were men — who stole the world.
That’s
what Occupy came together to oppose, the grandest violence by scale,
the least obvious by impact. No one on Wall Street ever had to get his
suit besmirched by carrying out a foreclosure eviction himself. Cities provided that service for free to the banks (thereby further impoverishing themselves as they created new paupers out of old taxpayers). And the police clubbed their opponents for them, over and over, everywhere across the United States.
The
grand thieves invented ever more ingenious methods, including those
sliced and diced derivatives, to crush the hopes and livelihoods of the
many. This is the terrible violence that Occupy was formed to oppose.
Don’t ever lose sight of that.
The above image is from her... "The Senate Banking Committee quizzes JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on the efficacy of Dodd-Frank and measures he would take to prevent future catastrophic bank losses"
Moment Of Zen On Congress (i.e. intentionally messing up the Governmental structure written in the US Constitution that was designed for "We The People" by spending money on bad investments - Congress is EXTREMELY corrupt and Obama refuses to investigate anyone but Florida over "Non-Us Citizens"!!!)1. "Long before the meltdown, one woman tried to warn about a threat to the financial system..." - 29 minutes 10 seconds- "this deregulated market is part of the reason we are having this boom" Alan Greenspan
2. (see 1 minute 30 seconds into video: Paulson requires no oversight or accountability from Congress)
3. Then Congress did some grandstanding while they didn't even attach requirements to the money they gave in the bail outs...
A Bloomberg report reveals that the U.S. government loaned banks $7.7 trillion in secret bailout funds at no interest and then borrowed the money back at interest.
The Bloomberg Report referred to above: Secret Fed Loans Gave Banks $13 Billion Undisclosed to Congress
The Monsanto Protection Act shows that the laws of the most powerful nation on Earth are written with the same level of accountability as Internet comments...
"Let the record show that on January 16, 2012, the good people of South Carolina booed the Golden Rule." ― Jon Stewart. Indecision 2012
Notice that the rhetoric the GOP is using (at 3 mins and 15 secs -approx) is towards creating civil war while basic moral values such as "The Golden Rule" is being booed. This sort of crazy behavior is basically "Tea Party". The Tea Party is funded by the Koch Brothers and Newt Gingrich helped create it (It used to be Ron Pau's but it isn't anymore).
Another example of creating fear through paranoia: Whistling to set off a nuclear bomb (from a movie? I remember this scene) ...and getting solitary confinement (unusually harsh and nonsensical punicshment cause if that's possible we have a bigger problem than this one guy).
