It is Fall in North Carolina

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

Though there is a lot of things going on through-out the world it was a great day to spend wife my wife.

Enjoying the morning, together and the afternoon and evening outside fixing up things around the house or just walking around the property.

The weather was so nice outside, near 70F, not much on the way of wind and sunny. All and all a great day.

The last four days have been filled with flying and working on my ebook, which learning the design part with the HTML5 and CSS3 kicks my butt at times it is all good. I have not had much time to stay on top of things but this is one really worth looking into.

I do have this one bit of great info, it is from the Occupy Wall Street it call Occupy the Board Room

Though you can’t see the executives email address, which rightly done you can email any one of the ones you want. Here is a snap shot of the page  I love the Pen Pals of BFF option, classy.

News Coverage with Truth

Sunday, October 16th, 2011

Speaking out, voicing ones opinion seems to escape corporate news media, where their views are governed by corporate greed, expense accounts and control.

I have seen 2 reporter that have step out of that world reporting news and information others don’t want to say and you to know.

Keith Olbermann and John Stewart here are to clips that should be viewed first John Stewart’s clip from the Daily Show.

then since no one else has read it, or published it except on the Occupy Wall Street website Keith Olbermann from the Countdown steps up and reads the first collective statement of Occupy Wall Street.

Take the time to educate yourself, understand what is going on, how it has been effecting your life and how it will effect your life.

Here is another moment that my wife happy has posted to me and in Facebook, I am thankful someone in mainstream media got mad enough to say what he said during his show. Dylan Ratigan from MSNBC and The Dylan Ratigan Show, I am wondering if he will have a job much longer after speaking his mind and the truth.

There is a site Get Money Out I am not sure if it is Dylan site or not but it is about getting the money out of government.

It is nice to see, Reporters stepping up and reporting.

 

 

 

Stepping up to the Plate

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

My wife Kim who has been following more of the Good (people of Occupy Wall Street) and the Bad (the police of New York City) and the Ugly (Politicians like Mayor Bloomberg, and others in Washington who are shutting there eyes to this, and yes I do mean you Mr. President) than I have been able to keep up with.

She showed me a great video, some say the most powerful #Occupy Wall Street clip made. I tend to agree the video clip, it first shows Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton and then President Barack Obama in a huge state of

hypocrisy |hiˈpäkrisē| noun ( pl. hypocrisies ) the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform; pretense.

they are acting

hypocritical |ˌhipəˈkritikəl| adjective behaving in a way that suggests one has higher standards or more noble beliefs than is the case

and have become a

hypocrite |ˈhipəˌkrit| noun a person who indulges in hypocrisy.

Now watch the video

I for one am calling on both The President Barack Obama and the Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton to act in the same aggressive mannerism that they portray against other countries in denouncing the tactics of the goverment against the people.

People who willingly and peaceably are choosing to lawful assembly to voice the views of the #99 %

I have been more amazed at Washington’s lack of intervention but really not surprised by their actions. Or by their lack of actions and the media lack of coverage. Really where are the news reporters who say the cover the news.

Reporters like Anderson Copper are surprisingly absent from Occupy Wall Street, yet him like so many others talk about topics like Bully it Stops Here. As seen from his blog AC 360 and he will be doing a Town Hall Meeting on Friday 14 October 2011.

Really!! Anderson a town hall meeting, Seriously!! and you are talking about the wrong Bullying.

You need to be addressing NYC Mayor Bloomberg and the NYC Police Department.

You and all of those other so called News Reporters who say that they are keeping them honest and reporting REAL news, need to get you butt down to Wall Street  and report and show REAL news, show what really has been going on by the government and BIG BUSINESS.

I dare you to stand up and be part of the 99%.

To be there tomorrow morning in just 7 hours when Mayor Bloomberg is going to try and forcibly remove the #Occupy Wall Street by cleaning the park. To capture the real stories, the real people.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

According to several articles this is not the first time the Mayor has tried doing this to remove people. I will bet dollars to donuts that after the so-called clean up in the park there will be hundreds of new signs proclaiming dozens of new rules so that they can legally arrest the free citizens of Occupy Wall Street.

Read the article on occupywallst, the NYC Mayor’s office and the NYC Police Department should by all right be taken to and held at Rikers Island. For the crimes that they are committing against the citizens of this country.

They have not and sadly it seems to continue this blatant

blatant |ˈblātnt| adjective (of bad behavior) done openly and unashamedly: blatant lies

completely lacking in subtlety; very obvious

criminal behavior.

Yet their actions are going unquestioned by the Media and the Government, it is time to stand, walk, ride to your nearest Occupy and demand action. Take your cameras, your video equipment and do what this generation like to do best take lots of pictures and videos and post them on every site you can think of. Show the world and your fellow citizens that the 99% has a voice.

 

Backing the 99%

Saturday, October 8th, 2011

It been a beautiful autumn day here in Asheville, while I was out working in the yard that Kim and I were able to purchase. I was thinking about the craziness that we have had to go through with this house, which has been a joy for us to learn and experience together. How having to deal with lawyers (a few have just been fantastic with us) and other banking and mortgage companies, and all the different people involved in this in one way or another.

Which lead me to, Why government officials are not backing and why they should be backing the Occupy Wall Street and the 99%.

First before I go on talking, please go to occupywallst.org to see, read, participate and donate to the Occupy Wall Street

Right Here All Over (Occupy Wall St.) from Alex Mallis on Vimeo.

Also check out Who we are

We as the 99% put those elected officials in office and they are suppose to be working for us the 99%, though I know most if not all elected officials have forgotten that point.

We the 99% elected them, they did not elect themselves and this is not suppose to be and was never intended to be the self serving government that it has become.

As with banks, fees fees and more fees, Really! Wednesday at the Washington Ideas Forum, B of A CEO Brian Moynihan told CNBC’s Larry Kudlow that banks have a inherent right to make a profit.

Excerpt from an article in Chicago Tribune published on 06 October 2011.

Bank of America’s CEO defended his bank’s new $5 fee on debit cards on Wednesday, saying that customers and shareholders understand the bank has a “right to make a profit.”

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan defended the move, which the bank announced last week in response to new caps on debit card swipe fees that the banks charge retailers.

Really so you won’t be making as much of a profit, wait a minute CEO Brian Moyniham but you will be making a profit “your inherent right to make a profit” just not as big.

Greed seems to have gotten to them were a $500 million profit isn’t good enough any more they need $1 billion, come on since when.

I have been wondering for some time when that changed, before it was okay to make a profit, no matter how large or how small. Yet for the past decade or more it wasn’t okay to make a profit it had to be a huge profit, plus these profits had to meet or exceed market projections. If they didn’t the “investors” looked down on them and sold off stocks.

I remember just a little while ago Google didn’t meet market projections and the back lash they took from the stock market, but wait a minute they made a huge profit, just a few cents off market projections so they shouldn’t have had that kind of reaction from the stock market. Yet right before the report came out Google announced it was adding a 1000 plus jobs.

You wouldn’t think that taking such a step and making that kind of announcement would hurt especially with millions in profit per quarter again. Wrong “Investors” want you to exceed market projections at the same time either keep employees at the same level or reduce employees.

Not make a profit and add employees, to the “Investors” this is bad.

Don’t believe me watch any news about any company that through corporate restructure, layoffs, bankruptcy, or any other way a corporation choose to get rid of it’s employees, 9 times out of 10 their stocks will go up, for a day, a week, or till the next quarterly report is posted.

I have never understood that kind of logic from “the investor” or the “hedge fund manager” but it happens all the time.

So stand up, read, get information, change, grow, send positive energy, be thankful, be happy, be apart of our world, our government, and OUR future.
