#OWS Police Beating Students At Berkeley & SHOCKING VIDEO!#@!! Ann Coulter & Fox News Defend 1970 Kent State Killings Occupy Protesters Are Demonic and Should Be Shot!


The Occupy movement has spread across Canada including the local area here in Nova Scotia . The protesters set up camp a few weeks ago on the Grand Parade in Halifax the capital of the province of Nova Scotia.
They agreed to vacate the Grand Parade and move to another area in respect of Remembrance Day ceremonies that would be held at the Cenotaph in the Grand Parade.
They move to Victoria Park and set up their tents there.
They were told or left with the impression that after Remembrance Day November 11 they would either re-occupy the Grand Parade or some other site agreed upon by the protesters and the Mayor of Halifax Peter Kelly.
This is not how it went down.
Mayor Peter Kelly decided to remove the protesters from their site at Victoria Park on Remembrance Day without much discussion or consultation  or a timely warning to move.
Up to till Novemeber 11 the OccupNS protesters were peaceful and were seen as maybe annoying to some but there were no major complaints about the protesters encampment.

OccupyNS arrest: "I think he can still breathe, officer".

What is disturbing besides the rough handling by the Halifax Police  is that the mayor of Halifax waited to evict these protesters on Nov. 11 Remembrance -a day that honors Canadian troops who took part in conflicts supposedly in defense of out liberties and freedom-freedom of speech freedom of assembly the freedom of dissent-so the mayor has stepped in it by choosing Nov. 11 rather than waiting.

 The protesters believed that they had a deal with the city in which the protesters left the park that is the Grand Parade which has the Cenotaph where memorial ceremonies would be held for Remembrance Day Nov. 11 -they therefore previous to that date moved to another city park Victoria Park -after that move the protesters believed that they would enter into more discussions with the mayor. Instead the mayor decided to oust them on Remembrance/Memorial Day.
Besides that it was Remembrance day the police action took place but to add insult to injury it was being done during a rain storm.
The police were rougher on protesters than they should have been.
The only positive sign is that the story was picked up not just on the local news but by the Mainstream National News networks as well.
Part of the reason for National interests was because of the timing that is on Remembrance day.

Thom Hartmann On The Police Brutality Exhibited at Occupy Protest at Berkeley and at other Occupy Protests.

From: TheBigPictureRT | Nov 11, 2011 | 280 views
Joshua Holland, AlterNet & Yvette Felarca, Participant-Occupy Cal (Berkeley) & Sarah Seltzer, Alternet all join Thom Hartmann. A new video of police brutality at another 99 percent protest in California has surfaced. And we'll be joined by a patriot who was caught in the middle of it all. More video surfaced today of police brutality against peaceful patriots. Those were young women in the crowd who were having nights stick violently shoved into their stomachs. Meanwhile in Oakland - where police brutality was taken to another level two weeks ago when two-time Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen was critically injured and sustained brain damage after police fired a tear gas canister into his head - there are fears that another violent police crackdown could be looming. Yesterday - members of the city council - joined by the local chamber of commerce - held a press briefing - bashing the Occupy Oakland movement - and calling for it to be broken up immediately. With all the violent police action against American patriots who are exercising their first amendment rights around the nation - sadly - Thomas Jefferson is rolling in his grave




Ann Coulter and the Fox Gang will be gleeful since they are calling for just shooting as many protesters as it takes to put an end to this Movement  and shoot them all if necessary .


So I was working on this post on Wednesday to answer Ann Coulter and Fox News Channel's call for the police to use a get tough policy with the OWS protesters that is show no mercy beat them and kill a few. Ann Coulter refers to the killings at Kent State in 1970 by the National Guard as righteous and justified to stop the mob. In her view the anti-war movement was just another violent UnAmerican Mob and deserve what they got.
So now she and Fox News are calling for the use of live rounds on protesters and more beatings and arrest.


Oh no not more of Ann Coulter
She believes that the students killed at kent State even those who had nothing to do with the protest deserved to die.
So she must also agree that when in her words Blacks were protesting in the South that they too deserved to be beaten up and killed.
And what about the Tea Party mobs oh yes they are on the right and therefore cannot by definition ever constitute a mob.
And when the Chicago police ran amok at the Democratic Convention that too was OK because the protesters were on the left.
and what about the mob that took part in the original Boston Tea Party or the various other mobs who protested against British rule prior to the Boston tea Party
And what about the mobs that gather outside abortion clinics who don't just stand around but will attack cars or the medical staff and the patients calling them evil, demonic, murderers , whores , sluts etc.
And what about those anti-abortionist who blow up abortion clinics or murder the doctors or other members of the staff -as she once quiped Dr. George Tiller who was murdered in his church by an anti-abortionists she said he was aborted post birth-real funny ann.

Rightwing pundits compete to say the most shocking, pejorative, divisive thing they can, while screaming division is sown by liberals.

 Ellen Brown at Truthout makes a bold proposal for an economic Bill of rights to be added to America's first Bill of Rights. And she suggests one way of helping American citizens would be to introduce a bill like the GI Bill which was introduced after WWII and which has been a success story.

Now Is the Time for an Economic Bill of Rights
 by: Ellen Brown, Truthout, November 11, 2011


...A Vision for Tomorrow
In his first inaugural address in 1933, Roosevelt criticized the sort of near-sighted Wall Street greed that precipitated the Great Depression. He said, "They only know the rules of a generation of self-seekers. They have no vision, and where there is no vision the people perish."
Roosevelt's own vision reached its sharpest focus in 1944, when he called for a Second Bill of Rights. He said:
This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights.... They were our rights to life and liberty.
As our nation has grown in size and stature, however - as our industrial economy expanded - these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness.
He then enumerated the economic rights he thought needed to be added to the Bill of Rights. They included:
The right to a job;
The right to earn enough to pay for food and clothing;
The right of businessmen to be free of unfair competition and domination by monopolies;
The right to a decent home;
The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
The right to a good education.
...After World War II, the GI Bill provided returning servicemen with free college tuition, as well as cheap home loans and business loans. It was called "the GI Bill of Rights." Studies have shown that the GI Bill paid for itself seven times over and is one of the most lucrative investments the government ever made.
The government could do that again - without increasing taxes or the federal debt. It could do it by recovering the power to create money from Wall Street and the financial services industry, which now claim a whopping 40 percent of everything we buy.

The Mainstream media and those in authority try to smear the occupy movement in any way they can.
So a shooting which took place near the Occupy Oakland site is seen as connected to the movement while the shooting appears to be possibly gang related or some personal confrontation which just happened near the Occupy site.

Occupy Oakland Reacts to Thursday's Violence in Ogawa Plaza by: Eric K. Arnold, Oakland Local via Truthout.org, November 11, 2011

as one protester summing up the incident observed :

“I think it’s ridiculous how there’s so much police here, all this media coverage, just because it’s in front of Occupy Oakland,” said Marsha, a single mother and encampment resident, who declined to give her last name.
Had the shooting happened down the street, “Maybe it would have been on the news, but there wouldn’t have been so much attention on it,” she said.
“Only because it’s in Occupy Oakland, they’re making a big deal out of it," Marsha continued. "We already have a bad rep over here about the violence. For someone to get killed in front of Occupy Oakland, it’s all bad. They’re gonna shut it down tonight, I‘m pretty sure, and we won’t be able to come back.” The act of violence, she added, “defeats the whole purpose why we’re out here.”
Khalid Shakur, one of the most visible occupiers over the past month, emphasized that there was “absolutely no connection between the fight and what the Occupy/Decolonize movement is built on or trying to establish.


New York Post continues with the mainstream media's smear campaign against the Occupy Movement .

NY Post’s new, crazy OWS smear by justin Elliott at Salon.com,November 11, 2011

Despite utter lack of evidence, Murdoch's paper claims demonstrators vandalized the new 9/11 memorial
...The 9/11 memorial is just a few blocks from Zuccotti Park, the heart of the Occupy Wall Street, and this latest outrage is certainly in keeping with the Post’s description of the park as “a sliver of madness, rife with sex attacks, robberies and vigilante justice.”
But it’s not until 11 paragraphs later, by which time most people have probably stopped reading, that the Post offers the full reveal:

The detectives, who began working cases at the park two weeks ago, are also investigating two acts of vandalism on the 9/11 Memorial.
In the first, a heart was etched near a name on the bronze memorial. Cops suspect the perpetrator may have been a family member of a victim.
And last week, a drawing of a skull was found on the memorial. Both marks were removed.
So there were two incidents of vandalism. In one case, by the Post’s own admission, a 9/11 family member is suspected of being responsible. In the other, no one appears to know what happened. That’s it. To link a crime like this to Occupy protesters without evidence is not only comically irresponsible journalism, it basically defines libel.

at Berkley just one day after the occupation by protesters began the police resorted to the use of unnecessary brutality.
And it appears after the police beat students they didn't bother to ensure the injured were taken care of.
Does this mean that US authorities will follow Bahrain's lead by criticizing or even laying charges against any medical personnel who give medical aid to the Occupy protesters beaten by the police.
In the view of many authorities and most of the Mainstream Media these Occupy protesters are UnAmerican therefore anti-American and therefore an enemy ensconced fifth coulumn in the USA possibly in league with the Terrorists.
