AS WE SHARE THE NEWS FROM THE FRONT LINES ARE WE GETTING THE BIGGEST BANG FOR EFFORTS?
Is anyone keeping score in the overall battle between Occupiers and Anonymous as to whom is winning in this world-wide war on corruption?
The Occupy Wall Street movement continues to grow and has now spread across the world, motivating thousands to voice their anger at financial and social inequality, and in some places merging with existing anti-government protests. Enters A Form of SWAT!
Dozens of cops equipped with shotguns and assault rifles stormed a Miami, Florida apartment building on Tuesday, drawing weapons at peaceful protesters and children with the local Occupy Wall Street campaign that were lawfully residing inside.
Members of Occupy Miami moved into an Overtown safehouse last month after their previous encampment outside of the city’s Government Center was shut down by authorities earlier this year. Now for the second time in only six weeks, cops donned in SWAT-team style gear and brandishing weapons swarmed the residence of several occupiers again, allegedly acting on reports that the residents inside were stockpiling weapons to use in an upcoming demonstration.
“They said that they had gotten a tip that we had ‘long guns’ and were going to use them at our protest,” Occupy member Thomas Parisi tells the Miami New Times. “But we are a peaceful movement and told them that we had no intention of doing anything like that.”
Following the shut-down of the Occupy Miami encampment on January 31,members began living in an apartment building owned by a fellow protester. Rodrigo Duque, who now calls himself Señor Paz — or “Mister Peace” — told the Miami New Times last month that he opened the doors of his building to those who were evicted from the outdoor demonstration and told the paper, “Basically, all peaceful people are welcome.” “They were pointing guns at children!” Ramy Mahmoud, a member of Occupy Miami, adds to the paper.
Other Occupy Miami members gave quotes to the paper without attribution say at least six cop cars stopped outside of their building on Tuesday before one officer took out a gun and aimed it at an occupier. “I thought it was either a joke or he was robbing us,” one protester tells the paper. “Then an ice-cream truck full of SWAT officers pulled up.”
Parisi, who believes the raid came over false reports of a terrorist threat, says the cops took unnecessary action during this week’s events. “They forced a 57-year-old diabetic woman onto the ground. And they pointed their guns at my wife,” he says.
“They are calling us terrorists, but what I saw today was demons pointing guns at us,” Ramy Mahmoud adds to the account. “They terrified us.”
Ourword5: I’ll again suggest that one of the best ways to win in a meaningful way would be to adopt and incorporate the same power being used by your opponents. It’s that power invoked by everyone who wins in today’s world. It’s the power used by states in this country to force every American to pay for something that will never work. And what’s that power? LAW.

Proving you’re not a threat will only work so long. The weapons deal for the big contractors will go on regardless the need for peace unless we rendered useless the governments harassing for use of these weapons.
We’ll be seeing more use of force for the simple fact our government is totally corrupt and requires mass violence from countless wrong doings at this time just to cover up the present day corruption had now. Make the governments weapon LAW yours as part of the battle.
1 A most basic understanding is that in war you divide to conquer. America is divided.
2. The division of government that makes states find their own money to cover expense is abused by the states using law to promote personal gain by state employees.
3. The higher levels of government which began its own abuse is as in bad a condition, as are the states. The governmental beast will grow to self promoted preservation and the states will follow. Locked in.
4. Acting now with legal actions presented here and others could bring about a significant difference to our future. We complaint about corruption, corporate and political. We understand that through corruption some of what is claimed profits are nothing more than huge scams which have robbed the average American of everything and by further corruption never brought to light.
Civil Rights Attorney Needed: For legal actions to recover extorted awards and work on investments for the advancements of the OWS Movement to secure a better future for everyone.
Hundreds of millions of dollars belonging to my family is being extorted even as I write this. By agreements of court judges our won and settled awards are being withheld. The plot and all facts suggest we were to be used by the state to collect awards and just left to die without ever having any legal relief granted.
Public opinion is a weighting factor. A trip to the U.S. supreme court in an open public action should yield results. I would say however, it’s hard to understand why any sound-minded lawyer wouldn’t want this cause. It’s already a won case.There is another possibility, at this point however, could this have something to do with the Whitehouse ?
