All in a days work
Tulelake, CA— EDITORIAL: There comes a time when facebook is not an end to a means. It is rather a way to communicate and get your daily thoughts to be shared with others. Grant you there are going to be disagreements about the topic at hand or the latest picture of that cute baby in its purest form.
Facebook comes with its up and downs as people try to share what is going on in their daily lives that they feel it is so important they want others to know what they are doing hoping someone will notice and make a comment or like the latest picture they have just uploaded.
With FaceBook comes its up and downs. There are people who are there to share the daily journals about how life is treating them. Then there are others who have another thing in mind and that is to educate as many people as they can about the ills of this life and wanting to make a difference even if it means they are one in a crowd of many. To make their mark on what their philosophical points of views are. Not everyone is going to agree with them. So they will lose a few friends off of their friends list because their opinion don’t agree with others.
So what is the first thing they do, they defriend you because they do not agree with your opinion but for every friend that removes you off your list there are friends out there with others waiting in the wings to want to be added to your friends list. All that has been lost is a person who is too childish to accept things as they are not as they should be in their opinion or point of views.
That is their loss as they may have learned something they have now lost by removing you from their friends list. It is their loss not yours and more power to them. If they were not strong enough to deal with other points of view it says more about them, than you. They lose and you win, and thank God they are gone and good riddance as you didn’t need them, they needed you.
Communications is the key and cowards always exit stage Right when the going gets rough and they cannot handle the truth, not only about themselves; but also in society in general. It’s their loss not yours. For every friend you lose, you gain 15 new friends that are more than willing to take their place.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN :)

San Diego Riot Police Clearing Tents
San Diego— Early this morning San Diego Riot Police Clearing Tents in San Diego. The Police began moving in to remove the tents as they backed the occupiers down the street. The San Diego Police Officers moved forward in their advance while being in full riot gear.
It is now just a little after 4 am as this report is being written. The police always attack in the early morning hours so that the lighten conditions are more difficult to get video coverage of the attacks.
Carried live on http://www.livestream.com/globalrevolution by those on the scene with the cameras. One video camera man was arrested for taking video and his camera was knocked to the ground. As the camera lied on the ground sound could be heard coming from the camera until one of the officers picked it up and turned it off.
Now we are waiting for another occupier to come on live stream with a different angel by finding a live spot in-order to broadcast on http://www.livestream.com/occupysandiegolivefeed
It is like a war zone, and one of the comments is, “We are not going any where, we are staying right here.” Right footage that was shot early is being rebroadcast of the events earlier. They are video taping the officers badges and names on their shirts. Another comment was made, “You don’t have to attack the American People.” The San Diego Police are moving occupiers past the property line they are pushing them back.
“We are live, we are broadcasting live, and you are being broadcast by New York Live. They think they are in war that’s what is going on, a protested stated. And another is stating, “You are violating my constitutional rights, you are committing a crime.”
As the cameramen asks the officer if he can see his name on his shirt so that it can be broadcast for all to see. The cameraman is video taping the police officers names and badge number for the entire world to see. The SDPD have blocked off all of C Street.
Now they are retreating backwards away from the occupiers as the Police distance themselves from the occupiers. They are doing it in a staggered motion. They are moving fifty feet at a time backwards. The San Diego Police are continuing to move backwards away from the occupiers.
These are peaceful protesters who have no weapons and are being confronted by the SDPD who are in full armor and facemasks with Billy clubs in their hands. Now the cameraman is being arrested as his camera lays on the ground as the sound can be heard until one of the SDPD Officers picks it up and turns it up right and turns if off. “Spread the word, this is a free country, it’s not American” can be heard as the camera goes black as the occupiers can be heard being arrested. End of video feed.

Mayor Jean Quan’s Statement to Occupy Oakland
Oakland— I had hoped to speak directly to you tonight. I was told that I could speak at the Speak Out at 6pm, but that was cancelled. So I apologize for providing these remarks in written form.
I am deeply saddened about the outcome on Tuesday. It was not what anyone hoped for, ultimately it was my responsibility, and I apologize for what happened. Today I visited Scott Olsen and his parents because I was concerned about his recovery. And I hope we will keep the mall in our prayers.
We have started an investigation into the use of force, including tear gas, on Tuesday. I cannot change the past, but I want to work with you to ensure that this remains peaceful moving forward.
When there’s violence, there are no winners – it polarizes us and opens old wounds rather than brings us together, which is the aim of Occupy Wall Street and uniting the 99%.
We are a nation in crisis. Oakland more than most cities faces budget cuts, unemployment and foreclosures. We are also a Progressive city. And as a long-time civil rights activist and union organizer I want my City to support the movement.
Thank you for last night’s peaceful protest. I will continue to order a minimal police presence. I need you to maintain a nonviolent attitude towards people, business owners, and homeowners around City Hall. I hope you will consider starting a dialogue with the small businesses around City Hall that you impact.
We pledge to work with Occupy Oakland and Occupy Wall Street, but we need to ask for four things:
1) We understand that some members of Occupy Oakland want to meet with me and Chief Jordan. We agree. We need to have direct communications between city staff and your representatives.
2) We need you to maintain healthy and safe conditions where you gather.
3) We need our public safety employees to have access when there is an emergency.
4) We are asking you not to camp overnight. Frank Ogawa Plaza is open for free speech activities between 6 am and 10 pm.
We can change America and but we must unite and not divide our city. I hope we can work together.

WE are the 53%
EDITORIAL: There is now a group who call themselves “We are the 53%”. Erick Erickson, editor-in-chief of the conservative website RedState.com blog called "We are the 53%." It mimics Occupy Wall Street "We are the 99 percent" site.
“The 53% site gives a voice to those who reject the contention that most Americans are victims of the system. "I took jobs I didn't want. Why don't you?" says one poster to the protesters. "Suck it up and become part of the 53%."’
So now there is a group with conservative leanings that want people to join their cause by claiming to be the 53%. ‘"What the 99% is missing is the element of personal responsibility," said Trevino, who is also vice president at the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation.”
“Today, RedState is the most widely read right of center blog on Capitol Hill, is the most often cited right of center blog in the media, and is widely considered one of the most influential voices of the grassroots on the right.”
In other words they are a conservative group with conservative goals. They in no way represent what Occupy Wall Street does or what Occupy Wall Street is all about. They miss the mark. Yet they want to claim they are the 53%. They are the 53% of conservatism. Where Occupy Wall Street is made up of people from all walks of life.
“Occupy Wall Street is leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants.”
Nowhere does the above say anything about belonging to a political party. It does say a “leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions.”
Now for a group to come along and claim they are 53% is not only a falsehood but an out right a lie and a total misrepresentation of what Occupy Wall Street is all about and stands for.
“We are 53%” is nothing more than a falsehood of the worst kind. The only people that belong to their group are those that are of the same mindset and persuasion. They are just another leaf of the Tea Party grassroots on the right. They are nothing more and nothing less than being conservatives. They in no way represent 53% of the people but just maybe 53% of conservatives and that’s about all.

Twenty-two Arrests at Occupy Orlando
Tulelake, CA— In Orlando there were Twenty-two arrested for occupying a park for trespassing.
The police officers stood for over an hour before arrests were made. They waited for backup. The police are telling Occupy Orlando that the party is over; the party is just getting started though. Most just get 'detained' and released without having to pay bail.
Twenty-two arrested at Beth Johnson Park. 80 march to 33rd Street police station downtown in solidarity.
Did you know that in some Orlando, FL parks it’s illegal to feed large groups? It is. And that means that some people who want to feed large groups of homeless people find themselves at odds with the law.
So much so, that some people can be arrested for intentionally breaking it.
Yes they made laws that groups are not allowed to feed the homeless in Orlando it is absurd simply a law. You have to have a permit to feed the homeless.
“For them to regulate a time and place for free speech and to share food, that is unacceptable.”
So they may have to relocate the occupation?
