OCCUPY but Police will EVICT: Police Coercive force

Jacqui Credo Purpose Dowdell

The peaceful Occupy Movement in cities throughout the United States of America are being dismantled by police crews Spurred on by the Big Apple group, Occpy Wall Streets, occupiers who believe they are protected by their constitutional rights to peaceful assembly are finding themselves being booted from their makeshift camps. In some ...cases police in riot gear to encourage occupiers to quickly ex......it their squatter positions without injuries. In other cases, police used tear gas and rubber bullets and other tactics such as horses, motorbikes and others police gear causing injuries Force that has lead to the brain injury of Scott Olsen.

Olsen, a former Marine, two-time Iraq war veteran sustained a head injury during the police takeover of Occupy Oakland. Injury occurred after the police tear gassed the occupiers. Olsen is in fair condition who will need brain surgery. Oakland occupiers have now taken back their camp with approval from some city officieal. Police are not so sure this is a good arrangement with the occupiers, citing safety issues.

After the Olsen incident, police officials are concerned that if police help is needed within the camps, police will be entering hostile environments. With this announcement, those who do not peaceful restrain themselves in the presence of police should be be prepared for a more forceful reaction from police who enter their camps. Police did not minced word with the recent takeover of Occupy Denver after occupiers allegedly had a physical confrontation with police officers, "[t]wo of the protesters were held for felony charges after police said an officer was knocked off his motorcycle and other officers were kicked, as they moved into the park to tear down illegal tents." Occupiers are calling these folks provocators, troublemakers who have entered thier peaceful camps.

But in essence, these folks are part of the 99%. These provocatorsbelieve in the war mentality that is bred in American citizens, an eye for an eye. These folks believe when hit, return the favor. It will be up to the occupiers to teach these folks that violence is not a part of the movement and they will have to learn to take a blow by a police officer The very folks who they have been trained to believe are their protectors When in fact, the police are the only folks who are protected by law to get away with coercive force against a citizen. The police are preparing for the forceful protection of big banks from occupiers. On November 5, 2011, occupiers are requesting folks to make a run on these banks. They are asking folks to take their money out of these banks and transfer them to credit unions or piggy banks. Whatever, that spell trouble for the police who will be required to make sure that robberies do not occur in the banks during this time period. The provocators who believe in survival by any means possible, including work with OPM..other people money.

ITALY global OWS.

ROME — Italian police are firing tear gas and water cannons at protesters after some smashed shop and bank windows, torched cars and hurled bottles.

TV footage showed police in riot gear charging the protesters and firing water cannons at them. A small group of violent protesters broke away from the main demonstration in the Italian capital, part of worldwide protests against corporate greed and austerity measures...

Occupiers create a protest song against home foreclsosure

Occupy Wall Street Foreclosure Protest from Mr. Brownstoner on Vimeo.


In unison, they sang a gospel-style song:
Mrs. Auctioneer,
All the people here,
We are asking you to hold off the sales right now,
We are going to survive but we don’t know how

October 15: Occupy Wall Street Mass Protest

On September 17, 2011 Zuccotti Park was taken over by those sick and tired of the greed of Wall Street. the number of occupiers have grown daily inspiring others to form their OWS protest in their cities to show solidarity to the NEW YORK group. October 15 is the scheduled world AMerican spring without violence.

But for who believes that the nonviolence movement had no violence, they need to review the civil rights movement tapes again. Or the early morning raid conducted by police in riot gear on protestors in Denver.

blackberry down Internationally:Europe, Africa and UAE.

Ben Flanagan

Oct 10, 2011 
BlackBerry users in the UAE were unable to send messages for a time today after a collapse in service across the Middle East, Europe and Africa caused by "network issues".

Millions of users worldwide were hit by the disruption to smartphone services, which include mobile internet and the popular BlackBerry Messenger (BBM).

BlackBerry told The National that services had been disrupted in several countries.

"We've had some network issues that we're trying to resolve," said Patrick Spence, the managing director for global sales and regional marketing at Research in Motion, which makes the phones.

"That was just today, in the last few hours," he added, saying that the issue was caused by unspecified technical problems.

Users in the UAE reported problems with the BBM service via Twitter.

"I can't survive without BBM," one Abu Dhabi resident wrote on the social networking site.

Birmingham Alabama 1961-Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth Gone Home

I wrote this in 2008 on 11/ 11/08 after Theodore Gaffney shared his story about a picture (the black and white photos )of the Freedom Riders and Rev Fred Shuttlesworth and how Shuttlesworth saved their lives. Shuttlesworth died October 5, 2011.

It was a different world for Theodore Gaffney also known as SirGaffney back in 1961. Gaffney reflects back on a time when African-American males were beat down for just integrating a bus as the nation prepares to witness the first African-American to become President of the United States.

Gaffney has a special picture that captured the mood of 1961. The picture was taken in 1961 but did not surface until February 26, 2006 in a newspaper article entitled Unseen but not Forgotten. Several of the folks were named by the article but Gaffney was misidentified and two listed as unknown.

Gaffney wearing an Obama skullcap talks about how he called the newspaper to correct the name. The picture shows Gaffney as a young man and others around a Greyhound Bus in discussion on how to get out of Birmingham Alabama. Forty-Seven years ago Gaffney was working as a photographer along with reporter Newson following freedom fighters. Freedom fighters,


Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, the outspoken pastor of Birmingham's Bethel Baptist Church and the leader of the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights, to give him the exact arrival times of the two "Freedom Buses," the normally unflappable minister offered an alarming picture of what the Freedom Riders could expect once they reached Birmingham. The city was alive with rumors that a white mob planned to greet the Riders at the downtown bus stations.


Gaffney was hoping for James Farmer to be in Birmingham on that day. But according to Gaffney, Farmer's father became sick. Farmer had to fly to his father's bedside. Gaffney wanted to see Farmer response to the terrorist Bull Connor.



Instead Gaffney and the reporter found themselves without a bus ride out of Alabama when the Greyhound driver declared, you may be freedom fighters but he was not and he was not driving the Greyhound bus. Gaffney pointing at at the photo of Rev. Fred Shuttleworth stated, that it would be Shuttlesworth and his church that would come to their aid and get him and Newson to the airport.

Steve Jobs..Cancer takes down Apple Giant

Diagnosed with rare form of pancreatic cancer in 2003, Jobs died yesterday at age 56.



http://jmak.tumblr.com

Many folks throughout the world are mourning the death of Steve Jobs. Jobs, a baby boomer co-founded Apple,Inc and changed the way the world communicated. Jobs was stricken with pancreatic cancer and perhaps that is why folks all over world have laid flowers and other tokens of sympathy at Apple stores around the world.

Not only did he give us the face of great technology but the face of dignity when battling a disease that robs one of life.

“Technology alone is not enough,” said Mr Jobs at the end of his speech introducing the iPad 2, in March 2011. “It’s technology married with liberal arts, married with humanities, that yields the results that make our hearts sing.”

The legacy that he left behind will produce others great creators. India released a cheap prototype tablet for educating millions of folks. It is a possibility that one will produce a cure for cancer from the minds of many.

The government of India has unveiled a prototype of a touchscreen, tablet computer which it
expects to sell for $35 initially. As more companies migrate server applications and data storage to the cloud, a simple, Web-enabled platform such as this will replace the bloated desktop and laptop hardware architectures in use today.

Gerald Foday and Dr. Conrad Murray

Gerald Foday, Executive Director of the Fort Wayne Metropolitan Human Relations Commission was allegedly terminated, some say because of sexual harassment charges. If this is true, it does not bode well for the agency. This is the third executive director of the agency accused of sexual harassment. It would appear that the hiring process should be a panel rather than left to the executive director.

Speaking of sexual harassment, Michael Jackson's Dr. Conrad Murray was a busy doctor when it comes to your ladies. Sade Anding, Nicole Alvarez, Michelle Bella and Bridgette Morgan were four of Dr. Murray fan club..money.

Gun Walking? Come on Field Negro..no wonder we have killing fields

When agents "let guns walk," they stop surveillance and allow criminals to transfer weapons to others. In this case, that meant allowing the guns to cross the border into Mexico. It is a highly controversial practice agents typically are taught not to do.

International justice: Amanda Knox goes free after four years.

Amanda Knox has won her freedom. Amanda Knox, an American student studying aboard was charged with murder of her roommate,Meredith Kercher, a Briton another student studying aboard. Knox and two other individuals (one being her Italian boyfriend)were found guilty of the horrible crime. Knox and her boyfriend convictions were overturned by an Italian appeal court after four years. However, Rudy Guede remains in prison.

It's complicated-Libya and Italy

It should not come as too big of a surprise that Silvio Berlusconi has extended his hand in partnership to the new rebel leaders in Libya The Libyan National Transitional Council has overthrown his former friend and protectr Colonel Moammar Gadhafi.

Billion of dollars will be released to various organization to rebuild the country. What is surprising is that there was only $505 million in frozen assets belonging to Libyans. Here is a country that annually has billions of dollars in trade with Libya. So is this money a token gesture by Gadhafi friend to encourage the rebels to maintain the Libya-Italy business ties? Libya having over $160 billions in frozen assets this does not include the $50 billion readily available to the rebels. The United States has over $30 billion of frozen assets belonging to the wealthy Libyans.

Berlusconi is the Milanese law graduate, born in 1936, earned his first wages as a crooner on ocean liners and is now prime minister and foreign minister, owner of three national private TV channels and of the biggest advertising, insurance, publishing and film production and distribution companies to be watched during this rebuilding f Libya. His brother owns a major daily newspaper. His wife owns another. He is president of one of the biggest soccer teams in Europe, but the wealth is not fairly distributed about the Italian people who will not be pleased with Italy being overran by Libya ousting of Libyans to Italy

But parts of Africa remain loyal to Italy former friend. These African countries are refusing to unfreeze Libya assets to give to the rebels. So who is Berlonsconi supporting, Africa or the other countries? My bet it will be all countries but Africa to continue Italy policy of containment to prevent Italy from becoming black.

CNN’s Special Coverage of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Monument Dedication

CNN’s chief political correspondent and anchor Candy Crowley, anchor T.J. Holmes and anchor and special correspondent Soledad O’Brien will anchor live coverage of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial dedication in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, August 28th. Also reporting from the memorial will be D.C.-based correspondent Athena Jones.

Beginning at 6a.m. (ET), Holmes will anchor CNN Newsroom from Washington, D.C. From 9a.m. to 1p.m. (ET), Crowley anchors a special edition of State of the Union. CNN’s coverage of the dedication ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. (ET).

CNN will broadcast Freedom’s Foot Soldiers: A Conversation with T.J. Holmes Saturday, August 27 at 7:30 p.m. (ET). Holmes exclusively interviews Dr. King’s friends together in the basement of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta to reflect on the life of Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement then and now. In the very revealing, sometimes emotional interview with Juanita Abernathy, Xernona Clayton, Rev. Jesse Jackson, U.S. Representative John Lewis (D-GA), Rev. Joseph Lowery and former U.N. Ambassador Dr. Andrew Young, these “living legends” spoke of Dr. King’s desire to quit the movement and concentrate on writing and preaching, and the message the monument sends.

On Sunday, August 28 at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. (ET), CNN will air the documentary MLK: Words That Changed A Nation, reported by O’Brien. For this documentary, O’Brien interviewed Dr. King’s closest confidants, including Dr. Young, Rep. Lewis, and activist Dorothy Cotton, for their behind-the-scenes insights into many of the historic events of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. They discuss the arrest of Rosa Parks, Dr. King’s win of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize and Dr. King’s time in a Birmingham jail for his participation in a nonviolent protest for civil rights. MLK: Words That Changed A Nation includes an examination of Dr. King’s private library of papers, letters, and speeches that reveal his personal philosophy and theology, as well as his doubts and fears – as he and those around him created a peaceful revolution that forever changed America.

Leading up to this historic memorial dedication, CNN will broadcast coverage through the day, entitled Building the Dream beginning Thursday, August 25, with interviews from the witnesses of the assassination of Dr. King; a conversation with the survivors of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing (an attack that killed four girls in Birmingham, Alabama); a sneak peek of the collection being compiled for The National Museum of African American History and Culture; a look at the women behind the Civil Rights Movement; and the personal side of Dr. King from the eyes of his driver and personal assistant Tom Houck.
