Time to assemble once more.

2012: The Year of the Dragon

Time to assemble once more.

This kid’s got an attitude that you just can’t fix. Pepper spray. Truncheons. Gas. Confinement. Brutality. Nothing works. You tell him he can’t loiter and he pitches a tent. You tell him he can’t assemble and he brings his friends. You tell him to be quiet and he starts a mic check. You raise your baton in one hand and squeeze the trigger on the pepper spray canister in the other. You curse this kid’s existence because deep down you know you’ll have to go through it all again … and even worse, you think he might be right.

The discourse of our world is shifting. Today is the three-month anniversary of Occupy. It’s a time to reflect, to celebrate, to think about what has been achieved already and about what’s coming up next.

From pole to pole, from East to West, people are rising up! It started in Tunisia, it moved to Egypt, then to New York, and now there are rumblings in Russia and the Far East.

Let’s celebrate our successes and dream up new offensives. Out in the streets, in our homes, as we occupyxmas and as we hibernate for the winter, let’s take this day to revel in the birth and ongoing life of our movement. And as we brainstorm this winter, what do you see happening in the next stage? Share your thoughts, tactics, epiphanies, and revelations below … and no matter what … let’s come out swinging when the crocuses bloom next Spring.

Here’s to the Year of the Dragon,

from all of us here at Adbusters

Lol, yeah well beware of Eugenics and their history.
I agree we need to approach the subject of population and it's effects but carefully.
But Let's not encourage or panic the scary people...

"Dividend arbitrage is complex. But at its heart, a bank or hedge fund lends equities in often high yielding French, German or Italian companies to another institution. The receiving institution then passes the equities through a network of low or no tax jurisdictions before returning the equities to the original owner using a subsidiary in another tax haven. In this way, banks can avoid the 15% average withholding tax levied on dividends in European countries."

For hedge funds based in the Cayman Islands or Bermuda, the trade is particularly useful in slashing tax bills.

There is "NO DEBT CRISIS" for crying out loud, there is a "crisis caused by evil robbers" in almost every country on the globe, that have "stolen so much of the public funds" that they have "put everyone else into debt" that is the "REAL CRISIS" we are facing and now these "EVIL MASONIC THUGS" are forcing public agencies to "cut short their services" and to curtail library hours, so that they can "continue to live high on the hog" while the rest of the world is being told to "practice austerity" why don't we insist that the "British PRINCE" drive a "Mercedes Benz" like his wife did at one time instead of
ROLLS ROYCE after all, they are still quite luxurious, and then repay the BRITISH PUBLIC for all the "LIES" that he has put out about the "INTERNATIONAL JEW" and the "GLOBAL MOSLEM" and the global warming lies, making it sound like "everyone is a climate thug" when clearly "climate piracy" has been practiced first by the "VERY ALCHEMISTS" that like mentioned in Jason Alan Jankowski's good book, the ART OF THE TRADE were trying to turn "silver or other less precious metals into gold" and he correctly stated this has proven to be either utterly impossible for Gold is an element and not a compound, or least with the latest in nuclear technology "NOT COST EFFECTIVE"!
Therefore since I have to write some valid info to a friend in a moment I simply state that the "DEBT CRISIS" is a misnomer for the "KINGS ARE NOT IN DEBT" that is incorrect they "own the debt" and that is what is "causing this crisis"!

They put us all into debt by "robbing the public treasury" and now making it appear like we are the "spendthrifts" when they can "spend money" by the millions on "EVIL WARS" and evil monarchies all over the world, even the "socallled republics" are often run by the "descendants" of the evil kings of the past!
