Re: the photos- I am reeling in all these images of our spirits there in the early wake of consciousness to form a world of real economies, self run, self wrought.! Bradley, like Linda I think these are wonderfully done.

Here is a link to a video I shot of the opening of the General Assembly on October 5th, including the reading of the statement and the setting up of ground rules of mutual respect and cooperation. It was a wonderful example of how to set up an occupation, and actually shift our experience of the world.
Enjoy! http://youtu.be/2fBfktCATgM

WHERE ARE THE CORPORATE GREED ISSUES??surely someone can think of some thing other than "gmo" i personally would gripe about the e-coli contaminated fruits and veggies being grown outside our borders that we consume in the winter time,(and yes i know about the american e-coli issues), or stuff like that but i have not heard one issue yet just "corporate greed", if you really want to know the reason for the money pinch, well mainly its the std/drug healthcare bills here and overseas, the ashakenazi political pres. front of the last 40 years neglected sephardic foreign organized drug crime, which fed the std rate to its current level, so std health care is causing economic shortcomings would wide, you guys should protest foreign organized drug crime. |
