After more than a year of domestic terrorism against Occupy, Obama continues to acidically mock us

[Fire Walk With Me]

41. Posting this here as well:

It is more than arrests. It is intimidation, beatings, the threat of arrest, harassment, media lies, DHS and FBI spying and sharing our info with corporations...by those who have by now proven repeatedly to be genuinely on the side of those we decry.

The non-arrest of banksters and their continued coddling and bail-out goes to motive, and Obama has by now shown plenty.

Obama specifically protects and enables Wall Street and the corporations who are enjoying undue, direct influence in "our" government (Mussolini calls Fascism a merger of state and corporate power). DHS have been long since militarizing "our" police departments. DHS spied upon us and include top-level people such as Peter King who flatly, publicly stated that Occupy must not be allowed to gain the same sort of influence as the 60s activists he remembered, lest we actually affect government policy. (Note that the "tea party" who were co-created by the multi-billionaire Koch brothers have not only direct influence of government through protest, but enjoy some three state governors under their control...how are they allowed to influence government police but we are arrested to the tune of thousands?).

Know what? I've seen several Occupiers arrested repeatedly, singled out by cops, given phony felony charges which the cops were smilingly happy to show up in court to enforce. I don't know about your state, but in CA a single felony can bar you from a majority of job opportunities. Even if it's due to completely made-up charges; it destroys lives and the cops were going nuts handing them out to see what could be made stick. I did court support and going through that system creates a lot of stress upon people. The cops go home whistling; our people go under months of stress. Again, some were targeted repeatedly. They were not attempting to get arrested:

This Occupier had been arrested two days earlier, and here are the cops grabbing him again while he's standing still, looking entirely in the other direction. This is what went on and is still going on. To be forced into the court system with the threat of losing life opportunities or even your freedom over phony charges is direct intimidation. One area commander even mocked a woman he'd earlier had arrested (when he saw her at a later protest).

I'm not going on a tangent away from discussing Occupy into qualifying other groups. No tangents.

Know that in our training, we were made very aware of three zones of arrest possibility (safe at the outside, more danger toward the target, danger of arrest at the target) only at certain actions where arrests might be possible. Our training told us to not get arrested, at least here in LA, because of the hassle involved. The threat of arrest, of being repeatedly singled out and arrested, IS intimidation.

And if you've somehow missed the images and video of police brutality I've posted from the "democratic" national convention, check out a very little bit of what occurred in Oakland via a "democratic" mayor (who had been in a conference call with 18 other mayors regarding what to "do" about Occupy encampments). Note the near-death experiences of two peaceful Veterans and the repeated lies out of city hall:

Police brutality. Police profiling. Phony arrests and phony charges. Intimidation. Courts experiences. Hundreds upon hundreds of militarized police against us, over and over and over and over. "GO HOME AND SHUT UP" is the clear message, and it comes down from government. Remember the genuinely corporate "tea party" have their way with the government, but we are beaten and jailed. For well over a year.

Maybe you had to be there for it to make sense, that the government's message is “DO WHAT WE SAY OR ELSE”.
