Thrive: new documentary exposes criminal New World Order of the 1%

The Thrive Movement and Movie explains and documents the CRIMES we witness that engage in wars and crushing control over the 99%. It also provides solutions.
This history has dominated US policy since Abraham Lincoln’s failed effort to expose the US violation of crystal-clear treaty with Mexico in order to steal nearly half their land in 1846.
The answer is revolution from these CRIMES in obvious areas of war and economic looting in the trillions of our dollars every year.
Occupy is about American citizen recognition of these CRIMES, ending them through arresting the CRIMINALS, and implementation of policy to unleash humanity.

REPORT: Occupy Crackdowns Aided by Feds – Homeland Security
Our democratic republic isn't what it used to be

( That must be 'de-mock-ratic republic' of fantasyland. Kent State, Domino Theory and the Cold War didn't have much of  an educational impact on punditry.  Spying on the public is much more pervasive now there is no believable physical hazard from other nations, however.  Hazard from 'corporate persons' is another matter entirely.)

Ted Rall | Our Fuck-You System of Government
Governments are supposed to fulfill the basic needs of their citizens. Ours doesn’t pretend to try. Sick? Too bad. Can’t find a job? Tough. Broke? Can’t afford rent? We don’t give a crap. Forget “e pluribus unum.” We need a more accurate motto. We live under a fuck you system...

See the guy in the photo there, dangling an ax from his left hand? That’s Greece’s new “Minister of Infrastructure, Transport and Networks” Makis Voridis captured back in the 1980s, when he led a fascist student group called “Student Alternative” at the University of Athens law school. It’s 1985, and Minister Voridis, dressed like some ...

Dave Johnson | How Wealthy Companies Like Verizon Avoid Taxes
Verizon needs to open a call center, which means a few new low-paying jobs. They get local governments bidding against each other, offering all kinds of tax breaks if only they'll bring those jobs there. Before the bidding war these jobs will be in the economy somewhere, but local schools, police, etc. will be funded. After the bidding war the same number of...

Danny Schechter | The Police May Have Seized The Park But The Movement Moves On
It was strange, after all these weeks, to be on the outside looking in at a new set of occupiers that were there because they have the guns and we don't. When Mao said that "power grows out of the barrel of a gun" he most assuredly did not have anything like Occupy Wall Street on his mind, but somehow the insight applies. The recent attacks on Occupy ...

It is November now, and cold winds blow through the canyons of a heartless city, past corporate towers of stony indifference. Through streets not paved with gold. In recent days the iron hand of authority has been ungloved, and in cities across the country it has begun to deal that inevitable blow against the occupiers. It is a backlash that we all knew ...

Pennsylvania, the most aggressive about fining violators, sought penalties for more than a quarter of the violations found last year. It levied fines for 4 percent of the violations, with the penalties totaling $3.7 million. The largest of those was a $900,000 fine against a drilling company that contaminated the water of 16 homes.

That was less than the profits the company makes in three hours.

Oil and gas drillers who pollute groundwater, spill toxic chemicals or break other rules have little to fear from the inspectors and agencies regulating the surge in American petroleum production. A Greenwire review of enforcement data from the largest drilling states shows that only a sm…
 
Eric Alterman writes: "The first thing the police did was clear out the journalists so that they could not see what was going on—just as they routinely do in totalitarian nations. At least 10 reporters were arrested. Ironically, the owners of at least three New York newspapers could not have been happier. Of course, all three are not merely members of “the one percent” but the 1 percent of the 1 percent."

Tim Geithner is a tool, literally. When Geithner took the Treasury helm, the amount of Treasury Security debt outstanding was $5.7 trillion.

Wisconsin lost an estimated 9,300 private-sector jobs in October in the state's fourth consecutive month of job losses, according to data released Thursday by the state Department of Workforce Development.
 
For all the noise of government and the chattering classes there is an inescapable conclusion: that is that there can not, and will not be a recovery without a magical gargantuan increase in jobs. "Jobless recovery" is a lie and oxymoron that the Central Bankers trot out to placate you. There are now as few real jobs in the US as there was in 1980. It's done, stick a fork in it.

While most Americans are struggling, those who are thriving were bailed out at taxpayers' expense and profit from the majority's pain. The Occupy movement has skin in the game, they are invested in the outcome.
 
'US police forces have become increasingly militarized, and it's showing in cities everywhere: the NYPD 'white shirt' coating innocent people with pepper spray, the arrests of two student journalists at Occupy Atlanta, the declaration of public property as off-limits and the arrests of protesters for 'trespassing.'

Bob Powell explains that under orders from a cabal of international bankers, the CIA trained and equipped Al Qaeda terrorists and set them on a path of "revolution" that ended with a new Libyan Central Bank and the black flag of al-Qaeda flying over the Benghazi courthouse.
Assisted by NATO forces and Qatari Army Soldiers and supplied with weapons by the Qataris, these Al Qaeda terrorists tried to overthrow the Jamahiriya government and its symbolic leader Muammar Gaddafi by killing tens of thousands of Libyan civilians and by destroying the country's infrastructure.
Now, as the "legitimate" government of Libya, the National Transitional Council is waging a genocide against black Libyans, African guest workers, members of Muammar Gadaffi's tribe and the millions of Libyans who support the free democratic Jamahiriya government.
