The Shock Doctrine as defined by Naomi Klein is happening right now.
Harrisburg, PA declares bankruptcy and more are considering it.

I just heard a news reader say more cities are considering bankruptcy. Do you think that services provided by the city to the average person will not be impacted by this?

The economy is being decimated. Bringing the average person to their knees so the people that 'own' the golden rule can take total control is not a conspiracy it is happening before our eyes. Have you ever wondered how some corporations can make such record profits while the average person continues to lose everything. It's a world economy and the people that 'own' the golden rule know how to game it globally.

Please support OWS.

"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" is a poem and song by Gil Scott-Heron

I will not be televised because television and the corporate media machine types are becoming passe'.
Even though the corporate elites own the software and internet tools they are not in a position to shut it down.
That is to our advantage.

Big pool of toxic waste with a mushroom cloud over it.
