Occupy Wall Street, Then the FED!


I like what has been happening with the Occupy Wall Street protests that started in New York and has spread around the country/world.  I also think that most of the folks camping out and holding signs are a little misguided in directing their anger towards the vague evils of Wall St. and faceless corporations.  These entities have the economy crippling power they do because of the dubious relationship between giant corporations and the federal government through corrupt lobbyists and even more corrupt legislators.  The secret leviathan that is the Federal Reserve should be receiving the brunt of peoples fury for creating out of control inflation and allowing the federal government to grow beyond anyone could have imagined.  I hope these people start picking up what Ron Paul putting down about this out of control corporate socialist system before more heads get cracked.

I don't have much hope for this though, as every single major media outlet, be it red/blue, is cartoonishly ignoring Ron Paul's campaign and its victories and poll standings.  I've just watched the newest sham debate on CNN and it is literally laughable how they ignore the intellectual giant on stage, not even mentioning his name or showing his face after the debate.  Help draw attention to this phenomenon by donating to the black this out moneybomb on the 19th of October.  Lets show those fools!

Dubious Assassination

The recent killing of Anwar al-Awlaki by a U.S. drone strike brings to light some constitutionally dubious actions taken by the Obama administration.  The killing of this U.S. born American citizen without the due process of a trial is, in my opinion a very troubling step down a slippery slope of despotic executive action.  Jake Tapper thinks so as well as he grills press secretary Jay Carney in this video.

I am in no way defending the evil acts of al-Awlaki and I think he needed to be put away.  Its the process, in this case, that I take exception to.  I love how Tapper asks Carney at the end of the video what he thinks constitutional law professor Barak Obama would think of these actions.
