1. END THE FED

    The United States of America’s “Fiscal Cliff” put in a simpler perspective:

    US TAX revenue (Money the government steals from its people by taxation): $2,170,000,000,00

    Federal Reserve Budget (Money the Fed already spent): $3,820,000,000,000 

    New/Recent Debt(More money the Fed spent, recently): $1,650,000,000,000 

    National Debt from the past: $14,271,000,000,000

    Recent budget cuts: $38,500,000,000 …. REALLY GUYS?

    Now, lets simplify this and pretend this is a regular household budget: 

    Annual Family income: $21,700

    Money the family spent: $38,2000 

    New debt on the credit card: $16,500

    Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710 

    Total budget cuts so far: $38.50 

    Now if you’re still confused or just not good with numbers. Here is another way to look at the Debt ceiling that the Federal Reserve has created: 

    Let’s say, you come home from work one day and find that there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood… and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceiling. What do you do? Raise the ceiling? Or remove the shit? 

    Stop voting into the system. END THE FED. 

     


  2. We need a revolution in America, to understand and educate people about an evolution in the world. Were so far behind on how to simply share in the U.S. How can people expect an evolution with people who have been educated from birth to live off the system and know nothing about whats going on in the world? It’s a dream.

  3. Artivism :

    Artivist is a portmanteau word combining “art” and “activist”. Frank Berganza has stated: “When one pushes for changesocially, politically, or environmentally, by utilizing their creative ability to communicate in ways of their artistic activity, that shall be known as Artivism”. Artivist Eve Ensler has stated: “… This passion has all the ingredients of activism, but is charged with the wild creations of art. Artivism — where edges are pushed, imagination is freed, and a new language emerges altogether.” Bruce Lyons has written: “… artivism … promotes the essential understanding that … [humans] … can, through courageous creative expression, experience the unifying power of love when courage harnesses itself to the task of art + social responsibility.”[1][2][3] Artivism developed in recent years while the antiwar and anti-globalization protests emerged and proliferated. In most of the cases artivists attempt to push political agendas by the means of art, but the focus on raising social, environmental and technical awareness, has increased exponentially as people has started to lose faith in politics and the current socioeconomic system. Besides using traditional mediums like film and music to raise awareness or push for change, an artivist can also be involved in culture jammingsubvertisingstreet artspoken word,protesting and activism.

    Sounds a lot like LIBERTARIANISM doesn’t it? People who claim to be an artivist and support Obama or Romney are a walking contradiction and need to be corrected. CALL THEM OUT. END THE WAR.

    The first arrest was a protester who objected to the police removing a tarp that was protecting our media equipment from the rain. The police said that the tarp constituted a tent, in spite of it not being a habitat in any way. Police continued pressuring protesters with extralegal tactics, saying that a protester on a bullhorn was breaking a law. The protester refused to cease exercising his first amendment rights and was also arrested.

    Fight on people.
