Olbermann Calls For Mayor Bloomberg’s Resignation Because Of His Fake Terror Plot

4:48 pm - Sat, Nov 19, 2011: 1 note

The Occupy Wall Street movement is a big enough problem for U.S. banks that they should pay for opposition research into the political motives of protesters, said a firm that lobbies for the industry.

Clark Lytle Geduldig & Cranford, a Washington-based firm, proposed the idea in a memo to the American Banking Association, an industry group which said on Saturday that it did not act on the idea.

The four-page memo outlined how the firm could analyze the source of protesters’ money, as well as their rhetoric and the backgrounds of protest leaders.

“If we can show they have the same cynical motivation as a political opponent, it will undermine their credibility in a profound way,” said the memo, according to a copy of it on the website of TV news channel MSNBC, which first reported on it.

Clark Lytle Geduldig counts the banking association among its regular lobbying clients, U.S. Senate records showed.

Other clients include MasterCard Worldwide and a banking coalition concerned about interchange fees.

The firm did not respond to requests for comment.

Its memo said it could deliver research, survey data and plans to use the information in 60 days at a cost of $850,000.

In need of Support.

I am so happy to see how many people are following this blog for information on world news, revolutions, and most importantly Occupied cities…but this is me asking for help.

I need more support. In general most people tend to reblog but never follow the original blog or give credit. I don’t want credit…all I want is support from people who want to know what is going on without mainstream media.

If you know someone who you think would be interested in this blog show them, they dont even have to have tumblr. If you like what is posted and agree with it, tell people about it or reblog posts. People need to wake up to what is going on right now and one of the major ways to do that is with blogs and general information.

:) Inform people! Please help me and every other blog out.

Thank you,
Derek

You Can't Bank On Free Speech.

The banks, payment and credit card companies support extremist organisations by authorising transfers and donations to them. You can use VISA and MasterCard to donate to the Ku Klux Klan and the English Defence League. You can donate to Aryan Nations, a white supremacist organisation, despite being designated a “terrorist threat” by the FBI.

VISA and MasterCard do not mind if you decide to use your cards to buy pornography on the internet or a rifle identical to the one used by the right-wing extremist Andreas Breivik to murder 69 people in Norway. To justify such associations the banks erect a facade of political neutrality. But there is one conspicuous exception where the finance companies show their true face.

The extrajudicial banking blockade imposed upon WikiLeaks by VISA, MasterCard, Bank of America, Western Union and PayPal is unique and has been in place for almost a year.

This is absolutely the most horrible thing in the world when it is compared to the many organizations in the world that are doing much worse for ordinary every day people….but when it comes to the government I guess it’s ok to completely lock out an organization.
