The Hypocrisy of Mike Bloomberg [VIDEO]

Straight from the facebook page of Mike Bloomberg.
It's just amusing sometimes to see him speak about the 'safety of citizens' or really - anything to do with Human Rights at all, since he has so proudly overseen the perpetual abuse of Human Rights through the brutality of his NYPD. Literally breaking the bones and shedding the blood of peaceful protesters who assert their RIGHT to be - and to protest - in public places is far from sincere concern for the wellbeing of The People.

You just can't make this stuff up...
But look at the overt reaction he's been getting since launching constant physical assaults on peaceful protesters. Hey Mike... We Are Winning. Your tyranny dressed up as legitimacy, just isn't fooling anyone anymore. We're coming for you. You and your Wall Street buddies better figure something out quick - because your brutality has served no purpose but to expose you for a brute.
We will not relent.
See you soon.


While trying to capitalize on the current American zeitgiest regarding a tragedy...

“Stand Your Ground” laws pushed by the National Rifle Associationhave not made our country safer. They’ve made us less safe.

Actions and Updates in Albany

#OAbanner
WaterOnFire

With an unprecedented showing of community support, Albany banned fracking last year. It was then vetoed by Mayor 1% Jennings (yes, the one who evicted Occupy Albany). After two NYS Supreme Court judges ruled in favor of municipal zoning rights in other locales, the Albany ban is being introduced once more. Come stand with the Environmental Sustainability Working Group tonight!

MONDAY | March 19 | 6pm | Albany City Hall, 24 Eagle Street

#OCCUPYnewscorp


Enjoy an early morning action at the office of the parent company of Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post. Despite making $8.65 billion in profits from 2008-2010, News Corps pays less tax than a family of four making $58k. In 2011 alone, they spent $7 million on lobbyists, $35.6 million on accountants, and $2.9 million in contributions to political candidates. Together with VOCAL-NY, we will engage in direct action at the NYS Capitol followed by a teach-in in the War Room challenging the role of corporate influence over our political process. Meet at the Washington Avenue entrance to the Capitol at 9:30.


TUESDAY | March 20 | 9:30am | NYS Capitol Building

WelcomeToTheInternet


Do you like computers? Are you fond of the internet? Do you wish that you could post to the Occupy Albany website? The I.T. Working Group will be holding a Teach-In to show working group members how to access and post to the new website.

Matewan


Set in 1920's West Virginia, Matewandepicts the struggle of miners as they attempt to organize and defend themselves against the exploitative and heavy-handed Stone Mountain Coal Company. The film touches not only on the hardships of early labor organizers as they fought for unionization, but also explores issues of race, infighting within social movements, and the autonomy-stripping nature of capitalism. Film showing begins at 8pm, followed by discussion.

Why We Must UNITE & Stand Together, Literally

EMERGENCY CALL TO ACTION:

Occupy Ithaca has just been denied the permit that their Mayor requested them to apply for.
Rumors point to eviction, soon.

The M.O. of cities around the country who act to evict,
such as recently seen at Occupy LA and reaffirmed at
Occupy Poughkeepsie here in New York, is to:
1.) Give word of an impending eviction
2.) Wait a while, until the overwhelming support of The People diminishes
3.) Strike in the middle of the night when most people are unavailable to show up in large numbers

Our most effective strategy:
1.) Keep cameras (with lights) charged and ready at all times
2.) Coordinate large numbers of supporters to be alerted via a mass-text for emergency response to the park (remember, it will likely come late at night - when cowards strike)

Call on nearby groups (such as Occupy Binghamton, Occupy Cortland, Occupy Syracuse - as it relates to Occupy Ithaca's impending situation) who can each use mass-texts locally in order to coordinate themselves as emergency responders.

Remember - OUR GREATEST WEAPON AGAINST OPPRESSORS IS THEIR OWN ACTIONS.
We need only witnesses. We need only to capture on video, the actions of these cowardly attackers, who are clearly too afraid and ashamed to perform these acts in the light of day.

They will continue to pick us off one by one if we let them.

WE MUST UNITE.
WE MUST LITERALLY STAND TOGETHER - AS ONE.

Coordinate with what contacts you already have - as there is NO TIME TO WASTE!

Also be sure to CONTACT US and make sure that we have AT LEAST ONE DIRECT CONTACT for your location/occupation, so that we may facilitate coordination.

For now, contact Ithaca Mayor Carolyn Peterson's office and let them know that you will stand up to defend the rights of the protesters in Ithaca!

The People of Albany Petition the Mayor

Sign the Petition!

To Albany Mayor Jennings:
We protest your decision to disband the Occupy Albany camp site by December 22.
Occupy Albany and the other occupations around the country have gained wide support because of their message, which is that the 1% is running Wall Street and the country for their own interests while the other 99% are being hurt by these policies.
It is we, the 99%, who bailed out the banks that caused the
economic crisis in the first place. And it is we, the 99%, who are now being asked to sacrifice yet more. The occupations include people who have lost homes, have huge college debts and no job or can not afford college at all. State workers who are threatened with layoffs and who are having austerity contracts rammed down their throats have joined us in Albany, as have Verizon workers and others who are under attack.
The order for us to abandon our occupation site is a direct attack on our civil liberties. The occupation has served as a much-needed ongoing protest to the policies of the 1%, which you are now attempting to stop. We demand that you allow this public space for our continued peaceful protest.
