Occupy Honolulu: Worthy of Worldwide Attention

As President Obama met with no aloha and world leaders last month at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Hawaii to discuss how to bolster global trade, Occupy Honolulu protested economic inequity that they say would result from new trade agreements. Meanwhile, within the heavily guarded compound where the summit took place, renowned Hawaiian musician and guitarist Makana carried out his own act of protest.

Makana had been invited to play instrumental music at the gala dinner Saturday night. At the dinner, Makana opened his jacket to reveal a t-shirt which read, “Occupy with Aloha.”

Then, instead of performing the background instrumental he was scheduled to play, he started to sing a protest song he had released earlier that day. As world leaders including Obama and Chinese Premier Hu Jintao sat in the audience… Listen to Makana sing the incredible “We are the Many”… Continue reading →

By Elizabeth Harrington, cnsnews.com

October 19, 2011

(CNSNews.com) – Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that “people died” and “people’s homes burned to the ground,” because the Bush administration allowed “God-awful Ponzi schemes” on Wall Street.

Speaking at a rally to promote a piecemeal provision of President Obama’s jobs proposal, Biden told police and firefighters that the budget shortfalls of state and local governments were not attributable to state and local governments.

“Those of you know it’s not really the fault of your mayor or your government,” the vice Continue reading →

Give it Back! Bank of America donates to Congress for 2012 Elections – Give it Back!

Posted on October 16, 2011 by Deadly Clear

Bank of America ~~bribes~~ donates to Congress for 2012 Elections.

Bank of America, whose stock has been tanking for over a year and appears on the verge of bankruptcy, has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the 2012 Congressional elections. How stupid is that?!

Not only are the political donations absurd given the fact that Bank of America has taken $1.344 TRILLION ($1,344,000,000,000) from the Federal Reserve (see page 131 of the audit report) since 2007… These are public funds (yours and mine) used to “prop” up a failing bank that apparently is under-collateralized.

So, what’s this? Another charade? Did Geithner or Bernanke suggest, “Hey Barack we’ll fix it, we’ll just file a big lawsuit against everybody and then we’ll cut a deal that let’s the banks off the hook for everything for the $20 billion the AG’s won’t settle on…”

The federal agency that oversees the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is set to file suits against more than a dozen big banks, accusing them of misrepresenting the quality of mortgage securities they assembled and sold at the height of the housing bubble, and seeking billions of dollars in compensation.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency suits, which are expected to be filed in the coming days in federal court, are aimed at Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, among others, according to three individuals briefed on the matter.

The suits stem from subpoenas the finance agency issued to banks a year ago. If the case is not filed Friday, they said, it will come Tuesday, shortly before a deadline expires for the housing agency to file claims. Continue reading →

Remember Barack Obama’s “Yes we can” victory speech from Chicago’s Grant Park on Election Night 2008? Nearly three years later, what’s happened to the hope and promise of that November evening? For millions of American families struggling with foreclosure, it’s become nothing more than empty words and disappointment from an Administration that believes “Wall Street is our Main Street” and “foreclosures are good for the economy.” Their half-assed attempt to alleviate the foreclosure crisis, HAMP, has proved to be nothing more than a cruel
