October 1st 2011 17:41
Occupy Wall Street' protest in New York continues, with hundred encamped
The regular news channels reports are different from the online independent reporting. The Occupy Wall Street protestors are largely educated and organized and their marches are planned, not spontaneous. They are planning a long term protest through the winter months. People come out of college and there are no jobs. They challenge Wall Street financial manipulations as a major cause. The major media reports about 100 have been arrested so far and the police have used pepper spray. Independent media and online media reports many more being arrested and the size of the protestors are much larger than the main media reports.
Amy Goodman, who holds the respect of both liberal and conservative populists is covering the protest at her site and interviewed David Graeber, a top professor at Goldsmith' University of London
The Department of Anthropology at Goldsmiths is considered to be one of the best in Europe. David Graeber, whose contract at Yale was not renewed in 2005 because of his political commitment is reportedly is recognized as an expert on economic influences in our lives. Many of the protestors reportedly follow his views.

Economies based on making money on money instead of making things are burning out

Free trade is economic cancer - Can not leave free trade out of Wall Street Protests
By Ray Tapajna
President Roosevelt said economic diseases are highly communicable. Free trade is economic cancer.
Economies based on making money on money instead of making things are
burning out. The investment community divorced itself from the production sector of our society many years ago. The globalists used free trade as a tool to create new money products. They thought they could make debtor nations into exporting nations and have them at least pay interest on the loans whereby they could create perpetual revenues from these nations. But it didn't work because the new money products did not replace the loss value of workers and labor. Free trade deflates the value of labor, and this value is a real asset and perhaps a much better money standard than the value of paper money and all the funny money manipulations of transactions. Degrading the value of workers and labor affects all money values and creates a negative balance. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs during the most massive dislocation of jobs in U.S. history including the Great Depression.
A must read is "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins.
Mainstream media tries to make him look like a quirky character, but in
reading the book, you can put aside this judgment for another time and
study the process he portrays. He shows how the money powers of the world get nations hooked on loans and then penetrate into whatever they can in terms of capturing the total resources of these countries -- or at least find a way to control the flow of wealth in these nations. If we ignore these things while going after Wall Street directly, we miss the proper sequence of cause and effect.
Free trade is a take away project. It is not trade. It primarily aboutmoving production from place to place for the sake of cheaper labor. The
money products represented by equity loans, home loans and credit cards
went bad because free trade came and smashed the middle class production
workers. This affected other businesses and services as a new working
poor class replaced the middle class workers. More than a decade ago,
newspapers reported that 47 percent of all small business owners maxed
out their credit cards to stay afloat. Many businesses were surprised by
the onslaught of free trade and tried to find ways to survive. Many put
their homes and other personal assets on the line trying to survive. The
same applied to all the millions who lost their jobs due to free trade.
They thought they could easily get a job of equal value but this was not
case as many waited too long in joining the working poor class. We had
record-breaking personal and business bankruptcies and record-breaking
home foreclosures making headlines more than a decade ago.
Many thought that the "Battle in Seattle" in 1998 would wake America up
to the savage assault of globalization and free trade. The protests made
a big splash, but nothing really changed. The elite money powers found
ways to control these protests and keep them out of the news, just like
the Wall Street protest is now left out of big news channels.
Unfortunately, in the background, we shopped our way out of our jobs. We
took the dangling carrot of cheaper prices and went for the imported
goods from the wage slave markets of the world, with many saying they no
longer had a choice. They said it was a matter of survival.
We can say it is Wall Street who caused all this -- and perhaps they
did. But they did it after we participated in the process. We
participated in the deception by shopping our way out of our jobs. We
have to keep history straight about the Clinton era. It was a Democrat
President and a Democrat controlled Congress that passed both NAFTA and
GATT trade agreements. Of course, the Republicans locked hands with the
Democrats. Even people like Rush Limbaugh joined hands with President
Clinton and pushed for the passage of both NAFTA and GATT.
We also should let everyone know that even though President Bush hid our
economic mess behind his "shock and awe" wars, President Obama followed
him and bailed out the financial community and big money interests and
put them back in charge. We have only one major party in the U.S., and
it should be called the Globalist Free Traders party which ignores those
who have lost everything due to free trade. The first question to ask
all political candidates is this - who said we had to compete in a
global economy with one another for the same jobs? We do not need any
conspiracy theories to know that free trade did not evolve in any
natural fashion but has been driven by powerful elite forces outside the
will of the people.

President Bush followed President Clinton and joined the attack as Dr Strangelove of our times in 2001. President Obama followed and joined the attack in 2009 and even says that free trade is a job builder. Obviously this is not true. He bailed out the banks and investment community that backed free trade and put them back in charge of the process. He ignored the suffering of all who lost everything because of free trade that took a life time to accumulate. ( Please pass our artwork to all interested parties. By Ray Tapajna
Who has the Key? Workers are Handcuffed - was also first published in 1994 and it still holds true today in the betrayal of American workers and other workers in the world as the economic crisis has exposed :
No Room in the Boat - was also first published in 1994 and shows the main people responsible for the consummation of free trade. Hillary was there and not home baking cookies - see her part at Tapsearch Com Backfire
This is our most recent art in our Art that Talks series. It shows Harry and Sally in the USA with President Obama
