A seemingly simple commentary on the so-called Occupy Wall Street, “demands” and “proposals.”

Obama, as we all know, has burned out the bully pulpit with most Americans. And now that he hasn't a super-majority to merely demand his ideas, like healthcare, be forced down the throats of the American People, he's lost whatever chicanery his taking office assumed he could always muster by incantation before TOTUS.

Except, when you look at the scandals, whose tentacles of Chicago-style politics & patronage appear to be able to place the taxpayers of this nation, to place the legal interest of the U.S. Government, subordinate to political special interests. As in Solyndra, there is an appearance of patronage on behalf of a big donor and Obama funds bundler; also, a patronage that extends into the international community of Mexican Drug Cartels, that may have reneged on their quid-pro-quo agreement not to cross the border into America with their violence in exchange for American Arms bought by the taxpayer, if you're willing to look this far, it is one possible appearance of “Fast and Furious;” a patronage that may even be involved in the Arab Spring, a strategic sort based on sympathizing with the Muslims due to Mr. Obama's childhood as a Muslim, (see http://changingwind.org/index/comment.php?comment.news.158) and this is irrespective of placing our ally Israel in greater jeopardy.

And this brings us to the Occupy Wall Street group, where the patronage, the exchange, is to have them be his marketing arm. Through the unions these groups have become larger, taken on organization, and even have a bank for their money (see http://patdollard.com/2011/10/occupy-wall-street-issues-public-apology-to-its-bank/). This allows them to do what Mr. Obama cannot do: Command minds to listen with an open ear via media attention that Mr. Obama can no longer garner. We hear a number of groups with different ideas, read without the sense of Obama's all too comfortable dilatory speeches in illustrating his intellectual prowess, and without the need for the Democratic Party (as taken over by the Progressive Left) to take the political fallout if it had proposed what Occupy Wall Street folks are actually suggesting.

There are a few examples of their discussions or possible demands posted across the internet and their groups across the country (see http://occupywallst.org/forum/proposed-list-of-demands-for-occupy-wall-st-moveme/, and http://townhall.com/ as some examples).

What I found interesting in watching videos of them is that they are carrying on public assemblies as though a government marketing arm for the Obama and the Democratic Party's Progressive agenda and I believe that this could get ugly very fast.

I, of Pacific Island descent, alleged by the media as “a White Tea Party Racist,” by merely being in the Tea Party, find it interesting in the latter link above, that there appeared to be no people of color who stood up wanting John Lewis to speak at Occupy Wall Street in Atlanta – and the deafening media silence in overlooking this fact, including from African-American Leaders, was rather striking. Apparently the appearance of racism is given a pass when pushing a socialist agenda (i.e. Occupy Wall Street), but is not okay when you're not racist just because you are not pushing a socialist agenda (i.e. Tea Party). It's the old trick of double standards at its finest, one that places blindness, for the good of the cause, over reason in all cases. Emotional at its base, this blindness says that the overall cause will bring about an end that will justify the means, and it’s ironic that George Clooney recently claimed such hypocrisy of our politicians is a part of the message in his latest movie (as seen on USA channel previews of the “Ides of March”). The writers apparently never thought that such a blindness would ever be able to be implemented across a mass of people. And to make sure the illustration of this is clear, so we all know it is absolutely possible, youtube is our friend:

What struck me the most was the “hand signal” idea, instead of clapping, to avoid interrupting the speaker. It was a surreal moment to see this, for, it was the appearance of Germany before the National Socialist German Workers' Party, that we better know as the NAZI party led by Adolf Hitler, took control by an election. What made it more surreal to me is that one only has to take the word “Rich” and replace it with “Jew” in the Occupy Wall Street rhetoric to see the parallel. But there are so many parallels, such as one speaker surrounded by a mass echoing every word said, that to me seems a dangerous opportunity for an Adolf Hitler-like figure to leap onto the stage. Yet another parallel was the extended arms waving in the air, twice the limb and seemingly more animated than the NAZI Salute, yet with that “can you see me” attention seeking to them to make sure their vote is known, while showing the obvious beginnings, footings being laid as they were in pre-NAZI Germany, particularly now, with the Unions (the backbone of the democratic party, whose mantra, no matter how erroneous, being “for the worker”) backing the protestors.

Another video about the seduction of the youth in Germany helps show the youth parallel as well:

You see the right arm extended out as a salute right? How this allows for a showing of approval without interrupting “der Fuhrer?” Striking indeed that socialism has these persistent earmarks, while socialism is the persistent tool to implement bridge-reforms to totalitarianism, to both the extremes of fascism and communism, and their historic oppressive character, identical to the root system that brought about their existence by disdain: feudalism.

But oppression’s bedfellow has always been the laziness of the masses. Not until good men, good people, were willing to stand up for the simple joy of Freedom, of control over their own destiny, the notion that there was a means for them to have their own property at their own pleasure, and be able to believe as they wish without persecution, has freedom from a government of oppression been possible, a freedom we enjoy due to the sacrifice of Our Founders, whose mantle to carry on this noble procession of Freedom for all mankind into the future has been laid at our feet.

The sword of battle, Our Written Constitution and Our Property that illustrates, asserts, and demands compliance of government, to the Will Of The People that is the instituting power bringing about such government as their servant, whose members volunteer to such servitude for the Honor of serving. This is an Honor because it is serving the Will Of The People, which in America is tantamount to Freedom by the mere mechanics Our Founders laid down. The whole design around the Honor of our government to serve Freedom is the guarantee of Individual Liberty.

These, so called 99%, are a mere group of “Classists,” who've bought into every notion of equality being based on wealth and power, without even the slightest scintilla of comprehension that equality is in the heart and mind of the Individual, only executable at Liberty, in a state of existence that assures they can seize opportunity without being limited by government's encroachment and “societal caste,” the very “Classism” they've bought into. Money and Power derive from the result of the choice. Socialism, Communism, and Fascism all testify to this in their failure throughout history, that their Utopian vision, an absolute perfection, requires force as the final means to achieve the Utopia. Use of force jumps to the conclusion of forcing compliance of those who do not agree, and it is this force that is the collusion of wealth and power to destroy the very fabric of humanity so easily claimed a necessity of our being: evolution. This is the reason this Utopian vision is an impossibility, for it rests on a lack of change in mankind to continue to be Utopia, and at no point has any political or economic system reached this Utopian ideal. Capitalism is not pursuing Utopia on a mass scale but by the idea of private property rights and that it is up to the Individual to design and have their own Utopia, to bring their own Utopian vision to fruition.

Stagnation is what destroys Utopia as a destination, stagnation caused by uniformity ad infinitum, a uniformity that extends from birth to death, and disallows thought beyond the scope of the uniform, except to a select few, such as the 15 who controlled the Politburo of The Soviet Union, or today's 24 controlling the European Union, and, in unions themselves, the hierarchy of the union over the worker, designing what is best for the union, not the worker. Always, the limitation of the self-interest of the governing body bubbles to the top in the crucible of politics, while those under the rule of the body are subject to the stagnation of being considered “cared for,” a dynamic that can only be corrected by complaints. This, as the Congressman Lewis video above demonstrates, may never resolve by any sort of deliberative process, but by a speaker falling back to whatever schedule was made previously.

In reviewing the above General Assembly proceedings, I find a parallel to Harry Reid's changing of the rules to avoid voting on President Obama's American Jobs Act, a vote that will fail. Reid's schedule, demonstrated since the beginning of the year, is to table all House Bills while whining about the harm caused by taking no action on the issues they address, and this is his persistent Progressive pursuit to change the established rules toward Government-run Democracy, and away from our Constitutional Republic. Mr. Reid did not hesitate in seizing the opportunity to change parliamentary rules made by Our Founders themselves, overruling the parliamentarian in the House which was meant to guide the body in holding to the precedent procedures of the American Republic. This is a similar “falling back to whatever schedule was made previously,” in using the opportunity for debate as an opportunity to pursue Harry Reid's personal goal to change a 200+ year old precedent, meant to assure the most noble of causes, that the minority in power always have an opportunity to be heard (see http://washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/2011/10/harry-reid-shames-worlds-greatest-deliberative-body). Of course, that “minority” tag is only respected by Progressives when applied to the party promoting socialism and Marxist tenets.

America, due to how Our Government was founded as Our servant, always has a chance to change this dictatorial dynamic by government, for Our Government's limited powers, to serve at Our Pleasure, were not granted irrevocably. Let us not ever forget that we can, on Our Own Will in Freedom, affect this government, revoking all aspects of the Constitution that lead government to believe we instituted a government to be the beast of burden this one has become, revoke whatever lead those in government to believe they have a right and authority to be a Den-Of-Thieves by legislative prerogative over the people. We The People can help our government cease from following the course of government-self-interest. It is time now, more than ever, that we return to the republican and conservative principles of a government that is in the constant pursuit of defending their greatest special interest, the smallest minority, the Individual, and that we no longer allow catering to special interest collective “groups” that wish to do away with individuality in the name of enriching the body of their collective and to cause a detriment to America.

“Private Property Rights” and “Capitalism” are synonyms of separate disciplines, the former legal, the latter economic, and their protection is bound together by the limits placed on the National Government by the 4^th and 5^th Amendments:

Amendment IV - “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable...seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place...the persons or things to be seized.” -- I emphasized that seizure is not married to search, to help appreciate the value Our Founders put on our property and property in rights, that this Amendment is a directive to government to carry out a certain and specific process prior to any taking, any “seizure,” of our private property, as a matter of establishing a legitimate government purpose, http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html

Amendment V - “...; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”-- ibid.

P.S. If you wish to apply a reading of the 4^th and 5^th Amendments as only applicable to the course of criminal proceedings, I direct you to the last clause of Article V of the germane Constitution, and how this was not related to the dates preceding subclause, http://changingwind.org/index/comment.php?comment.news.133.
