In both cases the mayors backed down and took a total 360 to the issue.
They are ignoring complaints from the local residents and businesses and telling the police to back down.
I know Bloomberg's reason. He does Obama's bidding and wants to be Sec. of the Treasury when Geithner leaves. For some yet untold reason George Soros aslso had a meeting with NYPD Chief Ray Kelly last week. Apparently spooky dude told Kelly how things work in the globalist world.

As to Oakland, I haven't followed every occupy squatter city but I suspect Gov. Brown is betting his political career on doing Obama's bidding as well.

Again it was the government not Wall Street which is exactly what Bloomberg said.

And who also were politicians in the government that stood by it all?

High Flying Wall Street Banksters

The banks were forced by the politicians.

Now, put your tin foil hat on for this next sentence.

They know and knew then that what was going to happen and is happening is now is not MATHEMATICALLY possible to sustain and is all part of a grand design.

Unless some people want to really believe that politicians and banker politicians are really looking out for the little American's LOL.

No, this is all planned by design, and the accounting that the government has access to is more in depth and concise than any one of us have. They have it all at their disposal.

As time goes on, it is going to get more interesting

You can count on it!

Edit : Think about all the cd's and investments that these people were pawing off on foreign countries and now look where the global economy is because of this.
I agree. And these protests will amount to nothing but violence.
Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

There are several similarities between most of the major protests ... including the Denver protest. What you mentioned and another is that Denver and Oakland both have new police chiefs and agitators were present that seemed out of place, provoking violence with the police and the other more peaceful protesters were trying to stop the agitators. Another interesting note is that the Mayor of Oakland was at the White House the day before the violence started.

Financial Weapons of Mass Destruction!
I assume you meant CDO's not cd's. The economy of United States is currently in the process of collapse. I'm sure you already know about the Trillions in derivatives that were just transferred from investment firms to FDIC accounts, making them insured by the American tax payers, These derivatives are toxic ... And that MP Global just filed for bankruptcy ...

Do you have a link for that? I'm not doubting your information but would like to read it myself.

Oh really? Just when you think this administration cannot get any more corrupt. Why isn't the press all over this?

Thanks.

Cr*p, that is a seriously depressing article. And to think once again that Glass-Stegal would have stopped this too.

Does this mean that money is more safe in stocks than in an FDIC bank account or just go to precious metals? Man oh man, I didn't buy enough Reynolds Wrap for the tin foil hat I need for this one.
