Americans across the country are on the march!

The 99%/OWS protest was predicted to incite other movements to challenge the status quo. That is beginning to happen.

The crimes committed by the Corporatacracy are manifold and cannot be recited with appropriate gravity in a few paragraphs here, nor in a few words by an OWS protestor with a microphone shoved in his face.

The Corporatacracy is a Hydra with tentacles that have reached into every corner of government and into our homes and businesses. There have been Corporatacracy sponsored attacks on our civil liberties (Patriots Act). The rule of habeas corpus has been thwarted allowing search and seizure prohibited by the Constitution. Irregulartimes.com advocates for the repeal of the Patriot’s Act.

Our airwaves have been usurped by the Corportacracy and have been used by them to propagandize for decades leaving the vast majority of the population misinformed or living in ignorance. Michael J. Copps, said: “As a member of the Federal Communications Commission, I often hear how fed up Americans are with the news media…Using the public airwaves is a privilege — a lucrative one — not a right, and I fear the F.C.C. has not done enough to stand up for the public interest. “ (June2, 2007) “This fall is a critical moment for the future of our airwaves. The FCC will soon review its media-ownership rules and faces massive industry pressure to do away with the remaining public-interest protections. And in Congress the ‘super committee’ charged with trimming the federal budget will weigh cuts to public media.” (Last quote from: http://act2.freepress.net/survey/Pittsburgh_owningourairwaves/)
