A war protest marking 10 years of fighting in Afghanistan turned into a larger event than past rallies at Pine and Broadway as a large SPD and almost equally large media contingent joined the march down Pine to meet the ongoing Occupy Seattle protests at Westlake Park.
On Friday, CHS reported on the anti-war protest and the City of Seattle’s decision to make the Occupy Seattle protests “legal.”
Friday’s rally and march was attended by around 250 to 300 marchers. No acts of violence or arrests were reported. A small fleet of TV helicopters hovered above and filled the Hill with the sounds of modern media and civil unrest. More pictures, below.
The Occupy Seattle efforts continues downtown. Saturday, a noon rally followed by a march is expected draw some of the largest crowds yet.
Mystery Babylon
The root reason for the, “Occupy er’s” and the “99% er’s”. Gaze upon it if you dare. Maybe this will help make the danger of fiat money clear. Imagine you and me are setting across from each other. We create enough money to represent all of the world’s wealth. Each one of us has one SUPER Dollar in front of him. You own half of everything and so do I. I’m the government though. I get bribed into creating a Central Bank. You’re not doing what I want you to be doing so I print up myself eight more SUPER Dollars to manipulate you with. All of a sudden your SUPER Dollar only represents one tenth of the wealth of the world! That isn’t the only thing though. You need to get busy and get to work because YOU’VE BEEN STIFFED with the bill for the money I PRINTED UP to get YOU TO DO what I WANTED.
That to me represents what has been happening to the economy, and us, and why so many of our occupations just can’t keep up with the fake money presses.
P.S. No matter how much real money people can put together to build their countries the way they want, there are those that can print up what ever it takes to dictate their way.
