Gov. Rick Scott

Gov. Rick Scott it seems, is full of shit.

"No economist can tell us where the economy is going," said Scott, who paid $170,000 to Arduin Laffer Moore Econometrics President Donna Arduin to craft his "7-7-7" plan.
Democrats jumped on Scott's comments, saying his jobs plan "was just another fraud."
"After days of back-tracking on his 700,000 jobs pledge, Scott now claims he doesn't have to create any jobs at all," Florida Democratic Party spokeswoman Brannon Jordan said. "This positive attitude about Florida's unemployment is sure to help his rock-bottom poll numbers."

The era of "politics" is over...... It's time for a better, higher way of life.

Are you worth it?

Are you willing?

OWS More Popular Than Tea Party

OWS more popular than Tea Party
"...it benefits in its incipient stages by venting a broad array of common frustrations."

Common.

This is the key word to changing what we don't accept.

WE the people....

Our suffering is common.

Our outrage is common.

Our disgust is common.

Our awakening is common.

Our needs are common.

There need not be another "platform", another "agenda", another "party"....  

There needs to be genuine, personal accountability.

We need to start taking mirrors to the occupations.....

We need people to give a shit.  With NO PRICETAG attached.

I don't care how much money the governor of Florida earns.... as long as it is honest money.  Books, speaking engagements, movies.... WTF ever.... But NOT my tax dollars!!!!  Not bribes and pay-offs!!! 

Government should be a duty, not a career.  Consider our military.....  If anybody should be getting big tax bucks its people in harms way....!

I don't care how rich you are, this is (supposed to be) the land of milk and honey, the American Dream....

Our common enemy is not money, its corruption.

Why would you pay someone to "care" about you???

We're being taxed to death.........

There's got to be a better way.

But it has to be free.  

Lobbyists should be outlawed.

Campaigning should be outlawed.

There are PLENTY of jobs to be created, but it would cost those already in POWER!!!  It's all about greed, not patriotism.  It's all about greed, and fear, not capitalis...... Or are they one in the same....?  If not, then what's the difference?  Think about it.  There is an answer.

Students should interview those who wish to run for office, write an extensive essay on them, publish it and then leave it to the people.

There should be no money involved in politics!

Certainly not tax dollars.

How many movies have we watched about this shit.... And we assume that because it's a movie that there is no reality behind it???

Come on!

How stupid do you insist on being?

Big corporations own our "government" and we all know it.

This is what occupy is all about.....

This is what we ALL have in common...!

it benefits in its incipient stages by venting a broad array of common frustrations.

The World is Watching

The World is Watching....

Iran’s top leader said Wednesday that the wave of protests reflects a serious crisis that will ultimately topple capitalism in America. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed the United States is now in a full-blown crisis because its “corrupt foundation has been exposed to the American people.”

So all racism, bigotry and simple-minded hatred aside.... How far off base are "our enemies"....?  I mean, look at what they see.  Stand 'over there' and look at us.....  What do you truly, genuinely see...?
Many of them are fighting a purer fight for freedom than we are....  And "we" are the standard for freedom!
It's not anti-American, it's not anti-capitalist, it's not anti-religion even..... It's anti-slavery.... Anti-stupidity... Anti-indifference........  

The world is watching us.... Are we watching them?

Scott Maxwell on Florida's Failed Politics

Scott Maxwell - Florida's Failed Policies...

We must start by realizing that Florida's economy is worse than America's in general. Our unemployment rate alone is significantly higher — 10.7 percent in Florida, compared with 9.1 nationwide.  

Read the article....  Pay attention.

It's not about politics, its about waking the fuck up and paying attention.  

Stop whining until you educate yourself.

Stop following the ass in front of you and LOOK UP!  Get your own bearings.

THAT is what Occupy is all about.  Waking up.  Taking your responsibility as a living human being seriously.

Do you enjoy "the freedoms" of this country?

Do you enjoy all that this magical place has for us?

Do you enjoy being able to make as much money as you want, and spend it how you want to?

Do you think its right for somebody bigger than you to manipulate the game so that they always win, while they insist that you have the same opportunities that they do?

It's not socialism we want....  It's not capitalism.... It's not better politics....

It's freedom.

Only YOU can ensure your own freedom, by being responsible.

Corporations and our government are no longer acting responsibly.... Because their parents (We the People...) let them get away with murder time and time again.... and now they terrorize us into submission.

What are you gonna do...?

"We're all hopeful that the economy will turn around," said Senate President Mike Haridopolos, "but at this point I don't see it happening."

It's not the army who's gonna win this "battle for freedom" you dumbasses.... Its YOU.

It was always you.......

gambling insurance and development groups fuel Florida Republicans

The Republican Party of Florida had its strongest fundraising quarter this year, pulling in $5.5 million between July and October. It's a veritable who's-who of special interests who seek business out of the state Legislature, Cabinet and governor's mansion, which are all controlled by Republicans...

This is the reason for Occupy Wall Street.... This is why....  

These are the corporations that hold the strings to your country, your state, you life....  What are you gonna do about it?

Electric Utilities Back State's Challenge of Federal Air Pollution Rules

Posted Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 08:10 pm
TAMPA (2011-10-11) -
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has joined 24 other states in challenging proposed federal air pollution standards. And now some local power companies are now backing the move.

The federal EPA was set to enact its first-ever national standards for mercury emissions from coal and oil-fired power plants. Florida's generators would have had to reduce their emissions of nitrogen oxides, or ozone. Long-term exposure to ozone has been shown to increase respiratory illnesses and deaths.

Progess Energy spokesman Scott Sutton says says EPA proposed rules are much stricter than what the company anticipated.

"In fact, it included a 50 percent decrease in the amount of emissions allocated to the state of Florida," says Sutton. "And so we support the attorney general in her efforts to have the EPA revisit the rule, in order to make sure that there's enough time to do public comment, since it was such a dramatic change from when it was first proposed."

Sutton says the Progress Energy has already installed about one billion dollars' worth of equipment intended to decrease air emissions from its Florida power plants. He says any further costs of reducing air pollution would have to be passed on to the utility's customers.

"...any further costs of reducing air pollution would have to be passed on to the utility's customers."

WTF.... Is this punishment???  WE the customers didn't build the shit in the first place!

How do we fight back America???  

Pay?  

Breathe shit?  

Make excuses for being sick?

Ever heard of "off grid living".....?  (I don't endorse this link, I just googled it)

You're a slave, and you'll do exactly what you're told.  Breathe shitty air, pay more for shitty air.... SOMEBODY'S making money off of people's misfortune.

Misfortune?  Did I say misfortune?  I apologize... I meant STUPIDITY.

Occupy..... This is what its all about.....

Boiling Frog

Boiling frog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A submerged frog:
The boiling frog story is a widespread anecdote describing a frog slowly being boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability of people to react to significant changes that occur gradually.[1] According to contemporary biologists the premise of the story is not literally true; a frog submerged and gradually heated will jump out.[2][3] However, some 19th century research experiments suggested that the underlying premise is true, provided the heating is gradual enough.[4][5]

Are you scared America?

You should be......

Sometimes, fear is healthy....

I AM NOT MOVING short film....

I AM NOT MOVING is a short film for NOW.  Everyone needs to watch it.  It is sobering.
Awareness is so much more than just "being spiritual".  Awareness is BEING AWARE.  Always.  In every moment.  For every reason, for every purpose.
Most dumbasses don't know what's going on in their own neighborhoods, muchless in OUR COUNTRY.  And by dumbasses I refer to those who read this and those who don't.... to family, to friends, to connections.... to followers, to subscribers, to circles.... to contacts old and new, to coworkers, bosses..... classmates, teachers.... to Americans in general.  
This is one of the greatest purposes of social media - to have control and spread the truth UNCENSORED.  
Are you ready?
Are you ready to learn what it TRULY means to be an American?
Are you ready to learn the TRUE meaning of freedom?  Freedom is NOT "God bless our troops overseas who are fighting for freedom!!!" 
Are you ready to not only learn what responsibility is, but pick yours up and carry it?
Or are you exactly what "foreigners" think you are.....?
How long do you think you can hide and pretend that this is "someone else" or "somewhere else"???
This is NOW right outside your doorstep, right in your backyard.  This is now YOUR issue.  And that's not a question.
