    I think the guy went into the belly of the beast and he has every right to be descriptive, if it’s true. Seeing as I wasn’t there, I have no reason not to believe him.

    If this isn’t entrapment it should be. And Thank You to the NLG. They have consistently had numerous observers protecting our rights by documenting anything out of the ordinary. We in the Occupy movement and America more generally are fortunate to have such allies in our fight for fairness for the 99%. Solidarity and I’ll [...]

    Look the other way sh1t DHS coordinated the sudden concern for public health that the cops used as an excuse to bust heads. They don’t seem half as concerned about the homeless people that were given healthcare from doctors volunteering in the Occupations. Obama is just as bad or worse for Occupy as a GOP [...]

    I grew up in the Pennsyltuckey section of Pennsylvania, and the love of a beautiful woman was the only thing that saved me from a Tea Party life. I commend your intelligence and morality that you were able to see truth while still being in the middle of red-state rurality. It is very hard to [...]

    I read it and could not agree with you more. Not all disabilities are visible or easy to show to SSDI or family and friends. And many know the pain of losing friends because of disability. Good luck, the Occupy movement needs voices like ours.

    I left a few links for you to try. Just remember that they say one “practices” meditation. Don’t get discouraged if nothing miraculous happens right away. And make sure to try the meditations when your pain isn’t at it’s most intense. I have a “migraine-like” headache all the time also, fortunately it isn’t light or [...]

    Here is a link that is a bit granola, but I like their guided meditations I’ve tried. http://www.meditationoasis.com/podcast/listen-to-podcast/ This one is pretty straight forward but also good guided meditations https://members.kaiserpermanente.org/redirects/listen/ This is a sound mixer that I open in a separate tab so that I can have babbling brook sounds on at the same time.

    Didn’t Bloomberg say that he had his own army, and I think he believes it. You and Hotflashcarol might read “Mindfulness In Plain English” by Bhante Henepola Gunaratana. It seemed to be the best overview. I’ll look up a couple links for guide meditations I have bookmarked and post them here.

    Like I said it raises more questions. I find that I cannot figure out any consistent logic in how force is used. Look into mindfulness, it has been my most useful tool.

    ThumbnailI find myself this morning, ”morning” being relative term because it is 4 PM, thinking Occupation, The First Amendment, and my personal physical/mental condition. I expect that I will raise more questions than produce answers here, but I feel that at times a more thorough personal introduction sometimes has the ability to promote more understanding. Like [...]

    I did forget to post the Facebook group for the NW bus to OWS. Here is the link:

    It’s O’dark thirty in the burrow and I have that all dressed up with no place to go feeling. I’ve found a group that has a sponsor for a bus from the Northwest to hit the big shindig and meet some of New York’s finest, not the cops in their ninja-turtle military assault gear but [...]
