Then we speak with members of Occupy Charlotte who are preparing to organize demonstrations and protests at the Democrat Party’s National Convention on September 3rd.

We also talk with a member of Occupy Wall Street, a splinter group of which is currently Occupying Pacifica station WBAI-FM in NYC, demanding that more programming be devoted to the Occupy movement. Another case of generational dispute and self-immolation on The Left.

The Occupy movement is entering their “Arab Spring”. But this is America, where money, entertainment, celebrity worship and general political ignorance rules– so, if the Occupy movement is to move out of small pockets of protest and add up to something truly revolutionary it has to focus, communicate with other groups and develope a functional structure.

Comments on the 1% and their repressive cops and the future of the Occupy movement.

Homeland Security is Watching You…

Guests today are Sara from Occupy Atlanta and Eric Robertson, political director of Teamsters Local 728 in Atlanta– discussing a union-busting, anti-protest bill speeding it’s way through the corporate controlled Georgia Legislature– All part of an anti-labor, and more universally, an anti-dissent trend at all levels of government.

It’s going to be A VERY HOT SUMMER!!!!

Announcements of actions and reports of new restrictive, anti-protesting laws passed all over the country… THEY are getting ready for the protests of their lives–Nato and G-8 meetings in Chicago, both political conventions, and all the rest of institutionalized greed and power– the big test is what happens this year.

When people want more than they need and try to take what you have, you have to resist.

You can’t have wealthy people without poor people– it’s a fact of life. And it is way past time to lighten the load of the rich and transfer what they have to those who have nothing or very little.

This is what the Occupy movement is all about.

A conversation about the “maximum wage”– a lid on what any one person can accumulate– with Sam Pizzigotti, editor of Too Muchl, a weekly magazine about income inequality (associate with The Institute For Policy Studies).

A report on the violence in Oakland, an eviction in Miami and huge actions planned for March, April and May…

Ghandi in India, Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement… The time has come to move beyond horizontal action and create a dynamic, focused movement with elected, respected leaders. Otherwise the Occupy movement will dissolve into purposeless anarchy and violence.

State of The Union? No change– government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.

Obama says all the right things about leveling the playing field; chance he will actually do anyting about it? Zero.

Romney “earns” 21 million dollars in 2010 and pays 13.9 percent in taxes and that’s “legal”. Pelosi and Boehner make hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock-market profit on insider information and that’s “Legal”.

You can’t pay your mortage? Go sleep in the street. We need the Occupy movement now more than we ever did.

We’re all terrorists now– a discussion, with David Swanson, of the NDAA (National Defense Appropriations Act)–signed into law on New Year’s Eve… It certifies President Barack Obama’s secret powers of torture, indefinite detention without trial and the ability to wage perpetual war everywhere–including our own country!

Say goodbye to the Constitution, it’s now merely a historical document. The country is still ours though–time to take it back.

If You Borrow Money, You Should Pay it Back, Right?

Maybe not. …an interview with Andrew Ross, NYU Professor and originator of a movement to radically adjust, restructure, or, possibly, to refuse to pay back student loan debt–now estimated to be over a trillion dollars (more than credit card debt).

Careful boys and girls, the Democratic Party is not your friend- a discussion about co-optation and it’s fatal results. Today we talk about building the 99% movement so it continues to expand into a powerful, outside populist force in America.
