FDL Book Salon Welcomes Nomi Prins, Black Tuesday

By: Cynthia Kouril Saturday November 12, 2011 1:59 pm

This book is a fast and easy read so you will absorb a ton of well-researched factual knowledge without losing your horse, crawling through the desert, or emptying your canteen. It’s a fun, easy way to learn and understand a whole lot of important information that banksters would prefer you never know and delivered in a way that exposes the hypocrisy of many of the proposed “cures” for our current economic woes. It really is a terrific learning tool and delivers information in a form that even Members of Congress should be able to understand.

OWS – The Legal Working Group

By: Cynthia Kouril Monday October 31, 2011 4:15 pm

Being the law geek around the Lake, I went to introduce myself to the Legal Working Group and was given an interview by one of its members, Janos Marton. Mr. Marton works at a law firm by day and spends his off hours helping OWS. The firm members who know about his activity have been supportive.

OWS – This Is Just the Beginning

By: Cynthia Kouril Friday October 28, 2011 11:30 am

So, I paid a visit to Occupy Wall Street on Thursday October 27. It was NOT what the media would lead you to believe. First of all, a miracle has happened, a miracle that may have been caused by the absence of white shirted police supervisors; there were tents up yesterday.

OWS Is Coming Home to Roost: March to Homes of MOTU

By: Cynthia Kouril Tuesday October 11, 2011 8:54 am

A group calling itself 99 New York is going to stage a march today in support of Occupy Wall Street. It includes UnitedNY, Strong Economy for All Coaltition, NY Communities for Change, the Working Families Party and a bunch of other community organizations. They plan to march to the homes of several Masters of the Universe and present oversized symbolic checks representing the additional monies that will begin to line the pockets of the 1% once the New York State “millionaire’s tax” expires the end of this year.

Occupy Everywhere Anthem

By: Cynthia Kouril Sunday October 9, 2011 5:10 pm

From the time of the revolution that gave birth to our nation we have been chronicling our political shifts in song. Remember Yankee Doodle Dandy? Did you know it was originally sung by the British Army mocking the disheveled appearance of the Revolutionary Army, essentially calling them DFHs. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Contrast How Occupy Wall Street and Right Wing Protestors Are Treated by NYC

By: Cynthia Kouril Monday September 26, 2011 7:15 am

Ray Kelly’s NYPD has treated the Occupy Wall Street protests in a manner glaringly different from how they treated a protest organized by Liz Cheney. Liz Cheney’s protest against holding terror trials in NYC was greeted with open arms, but Occupy Wall Street has been walled off and maced.

The Bankster Friend’s Warning Shot

By: Cynthia Kouril Monday September 19, 2011 4:30 pm

The Sunday edition of a dead tree newspaper is the most important edition of the week. Some people only read the Sunday paper, drawn in by the magazine section and the comics. When the editor decides to make a particular story front page of the Sunday edition, that editor is looking for maximum eyeballs on the story.

Yesterday’s New York Post, the flagship of Rupert Murdoch’s American fleet of media outlets, had a full page, front page, article with huge photo, of a heretofore unfamous Assistant Attorney General working for New York State Attorney General Eric Schniederman.
