Regarding the “OCCUPY WALL STREET” Movement
It started when a bunch of college kids, responding to a tweet, descended on Wall Street. They stayed, and the crowd grew. Now there are thousands of them, and they’re not just in New York City anymore. Nor is the movement still limited to undergrads. In a nation where 1% of the population controls almost half of the wealth, these protesters have chosen to call themselves the 99 Percent. They are the working class, the poor, the disenfranchised. They represent everyone excluded from a political process that has been hijacked by corporations and multimillionaires. The 99 Percent want their government back. This looks and feels like something different. It feels organic. It reminds me of the 1960s’ antiwar movement. A long-simmering undercurrent of unrest in our country is now bubbling to the surface. Our politicians ignore this movement at their peril.
As Bob Dylan said, “The times they are a-changin’.”

Dear Mr. Flynt,
I am really hopeful that you read this comment. I have to be honest, I did not know much about you until this morning at about 3am when I watched your movie on HBO in the hotel I am staying at. Although the execution is a little strange, I appreciate what you have done to defend free speech and freedom. I am writing this to ask for your help. My brother was found dead on an indian reservation in California a year and a half ago. Due to a lack of due diligance by the reservation and the police, my brothers death was deamed a suicide due to a lack of evidence to prove murder. My mother and I have been fighting since the day he died to have the police re-examine his case but to no avail. We have been trying to have his case file turned over to a private investigator but none of the lawyers we have reached out to in California will help us. My mother has written countless letters to senators, congressmen, even the president pleading for someone to help us. Each reply letter she receives is a nicely worded letter of condolances and an explaination that there office has no juristiction. Mr. Flynt, I don’t know what the hell has given me the notion that you might be able to help me but I am asking. My brother was a good man, a vet, and the comedy relief of my family. My brother when he was in Iraq, would give the children there shoes, clothes, candy anything to make them smile because he felt so sorry for them. He was a good man! We all miss him terribly. My family hates knowing his life has been belittled because some asshole killed him on that reservation knowing they would have a system to protect them and allow them to get away with it. If you have the interest, and a lot of time for us to tell you the tale…..I would be grateful for any help or insight you might be able to offer. This has to be the weirdest thing I have ever done but heres hoping you can help.
Respectfully…..Victoria

The Occupy Wall Street movement is long overdue!
For far to long Americans have been complacent and willing participants in their own social, cultural, physical, spiritual, economic and political demise.
It is not surprising that this movement is comprised largely of younger people.
They have nothing to lose, because they have nothing!
They have everything to gain because they nothing!
If they are under 30 they have been economically disenfranchised since the day they were born!
If they are under 40 they have been fed industrial food and have been choking on the industrial waste of failed technology since the day they were born!
If they are under 50 they have never voted for a political candidate who wasn’t a wholly-owned subsidiary of Washington DC, Inc!
If they are under 60 they have been watching their way of life and this country’s moral, cultural and spiritual compass slip away since the day they were born!
If we don’t get up off the couch SOON and DEMAND our country back; and DEMAND our liberties back; and DEMAND control of our government and the political process…as our forefathers intended it to be, then all will be lost within the next decade!
The time is NOW….or it will soon be NEVER!

Well, I just go to work everyday and don’t complain. I make less than $30,000.00 a year and I am 32 years old, 18 months ago I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl, two months before she was born I bought an 80 year old bank owed home for $16,000.00 and worked on it every night for four months till it was ready to live in. Since then I have been going to work everyday so my girlfriend that is not high maintenance doesn’t have to work. Anyways, what I am trying to say is that, opportunity comes to people when they are ready for it. Before the great life I presently have, I was unemployed and complained about the economy, jobs, and the future for America. But, once I heard “I think I am pregnant”, I change the direction of my life in an instant. If Americans would open their eyes and quit bitching about everything we would be back on top in no time, there are opportunities everywhere. Larry, I bought x21.xxx because I thought it was a good domain. But, If I has another $100.00 to spend I would buy left.xxx and photoshop a picture of Obama, Pelois, and Dale Kildee all naked with their private parts blurred out. Why Dale Kildee because he is our rep in the 5th district of Michigan, but is retiring and his son Dan Kildee is running for his seat. Dan Kildee has made Flint, Michigan even worse with his Land Bank program and I might just get into politics just to keep him out of office. Okay well that is the end of my rant. In God We Trust, Right.
Contact me if you got questions.

Larry, If you could get me a VIP Pass and a room at the Hard Rock Hotel for the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, I would take a bullet for you. I need a vacation and can scrap together the airfare. I know you got an extra ticket…. Please.

It is nice to see Larry support the 99%, considering he is probably in the 1%. However his position on condom use for adult porn stars is badly and sadly lacking. Most of gay porn uses condoms and so should Larry.

Its really weird out there. Alot of the younger folks were college students. It’s so strange in Cali because evil Gov Brown clamped down on college funding shutting down campuses for the summer, eliminating staff and classes. I know how it is cause I went back to college and see how the classes load up where students are fighting for a seat in class. I see campuses have no classes in Summer and all that but then in the same breathe he goes and gives college monies to illegals? This is whacko and off balance. If you can’t give to your own friggin kids in America why give to a bunch of illegals? Does that make any sense? Here he is depriving American students, the disabled, and cutting people already suffering like mad but he goes and acts like some sort of hero for Mexicans. Mexico has universal care. Mexico has plenty of schools their people can go to. They don’t want to go~! They come to America because they hear that they can either get free money from gov, have better housing like section 8 for free, or earn more money. Ok fine. But there r Americans without homes, without section 8, without disability who need it, who are hurting, students who need a degree to learn anything that can be useful to society, etc…Why give all Iraqi children a laptop (quoted by State Dept.) when u haven’t even given American kids their laptops? What the hell is it in these politician’s minds that think that giving away everyone else’s skin is going to do something good in the long run. It’s as if they have some kind of secret wish to make everyone a sacrificial Jesus, giving their flesh and linen away bleeding while they enrich others with their hard earned skin. Is it a virtue to force others to suffer for one’s ideal? MAYBE. Ok so Brown has now caused all these students to suffer unecessarily and his stimulus would be to give more jobs to the Chinese while people go without jobs, while people slave for a few dollars, while people are desperate, homeless without enough money for 3 good meals a day, not enough to buy insurance, health insurance, and the like. FUCK YOU BROWN YOU DICK!

It is so difficult to find people like Larry Flynt, MLK, JFK, Malcolm X, and Marcus Garvey. Men who are not afraid to shake up the establishment because they can see farther into the future than most of us. The establishment is ruining our lives while we think that we are living our lives. It truly makes me sad. Mr. Flynt you are the BEST!

From: Bob Levin, Investigative Journalist/FBI Whistleblower
I’ve been sanctioned and outed for over a decade and would like to secure your contact information to discuss business. Sometime after the next two months I will be starting over either in the Northwest, Canada or I’ll be left with the less favorable option of a defection to try and reclaim a life while knowing full well that crows are black everywhere. Hope to hear from you. Best wishes and mozel; Bob

I cannot overstate the importance of an insurance agent. Personally, I feel an independent insurance agent is the way to go mainly because of the flexibility they offer when it comes to the various insurance policies.

A Two Million Unity Rally Aimed at Gathering Together America’s Disenfranchised Middle Class, including labor unions, the unemployed, and progressive groups; to address various urgent issues afflicting them including: unemployment, anti-labor laws, women’s rights, gay rights, separation of church and state and fraudulent bank foreclosures, is currently in the planning stages by various power movements.
