OCCUPY L.A. RAIDED BY LAPD
Report by Jordan David
November 30, 2011
Shortly after midnight a militarized police contingent, working with ruthless efficiency, evicted the occupants of the park around L.A.’s City Hall. The operation included approximately 1,800 members of the LAPD, plus officers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Defiant protesters, hoping for an influx of supporters to stand in opposition to this massive show of force, were stymied when police shut down streets and highway off-ramps. Over 200 protesters were arrested.
While the mainstream media is largely reporting that the eviction was Peaceful, with the police acting in a restrained, professional manner, that was only true of the City Hall area, where the sectioned-off press
representatives were allowed to observe the takedown. Those brave enough to venture into the streets witnessed police swinging billy clubs at peaceful demonstrators simply because they refused to get onto the sidewalks.
The nationwide Occupy movement was launched in response to the growing income disparity between America’s rich and the working class. The protesters, who call themselves the 99%, recognize that the playing field is not level and that our politicians are owned by the 1%. It is a fact that the 400 wealthiest people in this country have more money then the bottom 150 million.
A complete report on the Occupy L.A. eviction, plus those in New York City and Denver, will appear in a future issue of HUSTLER Magazine.

If 400 people got more than 150m then what ties to the Federal Reserve are direct to those 400? That seems a slight amount to research with the comparative insight gleaned by connecting the cartel with the faces, names of these percentiles.
Why don’t the protesters picket and occupy the Fed? Did the Fed and the UN have direct foundation in organizing this monstrous Occupy world movement which has so far led to increased violence and tension between citizens and cops? Does the UN have any right to come in and quell unrest if too many disturbances lead to sustained threats against the stability of the government in the regions?
My opinion is to make peaceful demonstration occur with the effect required to forestall violent conflict in an act of preservation would be only to legalize cannabis related products while backing currency with its raw materials. This gives each state separate powers to rearrange their financing laws and habitation of banks, lends back the central bank of issue powers to be within the US Government for control instead of private buccaneers from elsewhere, gives you a pound of hemp or pot for a thousand hemp bucks, say instead of only being able to buy goods but not getting anything for the money itself (i.e., fiat money).

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.
