"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all...." -- Mario Savio, thanks to Nelson Send e-mail to Bart Cops Raid Occupy Oakland
Link Oakland police have begun arresting protesters at the sprawling Occupy Oakland encampment outside City Hall while hundreds of law-enforcement officers square off against protesters downtown in the second such raid of the tent city. Law-enforcement officers from numerous Bay Area agencies began arriving in force at 5 a.m. as a police helicopter flew overhead. Clad in armor and riot helmets, they stood in lines and surrounded the camp near the corner of 14th Street and Broadway adjacent to Frank Ogawa Plaza, where dozens of demonstrators have been camping to protest economic inequity and corporate greed. About 6 a.m., police began arresting protesters at an "interfaith tent" on the plaza, 40 minutes after police issued an order to disperse. They sang "We Shall Overcome" as they were handcuffed. Other officers have begun clearing out tents on the plaza and have set up metal barricades at the corner. The bulk of the protesters were outside the camp, milling about at 14th and Broadway, where some danced a few feet from police while others marched in a circle. A number of protesters are wearing bandanas, gas masks and goggles. What are the cops afraid of? Where is the NEED to break up this peaceful demonstration? Send e-mail to Bart The New York Times bestselling author of Armed Madhouse offers a globetrotting, Sam Spade-style investigation that blows the lid off the oil industry, the banking industry, and the governmental agencies that aren't regulating either. $16.73 This is the story of the corporate vultures that feed on the weak and ruin our planet in the process-a story that spans the globe and decades. For Vultures' Picnic, investigative journalist Greg Palast has spent his career uncovering the connection between the world of energy (read: oil) and finance. Palast shows how the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, World Trade Organization, and Central Banks act as puppets for Big Oil. With Palast at the center of an investigation that takes us from the Arctic to Africa to the Amazon, Vultures' Picnic shows how the big powers in the money and oil game slip the bonds of regulation over and over again, and simply destroy the rules that they themselves can't write-and take advantage of nations and everyday people in the process.

Things could get a lot, lot worse Link Joe Paterno being fired could be just the start of arguably the biggest downfall in the history of college athletics. Pittsburgh radio personality Mark Madden dropped what can only be called a bombshell, an announcement which could mean far more than the end of Joe Paterno's career. Madden stated that two "prominent columnists" are currently investigating a rumor that Jerry Sandusky's Second Mile Foundation was "pimping out young boys to rich (Penn State) donors." Madden said that Jerry Sandusky was forced to retire after 1998 allegations that he had "improper conduct with an underage male." Sandusky, thought by some to be Joe Paterno's successor at the time, abruptly and somewhat shockingly retired from coaching in 1999. It actually gets worse. Madden went on to say "When Sandusky quit, everybody knew; not just at Penn State. It was a very poorly kept secret around college football, in general." Wow - everybody knew? How many child-rape enablers are involved here? Plus it could get a lot worse for Joe Paterno. We've heard the term "horsing around" applied to this child's shower rape. There is a law in PA that says when you hear a child-rape report, you have to repeat the report to higher-ups USING THE SAME LANGUAGE. WHAT IF McCreary told Paterno about the shower rape, and then Paterno told the Athletic Director and Univ President it was "just some horsing around?" If Paterno changed the language, he's in major felony trouble. We don't know that Joe did that, but the term "horsing around" IS involved.

I like rape!" Link A Miami jury returned a $100 million verdict Thursday against a retired Catholic priest accused of sexually abusing dozens of boys over many years — an amount unlikely to ever be collected, but one a victim's attorney said sends a strong message to child predators. "It sets a standard," said attorney Jeff Herman, who represented Andres Sousana in the case against the priest, Neil Doherty. "Now we know what a jury thinks about these cases. No. 2, it sends a message that we hope will protect other children." Sousana told reporters he was just 14 when he ran away from home and wound up in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood in the 1980s. It was there that more than 20 people now claim Doherty trolled for victims wearing his priest's collar, gaining their trust and then plying the boys with drugs and alcohol and sexually abusing them. "What he did to me, it's unforgiveable. It's something I'm going to have to live with the rest of my life," said Sousana, 40. "I feel that justice has been served. It's just really satisfying that my voice has been heard." Dude, why sue an old priest with no money? You need to sue the Church because they have billions in assets. And if they say they don't have the cash, fly to Rome and pick out a few paintings my Raphael or Michaelangelo - I hear they sell real nice. But why do we demand accountability from legendary football coaches but Catholics are free to keep on raping and raping and raping and raping and raping and raping?

Send e-mail to Bart Subject: hey hey bean awhile After just seeing your first graphic on last issue's page - the Herman Cain one at the top, I had to write and say good luck and prepare for a backlash, I have no issue with it. I am not going to copy and paste this one, though. Yes Bart I don't have the Bartcop balls. Most of us have to say we sure are glad you got the big balls. htimesone2 I just print the truth and the truth is Herbie is hanging himself. Plus he brought up the lynching metaphor. Cain is so screwed he should ask Palin for advice. (Not a compliment) Send e-mail to Bart Subject: WMDs replay on Iran? Bart, YOU DO KNOW that our leaders, Democrats and Rethuglicans, have LIED us into several wars/conflicts over the years, don’t you? Yes, I am aware of that. But that doesn't mean Iran can't get hold of some nukes. Let’s see: Israel, India, Pakistan all have nuclear weapons, and the means to deliver them. So what is it about Iran that frightens everyone so? Is it Ahmadinejad? He has little real power and no control over Iran’s military. Why are we being told to fear another Middle Eastern country that poses no threat to the U.S.? We are supposed to believe that a failed used-car salesman is now arranging assassinations? Oh, please. Sjmcros Jack, I'm not worried about used car salesmen. I'm worried about the oil-rich bastards who are putting $100,000 down on assassinations to be carried out on US soil. I think a nuclear Iran is a very dangerous thing. Israel does too, and they don't need our permission to attack. Eventually, Iran will be able to hit the US with their missles. Do you think we should wait until then to confront them? If you find yourself in a life-and-death fight, why wait for the other guy to load his gun before attacking him? Subject: WMDs replay on Iran? Bart, you wrote: "Iraq had no WMDs, but Iran certainly does - and they're close to getting nukes." According to the neocons and only the neocons. Why do you believe the neocons? Mark Mark, I'm believing the IAEA. Plus, Iran keeps bragging that they're close. They claim what, 9,000 centrifuges are working now? How close should they get before we pay attention? And what if our "they're not close" talking heads are wrong? Gambling is bad when it's life-and-death. Send e-mail to Bart How crazy is Herbie Cain?

Send e-mail to Bart Will Newt be their nominee? He's even with Romney in the polls Link Two new polls show serial cheater Newt Gingrich surging to double digits, replacing Sherman Cain near the top with gun-grabber Mitt Romney. A poll shows 22 percent saying they now support Gingrich. That puts Gingrich in a statistical dead heat with Romney, the gay-lover. In another survey, Gingrich rose to the lead, 10 points ahead of Flipper. Gingrich's gain comes at the expense of Herbie Cain, whose support fell by 11 points when it was revealed he tried to rape several women. The poor republicans - they're in so much trouble, their best bet is a gay-loving, tax-raising gun-grabber who's into Obamacare for the whole country. Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Exxon Valdez - not drunk skipper Hey Bart, You're site is my favorite!! Thank you for what you do.

It literally was an accident waiting to happen. It's just like BP going on the cheap...but times 10! The 'drunk skipper' is a phony scapegoat explanation offered by Exxon.
