Occupy 10/15/2011

I wanted to do the research on 'Occupy' today but found when I woke up this morning I was more drawn to research George Soros????????  Anyways I guess a good explanation for that is that I didn't much like finding out recently that Soros is funding Occupy Wall Street.  Go figure ey?  

I still think the Soros blog is the most important and I think once you get into it, you'll see why.  I'm off for a nap now as I am overwhlemed with the goings on today.  Please check out the Occupy stuffs first and then be patient with the Soros blog and learn as much as you can. 

LP&S,

Occupy Wall Street protesters have been camped out in and trashing Zuccotti Park for weeks. Zuccotti Park is a very nice private park, right in the middle of Manhattan.

Zuccotti Park is owned by Brookfield Office Properties, which is part of Brookfield Asset Management, worth at least $150 billion.

Brookfield Office Properties

Mayor Bloomberg has said he can do nothing about the protest unless the park owners (Brookfield Properties) ask the protesters to be evicted. Brookfield issued a statement that it was okay with them if the protesters stayed on their private property.
NYPD: Only Landlord Can Evict Occupy Wall Street Protesters From Zuccotti Park

That’s pretty nice of a big evil corporation to let protesters sleep, smoke weed and go number one and two on its nice private park in downtown Manhattan. Especially since the protesters are protesting big evil corporations. (But then again, President Obama expressed solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street protesters, Nancy Pelosi said “God Bless Them,” and Bill Ayers is writing their collective Occupy Wall Street demands. So someone loves them.)

Hmm. Wonder what that’s about.

Maybe Mayor Bloomberg has some inside track on what’s going on here? After all, Bloomberg’s longtime shack-up girlfriend, Diana L. Taylor, is on the Board of Directors of Brookfield Properties, the company that owns Zuccotti Park. (She’s also served as the CFO of the Long Island Power Authority.)

Excerpt:

The mutual savings movement spread to the United States, with the first New York City institution opening in 1819. Again, the emphasis was on promoting thrift among the laboring class, a panacea that was believed to cure any manner of social problems. These early savings banks were generally only opened a few hours a week and often shared offices with commercial banks where the mutuals deposited their money. As the funds in these so-called 'thrifts' increased, however, the ties to charity were gradually loosened. They became full-fledged businesses, housed in their own impressive buildings, run by full-time managers. The Civil War helped to accelerate this transition, and soon there was little to separate savings institutions from other community banks. Thrifts were just as willing to accept deposits from middle-class businessmen as they were from laborers.
