mixed review 6-22-12 (THE REAL OCCUPATION OF WALL STREET)


THE 1st ITEM OF THE NIGHT IS: Stacy Herbert & Max Keiser occupy wall street.


Who is the real occupy Wall Street? Max Keiser talks about; wage slashing, off shore banker fraud, money counterfeiting, forced lowering of interest rates, 2% of counterfeiting unaccountability, fractional reserve, the IMF, and AUSTARITY, this is a true occupation of wall street. With one simple demand, NO MORE PONSY SCAME ECONOMY!




It is clear, the verdict is in, and Wall Street is responsible for the Global Economic crises. How? The inverted pyramid archetype and all its earthly forms, the use of minimal collateral to leverage as much credit as possible: the backing of all the lawns with only a fraction of their value in deposits, instituting of the FDIC as a tax funded insurance base for fraudulent banking processes, credit default swaps, and cooking books with “phantom wealth." In this interview Via Broadband says, "I think we can talk about austerity as a kind of a fraudulent concept." why? "We’re tightening our belts to pay somebody else’s debt." So there you have it, the occupy wall street movement might be history  at this point,(for all I know) but the truth will never die, Wall Street Banks are responsible for the economic bubble and its subsequent explosion!



The 2ed ITEM OF THE NIGHT IS: An esserpt from d.a.levy's SUBURBAN MONASTERY DEATH POEM, & a video of the people protesting bank of America.

What follows is not my own writing, but a poem by D.A.Levy.


i cld try to tell you
about the hopeless despair
ingrained in ghetto walls
& police brutality or police stupidity
or police reality is more than just words
to define situation
by students looking for a cause.
the situations exist & continue
quietly in the dark while the
protest goes on in daylight -
both unheard.
Really
the police try to protect
the banks - and everything else
is secondary
during the riots
i watched the news
& didnt pick sides for a change
i just sat wondering about all
the living room revolutionaries
safe in the suburbs
who cheered everytime someone
was shot or a building went up
in smoke
ten blocks away
it was real
thousands of tourists
arrived




THE 3ed ITEM OF THE NIGHT IS: MODERN MONEY MECHANICS (official Federal reserve document).


The expressed purpose of Modern Money Mechanics is to explain how money is created through the "fractional reserve system." The booklet was produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, so being produced by the bankers, themselves- it is a great revelation of the inherent corruption in the money production machine. It is my hope that through the reading of this fine text you will be able to wield the words of power agents its self. This is how the idea works: you pick a passage from the text,


"Money's real value can be measured only in terms of what it will buy. Therefore, its value varies inversely with the general level of prices. Assuming a constant rate of use, if the volume of money grows more rapidly than the rate at which the output of real goods and


services increases, prices will rise,"(p.2 MMM) then you take than you fallow the statement to its logical conclusion- like this- so the fact that the average car coasted about $640 in 1930 and is now somewhere around $28,400, is by your own admission due to the fact that you continue to print more money than we need? See. As a side note in case you don't think inflation matters because wages also go up then think again, inflation affects your savings regardless if your income increases, and sense the 70s the average income has not increased or even keep pace with inflation (for more on this check out Richard Wollf's Capitalism hits the fan).





The point is that when The Federal Bank of Chicago prints a publication that’s state that they control the printing of money in order to limit inflation, while outside their office windows, in the real world, inflation is going wild in the streets, this can be safely considered an admission of guilt. So you see, by carefully reading documents like Modern Money mechanics, and using their words to open the political discourse, we can gain more democratic power. I would like to see this done all kinds of legal and policy documents like, the financial services modernisation act, citizen united v federal election commission, CISPA, ect. In this way we will all begin to engage "our" democracy more directly.



If you have trouble understanding the Modern Money Mechanics document, then here’s a helpful YouTube.

THE 4th ITEM OF THE NIGHT IS: The Monetary Reform Act.



So hopefully by now it's clear to you that Wall Street is to blame for credit bubbles and the economic catastrophes that follow, but you might be wondering what we can do about it. Well, there is two options that I know of, the first is the Monetary Reform Act, and Dennis Kucinich the [NEED] act, both of which call for an end to the Fed and it's the ever inflationary fractional reserve system. I encourage you to read both of them and then contact your congressmen & congresswoman, and


Express your support for both or either one of them. One thing is for shore perpetual monetary inflation is not sustainable, and something must be done about it.



Monetary Reform Act

The [NEED] act

The Mixed review 4-11-12 (WHERE'S THE SWARM)



The Mixed review is a record of my nightly readings. I hope it provides a resource for your own projects and projections into the intricacies of our world.


The First Item tonight is: mothers last word to her son, washington phillips

The music of Washington Phillips is hunting, ethereal, and downright soothing. While all music recorded in his day has that gritty finish Washington Phillips music, a treasure, shimmers through that grit in a way that is hard to understand even while hearing it. The music of Washington Phillips is mystical but not in the way that Gregorian chant or buddest throat singing is, the mysticism of Washington Phillips is the mysticism of a decidedly dead pan traveling preacher man with a fundamentally simple message of grace and eternal life.

Playin' a home made Dolceola twinkling' like the stars of haven he brought the light of the Lord to the people just about a century ago. When I stop and think about this unique voice preserved for all time I really feel tariffed strait to my soul. It’s as if while Washington sings about his eternal life with Jesus his electrified voice is enjoying eternal life with us, the people of the future. It really is a wanders feeling! To me.

The Secent Item tonight is: # PHILOSOPHY /// Pulse Demons by Eugene Thacker (from LĂ©opold Lambert FUNAMBULIST blog)



Un-like its name sake (of Merzbow) Eugene Thacker's Pulse Demons is decidedly disciplined, univocal, self-posseted, concise, and a pleasant read. Thacker asks "are swarms the ‘content’ of music, or are they the music itself?" The swarm here is the signaler identity of a multiplicity of frequencies.


In this essay Thacker demonizes the swarm, but to be fare he wasn't the first to do it, as he mentions Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari first made this assertion in their book A Thousand Plateaus. How Thacker's analysis of the Swarm differs from theirs is his focus on the sound of the swarm and how this sound comes from no-where or to be more precise from no-particular-place.


In the spirit of this claim Thacker uses a myriad of examples from Black-Metal, to Kant's sublime, to Xenakis’ chaos math, to Badiou numerical being all wrapped up in a single voice. But in case you think Thacker is making a Demonology out of the whole world I must also point out that he accredits the original one/many to the trinity: " God as Creator creates many creatures. As creatures they are at once linked to God through the act of creation...But, as creatures, they are also separated from God in being mortal and rooted in the changes associated with temporality."


Ultimately Thacker identifies the swarm as characteristically imminent as opposed to emanating, By this he means that the voice of a swarm doesn't emanate from one center but imminently resonates from no-where- in-particular.


Here's the online version of the text brought to you by THE FUNAMBULIST & myself:

The therd Item of the night is: my faveret Derrida quote

  “must not structure have a genesis, and must not the origin, the point of genesis, be already structured, in order to be the genesis of something?” - Darrida


The Fourth Item of the night is: Xenakis- Persepolis [GRM Mix] (1/6) 


The Fifth Item Of The Night Is: Bernie Sanders The Fed and OCCUPY WALL STREET






Bernie Sanders a known socialist takes Ben Bernanke to task for his high interest rates, and calls for emergency lawns for "small businesses." To be honest not shore how those businesses would be able to pay backs the emergency lawns in a failing economy. I do understand how the boost in production would increase general wages but without real savings how can the new salaries keep pass with the price of new products being produced. The cost of the products would have to come down and with them the wages of the workers and the result would be yet more debt. I don't know I could be wrong. I still think Sanders is a champ for asking these questions I mean it really the inconsistencies that he's challenging here.



Here Bernie Sanders questions Ben Bernanke on the Feds lack of transparency, interest rate inequity, and general lack of fiscal accountability. Ben Bernanke keeps his cool as usual as Sanders drills him on all sorts of corruption, to his credit his answers are pretty candied, for the most part, but the fact that Bernanke was still unable to admit that the repeal of glass steagall was a disaster is quiet alarming.

My favorite moment is when Bernie sanders states: "Let me just say this Mr. Charmin I have a hard time understanding how you've put 2.2 trillion dollars at risk without making those names available those institutions public and we are going to introduce legislation today by the way that demands that you do that, it is unacceptable  to me that that does on." Bernie Sanders, What a champ!
