Military State

It's frustrating trying to get accurate information about the protests taking place here in the US.  The corporate media is bending over backwards to skew the coverage or not cover it at all.  The UK Guardian, on the other hand, has had excellent coverage.  Non biased and detailed, even, in my opinion, outclassing the NY Times, which one could find hard to believe given that the OWS New York protest is in their backyard.

The Guardian ran a story about Dorli Rainey, an 84 year old activist who was pepper sprayed by police who viewed her as a threat.


We're rapidly approaching a tipping point with the protests as the establishment continues to overreact to the movement.  Every attempt to break up the protesters is met with a larger group soon after.  The establishment continues to use tactics from the 1930s to battle peaceful citizens demanding redress in the 21st Century.  It's not working.
