It is my contention and complaint that in fact the largest 43,000 thousand transnational corporations on planet earth have captured the governments of and people of the world in an undemocratic coup de-etat which has established a tyranny over every aspect of human existence and all our endeavors. I state that the corporations and the states are wrongly in occupation of our lives and our world in that:
They occupy the air we breath first by poisoning it with mercury and lead, dioxins and all the components of green house gasses, and thousands of other chemicals and they tell us despite scientific knowledge otherwise that it is not of concern. They appropriate and occupy our air through legal trickery and fill the air with radio waves, television broadcast, microwave powered communications and they tell us it is for our own public interest. They occupy the air with jet fighters and strategic bombers and remote controlled surveillance drones and drones loaded with weapons of death and tell us it is the nature of a peace loving people to protect freedom and liberty even though the majority repeatedly states a different point of view.
They occupy the water by appropriating the right to it right down to telling us that if we collect water in a rain barrel we are violating their legal water rights for use in industrial agriculture or industrial power production. They occupy all the water of the seas by filling it with radioactive isotopes and thousands of chemicals spewing out of factories and chemical processing plants and from their war games telling us the levels of poison are within the legal limits they have created. They occupy all the oceans with fleets of fishing vessels and oil drilling platforms and submarines and air craft carrier groups and shipping vessels including oil tankers and vessels that ship all sorts of other toxic cargo and they tell us this has no impact on a limitless expanse. They occupy the oceans with plastic garbage and toxic spills swirling in great accumulations of entrapment and death for the beings that still live in the sea. They occupy the oceans with huge puddles of toxic petroleum products leached off their industrial agriculture plantations and out of the factories and off of the roads creating gigantic zones of sterile anaerobic death off of our coastlines. They occupy the oceans with factory food processors and fleets of ships that have decimated and destroyed 90% of the fish and the by catch species of the sea. They occupy our fresh waters our rivers and streams and lakes with the same pollutants and degradation and leave us with waters that are not fit for consumption and are not fit for our native species of fresh water aquatic life,and then they tell us that we must use the water that they will provide at a cost to us, that it is not safe for us to get our own water for ourselves. They occupy the water that is provided to us for a price with chemical treatments and additives for public safety and inform us that we are lunatics if we oppose such things being put in our water.
They occupy the land and all the soil on every square inch of the surface of the planet first by contamination with radioactive substances and then with the thousands of toxic chemicals they put in our air and water and on the industrial crops and the toxins and radioactivity sent in to the sky and the water by the global war machine all around the world including right here at home in their practice of war games on military bases and the huge military industrial complex that they say needs not be monitored due to "National Security". They occupy our land by stealing it from the majority in periodic planned financial crises, real estate crashes and commodity manipulations by multinational corporate players in concert with government policy. They occupy our landscape coast to coast by the mechanism of the mortgage and the never ending chain of interest and debt with banks owning the larger part of our homes and our small businesses and farms. They Occupy the landscape coast to coast with chain franchises and cloned shopping strips and the endlessly replicated urban boredom of the same thing everywhere, starbucks, mcdonalds, arco, exxon,jiffy lube, borders, KFC, office depot, walmart, home depot, crushing small local business and grinding all into monotonous conformity. They occupy the urban landscapes with their advertising and corporate logos put up on every available possible surface that they think may be profitable to themselves. They occupy all the great open spaces with fences and land boundaries public and private and occupy public lands at our expense for the use of private corporations and the exclusion of the public. They occupy all the public lands and lay claim to them by privilege and cede to us that we have to pay to enter our own lands. They Occupy the once wild timber lands with millions of miles of roads built with taxpayers money extending everywhere in to the depths of the national forests and everywhere destroying all ecosystems balance and they tell us it is for the betterment of our economy. They occupy the land through taxation and debt and laws and economic policies that force landowners to utilize all land for profit and do not allow for any lands to be left alone and free to be what they intrinsically are. They occupy the lands of the earth with their theory of war and the right of using force and the willingness to deploy force anywhere on the planet and start dropping millions of tons of bombs and use depleted uranium munitions and any chemical and explosive and incendiary means necessary to achieve their ends, having and having in fact practiced scorched earth policies as acceptable political economic policy.
They occupy our homes. Yes indeed they do. If we pay rent or have a mortgage then surely they have occupation in the form of legal writs of the death pledge with us or our landlords . They occupy your home through taking your mortgage debt and bundling it off in derivatives and collateral debt obligations and combining these with investment in all other industries and then making war war and banking and exploitation globally. They occupy our homes because when we signed the promissory note and took on the debt, they really did not have any money it was just a generally acceptable business practice that they are allowed to create debt, out of thin air, and that we sign the note and are contractually obligated to pay back the money they never had. They occupy our homes and though we have worked and paid for it likely more than once they say that they are being good to us for we are going to own that home some day, but in fact due to the real cause of inflation being taxes and interest payments the market and real estate crashes will mean that we have less at the end than at the beginning. They occupy our homes because we pay them in order that they own out homes and we get to pay for fixing it the whole time they own it. They occupy and own out homes as no matter if we pay it off and own it on paper they will still come and ask for insurance and for tax payments and require that we obey all their laws and rules about being hooked up to their water and their electricity and have access to our land if under it at any time they find such as petroleum natural gas or minerals. They occupy our homes in that all the materials and products used in the construction of our homes were exploited from the natural world and the real price for these materials was not paid, it was stolen with debt and we and our children will pay for that someday as well. They occupy our homes with building materials manufactured using toxic chemicals that off gas or deteriorate and poison us slowly over time. They occupy our homes in that it was built to be larger than needed and was not built to a good energy use standard and hence the corporate electric and gas utilities have you over a barrel paying two or three times more than you need to pay to heat your home.
They occupy our wallets. Go ahead and look in there. They occupy every transaction we have every day of our lives through the collective bankers centralized economic control called deceptively, The Federal Reserve. They occupy our minds because we thought it was money in our wallets and it is just a legal fiction manufactured by a bankers collective. They occupy our lives in that we need their notes, their writs of permission to do anything anywhere anytime. They occupy our lives every time we use cash checks or credit to complete any function anywhere and anytime, they get a cut and they are keeping track of everything we do in order to get that cut.
They occupy our bodies substituting chemicals and additives for real foods manufacturing flavors and aromas and pheromes to trick us into consuming non food food products. They occupy our bodies by making foods out of genetically modified plants and animals and without our consent have us consume products that we do not wish to consume. They occupy our intention to be healthy by attempting to push foods that are not labeled correctly or are labeled using false and misleading representations. They attempt to occupy and co-opt our chosen way to eat locally and organically with foods that are not local and not organic but are represented as such. They occupy our bodies with all the chemicals and pollutants that they occupy the air and the water and land with. They occupy mothers breast milk with dioxins and mercury, they occupy male reproductive organs with depleted uranium and radioactive isotopes and other toxins. They occupy the sick and the old and the mentally ill and the sad and the anxious with pharmaceutical drugs and chemicals that are pushed not because they help or cure but because they make large profits. They occupy the sick and the dying in medical institutions by overloading them with operations and procedures and keeping alive anyone who has resources or insurance until they are completely drained and then throw them away. They occupy women"s wombs desiring to control by force the right of decision about birth control or family planning. They occupy our sexuality with a constant stream of stereotypical corporate idealized beauty and how men and or women should behave. They occupy the male psyche and body violently at birth with the custom of circumcision. They occupy female consciousness and development through never ending media and entertainment images of impossible to achieve beauty and absurd submission to patriarchy.
They occupy our minds from birth till death through the never ending nonstop every where subconsciously mesmerizing commercials and advertisements and media implants in the news, in the movies, on the shows made for consumption, the pop music and what is chosen to be marketed and what is denied production. They occupy our conscious and subconscious by invading and expanding their media advertising occupation into every nook and every cranny of what used to be open and free space. They occupy our minds through the simplified lies of history written by propogandists for perpetuation of nationalism and patriotism. They occupy our minds with the religion of free market capitalism and liberalism. They occupy our minds with violent militarism and american exceptionalism and manifest destiny and a complete false presentation of the history of the world. They occupy our minds with the false idea that our nation is a christian patriarchal creation and that religion especially christian religion is to be a model for all of us. They occupy ours mind by taking us away from the real world and distracting us all into a bizzare mythos of consumerism and high tech puffery. They occupy our minds by hypnotizing us from birth with a never ending stream of violence, glorification of wars as history, movies where the solution is always quick and violent.
They Occupy our children in every way they occupy our air, water, soil, food, our body and our minds but more so as our children have less experience of the real world that once was and is rapidly being occupied.
They occupy our very genetic code and life force by forcing us to be party to genetically modified foods, medicines and genetically modified. Then they occupy the unmodified world by claiming that we stole it from them.
They occupy our federal government by owning it, they occupy our state government by owning it and they control our local government by owning all the resources it might want to get at through the banking system. They occupy the Judiciary branch by having overwhelming control of the processes of judicial appointment or election.
They occupy the congress and the senate both of the Federal Government and all the States and all the other nations of the world through having a size and scale that most of us cannot even comprehend.
They occupy the Arctic and the Antarctic the Rain Forests and the all Deserts of the world, all the plains and steppes and the badlands, the occupy and all the seas, all the oceans, all the rivers and all the lakes, all the wetlands and all the tundras, the high mountains and the low hills, they occupy it all with clearly stated intent to use and exploit pollute and destroy as they see fit and when they make a big mess they have our occupied governments and our occupied media ban unauthorized persons from seeing or reporting on the truth.
They occupy all the world with death and desolation and the ever growing extinction of species, poisoning us and making us all sick, creating a dearth of living species other than humans, the oceans are being emptied, the skies silenced and depleted, the forest are becoming empty sterile landscapes.
They occupy outer space no less not satisfied with occupying the air, and they show their intentions by occupying outer space with military satellites for surveillance and control and machines of death interconnected with their vast military complex using it for raining terror and destruction on any who oppose their occupations. They occupy all of humanity with unease and discomfort by having nuclear missiles that can cruise through outerspace and strike death to millions at a the touch of a button.
They occupy all of humanity with terror and fear, and they must, because happy well adjusted human beings living lives of fulfillment and exercising freedom and liberty in choosing their own lives and futures would not stand for such an occupation. They occupy our fear with their infinite willingness to use force and violence to achieve their goals.
Therefor:
I as one human being of the Six Billion Nine Hundred Thirty Million human beings who make up the 99% a, serving notice that:
The authorizing legal instruments that have allowed for the grievous occupation of our domains our governments and our very rights to life liberty and the pursuit of sustainable co-existence are no longer recognized.
The governments controlled by the corporations and the billionaires are not the real representatives of the people and the nations they rule, the governments are merely extensions of corporations, originally granted the legal privilege of operating as such by the people through our former representative governments.
That the corporations and our governments have been given undue time and opportunity to come through on their claims about how things work, and great forgiveness and repeated allowance to make good on their claims as to how the free markets and capitalism and finance and banking will create the best possible world.
That the facts speak loudly and clearly that the capitalists and the bankers and the corporations have failed utterly and indisputably, continuing shamelessly to exploit all that can be exploited and to waste and destroy most of the peoples productive capacity while destroying and wasting away the real capital of our planet on their schemes.
Therefor I will not stand for the unethical and destructive occupation to continue.
Therefor I do not recognize that the current governments and corporations have any binding or enforceable authority because they are run by very small non representative percentage of the worlds population, less than 1/10 of 1% that is rootless, place less, ruthless, unethical, and completely alienated and disconnected from having any interest in our rights the rights of all humanity to live in peace and without fear and terror and to the enjoyment of our natural and divine right of life liberty and the pursuit of our highest and best human potential.
I suggest and request that If you are in a position of power or an elected official, step down, take a few weeks for reflection a come down to the streets and join the people, then make a pledge to support the 99% become a human being in a world of abundance and infinite possibility.
I pledge to keep working against the corporate occupation till victory or death.
2012 is upon us. Global Warming, Endless Wars, Resource Shortage, Overpopulation, Huge Crises in Global Capitalism, The Human Race Destroying its Source of Existence. Shall we apply the amazing knowledge and power we have and rise form the ashes triumphant or continue trapped in our current mode of insanity counting beans and allowing power and politics to rule over science and spirituality?

The 1% and the 99%
I am getting worried about the Occupy Wall Street movement using the 99% and 1% thing as a momentum building symbol. The 1% is a pretty large slice of the population, in the USA it would be approximately three million people and comprise about 1.4 million households. Every 100th person you pass on the street or encounter daily is a part of the 1%. Most of this 1% are small business owners, professionals, small time real estate investors and quite a lot of average income workers who were frugal, smart and had the luck of not getting sick in their lifetimes, many are middle level bureaucrats in government and business. I myself am close to being in the 1% by the time I retire if I don't get some bad cancer or illness or loose my job. It really is not the 1%, or the income level of the 1% that is the problem. The problem is the 1/100 of 1%, perhaps the 1/10 of 1%, and certainly the 1/1000 of 1%. The richest 400 persons in our nation have more wealth then the 150 million. That has nothing to do with the 1%. This is concentration of wealth and power over the monetary economic system akin to Roman Emporers and beyond the wildest dreams of aristocrats of the old world order prior to the American and French Revolutions. The danger here is that we are drawn into a critique of the order that we wish to change to a better system, but we are in the oppressive system and of it, we still believe the hegemonic ulterior subconscious doctrines and pedagoguery of the order that we are striving to break out of. We think in terms of money and wealth and power in the very ways those who control all the levers and controls of the regime have set out for us. But we are decieved because all the social structures and the systems of the markets and our so called democracy are not what they are represented to be. We are fighting for justice within a system that represents itself as one thing while being in fact the opposite. This is what hegemony is all about, absolute power, and cognitive dissonance. No matter how hard you try using the tools of the oppressor you end up oppressed. And this system has been in operation since the very start. There was no great society and no wonderful world of the USA after WW2 and no light of the world in America after the 1776 revolution. The revolutionaries of 1776 were not about changing the rules of the game they were about taking the power position from the King of England and the Church and consolidating that power in the freedom and the liberty of the new American Aristocracy. This Aristocracy discovered the magic of "democracy" and the "free market" and that if you can get the general public to believe in the myth of and the illusions that they are free and that they elect their leaders who then govern while the real power is held by the very few out of sight and out of mind then the problems that arise out of the troubles of the true rulers waging wars both physically and economically can be blamed on the peoples representatives and ultimately on the people themselves. This is a far superior mechanism of oppression then feudalism or outright slavery or Monarchy as the people historically rise up and make demands of or kill off the ruling class when it is clearly identified. So identifying the 1% as the problem sets up a perfect foil for the real ruling class. Not the least of is that you are stuck arguing about income disparities and statistics and how unfair it is that someone has a few million in assetts or earns 300-500,000 a year, rather than focusing on the fact that now in this "Book keeping" capitalism if you pay attention to the folks at the International Bussiness Daily or the Economist, now just to get by one needs to be a millionaire. Inflation and growth along with the decrease in the price of most things now mean that a million dollars is crumbs. Really the 1% are the middle class now. The 1/10 of 1% are the rich and the 1/100 to 1/1000 % are the ruling aristocrats. So we are running around bemoaning the fact that 1.4 million americans are actually having middle class lives while the other 99% don't . So, how could a system be devised so that the mechanisms of human transaction and services end up making us all the 1%? And why in hell would anyone believe that Warren Buffet or Bill Gates is really worth 50,000 millionaires??? I mean come on. Are we insane? Because they were really clever and new how to manipulate stocks and bonds and the numbers piled up on the books? They worked 50 thousand times harder and longer than the average millionaire? So we have to say to the capitalist and the free market libertarian. I do not believe you you are a liar. Back to the 1%. IN a ideal economy, perhaps a democratic economy, the average person would in fact be worth a few million dollars. Why not? You likely think this absurd because you are in the realm of the myth that there is a great shortage of everything. But there is no shortage of anything in this world only structures that destroy the abundance and cut off the efficient and sustainable production of the goods and services that are really needed for humans and the world to thrive and the substitution of addictive consumerism to useless junk and the societies resources directed to war and death and destruction of the environment. The war economy sucks up hundreds of millions of lifetimes of productive enterprise and turns it into waste and destruction around the globe destroying the capacities and freedom of other nations, the consumer culture of having larger houses and filling them with cheap knock off crap extracted from the environment at huge unaccounted for expense bankrupts the present and destroys the future, the huge manipulation of toxic chemicals and pharmaceuticals to cure the sickness induced by industrial exploitation of the world and its people is a gigantic waste of more human capacity, and finally the isane structures of debt and taxation reap most of what the poor hypnotized confused people have left over and force them into slavery in the system of oppression and destruction of the wealth of the world. We are working hard for our slave masters and producing a huge negative production and amassing a huge real debt of destruction of the world that could easily support us all in abundant sustainable wealth and happiness by not being consumers and not being at war with all the people of the world and by cooperating with natural processes and by following real integrated science towards perpetual changing evolving economics and interaction forever. We could be getting richer, healthier, happier, and have all that we need and more and have a shrinking economy in the terms of the current paradigms of free markets and growth. Because we do not have free markets and we do not have growth. We have a system that twists everything around to maximize the concentration of wealth in an numerical accounting system, fiendishly rationalized as just and scientific because after all we all know that mathematics is scientifically the truth, and then uses structures that devalue and avoid accounting for the majority of all real costs and denies the real value and compensation of the people who do all the work. The price is theoretically set by the free market but in reality the price is denied, the debt is a manufactured lie and the damages done are not recognized nor allowed to be accounted for. All accounting is regulated and ruled over by those who have accumulated masses of symbolic transaction rights through bizzare legal mechanisms and conventions of formality all invented and made up by the very segment of the population who benfit from this. All the while the entire over arching monetary and debt system is kept up and delivered as some given scientific fact of indisputable and concrete absolute fact of existence that only mad persons and lunatics would ever even bring up for discussion. Back that 1%. If one takes the position that the ruling class is in fact the most oppressed class one can open up to the possibility that they can be freed. Take the position of an alien cultural anthropologist looking at the human race on planet earth. Who is the most brainwashed? Who is the most comfortable person at this table? Who lives in the perfect utopian world right now. And why would this person want to change anything? Again likely the 1 million of that 1% are not in the utopian world, they can still fall, they can still get taken down. It is nice to be worth 10 million but really, one law suit, one bout with cancer, one bad business decision and things can get reversed. It's when your worth 100 million, now your pretty damn secure, loose 90 million and you can still shuck a million over to your lawyer lobbyists and get back up and going with some political favors or hire a secret service company to get even with whoever it was who cut you down. If your worth a billion or more your in what we are still thinking about millionaires as, rich, millionaires are not rich they are well off, Billionaires are rich, too rich. So if you are a billionaire why would you want to change anything? After all you don't get blamed for your poor choices and when you loose 50% you are still a billionaire. The congress gets blamed and the president gets blamed, and the 1% gets blamed, your are just a nice guy who made the American dream.

The Analogy War
The aliens arrived on 12-01-2012 and all Hell broke loose.
Not just one species, but two species at war with one another.
A large firefight between two fleets was observed with the results of one fleet being destroyed completely, and the other suffering 95% losses and the capable space ships fleeing the solar system. Left behind were several hundred ships from both sides in various states of disrepair and several thousand aliens of both species.
Both sides managed to land survivors and supplies and they choose to land fairly well on opposite sides of the planet, one group choose to land in China and one choose to land in the USA, choosing as it was later found to take over the most industrial places in order to build up and fight on with the population of Earth if some time were to elapse before the respective fleets could come back to fight it out and or rescue them.
After summarly shooting down several nukes and wasting the entire naval forces of every country on earth the red fleet of emergency shuttles settles down on the White House lawn, and the Yellow fleet set down in Peking.
The President of the USA was summoned to see the commander of the Red fleet and instructed that the full capacity of the USA was required and loyalty to the reds is the war against the Yellows. And furthermore all persons would have to submit to the authority of the Reds Republican Language Authority immediatly and start paying all tribute as soon as fitted with the Language.
The President of China was summoned to see the commander of the Yellow fleet and instructed that the full capacity of the Chinese was requried and loyalty to the yellows in the war against the Reds. And furthermore all citizens would have to submit to the authority of the Federal Time Authority and start paying for all time that persons are alive under the authorities jurisdiction.
At the CIA headquarters wheels were spinning and specialists were confused.
Apparantly the Reds somehow used language, words, communication as a way of trading and for status and something similar to money and taxes, and the Yellows used time as a system of transacting all exchanges.
When the president spoke back to the Red commander, he was screamed at, "silence", you have no language here! Each of my words is a debt to you worthless savages of a million years labor and tribute. You may speak only when I grant it.
When the Chinese Premier was summoned to the Yellow commander, he was after being told what the situation was immediately removed from the commanders conference room whilst attempting to speak back and was bruskly told that he had no time that the commanders moments of speaking to him were worth a thousand of his worthless lifetimes, and to shut up as he was now indebting himself to time he did not have to trade with his escorts.
Shortly all persons on the red side were implanted with devices that kept track of what you said and you were charged a tribute tax to the Language authority, and all the Yellows were fitted with time piece implants and charged tribute and time to the Time authority.
Baffled by it all neither side had any concern for money or taxes and they were obsessed with some bizzare accounting of time and language useage. Constantly going around and giving people bills for time and language and what was owed in equivalent in the future as goods and services and or pledged labor like a mortgage or credit card deal dealing wiht money.

Occupy Wall Street And 350.org
Green Phoenix Supports Occupy Wall Street and all the Related Occupations.
Also Green Phoenix Supports the 350.org website and agenda and especially the protests against the Athabasca Tar Sands Extraction and the Keystone Pipeline.
The 99% movement is really a great reality check movement.
Green Phoenix Has Some Basic Reforms for Consideration:
First and formost is the ending of the private bank consortium named deceptively and which most people think is thier governments treasury and the bank of the united states, namely the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States. And the taking over of all monetary policy by the democratic process.
The dismantling of all large corporations. This is another 99% issue. The top 1% of corporation and really the top few thousand corporations including banks and finance are the major problem. Green Phoenix advises breaking all corporation down to individual smaller companies no larger than $10 Billion to 20 Billion of revenue per enterprise. No Corporation should be allowed to be larger than an average sized state. One exception might be disappearing corporations formed to take care of extra large special projects that may become possible in a real democracy such ad building a continental mass transit system or an entire new energy system.
The end of speculation and related trade and commerce that is entirely and purely the enterprise of creating legal instruments to trade debt and risk and hedge losses in the short term. Real investment should be a mechanism to build real business, production and services, not the trading back and forth of and round and round of paper and debts. To this end currency trading, derivative trading, CDO's and computer driven trading programs are to be curtailed. The capital gains tax rate will be 90% on any trade of less than a day, with a 5% surcharge for the accounting hassles. Trades held less than a Month will be taxed at 75%, less than six months 50%, and less than a year 40%, less than ten years 25%. Capital investment held ten years or more will be taxed at 20% and indexed for inflation.
The tax rate on the top 1% of income earners and corporations will pay a 5% surcharge on income, all income for each 1/2 % the national unemployment rate is over 5%. This basically puts skin in the game for the wealthy and the big corporations and gives them a reason to support high employment.
Money to be created by ending taxation by the Federal Government and instead of money being created and the economy grown by consumerism and debt, the money supply will be grown by the Central government bank, now not the Federal Reserve but ,our reserve, paying benefits and bills and helath care and student loans etc directly as grants and or 0% loans. Excess money is to be drained off the economy with taxation, and or the destruction of currency as 0% loans are drawn back in.
Jubilee. Simply all debts have to be canceled and 1/2 that debt is to be credited to the debtor and 1/2 to the creditor. That is all debts no exceptions. This is to reset the whole world and not punish or blame anyone or any institutions. And this is to show that it is our choice to choose to have any system of currency transaction that we wish to have. All assets will be owned for a period by who owned them or had debt on them for a short time.
Global currency with a unified global set of environmental and labor rules. Very simply right now the corporations are global and they use the fact that the world is chopped up into about 200 seperate states and 200 seperate governments to manipulate currency and commodities and any means of monetary policy to wage war on the people of the world and increase profits. this is also the reason for breaking down corporations to being broken down to reasonable size.
