Foreclosure firm has Halloween party dressed as depressed homeowners

From Raw Story.  Wow..  Excerpts:

Based on their Halloween costumes from last year, it would not be surprising if employees from foreclosure firm giant Steven J. Baum dressed up this year as homeowners who’ve lost their property thanks to firms like them.
In a column from The New York Times Joe Nocera, a former employee of the Baum firm revealed that his former co-workers did indeed dress as downtrodden individuals with signs representing their depressed state. The ex-Baum employee, who Nocera kept anonymous, told the Times reporter that she wanted to show how the firm had a “cavalier attitude” towards foreclosing people’s homes.
And:
The Baum firm represents virtually all the prominent mortgage lending Wall Street giants, including Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo.
 
I'm sure these..  minions(especially the millionaires..)..  have no idea how big this Artery of Rage they've tapped into really is..  People have lost everything at the hands of a gamed system and it's all a big fucking joke.  I think these people will be shocked, SHOCKED at the response to such actions.  I think everyone will be shocked at the Whatever Happens Next, whatever that is..  Those most shocked will probably be those who think they're One-percenters, but are not.  When the economies of the world collapse, their power will evaporate.  It will be very rough for them.  It will be rough for most all of us, but those most comfortable will lose the most things. 


Deep breath..
 
This is the first time in my life that I've felt like every global scenario possible is overwhelmingly negative to catastrophic, and the only way out, is through.  Our species has entered Dark Times(not just financially-- but in all facets of our..  Reality/Matrix..), the outcome is still uncertain, and the time will certainly become darker for many different people from many, many different worlds..  And you thought you lived in interesting times before 2011! The real test is about to begin, for all of us..
 
The shit's on the rise and it's all in overdrive, man.  If you haven't noticed already, Inertia has taken over.  I feel it to my being that the die has been cast, and now what's left is to watch it unfold..  And so far, The Unfolding has been intense.  Again, this is our history, happening all around us, happening now, happening everywhere.  What has already happened, will happen, and what will happen, has already.
 
I am attempting to bring much more love into my life.  I suggest you do so, too..  Good luck.  Enjoy your time.

Whoopsie!

Occupy Wall Street: Canadian Special Forces provocateur leaves wallet behind  Censored News.  Excerpts:

Canadian Special Forces Agent Dylan Spoelstra, 24, of Toronto, left his wallet behind exposing his identity, after he was arrested at Occupy Wall Street scaling a sculpture on Saturday morning. The police said that after his arrest, he was brought to Bellevue Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation after surrendering just after 9 a.m.



Occupy Wall Street media coordinator Thorin Caristo said when Spoelstra began climbing the reddish-colored Joie de Vivre sculpture in Zuccotti Park, on Saturday at 5:30 am, Caristo said he knew it was staged.

Caristo recalled the event, first saying to himself, “I can’t believe he’s climbing the sculpture."

Police arrived and began inflating airbags. Earlier, families had gathered on Friday at Occupy Wall Street with their children to camp, so it was a special time. However, police cleared them all out during Spoelstra's stunt.
And:
Then, on Saturday night, Occupy Wall Street security found Spoelstra's wallet, revealing that Spoelstra is a member of Canadian Special Forces.
 
Remember:  From now on out, the really disruptive ones at all peaceful protests will be regarded with suspicion.  I will be totally shocked if this story has legs.  But, mass exposure or not, lots of people seem to have figured this ruse out.  I really hope this movement continues to remain (relatively) peaceful, but the global signs seem to predict otherwise..  How long the peace remains will probably be determined by the public's response to even more provocatuers, staging ever larger provocations..
 
2011.  So far, so intense.

It's What's Happenin', Man..

Doomed German space telescope to plunge to Earth on October 23rd

The massive ROSAT X-ray space telescope continues to descend toward Earth. Latest estimates place the re-entry around noon Universal Time on Oct. 23rd. Uncertainties exceed 10 hours, which makes it impossible to say exactly where ROSAT will re-enter.

New Mexico shaken by ‘historically unusual’ 3.8 magnitude earthquake

A 3.8 magnitude earthquake “is unusual for this area, historically,” Richard Aster, a professor of Geophysics at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, wrote the New Mexican in an email Monday. “The present estimate of the epicenter is about half way between Santa Fe and Espanola. This is a large enough event that there may be felt aftershocks.” Monday’s temblor, at 3.8, is small compared to the earth-moving quakes recorded in Japan, California or other hot zones. But in New Mexico, 3.8 is a major event.

Evidence Builds: Deadly Gravity Wave Approaching Earth  Pakalert Press.  Excerpts:

Gigantic gravitational waves up to 100 billion light years long could be warping the universe into a twisted maze compressing and squeezing out the edges of space-time like an old rag being wrung dry. Now evidence is mounting that one of these rogue waves may be on its way towards Earth…



100 billion light year long gravity waves pushing and twisting the universe outward? That’s the astounding theory being proposed by some astrophysicists to explain why space is inflating at different rates in different regions.
 
The scientists’ hypothesis may have arrived like an interstellar cavalry for harried cosmologists. The theory of almost everything has been slipping towards almost nothing.
 
How?



Careful measurements of the universe’s expansion (called inflation) have revealed alarming anomalies. Not every region of space is expanding at the same rate.


Why is that important?


Well, it’s raising concerns because if the universe is inflating irregularly that could mean all the laws governing basic physics may be flawed…or downright wrong.


And if those laws are wrong, much of science is wrong, including the distance to other stars, the laws that affect many experiments—even the age of the universe.

 Greece heads for standstill before austerity vote  Reuters.  Excerpts:

Greece's two main unions, representing about half the four million-strong workforce, are preparing for one of the biggest protests since the crisis began two years ago, likely to hit food and fuel supplies, disrupt transport and leave hospitals run by skeleton staff.



The strike is set for Wednesday and Thursday to coincide with the vote in parliament, expected to take place in two stages on both days.


Memories are fresh of battles between riot police and stone-throwing protesters at anti-austerity demonstrations in June and sporadic incidents were reported on Monday with a petrol bomb hurled at a garbage truck in a northern suburb of Athens.


Trailing badly in opinion polls, Papandreou has defied a wave of protests, pledging to push through a deeply unpopular package that includes tax rises, pay and pension cuts, job layoffs and changes to collective pay deals.
And:

Trapped in deep recession and choked by a debt equivalent to some 162 percent of gross domestic product, Greece has been shut out of bond markets and would run out of money within weeks without international support.



Inspectors from the EU and the International Monetary Fund were in Athens last week and have recommended releasing an 8 billion euro (6.9 billion pound) aid tranche to enable the government to keep paying its bills past November.


That will only provide temporary relief and they have told Papandreou's struggling team to push ahead with further belt-tightening, structural reforms and privatisations, on top of what are already the deepest cuts in Greece's postwar history.

Wow.  Not even a fraction of what all is happening.
