The Truth You’ll Never Hear on Any Television or Radio Newscast
By Steve Holloway (New York) Out of curiosity, I watched Rachel Maddow last night as she and her cohorts chatted away about the Iowa caucus and what it meant for the Republicans, the Democrats and the country. But in the end, it was all business as usual. Here’s what none of them said, and never … Read more

Bloomberg Really Doesn’t Get It

Occupy Las Vegas Takes On a Local Cause
By Steve Holloway (Las Vegas) This week, police in at least 18 cities, including New York, cleared out the tents and belongings of local “Occupy” movements. It’s now evident that there was coordination between these cities which involves the federal Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security. (Thanks a lot, Barack.) While this was … Read more
The Proper Use of Public Plazas
Nov. 15: How silent and sterile Zuccotti Park seemed this morning, after the Occupiers had been forced out during the night. Instead of the hectic, productive village of tents and tables and teeming activity, there were only cold steel barricades and several dozen police standing randomly around the square, doing nothing but preventing anyone else … Read more
WTF??? Cops clear Zuccotti Park in Overnight Raid
I’m in Las Vegas this week and was just about to put together an update about the Occupy Las Vegas scene I checked out today. Instead, I’ve just seen online that cops are clearing out Occupy Wall Street in an overnight raid of Zuccotti Park in downtown Manhattan. I’m speechless….this in unbelievable. And having been … Read more
Join AFM Musicians Local 802 to march in support of locked out employees of Sotheby’s on November 9, 2011
From AFM Local 802 in New York: Dear Musician: “Union busting Is disgusting!” We’ve heard it on picket lines and we know that it’s true. It’s true wherever employers undermine the rights of employees and it’s true at Sotheby’s auction gallery where members of Teamsters Local 814 have been locked out in a contract dispute … Read more
George Carlin Describes “The 1%” – In 2005
It’s interesting that some of the greatest social commentators of our time have been comedians. Every evening Americans are able to laugh (maybe to keep from crying) at our government, politicians and pundits by watching The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Real Time with Bill Maher, The Onion News, and countless stand-up comics. Comedy adds … Read more
Whose Tab Is It Anyway?
By Pat Hackbarth Sometimes the best way to lose an argument is to propose good questions and then offer really terrible answers. Take the discussion on the Millionaires’ Tax, for instance, a subject of many a poster at Zuccotti Park and other OWS sites. The question is, why should millionaires pay taxes at a higher … Read more
If you visit Occupy Wall Street, please bring a can of tuna. Otherwise, read some articles, think, imagine, speak up.
By Steve Holloway (New York) Friday afternoon, a small group of musicians met again at the epicenter of Occupy Wall Street at Zuccotti Park. It’s a dynamic, always changing sea of people, signs, tarps, policemen, spectators and news vans. And its vibrancy has grown even stronger in recent days, perhaps as the full-time protesters and … Read more
