Here we go !All over media today, Unions steppin up publicly stating No Way and vowing any organized connection with protesters and publicly vowing 2 day they have NO participation in now will in Occupy port shutdowns, NOR "honor the protest as a picket line." ILWU's Pres. Jeff Smith in WW "If I/we(unions) wanted to shut down the port, I/we could dot it without occupy or anybody else. I don't need em. Why would i want to send my people home? Why would i take a job away from somebody?" "I don't get what they're thinking. Its my job to put people to work. Ive got jobs for em, so aim going to put em to work. And I'm going to take some of Wall Street's money to do it." "Occupy organizers need to find somebody who is going to take the bull by the horns and run it like an organization.How many people have you seen on the news saying,'I'am the spokesman of Occupy Portland?" That's frankly why I don't think it's working." Now what the hell would a Pres of a Union know about organizing, or even the need to.? Its not pompous but i have been right smack dab on key pt throughout beginning of this adolescent movement that better wake up and get things movin or they risk it fizzling away to nothin. Leadership,Organizing,Networking,Mobilizing,Coordinating. You cant run a revolution,...or even a occupy movement that rejects leadership, hierarchy,organizers/organization. The SDS thought this way to but nonetheless did go about all the above but in a low key manner beginning at grass roots community involvement,projects,job creation while organizing their movement and educational workshops. Be back directly with new installments of penexplosion. thanx 4 blog maybe i can build a "movement" therefrom but it sure wont be about camping in parks or occupying my own ego, or trying to control or manipulate others. You all need to read about SDS beginnings and Berkeley's Student Revolt. Mine aint the only library in town.

Here's another one they're tryin to slip under ur noses while occupied with "Occupy". Congress proposal would let the Border Patrol circumvent dozens of environmental laws, including the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act, in areas those laws were created for: the nation's most protected wilderness that falls within the 100 mile border zone with both Mex and Canada. a primary advocate/sponsor of the bill in Rep Denny Rehberg of Montana (Rep). Congress has always done these quick back door senate bills during times of social upheaval while public is distracted and can push them through with little to no public,lobby grp input. This move/attempt also increases/enhances Border Patrols powers and abilities,authority to also be used against domestic citizens, just like the Patriot Act and Anti-Terrorism statutes. Can can't sleep at the wheel for a second or the juggernaut will roll u right over.
