How I Occupied A Dinner With Obama

How I Occupied A Dinner With Obama
Fri, 3/23/2012

Hawaiian pop-folk singer Makana, an early supporter of Occupy Movement, describes how he occupied the POTUS with an original protest song during an APEC dinner at which he was invited to play. Unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a t-shirt with "Occupy With Aloha" printed on the front, the singer courageously performed his protest song "We Are The Many" while his almost-equally-heroic guitar tech secretly filmed the whole thing - and no one was the wiser. This is, without a doubt, one of the great musical triumphs to emerge from the movement so far.

What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.

Based on details that have emerged about Trump’s presidential agenda, the far-right Heritage Foundation plans for the next GOP president to have all the tools necessary to demolish multicultural democracy and establish a white, Christian ethnostate that imposes a gender apartheid not unlike the Taliban’s Afghanistan.

Donald Trump, Hitler

Like Hitler, Trump has a unique command of propaganda, a captivating public presence, and he knows how to drive home narratives beneficial to him and harmful to his enemies.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
