The Evolution of the Butterfly



Renowned cellular biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton narrates the process of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly over a milieu of imagery in "The Evolution of the Butterfly". The film combines first hand footage from the Occupy Wall Street movement with stylized portraits of the recent economic collapse and gives a backdrop of hope to sometimes bleak reality.

For more information on the caterpillar and butterfly, humanity and society, see Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future And A Way To Get There From Here.

The JOBS Act Is A Fraud-Enhancing Gift To Wall Street Criminals

By William K. Black, Henry N. Pontell, Gilbert Geis, Janet Tavakoli, Barry Ritholtz & Lynn A. Stout
As white-collar criminologists (and a former financial regulator and enforcement head) and experts in ferreting out sophisticated financial frauds, our careers and research focus on financial fraud by the world’s most elite private sector criminals and their political cronies. Therefore, we write to thank Congress and the President for preparing to adopt a JOBS Act that will provide us with job security for life.

$h!t Lobbyists $ay

Lobbyists write legislation, they take your representatives out to lunch, they throw fundraisers, they abide by absurdly specific rules to avoid appearance of graft and bribery, but nonetheless, Lobbyists influence your government for the benefit of corporate interests.

Greedy Bastards Antidote: Lawrence Lessig on “One Way Forward”

In a discussion on money, politics, and the growth of organic political reform movements in America over the last few years, Dylan Ratigan talks with Lawrence Lessig about his new book, One Way Forward: An Outsiders Guide to Fixing the Republic.

Obama’s Lobbying Ban Leads To More Corruption

When Republic Report launched Sell Out Of The Week, our initial winner was President Obama, who earned the prize for embracing his super PAC, essentially endorsing unlimited corporate cash invading the democratic process, after having failed to take some critical steps to clean up the system. We’ve chosen him again this week, but for a different money in politics offense.

Obama campaigned on a promise of reform and transparency, pledging as a candidate that lobbyists “will not run my White House… and will not drown out the voices of the American people.” But three years into his presidency, Obama’s lobby reform is broken. The rules once seen as revolutionary are counterproductive, meaningless, and frankly ridiculous.

This Is NOT What Democracy Looks Like! Criminalizing First Amendment Rights


If laws like the new Trespass Bill (HR 347) had been in effect during the Civil Rights movement, there would have been no March on Washington. Martin Luther King Jr. and his fellow activists would have been rendered criminals. And King's call for "militant nonviolent resistance" would have been silenced by police in riot gear.

Wall Street Whistleblowers Get the Silent Treatment From Washington

What’s worse: to be persecuted and indicted for trying to expose an act of wrongdoing -- or to be ignored for doing so? The Obama administration has set a record by accusing no fewer than six government employees, who allegedly leaked classified information to reporters, of violating the Espionage Act, a draconian law dating back to 1917. Yet when it comes to workers who have risked their careers to expose misconduct in the corporate and financial arena, the government has often left whistleblowers feeling isolated and discouraged.

Anonymous Vs. The Federal Reserve (OpESR June 14th Video Announcement)Have Anonymous Operations against the Federal Reserve uncovered secret information? It appears so.

A99 OpESR has just released a new video seeking legal counsel pertaining to a RICO Class Action Lawsuit against the Federal Reserve and it’s shareholders.

A previous statement by Anonymous A99 released on June 15th, the day after OpESR launched, revealed:

“Phase 1 Cyber Operation Success (P1CO)

OpESR Cyber Operations have been successfully launched and are progressing as planned…. OpESR is designed to expose corruption and scandalous actions on the part of central bankers and their servants within government….” [read more]

After reading that, knowing Anonymous’ recent track record of obtaining secret information, (see: Anonymous Exposes a Sinister Cyber-Surveillance Scheme) and viewing this new video seeking legal counsel, you get the impression that the Federal Reserve may be in serious trouble.

    I’ve been thinking that Anonymous might be angels, but if they can bring down the Fed, they will achieve immortal God status.

    God bless!

    The Federal Reserve is worse than Al Qaeda. If people think that comment is excessive, they don’t understand how the global economy works. The last video that said the Fed was guilty of crimes against humanity was spot on.

    Anonymous are real-world cyber heroes! We are under attack in a vicious class war by wealthy fascists that seek our destruction. One source of their power is a monopoly on information, that protects their corporations from citizens’ actions and government actions.

    Anonymous are helping to break this information monopoly and expose these powerful and corrupt forces to public scrutiny and the legal system.

    Any politician that takes action against Anonymous is an enemy of the people, who should have their opponent supported in the next election.

    SMART MOVE!

    FINALLY. YOUR GOING AFTER THE MONEY AND THE “REALITY”.

    IN FACT..WHILE YOUR AT IT..IN TERMS OF “RICO CASES”..WHAT OF THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER AS A “PARTNER” IN THE WAR CRIMES OF THE U.S. MIL-IND-COMPLEX?

    THE LARGEST RICO CASE IN HISTORY.

    IF YOU PAY YOUR NEIGHBOR TO “MOVE THE FURNITURE” OUT OF THE ‘OLD LADY DOWN THE BLOCKS HOME’…ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT SHE HAD NOT BEEN TOLD AND THAT IT WAS NOT A ‘MOVE’ AT ALL UT A ROBBERY…AND THEN YOU….PAY AGAIN THE NEXT TIME YOUR NEIGHBOR ASKS FOR MORE MONEY FOR ANOTHER “MOVE” OF ANOTHER “OLD LADY’S FURNITURE”..WELL?

    YOU ARE NO LONGER..”INNOCENT”.

    SO TOO IS THIS THE CASE…AT THIS TIME…WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

    REFUSAL TO PAY TAXES AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL IS NOW “ILLEGAL” FOR LITERALLY..”EVERY REASON THEY CAN THINK OF”…EXTRAORDINARY “LAWS” WRITTEN TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO “JUSTIFY” REFUSAL TO PAY FOR LITERALLY….”ANY REASON AT ALL”.

    BUT THEY HAVE NEVER ADDRESSED ‘PAYING FOR TORTURE AND WAR CRIMES” ETC..ETC..

    IS IT ILLEGAL TO..’KNOWINGLY FINANCE ATROCITY”?

    THAT IS THE QUESTION?

    AND THAT QUESTION MUST BE ASKED NOW!

    RICO CASE YES!

    GOOD IDEA AND GOOD MOVE AND I SUPPORT IT AND WILL DO MY PART WHATEVER IS REQUIRED.

    THANKS ANONYMOUS!
    EXCELLENT WORK THIS TIME!

    My loan from Indymac Mac was a bunch of lies from the very beginning till the end. I was never even told that my loan was sold nor was I ever informed that my lender had been caught doing anything illegal. I was a victim by my lender and then became a victim by IndyMac Ventures. I had a construction loan to perm. loan and they almost always refused my draw requests. Indy Mac Bank told me that I needed to take out a second trust on my primary residence to make sure that construction was ompleted and that wasn’t true. That money vanished along with other monies for construction. IndyMac never told me the true cost of construction, they never explaned nor did I see loan documents until the day I signed them. My interest rate was different from the 6 different residential loan applications that I filled out and they knew what I was building because I had to have those designs for the loan application process. My lender had me have relatives to state that I had acess to their funds. They asked me to sign blank documents. They told me that they was going to assist me in the construction of my home because I had never build a home before, they never assisted me with any part of the construction process. They told me within a year that I had to give them almost twenty thousand dollars because I wasn’t finished with my home! I was still in planning. Once out of planning I had to pay motgage payments to them before I could get any releases for funds to construct my home. The mony that I borrowed from them went right back to the lender and not on construction. They put at lease $34,000.00 in a contengcy fund that I never even used thaey took that to. The $640, 00 that I borrowed plus the $150,000 that they secured from my primary residence all seem to vanish with fees from my lender and some monies just vanished with no explanation. I built a custom home with onle about $150,000 that came from my lender. I put over a million dollars in the construction of my home and than Indymac Ventures took my home from me two weeks after I got the Certificate of Occupancy. I fought for as long as I could. They wouldn’t give me a loan modification but they sold my house for $465,000. I have verifiable documents that you wouldn’t believe. I want to be in on any law suit that one has to offer. I didn’t build a house for the banks to take. I worked hard for a dream home and now the banks have my dream. And if I would have known then what I know now I really didn’t need the bank to build a home because my money is the money that build my home that they noe posess. I am angry and disappointed in a system of greed that allows “CROOKS” to break the law and to distroy our lives and our dreams. If it was anyone else we would all be in “JAIL” What amazese me is that we go to other “COUNTIES” to fight for the rights of “CITIZENS” and the same people who send our “SOILDERS” to these COUNTIES are the same people who “ABUSE” AND “DESTROY” THEIR OWN CITIZENS.

    Dream on everybody. Pullease! If the case is not dismissed by our corrupt judiciary, the corrupt supreme court will do so (no capital letters intended). Our “leaders” have f*d us royally and intentionally. If I was younger I would get the hell out of this country quickly while you still can.
