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.

Fault Lines: History of an Occupation

Wall Street Pirates – Shepard Fairey & Jamie Reid

Shepard Fairey and Jamie Reid print collaboration.

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.

Cenk: Occupy Wall Street Protesters Aren’t The Violent Ones – The Police Are

Cenk: “No cops ever get punished, no mayors ever get punished. If you go out there to exercise your First Amendment rights, should you expect an ass-kicking by your own police that you paid for?”

$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.

Ben Harper and Tom Morello: There’s A Better Way

Performed live at an InterOccupy meetup hosted by Occupy LA in MacArthur Park:

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.

You can read Lessig's book here.

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.

This war on financial terrorism and fascism is a far more important war than any abroad. The enemy within has wreaked far more havoc.

It’s about time Americans are awakening to the fact. Terrorism isn’t half the threat that Wall Street has become to the people of the United States. Wall Street represents the banking industries and multinational corporations. They are bigger threat to the American way of life than the Taliban, Al Quaida, or any other terrorist. Eventually Wall Street and the Super rich will be finally tied to the Republican Party and it’s puppet the made up TEA PARTY who knowone knows a member of!

I agree with you up to the point where you lay ALL the blame on the GOP. The Obama administration is absolutely FULL of Wall Street criminals and lobbyists. His campaign was financed by more Wall Street money than any other candidate in history. Furthermore, he has escalated the illegal wars and eroded our civil liberties more than the GOP ever dared. As he has recently shown he has no problem with denying American citizens their 5th amendment rights (due process) and assassinating them for exercising their 1st amendment rights (free speech). There is no denying these facts. These protests are about the influence that Wall Street has on BOTH parties and our entire political process.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Corporations feed both parties money in order to control them. Campaign finance is nothing but a legal bribery and the candidates can keep what is left of their campaign contributions when they decide to stop running for office. Gingrich doesn’t have to win the presidency to make money all he has to do is run get a few donations and quit with millions all his money! All he has to do is claim it as campaign contributions and donations… The rich are junkies their drug of choice is money…
