MMN is not a news outlet, we look at our surroundings and make commentary. The videos MMN shares today are from REAL talented reporters. I think it worthy of sharing and don't care if the stations are competitors.
Citizens will no longer be told to "eat cake". We all know there are problems. We may not know the depth and breadth of impaction these problems are, but we can't turn away or shake our heads to believe we can do nothing. "Whats to do?" I don't pretend to know. If we say nothing about the bad things around us, one day the knock will be on your own door, and it will be too late. People lost their homes from banking failures passing their behavior onto your back! It has taken 3 years to get folks fed up to stand UP. So, this is not a rant-bent reason for me to write a blog. It is why my people once left Russia fleeing for their lives. It is why your people came and all peoples still come here in the belief that America is a wonderful country. For a lot of people looking at us - we have only money issues. We are "lucky" to gripe as we do, and a military ready to defend us to continue to be free. Seldom will a US civilian die trying to better policy and procedure for yourself and those around you. You simply have to participate as a unified voice to create changes and better leadership behaviors. Many of you are part of the demand for change that is needed! THANK YOU - it is you who speak as you have found your voices - that will help make the changes that are needed from time to time. Including but not limited to Rhode Island - it's taken us the last 30 years of not really participating more than voting to bring about this latest evolution born of peaceful revolution. Only one or two isolated voices can be shoved aside. Penn State revelations are a startling example. It took a ton of courage to have one voice bring many forward. Even if OWS is a messy bunch, it was their protest/movement that prompted President Obama to do what he should have done as Job One in January 2009. Fixing underwater equity is better late than never. Having done so immediately would have stopped a mass bleed out unchecked - even today! Homes lost, jobs lost, real estate tumbling, no way to recover - until people could take no more. So, yes, it is upon US to watch THEM until the messages make changes.
Also of concern to MNN from ABC6 news was the story below - I hope people go to jail on this one. During these times, this story is as visceral as seeing someone steal a Salvation Army kettle ... do we all not respond as, "How dare they?" We'll be watching this one for accountability and legal action TBA
PS: ONE OF MY FAVORITE INVESTIGATIVE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND REPORTERS IS JIM HUMMEL. ALWAYS PLUGGED IN TO GATHERING THE BEST OF WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND US AND THE CHOPS TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS. FEARLESS GUY! PSS: I fixed your ability to comment below - so please do so agree or not, it is technically able for you to 'talk' to MMN and yourselves! :)
