Occupy Hartford: 10052011
Today I was lucky to be present for Occupation Hartford's meeting at Bushnell Park in downtown Hartford, CT, USA. Being that my health is what it is (lacking in good health), I never would have imagined that I would witness, first-hand, this historical moment in the making. If you are a MissNikkiAnn's House reader, you know that I have been following Anonymous (Anon) for a while now, long before they (and their idea) became mainstream.
No, I was not and am not feeling well at all (I am actually in the middle of a Dysautonomia flare), and this was the perfect reason to get out there with my walker and Sir. Being a chronic illness patient means having to deal with a system that wishes you didn't exist, so I went (shouldering all the pain and symptoms), to be sure that a movement such as this one got the spotlight that it needs to flourish.
Occupy Hartford represents all of us (middle and lower class alike, sick and chronically ill, children and adults) who have been left behind by a system that wasted our hard-earned resources. This is what fed-up America looks like...
I will keep you posted.

Occupy Wall Street: Global Revolution's Livestream
Just press play! America, this is about you and the future of your country. The future always, ALWAYS begins in the present. Let's do our best to make the most out of these recent efforts by the American Citizen Collective (ACC).

MissNikkiAnn's Reaction To: "London Riots. (The BBC will never replay this. Send it out)"
Wow! She just randomly called him out as a rioter! Demonstrating is NOT equivalent to rioting. And being at a "demonstration" that TURNS into a riot is not the same as actively seeking and going out to riot.
Wow...I thought our own (America's own) CNN was rubbish, but BBC just put a bad taste in my mouth. And the bad taste in my mouth has nothing to do with the London Riots, it has to do with garbage journalism and reporting; and this is coming from a woman (ME) who's has worked in the media and pursued a graduate degree in communications and journalism (one semester short of a degree that I stopped pursuing in 2001). I say that for those naysayers out there who might ASSUME that I have no authority on the matter.
The reporter reminds me of Oprah, always asking questions and never being patient enough to hear the full answer. That's not what being a journalist (news reporter, interviewer) is about. Let the interviewee tell the story. Or if you're the storyteller, pain the picture and try really hard not to color with your emotions. Journalists in WWI had to deal with a lot of emotional and dangerous pressure, but even they were capable of refraining from forcing their biased opinions on the story and story-makers. Can you image bombs dropping and trying to maintain your composure and wits? This journalist is sitting in a cushion-y office, popping off at the mouth. All she had to do was shut up and listen, he was doing all of the storytelling himself. People and their egoic need for control and their egoic need for the spotlight have ruined the field of journalism. Media my azz!
As a journalist, be a slave to the story. Follow THE STORY. The story will lead you to greatness. And a pure journalist is in it for the story, not for fame or fortune. They want to disseminate TRUTH to the masses.
"Be good.
Be patient.
Be in the moment.
Be open to allowing the story to be told."

Riots by The Amazing Atheist v. Knowledge of the United Kingdom?
I watched a video called "Riots" by The Amazing Atheist (you gotta press the link to view it: Watch "RIOTS!" on YouTube. ) and KNEW right off the bat that his UK followers were gonna be pissed about his not knowing the difference between the UK, Great Britain and England (and so forth?). I only know what I know because of a wonderful YouTube video. And so this is how the story goes...
Oh, and FYI: The "Riots" video is pretty good (funny more than anything else), and it does show Americans' lack of care for understanding the makeup of the United Kingdom...um...Great Britain...I mean...

30 Years Ago Today: The Day the Middle Class Died | MichaelMoore.com
This is a great read for people in their 20s and younger. As for me, born in the 70s, I actually remember the time Michael Moore speaks of.
