The King has spoken, the Street King that is, 50 Cent stands up and speaks out in support of the Occupy Wall St & Occupy World Wide movements live from his Street King Facebook fan Page.
"Our Politicians are puppets for whoever pays them into office. That’s how fucked our system is. Their broken promises for change cant happen especially when the system is corrupt
And children who need a meal go without because our politicians won’t stop thinking of themselves long enough or how to win the next election, too look around them and see how bad it is.
You aren't helping Mr politician, things are getting worse here in the US, in Europe, Africa everywhere!
Im fuckn angry that Children are dying everyday.
There’s hard working people out there who do give a shit.
Problem is those with the power – government and big business, want this system to keep going. Its suits them
I don’t want to do business with these fuckers anymore. Do you?
if a company isn't giving back, stop buying from them. Buy a pair of shoes from TOMS (who give another pair to someone in need), look for companies that aren't paying lip service to community / charity
we are more powerful than the big business and politicians realize......we have the power to stop buying their products, banking with them.
your dollar, that you worked hard for, does have power.
together we can say – WAKE UP A-HOLES! The game is over.
50 cent
- want to shout out to Occupy Wall Street groups around the world. You are waking up the world, including me. Please keep up the peaceful protest, you are making a difference "
Awesome stuff, who could have said more better. Much respect to 50 Cent for stepping up on this in a major way.
While journalist and onlookers are still asking what is the Occupy movement all about (Were fighting the Man,duh) , NYC emcee Mk Ultra answers back in form of a question from the people "Who's the man ?".
Listen and you'll realize who the Man actually is .
Official music video for "Who's The Man" by hip-hop artist MK-ULTRA ft. Tara Mackey. Produced by Anno Domini Beats.
Revolutionary music is coming out Faster and more Furious than any ATF weapon deal ever could , this track goes hard as Illy Rap spits about everything from the New World Order, GMO's, the post 9/11 Anthrax scare, Lil Wayne , Corporate looting by Nike, the Federal Reserve and more.....
TROY DAVIS LIVES FOREVER, by Rebel Diaz (http://twitter.com/#!/RebelDiaz) and produced by Agent of Change (http://twitter.com/#!/agent_of_change), is a letter to Troy Davis, who was murdered by lethal injection on 21 September 2011, in spite of a massive international campaign for clemency. Sampling Billie Holiday's classic song 'Strange Fruit', the song highlights the parallels between traditional racism - where black people could be lynched by paramilitary mobs like the KKK - and the modern systemic racism where black people can be legally lynched on the orders of appointed officials.
Micheal Moore speaks once again with Luke Rudkowski of We are Change, this time clarifying his stance on the Federal Reserve. Good to see people are willing to put differences aside and , begin to open dialogue among the peoples Truth, Freedom, Occupy movements.
Fear has kept Humanity from moving forward for too long. The Occupy movement, if anything is a willingness to let go of Fear and make way for Love so it can begin to guide the destiny for mankind for a change.

After Olbermann and Bunch provided some background on Occupy Wall Street, Olbermann hit on the hypocrisy behind the mainstream media’s lack of coverage of the story, “Why isn’t any major news outlet covering this?
Do we have the crowd shots by any chance? Where you can see the dimensions? That one, that’s the one. If that’s a tea party protest in front of Wall Street about Ben Bernacke putting stimulus funds into it, it’s the lead story on every network newscast. How is that disconnect possible in this country today with so many different outlets and so many different ways of transmitting news?”
Bunch answered,
It is a real disconnect, and The New York Times I mean this is the hometown newspaper of Wall Street, and there has been no print articles in The New York Times to date with these people camping out down there for four or five days now. It’s crazy. I think three things are going on. I think one. I think the word disconnect that you used is a really good word, because I think a lot of people in newsrooms are still are not in touch with the real pain and the real suffering of 25 million Americans who are unemployed and underemployed and the struggle to make ends meet there, so there’s that.
I think there’s something else and the media critic Jay Rosen from NYU writes about this all the time which is, what he calls savvy, which is that it’s just kind of uncool for journalists to take these people who want to change the world seriously. You know, I’ve seen a lot of coverage like in the New York Observer’s coverage is to basically make fun of these people. Oh these are the guys with the masks we saw a couple of years ago weren’t they, and kind of put it down, and try to get at the bottom of what’s going on here. As far as the tea party, you know Keith, you and I both know newsrooms overreact at conservative harping. They’ve been doing it since Spiro Agnew.
Olbermann and Bunch concluded that there was the tea party got more coverage because their protesters looked more like the fifty somethings that are making decisions in newsrooms, and there was a man bites dog novelty factor to the fact that conservatives were out protesting, while these same organizations write off liberal protests.
The hypocrisy related to the lack of media coverage for this protest is obvious and undeniable. If twenty tea partiers stood in the very same spot and had announced that they were occupying Wall Street, it would have been all over the news. I think there is a great deal of truth in the idea that any protest that is deemed liberal gets classified by the media as non-news. Why this occurs is up for debate, but the message from the corporate run media is clear. It doesn’t matter how many people come out to protest in favor of collective bargaining or against the corruption on Wall St, the mainstream corporate media is not going to cover them.
The media refuses to acknowledge that they exist. In the case of Occupy Wall Street, I think the answer is something that Olbermann and Bunch didn’t mention. Each of the American media giants is owned by a corporation that is traded on Wall Street. Why would any of these outlets want to report on a story that could hurt the price of their stock if the protests got mainstream attention and picked up steam?
The corporate mainstream media is committed to blackout, and it is going to take the work of independent journalists like Olbermann, reporters, and websites to keep the public informed. Tonight we saw the difference between Countdown on Current and Countdown on MSNBC. I suspect that many of Keith’s viewers were already aware of Occupy Wall Street, but Olbermann deserves a tip of the hat for using some of his airtime to both raise awareness of the protest, and shed some light on the right wing hypocrites and suck ups in the supposedly liberal mainstream media.
Tonight Countdown on Current TV lived up to its independent media promise, and shed a bit of light on a protest that everyone should already know about.
