[harikaried]

http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201110061000

Forum (a call-in program) will have 5 guests tomorrow including..

- Anca Suiu, member of the media and information team for Occupy Wall Street
- Ryan Andreola, member of the communication working group for Occupy San Francisco

.. so I wonder if it'll be useful to try to talk to them about Ron Paul. But also there..

- Robert Reich, professor of public policy at UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy, former labor secretary under President Clinton and author of books including "Aftershock: The Next Economy and America's Future"

.. who might have been behind the Soros-side of starting Occupy Wall St:


Near simultaneously, the Keynesian, University of Berkeley professor and George Soros operative, Robert Reich put out a blog post calling for marches in the streets:

So let’s bag the picnics and parades this Labor Day. American workers should march in protest. They’re getting the worst deal they’ve had since before Labor Day was invented – and the economy is suffering as a result/

You'll be able to listen in: http://www.kqed.org/radio/listen/
And call in: 866-SF-Forum

Generally when calling in, you give your name and location and a short description of your question and comment. If the screener accepts, you'll listen to the show on the phone until they put you on live to speak. You'll probably only get about 30 seconds to say just a few sentences, so prepare ahead and be brief.

Any suggestions for what kinds of comments or questions to bring up to this guest list?

Why are they protesting on Wall St and around the country? The enablers and protectors of Fraud are on Capital Hill, the White House and Federal Reserve.

The politicians passed all the bailouts and legislation to give Banks, Wall St. and Corporations additional tax breaks, tax write-offs and tax credits for years prior and future tax years, sticking the debt on the taxpayers now and in the future and disguised under the hidden tax of inflation.

Why is the Bureau of Labor Statistics lying about the true unemployment numbers and why aren't they calculated under the more accurate old formula instead of the new formula that masks the true numbers and exposes government failures?

The FEDERAL RESERVE backed all the banks and corporations instead of putting them into receivership and ridding the bankrupt system of the failed mechanisms.

The FEDERAL RESERVE has completely failed at maintaining low inflation and low unemployment for years/decades, all to protect the investment bankers and government at the people's expense of massive debt, high inflation, and high unemployment.

The debt based monetary system in American is a failure... It only protects the powerful, connected, and big government.
