Jay Smooth on Occupy Wall Street and co-opting the movement

If you’ve never been aware of Jay Smooth and his IllDoctrine observations, analysis and insights you have missed out. His take on situations are almost always on point. This time is no different. Jay speaks on Occupy Wall Street and how some people aren’t “getting it”. Of this I can relate as in these previous weeks I’ve had to try to speak to the same extent to others in response to “What is this Occupy Wall Street thing about?” Jay is right that if you don’t get it then it’s probably not meant for you to get. The point I...

Writer’s Inappropriate Jab At Steve Jobs’ Alternative Medicine Use 0

Writer’s Inappropriate Jab At Steve Jobs’ Alternative Medicine Use

The headline that attracted my attention on Yahoo News was “Did Alternative Medicine Kill Steve Jobs? Well with that type of title you expect some sort of adverse reaction from an alternative treatment or a direct action resulting in Steve Jobs death. The article contains none of that. The article, seemingly aggregated from LiveScience.com which seems to have gotten it from their sister site MyHealthNewsDaily.com and written by a Rachael Rettner, repeatedly questions the use of alternative medicine and Jobs’ use of the approach. After Steve Jobs was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer in 2003, he allegedly...

Japanese Government To Spread Radioactive Rubble From Fukushima All Over Japan

  As if the Japanese people haven’t had it bad enough the Japanese government now wants to spread the radiated rubble from the Fukushima area around the country. The first stop is Japan’s most known city and home to the busiest intersection on the planet, Tokyo. Because obviously not enough people have been affected by the March disaster that consisted of a major tsunami, the largest earthquake in Japan’s recent history and a nuclear power plant meltdown that spewed radiation into the environment and raised radiation levels around the world. Tokyo’s local government officially accepted 1,000 tons of rubble from...

Bloomberg backs down on Occupy Wall Street “cleaning” eviction

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, billionaire (roughly $18 billion) and 13th richest person in the United States, announced a few days ago that the Wall Street occupiers needed to leave for a few days so that the park could be “cleaned”. Brookfield Properties, the owner of the park, said the park had become unsanitary since the occupation began so it needed to be power washed. Ok, fair enough on the park needing to be cleaned. That many people in such a closed space will cause that to be necessary. However they apparently weren’t extending the fairness of assumption of...

NY’s Billionaire Mayor Bloomberg Says Occupy Wall Street Is Trying To Destroy Jobs

Yes you read the title right. On his weekly radio show, Bloomberg said the Occupy Wall Street protests “aren’t productive” and not good for tourism. Wall Street is the pillar of the New York state economy, making up 13 percent of tax contributions. “The protests that are trying to destroy the jobs of working people in this city aren’t productive,” Bloomberg said. Michael Bloomberg is apparently clueless or just wants to ignore reality. The protesters are rallying against corruption in those jobs. What I’d like to ask the Mayor is how good is the greed and corruption in those industries...
