Are you sure it's a Sydney funnel web?
Sydney funnel webs are black (especially the legs), this spider is brown. I'm not saying you're wrong - I've only ever seen pictures. It just doesn't seem the same as pictures depict it.

Because the international banking system is global, so too are the protests. The magnitude of the protests will have some relation to how screwed over the average citizen feels. For example there are lots of good reasons for people in the united states to be pissed off, but in the entire country of 300+Million, less than half the protesters were reported than the Spanish city of Madrid. Just one city in a country of only 46M.

Why? I don't know. Is it the poor media coverage? Do people not realize that they have a reason to be pissed off? Or that they really can change things if they get together? I will have to let our American friends offer better insight than I can.

The last time that the income gap was this extreme was immediately followed by the Great Depression, which was immediately followed by WWII. (Presently, I see a repeat of history from about 90 years ago in charts and other data.) The recent push to refresh in military technology, be it the F-35 White Elephant or the recent $35B Canadian navy contract, are not isolated only to NorthAm militaries. And I do believe that there is potential for some kind of blowback from NATO/US involvement in Libya/Iraq/Afghanistan etc. To what extent or force the blowback will or won't be remains to be seen. I hope the my spidey-senses and my surface reading of history are both very off on this point.

My prediction is that things will get worse before they get better. The recession in the U.S. is not a double dip, because it hasn't really gotten enough better to stop being a recession. Lots of soldiers are about to come home from Iraq, many will be discharged and not be able to find other non-military work. Greece will likely default or the process of preventing default will be so complicated that it will be seen as a lesser evil as opposed to a victory for the globalized financial casino markets, and some form of protest will continue or will be revived after a brief hiatus once a leak in the patchwork repair job springs true.

The real wildcard in Occupy Wall Street could be the reaction of those thousands of hard-working soldiers home from a long war to a country in protest. There are certainly a lot of factors to be considered. All I can say for certain is that something will come of Occupy.

Spidey aspires to be a headcrab one day.

My Spidey Web sense tingles at this, and leans towards setup. I guess it was how clear and defined the voice was. It could be coincidence, but it was something very clear and audible into the mic.

Any attention is good attention, I suppose, for the Palins.

Exactly what I thought on seeing the spidey trailer. (Still wanna see it though)

Fencing stolen information? You mean publishing whistleblower documents?
Assangle published the finook traitor's stolen classified documents. That's a crime.
You should check out dystopianfuturetoday's video about that. It's even broadcast on your favorite news station.
You mean America's favorite news station?
A foreign enemy like bin laden? If he would, he'd have been free for at least 10 more years.
The wikiclown isn't a diaperheaded billionaire with a network of jihadist vermin. But it sure looks like he could've used a spidey hole about now.


No. It's not a crime. Manning committed the crime. Then he blabbed about it and is getting what he deserves.

Uncovering secrets is what real journalism is all about.

What's going on here is pure fucking evil perpetrated by the incestuous marriage of business and politics.

When it comes to shining a light on the truth that none of you fucks are free, the cables, the collateral murder video and all the rest is nothing compared to the reaction to them, by business and politics.

Hmmm, my Fake Spidey senses are tingling about this one.

I see you getting banned. my spidey ban senses are tingling. that Eskimo shit you said was right retarded.

not because of that, but if thats the mentality you have, your going to fuck up big, sometime and the hammer will fall.

my spidey senses tell me it's erik mongrain.

Terrible. Every time they reinvent the iconic classic appearance of a superhero, it always ends with them going back to the original. I suspect WW will be her old self in a couple years. They've modified Spidey's costume a number of times, and I've always thought the black costume was awesome, but in the end he's always reverted back to the red and blue.

I didn't peg you as a "Pottery Barn" kind of guy....
