October 24: March on Wall Street
Federal Hall - 26 Wall Street
Nationally Coordinated, Local Mass Actions
October 24 - 27
A CALL TO ACTION
endorse volunteer/list local activity
donate to help with organizing expenses
The stock markets are crashing, the world economy is headed into a deep recession or even depression, and the U.S. government and its top bankers, along with their counterparts around the world, are giving what’s going to amount to trillions of dollars to bailout the richest 1 percent of the people WHILE DOING NOTHING TO RESCUE ORDINARY WORKING AND POOR PEOPLE!
We must stand up and say no to this injustice! NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT.
With that in mind, we are calling for Nationally Coordinated Local Days of Action on the weekend of October 24-27.
During October 24-27, organize marches and demonstrations in front of banks, especially JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citibank, or at your local Federal Reserve Bank. Organize a teach-in or a public hearing on the Wall Street crisis, etc.
IT’S TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO DECLARE AN ECONOMIC STATE OF EMERGENCY AND GIVE DIRECT HELP TO THE PEOPLE--NOT THE BANKS
The following are some of the growing list of emergency measures that people across the country will be raising at protests during the Days of Action:
- Emergency moratorium on home foreclosures and evictions
- No budget cuts in education, healthcare and all social services
- No layoffs, extend unemployment benefits
- No utility shut-offs
- Debt relief for students, poor and working people

subj: TPM Software (GSB27/JamesDD)
1. TPM Software
The new TPM blogging software with Movable Type has an IP-tracking feature, allowing blog managers to monitor incoming IP numbers.
2. Matching IP Numbers
Relying solely on the new TPM software, we've independenty established there are multiple IP's commonly linking GSB27 and JamesDD.
Both the names are linked to the University of Chicago; and there are parallel movements of the IP numbers between New Jersey and Chicago.
Thus, this comment, "Did not realize that GSB27 was my friend." does not reconcile with the matching IP data within TPM's new displays.
3. Wiki Updates
These common IP numbers are publicly associated with other information on the wikis and public websites. Of interest are the GSB/JamesDD IP numbers which match the wiki updates on Mary Beth Buchanan.
4. Hotel Reservation Information
One common feature of both ID's is that their IP numbers are jointly liked to online hotel reservation systems. This would suggest, if needed, there are credit card transactions on specific dates linked with a publicly disclosed website.
5. Exploring the TPM Software Takes Time
If you are interested in looking at the TPM new software, the comments still remaining on your TPM blog will highlight the GSB-JamesDD comments by IP number and name.
This is time consuming
For planning purposes, I would suggest you leave aside about a six-hour block of time to go through all the IPs; then map out the IDs-IPs for GSB and James.
Suggetions if you are interested, have the time to review the TPM comment-tracking software:
See if you can find patterns between the two ID's, using your new/revised TPM software which allows comment management.
6. Government Connections
Was unable to determine whether any of the IP's were masks used to cloak the connection with the US government, or any other official organization.

Subj: How to access the TPM IP data
It's not obvious how to do this. The format isn't very helpful.
First, sign-in.
Second, look for the "Blog Now" option on the upper right of TPM.
Third, look for "Create" and "Manage" in the upper left.
Fourth, clock on "Manage"
You will see a menu,"Homepage," "Menu" "Comments": Select "Comments"
You are at the "Manage Comments" feature. You will notice on the right side, the IP numbers are listed.
Click on one of the IP numbers.
This will take you to the search feature for IPs. Note, you can change the IP number to anything you want.
In the case of "our friends," you can track the common IP numbers.
You can search by name, if you change the tic-boxes below this search box.
Type these sample IP numbers in [without the brackets], as a demonstration:
A. [ 75.205.1 ]
or try this one:
B. [ 68.20 ]
Depending on what they did on your blog, there may or may not be similar matches.
C. [ 128.135 ]
D. The 75.206 series appears to hae leaked into the wiki. This means that the IP numbers James is using linked with the 75.206 prefix appear to substantially match his postings on Mary Beth Buchanan.
------------------------
What is your view on having your IP number disclosed to others who can look at your comments you've publicly posted on other blogs on TPM?
Personally, I am not impressed with TPM in releasing this IP-connected information to others on TPM. Perhaps you and others may wish to discuss publicly your views on the disclosure/access of IP-connected information.
