I get lots of flack for supporting an establishment pol like Bernie Sanders but----as with the 2008 Presidential election LEFT DEMOCRATS DID NOT HAVE A CHOICE. Bernie was most likely to have walked away from being a global Wall Street player but of course we always knew he very well was that global Wall Street player.
Remember those revolutionaries in Europe, Africa, Ottoman Empire who were the declining MERCHANTS OF VENICE wanting to bring down KINGS AND QUEENS for their wealth and trade? We talked of Jewish Jacobins pretending to be SOCIALISTS-----we talked of the MERCHANTS OF VENICE being humanists---not really those Catholics------inflaming the masses to revolution. They were not the leaders of the 99% ----they were working to rebuild their own wealth ready to return to being those ENSLAVING THE 99% AS GLOBAL MERCHANTS.
Flash forward to today-------WE THE PEOPLE FEELING THE BERN for a social revolution. The Global Green Corporation Party is using those same revolutionary themes. Even those global Wall Street players for CLINTON/OBAMA are out there PRETENDING TO FEEL THE REVOLUTIONARY BERN-----most being freemasons, frats/sororities -----but feeling left socialist all the while. WHITE, BLACK, AND BROWN CITIZEN 5% TO THE 1% MOVING TO DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST----just as in the days of the French Revolution--
SAME OLD WORLD GLOBAL 1% AND THEIR 2% MERCHANTS OF VENICE-----WANTING TO LEAD OUR 99% WE THE PEOPLE REVOLUTION.
Below we see a picture of a BERNIE SANDERS MEETS NEW YORK GOVERNOR CUOMO=====both will tell us they are not practicing their Jewish and Catholic religions. Both are posing left socialist with policies that are enslaving.
BERNIE SANDERS POSED FDR SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC AND NOW HE IS BEING SHOWN ALL OVER MEDIA BACKING THE WORST OF FAR-RIGHT GLOBAL WALL STREET POLICY.
BERNIE IS THAT JACOBIN SOCIALIST-------A SLEEPER COMING OUT TO LEAD THE 99% REVOLUTION!

Could New York's free college tuition plan spread across the U.S.?
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, left, is joined by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, center, and Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York William C. Thompson, as he speaks during an event at LaGuardia Community College, Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017, in New York.
NEW YORK -- Hundreds of thousands of New York students would be able to attend college for free under a proposal announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to make state universities tuition-free for residents earning $125,000 or less.
The Democrat unveiled his plan Tuesday at LaGuardia Community College in Queens alongside U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Sanders, who pushed for free tuition at all U.S. public colleges during his Democratic presidential campaign, called Cuomo’s proposal “revolutionary.”
Comparing student loan debt to “starting a race with an anchor tied to your leg,” Cuomo said his Excelsior Scholarship program, if approved by lawmakers, would apply to full-time students who attend State University of New York or City University of New York colleges, including two-year community colleges.
“It should be a wake-up call to this nation,” Cuomo said, “to say if you really want to be competitive globally, we have to have the best educated workforce, and that means we have to have college for every child, man or woman who wants to attend.”
But many questions remain about how much it will cost, how it will affect one of the country’s largest public college systems and whether other states will follow suit.
The following Q&A answers some of the questions many have about the proposed program.
___
Q: What’s the plan?
A: Full-time New York students whose families earn less than $125,000 a year would pay no tuition to attend two- or four-year colleges in the State University of New York or City University of New York systems. The plan, if approved by state lawmakers, would be phased in over three years, beginning this fall for residents making up to $100,000 a year. The income threshold would increase to $110,000 in 2018 and $125,000 in 2019.
___
Q: So college would be free?
A: No. Students wouldn’t have to pay the $6,470 yearly cost of tuition ($4,350 for two-year programs), but they’d still have to pick up the cost of room and board if they live on campus ($12,590), along with fees ($1,590) and books. They would also have to graduate on time, meaning in two years for an associate degree and four years for a bachelor’s, if they want to avoid tuition bills.
___
Q: How much will this cost?
A: Cuomo’s office estimates the state’s cost at $163 million a year once the program is fully phased in, a figure that’s seen by some critics as too low.
“If it costs so little, why haven’t we done it before?” asked Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, a Manhattan Democrat who chairs the Higher Education Committee.
More financial detail may come when the governor releases his budget proposal later this month, but his administration says the program will leverage the state’s existing aid programs, particularly the Tuition Assistance Program, which provides nearly $1 billion in grants to students with taxable incomes of up to $80,000 a year. Under Cuomo’s program, students would still receive TAP, along with any federal grants, and the state would pay the tuition difference.
___
Q: Won’t this create a rush on SUNY/CUNY schools, possibly making it more difficult to get accepted?
A: SUNY leaders say it’s too soon to estimate the impact on applications and enrollment, but the Cuomo administration says it’s confident the 64-campus, 440,000-student system can absorb what it projects will be a 10 percent enrollment increase. The system remains selective, though, and SUNY said its academic standards aren’t expected to change.
The state’s 29 four-year schools received 309,408 applications for the fall of 2015 and accepted 162,673 students, according to the state.
___
Q: Will this program affect private colleges?
A: Yes and no. The program doesn’t cover tuition for colleges outside SUNY and CUNY. Operators of those schools, though, say leaving them out of the college affordability discussion could leave them at a disadvantage when it comes to attracting applicants in a highly competitive landscape.
“There will be a real pull that SUNY and CUNY have on students that our not-for-profit privates will not always be able to match,” said Mary Beth Labate, president of the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities.
More than 490,000 students are enrolled in the state’s more than 100 private, not-for-profit colleges. The schools provided $5.1 billion in financial aid to their students in 2014-15 and directly employ 196,300 people, Labate said.
The independent colleges would rather see the state expand TAP, increasing awards or raising the income threshold, which Labate said would preserve student choice because the grant follows the student.
The requirement that federal aid, as well as state aid, is factored in doesn’t sit well with advocates for poor students, who say they’ll be left with less to pay for transportation, food and housing.
___
Q: Will this idea spread?
A: “If New York state does it this year, mark my words, state after state will follow,” independent Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders said when Cuomo announced the program this week.
Sanders made tuition-free public higher education a key proposal of his Democratic campaign for president, and Hillary Clinton picked up on it as the Democratic nominee, but Republican nominee Donald Trump had different ideas about how to make college affordable. Trump, who won the election, said he wants to work with Congress to make sure colleges only get access to certain federal tax breaks and other benefits if they “make good-faith efforts to reduce the cost of college and student debt.”
Democratic President Barack Obama proposed free community college in 2015, saying six states and communities had created programs similar to what he proposed. He said lawmakers in more than 10 other states have introduced legislation providing for free community college.
Tennessee and Oregon have enacted programs to cover residents’ tuition costs at community colleges, but New York’s would be the first statewide plan to cover four years of tuition, Cuomo’s office said.

If one didn't understand Bernie's campaign tours and who were seen meeting with Bernie ---here in Baltimore everyone understand that the EMPOWERMENT TEMPLE------AND JAMAL BRYANT are global Wall Street players and tied to freemasonry. The 99% of black citizens here in Baltimore do not see these 5% to the 1% as EMPOWERING THEM. So, here is Bernie in a national black media outlet being shown meeting with the very structures that have captured our US economy and politics THESE FEW DECADES OF CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA. If Bernie was indeed a left social Democrat he would not have made nice all across the nation with groups tied to global Wall Street. We have hundreds of black religious leaders serving hundreds of thousands of poor black citizens-----and Bernie walks a poor black community slated to become that CITY CENTER FILLED WITH THE GLOBAL 1% AND THEIR 2%---a wealthy community.
This image is that same old world decline of MERCHANTS OF VENICE----global Wall Street players PRETENDING TO BE LEFT SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC. It was when Bernie chose the EMPOWERMENT TEMPLE for his Baltimore appearance that the fix was in-----global Wall Street-----pretending to be creating a revolution for WE THE PEOPLE 99%.

Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders Meets with Black Pastors
NNPAFreddie
December 17, 2015
(Left to right) Lisa M. Weah, president of the Freddie Gray Community Association, Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), and Reverend Jamal Bryant, the pastor and founder of Empowerment Temple Church walk through the Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood in Baltimore, Md. (Freddie Allen/AMG/NNPA News Wire)
When presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) met with a group of Black civic and religious leaders in Baltimore, Md., Jamal Bryant, the pastor and founder of Empowerment Temple Church said that it was critical for the senator to have a conversation with those who are the eyes and ears of the Black community.
Bryant said that Sanders needed to see the realities of Baltimore and the struggles of everyday working people and not just the rejuvenated Inner Harbor.
During a walking tour through the poverty-stricken Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood, Sanders noted the boarded up row houses and the lack of grocery stores in the community, as residents shouted, “Don’t forget Freddie Gray!” and “Can you bring some jobs down here?”
After a questionable arrest last April, Gray, 25 suffered a severe spinal cord injury while in police custody and died a week later. As residents took to the streets in peaceful protests against police brutality, others looted and burned stores drawing national media attention.
Following the walking tour, Sanders joined social justice and faith leaders for a round table discussion where they discussed a number of issues including education, housing and mass incarceration.
“You know how much money we’re spending a year locking people up? Eighty billion dollars a year, locking up fellow Americans,” said Sanders. “So, it seems to me to be an absolute no-brainer that you take some of that money, you rebuild the housing here in Baltimore putting people to work and when you put people to work they’re not going to end up in jail, because they have some pride, they have some income.”
Sanders said that his support for tuition-free public colleges and universities may seem like a radical idea, but it isn’t.
But Lezli Baskerville, the president and CEO of the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO), a group that advocates for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and predominantly Black institutions (PBIs), expressed concerns that Sanders’ vision for tuition-free public colleges may have unintended adverse effects on enrollment at HBCUs.
Baskerville said that HBCUs account for three percent of America’s colleges and universities, but graduate 50 percent of African American teaching professionals, 60 percent of African American health professionals and 42 percent of the Blacks who pursue careers in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM).
Baskerville suggested implementing a program that invested more in those schools that are educating the lion share of the growing population of minority students.
Sanders said that he visited a number of HBCUs in South Carolina and that he was aware of the extraordinary role HBCUs played in educating Black students, but that they have to be adequately funding and supported. Sanders recommended a major expansion in funding for Pell grants, admitting that it would cost money initially, but save money later by cutting the unemployment rate in the long run.
The group also discussed the need for greater economic equality and empowerment in the Black community.
“It’s easy for African Americans to get a loan for a used car, but very hard for us to get a loan to start a business,” said Bryant.
Rev. S. Todd Yeary agreed.
Yeary, the senior pastor of the Douglas Memorial Community Church in Baltimore, Md., and an adjunct professor in the College of Public Affairs at the University of Baltimore said that access to capital is the new redlining.
“If we go back to the genesis of the Great Recession, one of the byproducts was that the ‘Big Banks’ survived and now thrive and community banks which have often been the anchors and the facilitators to access capital…got stretched out of business,” said Yeary.
Yeary said that bank branches are lacking in the Sandtown-Winchester community, but liquor stores and corner stores where residents often endure high transaction fees to cash paychecks are plentiful.
Yeary wanted to know what Sanders could do from the executive branch to force a different kind compliance and application to the access to capital.
“It is very expensive to be poor,” said Sanders, adding, “Clearly, we need a revolution in financial services. After we bailed out the major financial institutions, because they were too big to fail, the three largest are now bigger than they were when we bailed them out.”
Sanders continued: “I would be lying to you if I didn’t tell you that we are living in a political system which, in a lot of ways, is corrupt, which is designed to benefit the people on top and an economic system that is rigged to benefit the people on top. If the goal of this whole thing is to create quality, affordable housing those problems can be solved, if that is not the goal then those problems will never be solved.”
Sanders said that the U.S. has the intelligence, the resources and the workers to invest in low-income communities.
“But the bottom line is there has to be a will to make that happen, and right now in America, there is not that will,” Sanders said.
Sanders lamented the trillions of dollars wasted on what he called “perpetual warfare” that some members of Congress have embraced.
“Think about if we had a fraction of that energy and that interest in Congress, where people were giving passionate speeches about the [Sandtown-Winchester] community that we just saw and communities like that all over this country,” said Sanders. “Think we could solve the problems? I think we could.”
Sanders also said that he supported greater investments in early childhood education, an urban jobs program centered on housing construction, dismantling the for-profit, private prison industry, and reinvesting in community banks.
“When there’s no will, there are a hundred different impediments that are placed in front of us to do nothing,” said Sanders. “I have the will.”

Freemasonry as Spreader of the Jacobin Revolutions
The Philosophy of Freemasonry
The Archbishop of Port-Louis, Monsignor Leon Meurin, says in his work "Philosophy of Freemasonry":
"In the year 1844, Disraeli placed the following words in the mouth of the Jew Sidonia (Coningsby VI. XV.):
'Since English society has begun to stir and its institutions are threatened by powerful associations, they see the formerly so faithful Jews in the ranks of the revolutionaries... This mysterious diplomacy, which so disturbs the western powers, is organised by Jews and for the greatest part also carried out by them... the monstrous revolution, which is prepared in Germany, and whose effects will be still greater than those of the Reformation, is carried out under the protectorate of the Jews. Leading its preparations and effects in Germany I see a Lithuanian Jew, in the Spanish Senor Mendizabal, I see a Jew from Aragon; in the President of the French Council, Marshal Soult, I recognise the son of a French Jew; in the Prussian minister, Graf Arnim, I see a Jew. As you already see, dear Coningsby, the world is ruled by personages who are very different from those who are regarded as ruling and do not work behind the scenes.'
-- Benjamin Disraeli, "Coningsby", chapter XV
"During the revolution of 1848, which was led by the Grand Orient of France, its grandmaster, the Jew Cremieux was minister of Justice. In 1860 this man founded 'the Israelite International League' and announced with incomprehensible insolence in the year 1861, in the 'Israelite Archives' (page 651), 'that in place of Popes and Caesars, a new kingdom, a new Jerusalem, will arise.' And our good Freemasons with their blind eyes help the Jews in the 'great work' of building up this new temple of Solomon, this new Caesarean-Papal kingdom of the Cabbalists!
"In the year 1862, a Berlin Freemason had a leaflet of eight pages printed, in which he complained about the predominance of Jews in the lodges. Under the title 'Signs of the Time', he alludes to the dangerous character of the Berlin elections of 28th April and 6th May of the year in question.
'An element', he said, 'has appeared on the scene and has exercised a dangerous influence which causes disintegration on all sides: the Jew. The Jews are leading in their writings, words and deeds; they are the most principal leaders and agents in all revolutionary undertakings, even in the building of barricades. One has seen this very clearly in Berlin in the year 1848. How is it possible that, in Berlin, 217 Jewish candidates were elected, and that, in two districts, only Jews were elected with the exclusion of any Christian candidates?'
"This position of things has worsened more and more. The Jews form the majority in the city government, so that Berlin with justice could be called the capital of the Jews.
"In the press the Jews speak of the 'people' and of the 'Nation', as if there were only Jews and no Christians existed. The explanation for this could be given by the 'Freemasonic inciters' who, following Brother Lamartine, introduced the revolutions of 1789, 1830, 1848, etc. This explanation is confirmed by 'Brother Garnier Pages', a minister of the Republic, who, in the year 1848, publicly declared that the revolution of 1848 represents the triumph of the norms of the Freemasons league, so that France was dedicated to Freemasonry, and that 40,000 Freemasons had promised their help to conduct to an end the glorious work of the erection of the Republic, which had been chosen to spread out over the whole of Europe and in the end over the entire earth."
"The high peak of all this is the political and revolutionary power of the Jews, according to the words of J. Weil, leader of the Jewish Freemasons, who in a secret report said: 'We exercise a powerful influence on the movements of our time and of the progress of civilisation in the direction of the Republicanising of the peoples.'
"The Jew Ludwig Boerne, another Freemasonic leader, said likewise in a secret document: 'We have with mighty hand so much shattered the pillars upon which the old building rests that they groan and crack.' Mendizabal, likewise a Jew and the soul of the Spanish revolution of 1820, set through the capture of Porto and Lisbon, and in 1838, by means of his Freemasonic influence, realised the revolution in Spain, where he became Prime Minister."
And his Excellence, the Archbishop, goes on to say:
"The Jew Mendizabal had promised as minister to improve the insecure financial position of Spain; but in a short time the result of his machinations was a frightful increase of the national debt and a great diminishing of the State incomes, while he and his friends accumulated enormous riches. The sale of more than 900 Christian institutions of a religious and charitable kind, which the 'Cortesa', upon the instigation of the Jews, had declared to be national property, created for them a magnificent opportunity for the unparalleled increase of their personal property. In the same manner church property was dealt with. The unskilful mockery of religious and national feelings went so far that the mistress of Mendizabal dared to flaunt herself in public with a wonderful necklace, which a short time previously had served to decorate an image of the Holy Virgin Mary in one of the churches of Madrid.
"The Berlin Freemason, whom we mentioned at the beginning, said further:
'The danger for the throne and the altar, which are threatened by the Jewish power, has reached its highest point, and it is time to sound alarm, just as the leaders of German Freemasonry did when they said: 'The Jews have understood that 'the kingly art' (the Freemasonic art) was a principal means to erect their own secret kingdom... The danger threatens not only our Order, Freemasonry, but the State in general... The Jews find manifold opportunities in the lodges, to exercise their old familiar systems of briberies; by their sowing confusion in many affairs. If one bears in mind the role that the Jews played in the crimes of the French revolution and the illegal Corsican seizure of property, if one also bears in mind the tenacious belief of the Jews in a future Israelite kingdom which will rule over the world, as well as their influence on a great number of ministers of State, one will recognise how dangerous their activity can become in Freemasonic affairs. The Jewish people forms a tribe, which hostilely opposes the entire human race, and which believes the God of Israel has only chosen one people, to whom all others must serve as 'footstools.'
"Let it be borne in mind that among the 17 million inhabitants of Prussia there are only 600,000 Jews; let it be borne in mind with what convulsive zeal this people of Oriental and irrepressible activity works to attain the overthrow of the State with all means; to occupy the higher teaching institutions, even by means of money, and to monopolise the government offices in its favour.
"Carlile, one of the most authoritative Freemasonic personages, says (page 86): 'The Freemasonry of the Grand Lodge is at present through and through Jewish.'
"The 'Kreuz-Zeitung', the principal organ of the Prussian conservatives, published, from 29th June to 3rd July 1875, a series of articles, in which it elaborated that the chief ministers in the German and Prussian government, not excluding Prince Bismarck, found themselves in the hands of the Jewish kings of the Bourse, and that the Jewish bankers were those who in practice ruled Prussia and Germany. These facts caused the Jew Gutzkow to assert: 'The true founders of the new German Reich are the Jews; the Jews are the most advanced in all sciences, the press, the stage and politics.'
"In the year 1860 M. Stamm wrote a book on this theme, in which he proves that the kingdom of all-embracing freedom on earth was founded by the Jews. In the same year, Sammter published a long letter in the 'Volksblatt', in order to demonstrate that the Jews would very soon take up the place of the Christian nobility; the rule of the nobility was falling and will lose its place in this epoch of all enveloping light and of all embracing freedom, to which we have drawn so near.
'Do you not understand', he writes, 'the true meaning of the promise, which was given by the Lord God Sabaoth to our father Abraham? This promise, which will be fulfilled with certainty, namely that one day all peoples of earth will be subject to Israel. Do you believe that God referred to a universal monarchy with Israel as King? Oh no! God scattered the Jews over the entire surface of the globe, so that they should form a kind of leaven over all races, and in the end, as the chosen, which they are, extend their rulership over the former.'
'It is not likely that the terrible repression that the Christian peoples of Europe have suffered -- who have been made poor through the usurers and the greed of the Jews and lament about this, so that the national wealth is accumulated in the hands of the great bankers -- will be satisfied with isolated anti-Semitic upheavals. The monarchies, whose firm foundations are still not shattered through the Freemasonic hammer and whose ruling houses are still not at the position of the ragged and barefooted Freemasons who have their eyes bound, will join together against this vile sect and destroy the ranks of the Anarchists.'
"Carlile, himself a fanatical Freemason, horrified at the fate of mankind in the hands of the Jews, says: 'When the legislators busy themselves again with the secret societies, they would do well to make no exception in favour of Freemasonry.'
"The privilege of secrecy is allowed to the Freemasons according to law in England, France, Germany and, according to our recognising it, in most countries. The fact that all revolutions emanate from the depths of Freemasonry would be inexplicable, if we did not know that, with the present exception of Belgium, the ministries of all lands are found in the hands of leading Freemasons, thus fundamentally, of the Jews."

I have the debate all the time of white privilege being instilled in all white citizens. When we saw yesterday a HARVARD UNIVERSITY in the earliest years of colonial America bringing a black citizen PRINCE HALL into freemasonry pushing him to spread this throughout black America----while getting him to recruit black slaves in the American Revolution fighting for the KINGS AND QUEENS OF ENGLAND----we saw that old world global 1% and their 2% grabbing control of wealth and political powe in America. This one act---PRINCE HALL----is what captured all black citizens to being that global Wall Street player to old world MERCHANTS OF VENICE AND KINGS AND QUEENS. Harvard, Princeton, Yale----were built in colonial America just to grow the wealth and power of old world global 1% and their 2%. If you play for team IVY LEAGUE----you will simply be used to grow the wealth of global 1% and then be thrown under the bus----from 1776 to 1970s====two hundred years-----the global 1% and their 2% used WE THE PEOPLE to grow wealth in America----then simply stepped in with CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA to take it all back to those same old world global 1% and their 2%-----yes, they were the rich white men---the ones the 99% of white citizens have been fighting for thousands of years because they enslave white citizens TOO.
FOR TWO HUNDRED YEARS WE THE PEOPLE GREW WEALTH, ADDED POWER, PARTICIPATED IN GOVERNANCE----WHILE THOSE 5% TO THE 1% WALL STREET PLAYERS ACTUALLY THOUGHT THEY WERE WORKING TO BE GLOBAL MERCHANTS OF VENICE ---AND NOT SIMPLY BEING USED AS TOOLS.
Over these few centuries IVY LEAGUEs used scholarships to identify the most SHOW ME THE MONEY of low-income citizens to endoctrinate to global Wall Street and being those global MERCHANTS OF VENICE. These few decades of CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA saw these scholarships soar as those grads were sent back to US cities to be those global Wall Street players. IVY LEAGUE Johns Hopkins completely controlled low-income communities and leadership with these policies as did the other IVY LEAGUES----
WELCOME TO THE CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA RIGGED ELECTIONS MOVING ONLY GLOBAL WALL STREET PLAYERS INTO GOVERNMENT POSITIONS.
Below we see only one example---I'm not picking on McFadden alone----white, black, brown citizens running for office in Baltimore----or Maryland have these same kinds of backgrounds---
AND YES, MARYLAND AND BALTIMORE ARE FILLED WITH THE SAME OLD WORLD MERCHANTS OF VENICE DO ANYTHING TO ACCUMULATE WEALTH AND GROW GLOBAL MARKETS.
All Baltimore leaders ---all media----all organizational leaders, business leaders-----are tied to these frats/sororities---freemasonry-----and it makes for an EXCLUSIVE CROWD working for the same global Wall Street goals.

Could New York's free college tuition plan spread across the U.S.?

NEW YORK -- Hundreds of thousands of New York students would be able to attend college for free under a proposal announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to make state universities tuition-free for residents earning $125,000 or less.
The Democrat unveiled his plan Tuesday at LaGuardia Community College in Queens alongside U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Sanders, who pushed for free tuition at all U.S. public colleges during his Democratic presidential campaign, called Cuomo’s proposal “revolutionary.”
Comparing student loan debt to “starting a race with an anchor tied to your leg,” Cuomo said his Excelsior Scholarship program, if approved by lawmakers, would apply to full-time students who attend State University of New York or City University of New York colleges, including two-year community colleges.
“It should be a wake-up call to this nation,” Cuomo said, “to say if you really want to be competitive globally, we have to have the best educated workforce, and that means we have to have college for every child, man or woman who wants to attend.”
But many questions remain about how much it will cost, how it will affect one of the country’s largest public college systems and whether other states will follow suit.
The following Q&A answers some of the questions many have about the proposed program.
___
Q: What’s the plan?
A: Full-time New York students whose families earn less than $125,000 a year would pay no tuition to attend two- or four-year colleges in the State University of New York or City University of New York systems. The plan, if approved by state lawmakers, would be phased in over three years, beginning this fall for residents making up to $100,000 a year. The income threshold would increase to $110,000 in 2018 and $125,000 in 2019.
___
Q: So college would be free?
A: No. Students wouldn’t have to pay the $6,470 yearly cost of tuition ($4,350 for two-year programs), but they’d still have to pick up the cost of room and board if they live on campus ($12,590), along with fees ($1,590) and books. They would also have to graduate on time, meaning in two years for an associate degree and four years for a bachelor’s, if they want to avoid tuition bills.
___
Q: How much will this cost?
A: Cuomo’s office estimates the state’s cost at $163 million a year once the program is fully phased in, a figure that’s seen by some critics as too low.
“If it costs so little, why haven’t we done it before?” asked Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, a Manhattan Democrat who chairs the Higher Education Committee.
More financial detail may come when the governor releases his budget proposal later this month, but his administration says the program will leverage the state’s existing aid programs, particularly the Tuition Assistance Program, which provides nearly $1 billion in grants to students with taxable incomes of up to $80,000 a year. Under Cuomo’s program, students would still receive TAP, along with any federal grants, and the state would pay the tuition difference.
___
Q: Won’t this create a rush on SUNY/CUNY schools, possibly making it more difficult to get accepted?
A: SUNY leaders say it’s too soon to estimate the impact on applications and enrollment, but the Cuomo administration says it’s confident the 64-campus, 440,000-student system can absorb what it projects will be a 10 percent enrollment increase. The system remains selective, though, and SUNY said its academic standards aren’t expected to change.
The state’s 29 four-year schools received 309,408 applications for the fall of 2015 and accepted 162,673 students, according to the state.
___
Q: Will this program affect private colleges?
A: Yes and no. The program doesn’t cover tuition for colleges outside SUNY and CUNY. Operators of those schools, though, say leaving them out of the college affordability discussion could leave them at a disadvantage when it comes to attracting applicants in a highly competitive landscape.
“There will be a real pull that SUNY and CUNY have on students that our not-for-profit privates will not always be able to match,” said Mary Beth Labate, president of the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities.
More than 490,000 students are enrolled in the state’s more than 100 private, not-for-profit colleges. The schools provided $5.1 billion in financial aid to their students in 2014-15 and directly employ 196,300 people, Labate said.
The independent colleges would rather see the state expand TAP, increasing awards or raising the income threshold, which Labate said would preserve student choice because the grant follows the student.
The requirement that federal aid, as well as state aid, is factored in doesn’t sit well with advocates for poor students, who say they’ll be left with less to pay for transportation, food and housing.
___
Q: Will this idea spread?
A: “If New York state does it this year, mark my words, state after state will follow,” independent Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders said when Cuomo announced the program this week.
Sanders made tuition-free public higher education a key proposal of his Democratic campaign for president, and Hillary Clinton picked up on it as the Democratic nominee, but Republican nominee Donald Trump had different ideas about how to make college affordable. Trump, who won the election, said he wants to work with Congress to make sure colleges only get access to certain federal tax breaks and other benefits if they “make good-faith efforts to reduce the cost of college and student debt.”
Democratic President Barack Obama proposed free community college in 2015, saying six states and communities had created programs similar to what he proposed. He said lawmakers in more than 10 other states have introduced legislation providing for free community college.
Tennessee and Oregon have enacted programs to cover residents’ tuition costs at community colleges, but New York’s would be the first statewide plan to cover four years of tuition, Cuomo’s office said.

“Wall Street Hero” Governor 1% Andrew Cuomo Receives a Well-deserved Public Smackdown
Harry Waisbren

On Thursday I joined hundreds of activists occupying our state Capitol to demand a New York that works for #AllOfUs, not only the 1%.
Dozens of groups came together to stop Governor Andrew Cuomo’s (D-NY) plan to literally take from the poor to give to the rich. The Occupy Network (of which I am a team member) was a partner in the effort and the act.tv team (I am a co-founder) dug in deeply. Check out a highlight video of the occupation below from our creative director Brad Gans and more on Cuomo’s page on our site:
This action took place in anticipation of the last week of state budget negotiations. It became necessary because our Governor 1% actually had the audacity to propose tax cuts that are specifically for millionaires and billionaires. In the state that is #1 in inequality in the country at that! But the local angle alone misses the broader national context.
Point blank: the 1% has collectively seen the rise of an occupy-inspired progressive populist message that is resonating across the country and is responding full force through Gov. Cuomo.
A telling article in Politico, the power establishment’s favorite outlet, entitled The Rich Strike Back went so far as to refer to him as “Wall Street’s newest hero.” The piece cheered on what they see as certain victory over a movement irredeemably weakened by newly inaugurated NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio. And what are his great failures? He is doing a poor job pleasing the 1% and their media enablers, of course.
Moreover, the piece spotlights openly named sources schizophrenically relating occupiers and populists alike to Nazis. Because why wouldn’t defeated political novices also be like the most horrific fascist empire of all time?
Unfortunately these are the elites we have to deal with, and due to their mix of insane logic and cognitive dissonance, good-faith negotiation has become all but impossible. Towards these ends, as Martin Luther King Jr. explains: "Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue."
It is in this spirit that 59 activists were arrested committing civil disobedience, including myself.
I went down chanting one of the main OWS clarion calls, “All day, all week - Occupy, Wall Street!” I don’t think it could have possibly been more appropriate to boot in light of Cuomo’s newly christened official status as Wall Street’s hero.
More broadly, the direct action was designed to expose the blatant quid pro quo that exists between Governor Cuomo and the 1%. It entailed us blocking the doorway to the governor’s office while a so called "pop-up occupation" commenced with what organizers estimate as 600 more rallying on the surrounding steps and hallways.
Our success here was reflected in the resulting media coverage. This was seen by way of influential local news outlets plugged into the nuances of state politics like NBC Albany, ABC Albany and the Times Union, as well as national media outlets like the AP and Democracy Now. The New York Daily News even went so far as to feature civil disobedience participant Bill Samuels, a prominent activist and Democratic fundraiser, explicitly calling on Cuomo to run as a Republican due to how he has failed not just movement activists but all New Yorkers.
That’s not to say that media coverage on its own (not to mention the 600 tweets per hour the #AllOfUs tag experienced) is by any means emblematic of victory in and of itself. It’s about what the coverage represents.
In that vein, calling out Cuomo no holds barred for being Governor 1% is something that we know can work. Because it has worked before, when he relented on the millionaires tax due to fear of exactly this framing.
Things absolutely have changed in our movements and politics over the past few years though, so there is no resting on laurels here. Rather we must keep moving forward past the hissing of the fat cats, and in so doing, we would do well to celebrate victories like yesterday.
I’m going to get to that, so that’s all for now. Onwards to building a better world, starting right here in New York!

When presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) met with a group of Black civic and religious leaders in Baltimore, Md., Jamal Bryant, the pastor and founder of Empowerment Temple Church said that it was critical for the senator to have a conversation with those who are the eyes and ears of the Black community.
Bryant said that Sanders needed to see the realities of Baltimore and the struggles of everyday working people and not just the rejuvenated Inner Harbor.
During a walking tour through the poverty-stricken Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood, Sanders noted the boarded up row houses and the lack of grocery stores in the community, as residents shouted, “Don’t forget Freddie Gray!” and “Can you bring some jobs down here?”
After a questionable arrest last April, Gray, 25 suffered a severe spinal cord injury while in police custody and died a week later. As residents took to the streets in peaceful protests against police brutality, others looted and burned stores drawing national media attention.
Following the walking tour, Sanders joined social justice and faith leaders for a round table discussion where they discussed a number of issues including education, housing and mass incarceration.
“You know how much money we’re spending a year locking people up? Eighty billion dollars a year, locking up fellow Americans,” said Sanders. “So, it seems to me to be an absolute no-brainer that you take some of that money, you rebuild the housing here in Baltimore putting people to work and when you put people to work they’re not going to end up in jail, because they have some pride, they have some income.”
Sanders said that his support for tuition-free public colleges and universities may seem like a radical idea, but it isn’t.
But Lezli Baskerville, the president and CEO of the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO), a group that advocates for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and predominantly Black institutions (PBIs), expressed concerns that Sanders’ vision for tuition-free public colleges may have unintended adverse effects on enrollment at HBCUs.
Baskerville said that HBCUs account for three percent of America’s colleges and universities, but graduate 50 percent of African American teaching professionals, 60 percent of African American health professionals and 42 percent of the Blacks who pursue careers in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM).
Baskerville suggested implementing a program that invested more in those schools that are educating the lion share of the growing population of minority students.
Sanders said that he visited a number of HBCUs in South Carolina and that he was aware of the extraordinary role HBCUs played in educating Black students, but that they have to be adequately funding and supported. Sanders recommended a major expansion in funding for Pell grants, admitting that it would cost money initially, but save money later by cutting the unemployment rate in the long run.
The group also discussed the need for greater economic equality and empowerment in the Black community.
“It’s easy for African Americans to get a loan for a used car, but very hard for us to get a loan to start a business,” said Bryant.
Rev. S. Todd Yeary agreed.
Yeary, the senior pastor of the Douglas Memorial Community Church in Baltimore, Md., and an adjunct professor in the College of Public Affairs at the University of Baltimore said that access to capital is the new redlining.
“If we go back to the genesis of the Great Recession, one of the byproducts was that the ‘Big Banks’ survived and now thrive and community banks which have often been the anchors and the facilitators to access capital…got stretched out of business,” said Yeary.
Yeary said that bank branches are lacking in the Sandtown-Winchester community, but liquor stores and corner stores where residents often endure high transaction fees to cash paychecks are plentiful.
Yeary wanted to know what Sanders could do from the executive branch to force a different kind compliance and application to the access to capital.
“It is very expensive to be poor,” said Sanders, adding, “Clearly, we need a revolution in financial services. After we bailed out the major financial institutions, because they were too big to fail, the three largest are now bigger than they were when we bailed them out.”
Sanders continued: “I would be lying to you if I didn’t tell you that we are living in a political system which, in a lot of ways, is corrupt, which is designed to benefit the people on top and an economic system that is rigged to benefit the people on top. If the goal of this whole thing is to create quality, affordable housing those problems can be solved, if that is not the goal then those problems will never be solved.”
Sanders said that the U.S. has the intelligence, the resources and the workers to invest in low-income communities.
“But the bottom line is there has to be a will to make that happen, and right now in America, there is not that will,” Sanders said.
Sanders lamented the trillions of dollars wasted on what he called “perpetual warfare” that some members of Congress have embraced.
“Think about if we had a fraction of that energy and that interest in Congress, where people were giving passionate speeches about the [Sandtown-Winchester] community that we just saw and communities like that all over this country,” said Sanders. “Think we could solve the problems? I think we could.”
Sanders also said that he supported greater investments in early childhood education, an urban jobs program centered on housing construction, dismantling the for-profit, private prison industry, and reinvesting in community banks.
“When there’s no will, there are a hundred different impediments that are placed in front of us to do nothing,” said Sanders. “I have the will.”

Could New York's free college tuition plan spread across the U.S.?
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, left, is joined by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, center, and Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York William C. Thompson, as he speaks during an event at LaGuardia Community College, Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017, in New York.
NEW YORK -- Hundreds of thousands of New York students would be able to attend college for free under a proposal announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to make state universities tuition-free for residents earning $125,000 or less.
The Democrat unveiled his plan Tuesday at LaGuardia Community College in Queens alongside U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Sanders, who pushed for free tuition at all U.S. public colleges during his Democratic presidential campaign, called Cuomo’s proposal “revolutionary.”
Comparing student loan debt to “starting a race with an anchor tied to your leg,” Cuomo said his Excelsior Scholarship program, if approved by lawmakers, would apply to full-time students who attend State University of New York or City University of New York colleges, including two-year community colleges.
“It should be a wake-up call to this nation,” Cuomo said, “to say if you really want to be competitive globally, we have to have the best educated workforce, and that means we have to have college for every child, man or woman who wants to attend.”
But many questions remain about how much it will cost, how it will affect one of the country’s largest public college systems and whether other states will follow suit.
The following Q&A answers some of the questions many have about the proposed program.
___
Q: What’s the plan?
A: Full-time New York students whose families earn less than $125,000 a year would pay no tuition to attend two- or four-year colleges in the State University of New York or City University of New York systems. The plan, if approved by state lawmakers, would be phased in over three years, beginning this fall for residents making up to $100,000 a year. The income threshold would increase to $110,000 in 2018 and $125,000 in 2019.
___
Q: So college would be free?
A: No. Students wouldn’t have to pay the $6,470 yearly cost of tuition ($4,350 for two-year programs), but they’d still have to pick up the cost of room and board if they live on campus ($12,590), along with fees ($1,590) and books. They would also have to graduate on time, meaning in two years for an associate degree and four years for a bachelor’s, if they want to avoid tuition bills.

“There will be a real pull that SUNY and CUNY have on students that our not-for-profit privates will not always be able to match,” said Mary Beth Labate, president of the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities.
More than 490,000 students are enrolled in the state’s more than 100 private, not-for-profit colleges. The schools provided $5.1 billion in financial aid to their students in 2014-15 and directly employ 196,300 people, Labate said.
The independent colleges would rather see the state expand TAP, increasing awards or raising the income threshold, which Labate said would preserve student choice because the grant follows the student.

“It is very expensive to be poor,” said Sanders, adding, “Clearly, we need a revolution in financial services. After we bailed out the major financial institutions, because they were too big to fail, the three largest are now bigger than they were when we bailed them out.”
Sanders continued: “I would be lying to you if I didn’t tell you that we are living in a political system which, in a lot of ways, is corrupt, which is designed to benefit the people on top and an economic system that is rigged to benefit the people on top. If the goal of this whole thing is to create quality, affordable housing those problems can be solved, if that is not the goal then those problems will never be solved.”
Sanders said that the U.S. has the intelligence, the resources and the workers to invest in low-income communities.
“But the bottom line is there has to be a will to make that happen, and right now in America, there is not that will,” Sanders said.
Sanders lamented the trillions of dollars wasted on what he called “perpetual warfare” that some members of Congress have embraced.
“Think about if we had a fraction of that energy and that interest in Congress, where people were giving passionate speeches about the [Sandtown-Winchester] community that we just saw and communities like that all over this country,” said Sanders. “Think we could solve the problems? I think we could.”
Sanders also said that he supported greater investments in early childhood education, an urban jobs program centered on housing construction, dismantling the for-profit, private prison industry, and reinvesting in community banks.
“When there’s no will, there are a hundred different impediments that are placed in front of us to do nothing,” said Sanders. “I have the will.”

Freemasonry as Spreader of the Jacobin Revolutions
The Philosophy of Freemasonry
The Archbishop of Port-Louis, Monsignor Leon Meurin, says in his work "Philosophy of Freemasonry":
"In the year 1844, Disraeli placed the following words in the mouth of the Jew Sidonia (Coningsby VI. XV.):
'Since English society has begun to stir and its institutions are threatened by powerful associations, they see the formerly so faithful Jews in the ranks of the revolutionaries... This mysterious diplomacy, which so disturbs the western powers, is organised by Jews and for the greatest part also carried out by them... the monstrous revolution, which is prepared in Germany, and whose effects will be still greater than those of the Reformation, is carried out under the protectorate of the Jews. Leading its preparations and effects in Germany I see a Lithuanian Jew, in the Spanish Senor Mendizabal, I see a Jew from Aragon; in the President of the French Council, Marshal Soult, I recognise the son of a French Jew; in the Prussian minister, Graf Arnim, I see a Jew. As you already see, dear Coningsby, the world is ruled by personages who are very different from those who are regarded as ruling and do not work behind the scenes.'
-- Benjamin Disraeli, "Coningsby", chapter XV
"During the revolution of 1848, which was led by the Grand Orient of France, its grandmaster, the Jew Cremieux was minister of Justice. In 1860 this man founded 'the Israelite International League' and announced with incomprehensible insolence in the year 1861, in the 'Israelite Archives' (page 651), 'that in place of Popes and Caesars, a new kingdom, a new Jerusalem, will arise.' And our good Freemasons with their blind eyes help the Jews in the 'great work' of building up this new temple of Solomon, this new Caesarean-Papal kingdom of the Cabbalists!
"In the year 1862, a Berlin Freemason had a leaflet of eight pages printed, in which he complained about the predominance of Jews in the lodges. Under the title 'Signs of the Time', he alludes to the dangerous character of the Berlin elections of 28th April and 6th May of the year in question.
'An element', he said, 'has appeared on the scene and has exercised a dangerous influence which causes disintegration on all sides: the Jew. The Jews are leading in their writings, words and deeds; they are the most principal leaders and agents in all revolutionary undertakings, even in the building of barricades. One has seen this very clearly in Berlin in the year 1848. How is it possible that, in Berlin, 217 Jewish candidates were elected, and that, in two districts, only Jews were elected with the exclusion of any Christian candidates?'
"This position of things has worsened more and more. The Jews form the majority in the city government, so that Berlin with justice could be called the capital of the Jews.
"In the press the Jews speak of the 'people' and of the 'Nation', as if there were only Jews and no Christians existed. The explanation for this could be given by the 'Freemasonic inciters' who, following Brother Lamartine, introduced the revolutions of 1789, 1830, 1848, etc. This explanation is confirmed by 'Brother Garnier Pages', a minister of the Republic, who, in the year 1848, publicly declared that the revolution of 1848 represents the triumph of the norms of the Freemasons league, so that France was dedicated to Freemasonry, and that 40,000 Freemasons had promised their help to conduct to an end the glorious work of the erection of the Republic, which had been chosen to spread out over the whole of Europe and in the end over the entire earth."
"The high peak of all this is the political and revolutionary power of the Jews, according to the words of J. Weil, leader of the Jewish Freemasons, who in a secret report said: 'We exercise a powerful influence on the movements of our time and of the progress of civilisation in the direction of the Republicanising of the peoples.'
"The Jew Ludwig Boerne, another Freemasonic leader, said likewise in a secret document: 'We have with mighty hand so much shattered the pillars upon which the old building rests that they groan and crack.' Mendizabal, likewise a Jew and the soul of the Spanish revolution of 1820, set through the capture of Porto and Lisbon, and in 1838, by means of his Freemasonic influence, realised the revolution in Spain, where he became Prime Minister."
And his Excellence, the Archbishop, goes on to say:
"The Jew Mendizabal had promised as minister to improve the insecure financial position of Spain; but in a short time the result of his machinations was a frightful increase of the national debt and a great diminishing of the State incomes, while he and his friends accumulated enormous riches. The sale of more than 900 Christian institutions of a religious and charitable kind, which the 'Cortesa', upon the instigation of the Jews, had declared to be national property, created for them a magnificent opportunity for the unparalleled increase of their personal property. In the same manner church property was dealt with. The unskilful mockery of religious and national feelings went so far that the mistress of Mendizabal dared to flaunt herself in public with a wonderful necklace, which a short time previously had served to decorate an image of the Holy Virgin Mary in one of the churches of Madrid.
"The Berlin Freemason, whom we mentioned at the beginning, said further:
'The danger for the throne and the altar, which are threatened by the Jewish power, has reached its highest point, and it is time to sound alarm, just as the leaders of German Freemasonry did when they said: 'The Jews have understood that 'the kingly art' (the Freemasonic art) was a principal means to erect their own secret kingdom... The danger threatens not only our Order, Freemasonry, but the State in general... The Jews find manifold opportunities in the lodges, to exercise their old familiar systems of briberies; by their sowing confusion in many affairs. If one bears in mind the role that the Jews played in the crimes of the French revolution and the illegal Corsican seizure of property, if one also bears in mind the tenacious belief of the Jews in a future Israelite kingdom which will rule over the world, as well as their influence on a great number of ministers of State, one will recognise how dangerous their activity can become in Freemasonic affairs. The Jewish people forms a tribe, which hostilely opposes the entire human race, and which believes the God of Israel has only chosen one people, to whom all others must serve as 'footstools.'
"Let it be borne in mind that among the 17 million inhabitants of Prussia there are only 600,000 Jews; let it be borne in mind with what convulsive zeal this people of Oriental and irrepressible activity works to attain the overthrow of the State with all means; to occupy the higher teaching institutions, even by means of money, and to monopolise the government offices in its favour.
"Carlile, one of the most authoritative Freemasonic personages, says (page 86): 'The Freemasonry of the Grand Lodge is at present through and through Jewish.'
"The 'Kreuz-Zeitung', the principal organ of the Prussian conservatives, published, from 29th June to 3rd July 1875, a series of articles, in which it elaborated that the chief ministers in the German and Prussian government, not excluding Prince Bismarck, found themselves in the hands of the Jewish kings of the Bourse, and that the Jewish bankers were those who in practice ruled Prussia and Germany. These facts caused the Jew Gutzkow to assert: 'The true founders of the new German Reich are the Jews; the Jews are the most advanced in all sciences, the press, the stage and politics.'
"In the year 1860 M. Stamm wrote a book on this theme, in which he proves that the kingdom of all-embracing freedom on earth was founded by the Jews. In the same year, Sammter published a long letter in the 'Volksblatt', in order to demonstrate that the Jews would very soon take up the place of the Christian nobility; the rule of the nobility was falling and will lose its place in this epoch of all enveloping light and of all embracing freedom, to which we have drawn so near.
'Do you not understand', he writes, 'the true meaning of the promise, which was given by the Lord God Sabaoth to our father Abraham? This promise, which will be fulfilled with certainty, namely that one day all peoples of earth will be subject to Israel. Do you believe that God referred to a universal monarchy with Israel as King? Oh no! God scattered the Jews over the entire surface of the globe, so that they should form a kind of leaven over all races, and in the end, as the chosen, which they are, extend their rulership over the former.'
'It is not likely that the terrible repression that the Christian peoples of Europe have suffered -- who have been made poor through the usurers and the greed of the Jews and lament about this, so that the national wealth is accumulated in the hands of the great bankers -- will be satisfied with isolated anti-Semitic upheavals. The monarchies, whose firm foundations are still not shattered through the Freemasonic hammer and whose ruling houses are still not at the position of the ragged and barefooted Freemasons who have their eyes bound, will join together against this vile sect and destroy the ranks of the Anarchists.'
"Carlile, himself a fanatical Freemason, horrified at the fate of mankind in the hands of the Jews, says: 'When the legislators busy themselves again with the secret societies, they would do well to make no exception in favour of Freemasonry.'
"The privilege of secrecy is allowed to the Freemasons according to law in England, France, Germany and, according to our recognising it, in most countries. The fact that all revolutions emanate from the depths of Freemasonry would be inexplicable, if we did not know that, with the present exception of Belgium, the ministries of all lands are found in the hands of leading Freemasons, thus fundamentally, of the Jews."

I have the debate all the time of white privilege being instilled in all white citizens. When we saw yesterday a HARVARD UNIVERSITY in the earliest years of colonial America bringing a black citizen PRINCE HALL into freemasonry pushing him to spread this throughout black America----while getting him to recruit black slaves in the American Revolution fighting for the KINGS AND QUEENS OF ENGLAND----we saw that old world global 1% and their 2% grabbing control of wealth and political powe in America. This one act---PRINCE HALL----is what captured all black citizens to being that global Wall Street player to old world MERCHANTS OF VENICE AND KINGS AND QUEENS. Harvard, Princeton, Yale----were built in colonial America just to grow the wealth and power of old world global 1% and their 2%. If you play for team IVY LEAGUE----you will simply be used to grow the wealth of global 1% and then be thrown under the bus----from 1776 to 1970s====two hundred years-----the global 1% and their 2% used WE THE PEOPLE to grow wealth in America----then simply stepped in with CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA to take it all back to those same old world global 1% and their 2%-----yes, they were the rich white men---the ones the 99% of white citizens have been fighting for thousands of years because they enslave white citizens TOO.
FOR TWO HUNDRED YEARS WE THE PEOPLE GREW WEALTH, ADDED POWER, PARTICIPATED IN GOVERNANCE----WHILE THOSE 5% TO THE 1% WALL STREET PLAYERS ACTUALLY THOUGHT THEY WERE WORKING TO BE GLOBAL MERCHANTS OF VENICE ---AND NOT SIMPLY BEING USED AS TOOLS.
Over these few centuries IVY LEAGUEs used scholarships to identify the most SHOW ME THE MONEY of low-income citizens to endoctrinate to global Wall Street and being those global MERCHANTS OF VENICE. These few decades of CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA saw these scholarships soar as those grads were sent back to US cities to be those global Wall Street players. IVY LEAGUE Johns Hopkins completely controlled low-income communities and leadership with these policies as did the other IVY LEAGUES----
WELCOME TO THE CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA RIGGED ELECTIONS MOVING ONLY GLOBAL WALL STREET PLAYERS INTO GOVERNMENT POSITIONS.
Below we see only one example---I'm not picking on McFadden alone----white, black, brown citizens running for office in Baltimore----or Maryland have these same kinds of backgrounds---
AND YES, MARYLAND AND BALTIMORE ARE FILLED WITH THE SAME OLD WORLD MERCHANTS OF VENICE DO ANYTHING TO ACCUMULATE WEALTH AND GROW GLOBAL MARKETS.
All Baltimore leaders ---all media----all organizational leaders, business leaders-----are tied to these frats/sororities---freemasonry-----and it makes for an EXCLUSIVE CROWD working for the same global Wall Street goals.

I get lots of flack for supporting an establishment pol like Bernie Sanders but----as with the 2008 Presidential election LEFT DEMOCRATS DID NOT HAVE A CHOICE. Bernie was most likely to have walked away from being a global Wall Street player but of course we always knew he very well was that global Wall Street player.
Remember those revolutionaries in Europe, Africa, Ottoman Empire who were the declining MERCHANTS OF VENICE wanting to bring down KINGS AND QUEENS for their wealth and trade? We talked of Jewish Jacobins pretending to be SOCIALISTS-----we talked of the MERCHANTS OF VENICE being humanists---not really those Catholics------enflaming the masses to revolution. They were not the leaders of the 99% ----they were working to rebuild their own wealth ready to return to being those ENSLAVING THE 99% AS GLOBAL MERCHANTS.
Flash forward to today-------WE THE PEOPLE FEELING THE BERN for a social revolution. The Global Green Corporation Party is using those same revolutionary themes. Even those global Wall Street players for CLINTON/OBAMA are out there PRETENDING TO FEEL THE REVOLUTIONARY BERN-----most being freemasons, frats/sororities -----but feeling left socialist all the while. WHITE, BLACK, AND BROWN CITIZEN 5% TO THE 1% MOVING TO DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST----just as in the days of the French Revolution--
SAME OLD WORLD GLOBAL 1% AND THEIR 2% MERCHANTS OF VENICE-----WANTING TO LEAD OUR 99% WE THE PEOPLE REVOLUTION.
Below we see a picture of a BERNIE SANDERS MEETS NEW YORK GOVERNOR CUOMO=====both will tell us they are not practicing their Jewish and Catholic religions. Both are posing left socialist with policies that are enslaving.
BERNIE SANDERS POSED FDR SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC AND NOW HE IS BEING SHOWN ALL OVER MEDIA BACKING THE WORST OF FAR-RIGHT GLOBAL WALL STREET POLICY.
BERNIE IS THAT JACOBIN SOCIALIST-------A SLEEPER COMING OUT TO LEAD THE 99% REVOLUTION!
IT'S REVOLUTIONARY
'The Democrat unveiled his plan Tuesday at LaGuardia Community College in Queens alongside U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Sanders, who pushed for free tuition at all U.S. public colleges during his Democratic presidential campaign, called Cuomo’s proposal “revolutionary.”'
CBS/AP January 5, 2017, 9:42 PM
Could New York's free college tuition plan spread across the U.S.?
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, left, is joined by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, center, and Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York William C. Thompson, as he speaks during an event at LaGuardia Community College, Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017, in New York.
NEW YORK -- Hundreds of thousands of New York students would be able to attend college for free under a proposal announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to make state universities tuition-free for residents earning $125,000 or less.
The Democrat unveiled his plan Tuesday at LaGuardia Community College in Queens alongside U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Sanders, who pushed for free tuition at all U.S. public colleges during his Democratic presidential campaign, called Cuomo’s proposal “revolutionary.”
Comparing student loan debt to “starting a race with an anchor tied to your leg,” Cuomo said his Excelsior Scholarship program, if approved by lawmakers, would apply to full-time students who attend State University of New York or City University of New York colleges, including two-year community colleges.
“It should be a wake-up call to this nation,” Cuomo said, “to say if you really want to be competitive globally, we have to have the best educated workforce, and that means we have to have college for every child, man or woman who wants to attend.”
But many questions remain about how much it will cost, how it will affect one of the country’s largest public college systems and whether other states will follow suit.
The following Q&A answers some of the questions many have about the proposed program.
___
Q: What’s the plan?
A: Full-time New York students whose families earn less than $125,000 a year would pay no tuition to attend two- or four-year colleges in the State University of New York or City University of New York systems. The plan, if approved by state lawmakers, would be phased in over three years, beginning this fall for residents making up to $100,000 a year. The income threshold would increase to $110,000 in 2018 and $125,000 in 2019.
___
Q: So college would be free?
A: No. Students wouldn’t have to pay the $6,470 yearly cost of tuition ($4,350 for two-year programs), but they’d still have to pick up the cost of room and board if they live on campus ($12,590), along with fees ($1,590) and books. They would also have to graduate on time, meaning in two years for an associate degree and four years for a bachelor’s, if they want to avoid tuition bills.
___
Q: How much will this cost?
A: Cuomo’s office estimates the state’s cost at $163 million a year once the program is fully phased in, a figure that’s seen by some critics as too low.
“If it costs so little, why haven’t we done it before?” asked Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, a Manhattan Democrat who chairs the Higher Education Committee.
More financial detail may come when the governor releases his budget proposal later this month, but his administration says the program will leverage the state’s existing aid programs, particularly the Tuition Assistance Program, which provides nearly $1 billion in grants to students with taxable incomes of up to $80,000 a year. Under Cuomo’s program, students would still receive TAP, along with any federal grants, and the state would pay the tuition difference.
___
Q: Won’t this create a rush on SUNY/CUNY schools, possibly making it more difficult to get accepted?
A: SUNY leaders say it’s too soon to estimate the impact on applications and enrollment, but the Cuomo administration says it’s confident the 64-campus, 440,000-student system can absorb what it projects will be a 10 percent enrollment increase. The system remains selective, though, and SUNY said its academic standards aren’t expected to change.
The state’s 29 four-year schools received 309,408 applications for the fall of 2015 and accepted 162,673 students, according to the state.
___
Q: Will this program affect private colleges?
A: Yes and no. The program doesn’t cover tuition for colleges outside SUNY and CUNY. Operators of those schools, though, say leaving them out of the college affordability discussion could leave them at a disadvantage when it comes to attracting applicants in a highly competitive landscape.
“There will be a real pull that SUNY and CUNY have on students that our not-for-profit privates will not always be able to match,” said Mary Beth Labate, president of the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities.
More than 490,000 students are enrolled in the state’s more than 100 private, not-for-profit colleges. The schools provided $5.1 billion in financial aid to their students in 2014-15 and directly employ 196,300 people, Labate said.
The independent colleges would rather see the state expand TAP, increasing awards or raising the income threshold, which Labate said would preserve student choice because the grant follows the student.
The requirement that federal aid, as well as state aid, is factored in doesn’t sit well with advocates for poor students, who say they’ll be left with less to pay for transportation, food and housing.
___
Q: Will this idea spread?
A: “If New York state does it this year, mark my words, state after state will follow,” independent Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders said when Cuomo announced the program this week.
Sanders made tuition-free public higher education a key proposal of his Democratic campaign for president, and Hillary Clinton picked up on it as the Democratic nominee, but Republican nominee Donald Trump had different ideas about how to make college affordable. Trump, who won the election, said he wants to work with Congress to make sure colleges only get access to certain federal tax breaks and other benefits if they “make good-faith efforts to reduce the cost of college and student debt.”
Democratic President Barack Obama proposed free community college in 2015, saying six states and communities had created programs similar to what he proposed. He said lawmakers in more than 10 other states have introduced legislation providing for free community college.
Tennessee and Oregon have enacted programs to cover residents’ tuition costs at community colleges, but New York’s would be the first statewide plan to cover four years of tuition, Cuomo’s office said.

There has been no other governor sending all to global Wall Street than CUOMO and Maryland's O'MALLEY.

“Wall Street Hero” Governor 1% Andrew Cuomo Receives a Well-deserved Public Smackdown
Harry Waisbren
DailyKos
Jenna Pope
On Thursday I joined hundreds of activists occupying our state Capitol to demand a New York that works for #AllOfUs, not only the 1%.
Dozens of groups came together to stop Governor Andrew Cuomo’s (D-NY) plan to literally take from the poor to give to the rich. The Occupy Network (of which I am a team member) was a partner in the effort and the act.tv team (I am a co-founder) dug in deeply. Check out a highlight video of the occupation below from our creative director Brad Gans and more on Cuomo’s page on our site:
This action took place in anticipation of the last week of state budget negotiations. It became necessary because our Governor 1% actually had the audacity to propose tax cuts that are specifically for millionaires and billionaires. In the state that is #1 in inequality in the country at that! But the local angle alone misses the broader national context.
Point blank: the 1% has collectively seen the rise of an occupy-inspired progressive populist message that is resonating across the country and is responding full force through Gov. Cuomo.
A telling article in Politico, the power establishment’s favorite outlet, entitled The Rich Strike Back went so far as to refer to him as “Wall Street’s newest hero.” The piece cheered on what they see as certain victory over a movement irredeemably weakened by newly inaugurated NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio. And what are his great failures? He is doing a poor job pleasing the 1% and their media enablers, of course.
Moreover, the piece spotlights openly named sources schizophrenically relating occupiers and populists alike to Nazis. Because why wouldn’t defeated political novices also be like the most horrific fascist empire of all time?
Unfortunately these are the elites we have to deal with, and due to their mix of insane logic and cognitive dissonance, good-faith negotiation has become all but impossible. Towards these ends, as Martin Luther King Jr. explains: "Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue."
It is in this spirit that 59 activists were arrested committing civil disobedience, including myself.
I went down chanting one of the main OWS clarion calls, “All day, all week - Occupy, Wall Street!” I don’t think it could have possibly been more appropriate to boot in light of Cuomo’s newly christened official status as Wall Street’s hero.
More broadly, the direct action was designed to expose the blatant quid pro quo that exists between Governor Cuomo and the 1%. It entailed us blocking the doorway to the governor’s office while a so called "pop-up occupation" commenced with what organizers estimate as 600 more rallying on the surrounding steps and hallways.
Our success here was reflected in the resulting media coverage. This was seen by way of influential local news outlets plugged into the nuances of state politics like NBC Albany, ABC Albany and the Times Union, as well as national media outlets like the AP and Democracy Now. The New York Daily News even went so far as to feature civil disobedience participant Bill Samuels, a prominent activist and Democratic fundraiser, explicitly calling on Cuomo to run as a Republican due to how he has failed not just movement activists but all New Yorkers.
That’s not to say that media coverage on its own (not to mention the 600 tweets per hour the #AllOfUs tag experienced) is by any means emblematic of victory in and of itself. It’s about what the coverage represents.
In that vein, calling out Cuomo no holds barred for being Governor 1% is something that we know can work. Because it has worked before, when he relented on the millionaires tax due to fear of exactly this framing.
Things absolutely have changed in our movements and politics over the past few years though, so there is no resting on laurels here. Rather we must keep moving forward past the hissing of the fat cats, and in so doing, we would do well to celebrate victories like yesterday.
I’m going to get to that, so that’s all for now. Onwards to building a better world, starting right here in New York!

If one didn't understand Bernie's campaign tours and who were seen meeting with Bernie ---here in Baltimore everyone understand that the EMPOWERMENT TEMPLE------AND JAMAL BRYANT are global Wall Street players and tied to freemasonry. The 99% of black citizens here in Baltimore do not see these 5% to the 1% as EMPOWERING THEM. So, here is Bernie in a national black media outlet being shown meeting with the very structures that have captured our US economy and politics THESE FEW DECADES OF CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA. If Bernie was indeed a left social Democrat he would not have made nice all across the nation with groups tied to global Wall Street. We have hundreds of black religious leaders serving hundreds of thousands of poor black citizens-----and Bernie walks a poor black community slated to become that CITY CENTER FILLED WITH THE GLOBAL 1% AND THEIR 2%---a wealthy community.
This image is that same old world decline of MERCHANTS OF VENICE----global Wall Street players PRETENDING TO BE LEFT SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC. It was when Bernie chose the EMPOWERMENT TEMPLE for his Baltimore appearance that the fix was in-----global Wall Street-----pretending to be creating a revolution for WE THE PEOPLE 99%.

When presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) met with a group of Black civic and religious leaders in Baltimore, Md., Jamal Bryant, the pastor and founder of Empowerment Temple Church said that it was critical for the senator to have a conversation with those who are the eyes and ears of the Black community.
Bryant said that Sanders needed to see the realities of Baltimore and the struggles of everyday working people and not just the rejuvenated Inner Harbor.
During a walking tour through the poverty-stricken Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood, Sanders noted the boarded up row houses and the lack of grocery stores in the community, as residents shouted, “Don’t forget Freddie Gray!” and “Can you bring some jobs down here?”
After a questionable arrest last April, Gray, 25 suffered a severe spinal cord injury while in police custody and died a week later. As residents took to the streets in peaceful protests against police brutality, others looted and burned stores drawing national media attention.
Following the walking tour, Sanders joined social justice and faith leaders for a round table discussion where they discussed a number of issues including education, housing and mass incarceration.
“You know how much money we’re spending a year locking people up? Eighty billion dollars a year, locking up fellow Americans,” said Sanders. “So, it seems to me to be an absolute no-brainer that you take some of that money, you rebuild the housing here in Baltimore putting people to work and when you put people to work they’re not going to end up in jail, because they have some pride, they have some income.”
Sanders said that his support for tuition-free public colleges and universities may seem like a radical idea, but it isn’t.
But Lezli Baskerville, the president and CEO of the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO), a group that advocates for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and predominantly Black institutions (PBIs), expressed concerns that Sanders’ vision for tuition-free public colleges may have unintended adverse effects on enrollment at HBCUs.
Baskerville said that HBCUs account for three percent of America’s colleges and universities, but graduate 50 percent of African American teaching professionals, 60 percent of African American health professionals and 42 percent of the Blacks who pursue careers in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM).
Baskerville suggested implementing a program that invested more in those schools that are educating the lion share of the growing population of minority students.
Sanders said that he visited a number of HBCUs in South Carolina and that he was aware of the extraordinary role HBCUs played in educating Black students, but that they have to be adequately funding and supported. Sanders recommended a major expansion in funding for Pell grants, admitting that it would cost money initially, but save money later by cutting the unemployment rate in the long run.
The group also discussed the need for greater economic equality and empowerment in the Black community.
“It’s easy for African Americans to get a loan for a used car, but very hard for us to get a loan to start a business,” said Bryant.
Rev. S. Todd Yeary agreed.
Yeary, the senior pastor of the Douglas Memorial Community Church in Baltimore, Md., and an adjunct professor in the College of Public Affairs at the University of Baltimore said that access to capital is the new redlining.
“If we go back to the genesis of the Great Recession, one of the byproducts was that the ‘Big Banks’ survived and now thrive and community banks which have often been the anchors and the facilitators to access capital…got stretched out of business,” said Yeary.
Yeary said that bank branches are lacking in the Sandtown-Winchester community, but liquor stores and corner stores where residents often endure high transaction fees to cash paychecks are plentiful.
Yeary wanted to know what Sanders could do from the executive branch to force a different kind compliance and application to the access to capital.
“It is very expensive to be poor,” said Sanders, adding, “Clearly, we need a revolution in financial services. After we bailed out the major financial institutions, because they were too big to fail, the three largest are now bigger than they were when we bailed them out.”
Sanders continued: “I would be lying to you if I didn’t tell you that we are living in a political system which, in a lot of ways, is corrupt, which is designed to benefit the people on top and an economic system that is rigged to benefit the people on top. If the goal of this whole thing is to create quality, affordable housing those problems can be solved, if that is not the goal then those problems will never be solved.”
Sanders said that the U.S. has the intelligence, the resources and the workers to invest in low-income communities.
“But the bottom line is there has to be a will to make that happen, and right now in America, there is not that will,” Sanders said.
Sanders lamented the trillions of dollars wasted on what he called “perpetual warfare” that some members of Congress have embraced.
“Think about if we had a fraction of that energy and that interest in Congress, where people were giving passionate speeches about the [Sandtown-Winchester] community that we just saw and communities like that all over this country,” said Sanders. “Think we could solve the problems? I think we could.”
Sanders also said that he supported greater investments in early childhood education, an urban jobs program centered on housing construction, dismantling the for-profit, private prison industry, and reinvesting in community banks.
“When there’s no will, there are a hundred different impediments that are placed in front of us to do nothing,” said Sanders. “I have the will.”
