***This is a podcast for Godzilla Government:: http: www.zillamod.wordpress.com::***
People are turning on their computers to seek out Occupy Together gatherings to help represent their own interests in the economic breakdown. #OccupyTogether, organized by GlobalRevolution.es, is helping many find ways to talk back to Wall St and the US government by inviting the voices of those harmed by the economic downturn.  They are not happy with D.C. They are not happy with Wall Street's financial institutions.
In this report, many gievances are cited for too much corporate involvement with the government sector and too much government involved with the private sector.   We attended Occupy Seattle to hear the stories and the voices of those in attendance.  We also asked a few people right around the corner their opinion of current events and the protests. 
UPDATES:
10/5 -  A breakthrough report in Bankster accountability from Steve Vogel at the Washington Post: "Suit alleges banks and mortgage companies cheated veterans and U.S. taxpayers"
Kevin Zeese, a man not afraid to name names, reports from October 2011 event, when unions *officially* join the #OccupyTogether movement.
Internet patriarch, Lawrence Lessig, comments on the American Spring:
"The arrest of hundreds of tired and unwashed kids, denied the freedom of a bullhorn, and the right to protest on public streets, may well be the first real green-shoots of this, the American spring. And if nurtured right, it could well begin real change."
Counter weights:
Anonymous call to action: Some refute claims to erase NYSE on October 10th as a "fake planted operation by law enforcement and cyber crime agencies."
"Occupy the Fed," says conservative alt-media talk host, Alex Jones on 11-22-2011. Federal Reserve chair, Ben Bernanke says, "I can't blame them."

HR 2885, the Legal Worforce Act bill would mandate all US workers submit SSN#s and record identity information in a web-based cloud system administered by USCIS (DHS).   
Orly Taitz road tested E-Verify with what is believed to be President Obama's SSN#. Dr. Taitz claims that President Obama has presented fraudulent identity documents and demands accountability from the White House.   She presents the case that E-Verify can deidentify the United States President if his SSN# is fraudulent.  
We ask her about the integrity of the E-Verify technology and her end goal in deidentifying the US President. 
We follow Orly's statements with our own brand of analysis of The Legal Workforce Act. We analyze the nature of President Obama identity submissions to the Birther movement (overidentification), and stoke a call to action.
SPOILER ALERT: You can make Numbers USA very angry by feeding your family.

Adrian Wyllie, the Chair for the Libertarian Party of Florida, has become a burr in the side of the Pinellas County criminal justice system. His offense? Driving without a Real ID certified license in the State of Florida.  After over 2 months public provocation, the sheriffs department issued a citation.  
Wyllie had his day in court- the results should surprise anyone.  We are joined in a discussion with Mr. Wyllie over these current events. 
The legal battle over Real ID certified licenses in the State of Florida will continue to be challenged in a recently sponsored Tallahassee based legislation, HB 109 (R-Larry Ahern).
