VIDEO: OWS Protesters Ad to be Aired on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor"

OWS Protesters Ad to be Aired on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor"
WASHINGTON – The viewers of Fox News and Bloomberg Business TV are largely considered as the opposition to the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ (OWS) movement; but now the same viewers will see the OWS ad on these channels on Wednesday night.

The OWS ad will be aired three times during "The O'Reilly Factor." The ad time was bought by some of the filmmakers who support OWS movement. The ad will be aired on several other cable channels as well.

Reportedly, a crowd-sourcing website called Loudsauce collected the online donations from 168 people to buy the commercial time on both of the channels. Loudsauce facilitates small donations of less than $100.

According to Colin Mutchler, Loudsauce co-founder, the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) ad will run Wednesday once during the 8 p.m. ET time slot of "The O'Reilly Factor" and twice during the 11 p.m. time slot.

O'Reilly has called the Occupy demonstrators "quasi-socialist" and "loons."

Watch the OWS ad to be aired, below:

Watch VIDEO -- Bank Transfer Day (Nov. 05): 650,000 Americans Transfer Money from Big Banks to Local Credit Unions

NEW YORK (Nov. 05) – Today (Saturday, Nov. 05) is Bank Transfer Day and thousands of dejected customers pull their money en masse from large corporate institutions and banks to dump it into credit unions.



Bank Transfer Day is also dubbed as Bank Occupation Day and Move Your Money Day, but whatever it is called, the purpose of each has been a call for customers of major banks to close their accounts and move their money to more localized credit unions and institutions.

This movement has already encouraged about 650,000 Americans to transfer their money from corrupt and just-for-profit banks to smaller, non-profit credit unions or community-owned banks and institutions.

Small banks and institutions are licking their lips foreseeing big bucks coming to them and some of them have already announced bonus programs to attract Big Banks’ dejected customers like First Tennessee Bank has offered, but only for today, an up to $300 bonus when you open a checking and saving account.

Exclusive: First Picture of Justin Bieber's Alleged Baby Boy -- LAPD to Investigate Statutory Rape in Bieber-Yeater Case

Justin Bieber's Alleged Baby Boy
LOS ANGELES – Mariah Yeater, who claims Justin Bieber fathered her baby, might be gone through investigations for having sex with a minor, LAPD sources told media.

Mariah Yeater is claiming that Justin Bieber had sex with her in a backstage bathroom after one of the singer's concerts at Staples Center. Yeater gave birth to a baby boy in July, she believes Bieber is the father because there were no other possible men she had sex with at that time.

For instance, if Yeater’s claim is considered as factual then she could be investigated for having sex with a minor because the singer was 16 at the time while she had just turned 19 at that time.

While no offense has been reported, Los Angeles police Cmdr. Andrew Smith told The Associated Press on Thursday that the department could investigate after Mariah Yeater filed the paternity suit against Bieber in San Diego Superior Court.

"Easy Money" Attracting Texas Children to Work for Mexican Drug Cartels: Steven McCraw

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Have you ever imagine what an "easy money" option can do for you? I don't know your answer, but it can do wonders at least for drugs trafficking gangs.



"Easy Money" Attracting Texas Children to Work for Mexican Drug Cartels
According to reports; a number of Mexican drug gangs are tempting youngsters as young as 11 to work in their smuggling operations, just to earn some "easy money".

The youths hired for drugs trafficking are called 'the expendables' by the Mexican drug cartels because they are less likely to be suspects than adults, are effortlessly directed by comparatively small sums of money, and face less harsh penalties than adults, if arrested.

Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Steven McCraw, told media that they have enough proofs of the fact that at least six of Mexican drug cartels, including the violent Zetas, have "command and control centers" in Texas vigorously engaging young kids for their black business, enticing them for apparently "easy money" for doing simple tasks.

This month, "we made an arrest of a 12-year-old boy who was in a stolen pickup truck with 800 pounds of marijuana," McCraw told further. "So they do recruit our kids."

Continue reading after the ad below ..







McCraw stated further that Texas is aiming to join a plan set off by U.S. Customs and Border Protection called "Operation Detour." Under this Operation officials of law enforcement agencies will arrange meeting with children and their parent in the schools and community centers to inform them about the risks and threats of what seems to be the easy money offer by the Mexican drug cartels.

Herman Cain Marginally Tops President Barack Obama in a Recent Head-to-head Poll:New Rasmussen Reports Survey


In a latest head-to-head poll, the results show that Herman Cain is leading President Barack Obama, according to the survey from Rasmussen Reports released Monday. The poll of 1,000 likely voters was held Oct. 14-15 with a margin of error upto three percentage points.



Herman Cain Marginally Tops President Barack Obama
Herman Cain's lead is a narrow one, with 43 percent compared with Obama's 41 percent, but interestingly he is the only Republican to have any lead over Obama in head-to-head polls conducted by Rasmussen over the past several weeks.
Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts Governor for the term from 2003 to 2007, was straggling Obama 41 percent to 43 percent in another survey earlier in October, but that is as close as a candidate has come.
Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan and scarce political experience will certainly be scrutinized even more closely after his marginal lead over President Obama in the recent poll.
Experts and analysts have enough doubts about Cain's ability to stay at the top.
