TACTICAL BRIEFING #18

Occupy the High Ground!

197 comments Adbusters , 14 Nov 2011

This article is available in:

Hey you creatives, artists, environmentalists, workers, moms, dads, students, malcontents, do-gooders and aspiring martyrs in the snow:

The last four months have been hard fought, inspiring and delightfully revolutionary. We brought tents, hunkered down, held our assemblies, and lobbed a meme-bomb that continues to explode the world's imagination. Many of us have never felt so alive. We have fertilized the future with our revolutionary spirit … and a thousand flowers will surely bloom in the coming Spring.

But as winter approaches an ominous mood could set in … hope thwarted is in danger of turning sour, patience exhausted becoming anger, militant nonviolence losing its allure. It isn't just the mainstream media that says things could get ugly. What shall we do to keep the magic alive?

Here are a couple of emerging ideas:

STRATEGY #1: We summon our strength, grit our teeth and hang in there through winter … heroically we sleep in the snow … we impress the world with our determination and guts … and when the cops come, we put our bodies on the line and resist them nonviolently with everything we've got.

STRATEGY #2: We declare "victory" and throw a party … a festival … a potlatch … a jubilee … a grand gesture to celebrate, commemorate, rejoice in how far we've come, the comrades we've made, the glorious days ahead. Imagine, on a Saturday yet to be announced, perhaps our movement's three month anniversary on December 17, in every #OCCUPY in the world, we reclaim the streets for a weekend of triumphant hilarity and joyous revelry.

We dance like we've never danced before and invite the world to join us.

Then we clean up, scale back and most of us go indoors while the die-hards hold the camps. We use the winter to brainstorm, network, build momentum so that we may emerge rejuvenated with fresh tactics, philosophies, and a myriad projects ready to rumble next Spring.

Whatever we do, let's keep our revolutionary spirit alive … let's never stop living without dead time.

for the wild,

How about we occupy

by Anonymous on November 18 2011, @05:33 pm

How about we occupy everywhere locally and hold general assemblies in neighborhoods where people can form work groups to actually begin real change - boots on the ground work - like planting gardens and feeding people and brainstorming how we do a new economy AND, AND, AND - all the good ideas we'll need to actually continue to OCCUPY the EARTH!

by Anonymous on November 23 2011, @12:26 pm

I agree all of us who care whether we consider ourselves occupiers or not should gather together and hold peaceful general assemblies where people can hold various groups and where it isn't a protest but how we can change the system through our own efforts and support our local communities in whatever way we can. Forget asking the 1%, and Forget asking Washington, focus on what we can do! That's what I've wanted OWS to do. :D If there is no protest then what explanation or reasoning would there be for police to show up in riot gear and be violent? None if your not being anti-government and anti-corporation. There would be no reason for them to follow you around in their little cars either. We get to continue on being anti-greed, pro-community. Getting back to our productive humanitarian selves by working with each other to make what needs to happen take place. Ghandhi said the whole thing about the world which we all know and Martin Luther King did not give up on his dreams. Persist for good!
Dare to dream for the betterment of humanity. Cast light into the darkness.

Sorry, I just want to get

by Anonymous on November 18 2011, @08:59 am

Sorry, I just want to get this out to NY Protesters. Though I doubt I'm anonymous and at this point anyone who reads this who knows me will know its me. :) When the Police tell you to leave the Park because its a fire hazard you need to be respectful and leave the park. I imagine you can come back to the park after they are done but you need to leave the park. If you have a tent and you can't pack it you should still just leave. I have heard people who work for police departments say that if you "resist arrest" and you get a "bump on the head" it's your fault because you "resisted arrest" after they "warned you that you would be arrested". I don't agree with that statement but that's one man's opinion. So be peaceful, follow their orders, and go on March, you should be able to come back to the park once the "fire hazard" is gone which is most likely all the tents. Give them a chance to spiff up the park. Resisting law enforcement when they give this kind of order is a BAD IDEA. Your going to gain more support by showing respect to police officers when they are responding to public concern of a fire hazard. Personally, I would like to see the movement move around to different parks potentially so that the park has a chance to recover from that many people on the ground and grass, and give the local people who do not want to be involved in the movement a respite from the noise of it. However, I support being civically-engaged and speaking up for what you believe in. Jobs, Civil Rights, Education, Health, Environment, and Crime! Try your best to be respectful of your "whole community" and it's property as possible while doing it. Thank you!

Agenda suggestion
Tell us The Truth
Tell us the truth about the human, carbon, ecological and economic impact of your political and corporate agenda or face criminal prosecution for criminal negligence in addressing the harm your conduct is causing to people and our future.
Reform the unethical and unsustainable political and corporate conduct or we will reform the legislation in the future and prosecute your criminal conduct.
Tell us the truth is your corporate conduct causing ecocide, the large scale long term destruction to our environment, out web of life, our life support system and how do you intend to reform you conduct. If not we intend to enact legislation as soon as we can to prosecute your criminal negligence in addressing ecocide which is endangering our future.

The destabilisation of our planets climate is a crime against life on our planet
Tell us the truth about the carbon footprint of vehicles, homes, buildings, flights and manufacturing products on the other side of the world. We demand ethical, sustainable economic policies. Or we will enact legislation to prosecute your conduct even if it means prosecuting you in your old age.
Who should be the first to be prosecuted for ecocide? http://thisisecocide.com/
Should the CEO and Board of Directors of Exxon Mobile if they have funded disinformation as we have struggled to address the destabilisation of our planets climate face criminal prosecution?
The CEO and Board of Directors of the Automobile corporations who sabotage the development of the electric vehicle using fraudulent evidence that consumers did not want them in California in 2000. See the film Who killed the electric vehicle. Then destroyed those initial prototypes
Corporate manufactured Epidemics
The leadership of corporate tobacco when they became aware that they were manufactured an epidemic of ignorance, addiction, illness, cancer, anguish, financial ruin and death funded disinformation consequences and faced no criminal prosecution for their acts of murder. This is not going to continue.
Having approved the Keystone Pipeline is the Prime Minister of Canada and the CEO and Board of Directors of TransCanada Pipeline using fraudulent science in their assessment of the global human, economic and ecological impact of ramping up climate destabilizing emission vias the Keystone Pipeline. Scientific accounting fraud must be subject to criminal prosecution like financial accounting fraud.
Political leaders, their business and religious supporter once thought slavery, then colonialism and then permitting corporations to manufacture epidemics of illness and death were ok. The time for those criminal values to face criminal prosecution should they not reform has come. Prosecuting ecocide is essential to addressing our quest to survive.

i'm sure that the thinkers

by williamcrain on November 18 2011, @12:48 am

i'm sure that the thinkers and doers will come up with stuff to keep us growing, cohesivily, coherently and with some continuity.
Here in Billings, MT we have a working group to pull together a group to march in the Holiday Parade... as OccupyBillingsMT.org. It's going well we have 20 some commitments - good enuff for paying our fees and prepping. We have a working group for Public Access TV. i did a years TV as: The Wobblies} Exploring Economic Social Justice and Living Wage... aired on Wed at 5:30pm. I know it can work and the price is $400 for the year appx 50 episodes! We have a working group to bring resolutions to the City/County councils. Folks should check into local Pub Access...though often is carried by a Commercial carrier.

We in Billings, were not plagued with the Tent City issues. We are free to insert ourselves at wherever bizzy intersection we voted on occupying. Many smaller communities may feel the same sense of continuity of accomplishment.
i wish that there had been leadership in this latest chapter of our Revolucion to have the prescience and understanding of tactics and strategy. As soon as the inevitable came to the threshold of here come the goon squads WE should/they should have Regrouped/redeployed rather than leaving our Troops for Peace and Prosperity for All in a Rout. Should not have happened. A call to disengage and leave the goons with thin air would have been a lot more cohesive and demonstrated tactical savvy. We have to be more 'guerilla' in our tactics. Not let the little we have be destroyed and the Press showing the wiping of OccupyWS when they couldn't bear our presents.
i think there is much to be gleaned from Adbusters commentary... It is Winter time to put our heads together ~ stay warm and inject some battlefield humor} and Be Ready to attack the ruling class of Neolib bastards in the Spring.
Gawd just the thought of this Politburo/ala Lenin/Stalin SuperCmmt/alaObamaNationInc makes me sick, infuriated, And hopefully we'll Primary to Win in 2012 It's either we press for Good governance thru Voting/ala Campaign Finance Reform ~ NO CorpCapitalists in Politics or its molitov cocktails and fighting fires with gasoline.
Personally i'd like to see Energy, Health Care, Banking, Big Ag, and Transportation NATIONALIZED. should pretty much put the kabosh on Capitalism.

by mattsawyers on November 17 2011, @10:37 am

I agree that the movement needs to move. This one has been asymetrical and amazing for that reason. But the movement now should not just be outward and expansive. I think it needs a front. Maybe an online Occupy the Future summit and debriefing for all participants and interested parties. Also, the movement needs milestones - a way to track the number of people who are involved. Facebook's momentum was achieved through the raw numbers of supporters involved. Here's to Adbusters for ideas and meaning - now let's find organization and direction.

by Wolffen on November 16 2011, @05:04 pm

Let’s organize “Opt-Out of Health Insurance Day.”

If everybody refuses to pay their premiums, we’ll put those so-called “health insurance” companies out of business. Get all the MDs to strike for an hour in support, and we’ll have universal health CARE in the U.S. overnight. Doctors are sick of pushing paper through the byzantine maze of coding and claims-filing and clearing houses that the private insurers have imposed on medical professionals and patients alike. MDs have to pay health insurance premiums just like anybody else — and malpractice insurance as well! [ http://www.pnhp.org/ ] The insurers are driving up the price of health care from all sides!

These parasites insure the health of their financial statements and CEO salaries by denying treatment to patients who’ve paid premiums and pricing health care out of the financial reach of 1/3 of Americans. And they PROFIT from these practices?!?! Who can’t see what’s wrong with this picture?

Congress isn’t going to do the right thing because there’s too much money involved: at least one health-insurance lobbyist for every member!

Come on, folks! Vote with your wallets: refuse to give them your money and the “health insurance” industry disappears.

by Occupy the low ground on November 16 2011, @03:46 pm

It is an ominous sign when a self-proclaimed radical progressive magazine follow the lead of mainstream media and urge protesters to give up. Given that mainstream media distorts and perverts the intentions of the occupy movement it is paramount that alternative news sources such as adbusters defend and encourage those that dare stand up for reality and against the corporate mainstream media, instead of taking their lead. Shame!

What does an occupation of the "high ground" mean relative to current occupations. The occupations started precisely because the level of security for the 99% is so low - that there little or nothing protecting the majority of us from ending up on the actual low grounds. The current occupations must remain on a low ground because that is the state of reality. Proposing a "party … a festival … a potlatch … a jubilee … a grand gesture to celebrate" is a slap in the face to the protesters out there who have nothing to celebrate but the unity that occupy has provided the last month - which scaling back would mean an end to. The die hards are angry and impatient because for them neo-liberalism is an eternal winter and the struggle is a constant struggle, not something that changes with seasons. Rather the coming of winter means a intensified struggle for survival for many of us and should call out for intensified efforts not retreat!

If occupying the high ground means celebrating empty victories and retreating indoors when it gets cold, while those that have no choice have to continue to sleep outside but now at the risk of hypothermia and death, then i rather stay on the low ground!

Occupying the warmer climes

by Anonymous on November 16 2011, @03:16 pm

Occupying the warmer climes seems like a good option. Squatting abandoned neighborhoods in the rust belt north east would afford protection from the elements(Detroit?). Maybe there is a farm (Woodstock?) somewhere that could supply a geographic centre for a temporary utopia? Warm and cold will deliver different kinds of inspiration. Laying claim to a logically defend-able piece of spiritual space is really the only way to ensure long term survival. I think this might be found within the science of climate change.

As a participant in the Occupy movement, I hereby commit my whole self to nonviolence. Therefore to the best of my ability:
I am firmly committed to nonviolence as a way of life, not merely as a tactic.
I meet violence with compassion for others and myself.
I walk, talk and act in love and nonviolence.
I refrain from verbal and physical violence.
I do not accept “a diversity of tactics” when those tactics are violent or damage property.
I am open, respectful, and kind with everyone I encounter.
I invite the 1% to join us and will not insult them.
I seek justice and reconciliation so that we are all winners.
I avoid both selfishness and power trips.
I strive to be in good spiritual and bodily health as we work to build a just and democratic society.

I'm glad some OWS leadership

by Anonymous on November 16 2011, @12:19 pm

I'm glad some OWS leadership is starting to acknowledge, if obliquely, how detrimental a long-term occupation would be. It would only lead to more violence, and trust me, it is doing you no favors with average Americans. Had OWS stuck to reasonable positions, used productive (not destructive) methods, and stayed non-partisan and embraced both left and right, I might have supported it. However, with the extreme far-left tilt of OWS, coupled with the sheer lack of respect for the *real* 99% shown by the local occupations, OWS lost my support early on.

Clean up your act and I might reconsider, but for now, I feel you are doing more damage than good in the world.

'more violence' - Oh, you

by Kara on November 16 2011, @01:24 pm

'more violence' - Oh, you mean cops beating up peaceful protesters?

'average americans' - Given Occupy is polling at 60% (or above) now I am not sure what you define as average.

'productive (not destructive) methods' - Umm, point to how Occupy is more violent than the rest of society.

'non-partisan' - I know liberals, conservatives, tea-partiers, and people in various minor parties who are occupying.

'clean up' - *laugh* probably the cleanest parks I have seen are ones with occupiers in them, even the trash bins are orderly!

by Anonymous on November 16 2011, @12:47 pm

Stop making sense. These moronic assholes will never understand. They are unreasonable children, bent on their own self-aggrandizement and nothing else.

OWS is a "movement" in the sense of what occurs inside one's bowels and nothing more.

you americans are not the 99% you are the 1% but you consume the 99%, though the 99% of the bombs and dump the 99% of the rubbish, and now you want to go home because the weather is a bit cold?

by anorton on November 16 2011, @07:42 am

Take the struggle to their doors. Fast assemblies (yes, flash mobs) that assemble fast and then disperse. Assemble at the doors of Citibank, Bank of America, Stock Exchanges. Get there fast and vanish fast. Let every financial institution wonder if they're next -and make them next. They dispersed OWS -then let OWS disperse, taking the challenge to them directly. They don't want people to stay on Wall Street, give them what they wished for: a dispersed movement, that stays nowhere for long, but might show up at any time.

There also needs to be more cohesiveness between OWS and Occupations across the country. Now is the time to work on this for a grand re entery in the spring. There is much do to. I was betting on thise movement to start the ball rolling on the reversal of. Citizens United vs FEC. You have the power. WE have the power if we stay focused and wield it!
