Battle for the Soul of Occupy
In this Al Jazeera video a profound discussion emerges over the question of how Occupy should deal with the 99% Spring movement. Can we co-opt the co-opters? Should we simply ignore the 99% Spring? Or do we need a more visceral response?
Watch the video and let’s discuss how Occupy can win the battle for the soul of our movement.

OWS cannot merge with Obama campaign. Obama is solidly working for Wall Street and Wall street runs his Administration which is declaring the executive branch a dictatorship at the same time. If there is any merger, even on a low level, it will kill the movement, guaranteed and that's the goal. "You can *bank* on that"
OWS is about a few people funneling all the money and power to conduct business for a few, a very very few and Obama works for them. You cannot have it both ways. not even a little bit. Obama specifically enacted NDAA to stop people from having a voice and now people want to be in a group with him.
Unions are key but they have been selling out to Dems that sell out workers for a very long time effectively slitting their own wrists. IT is Unions and real liberals that must come the OWS movement not the other way around. Unions and cavalier rich Liberals have had plenty of time and money to act and have failed, now they want to coopt real energy ,, for what. more control by those that got us here.
The Unions and other groups must come to the OWS movement , not the other way around or the whole thing is just more BS that will get us more of the same which is the goal of the OnePercent orchestrating this entire convo. Wake up.

Yet some still claim that, "Obama has proven he is not with Wall Street in thought, word, and deed."
Who are you people?

P,S: Trust. As with Libya, Al Jazeera continue to put out the same kind over-the-top horror stories, shaky phone footage and second-hand accounts of "events" in Syria. So who backs them? And why should we trust them?

Profound changes are upon us, and we cannot look to the crumbling institutions of the industrial, consumerist, imperial state to save us.
Do not waste your resources trying to save a system that cannot be sustained. Build community, build sustainability, build democracy, build a new world.

OWS must splinter into countless tiny enclaves to take on the Empire
