A Call for Reinforcements
Hey jammers,
#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is happening right now at Liberty Plaza!
It started last Saturday, when 5,000 Americans descended on to the financial district of Lower Manhattan, waved signs, unfurled banners, beat drums, chanted slogans and proceeded to walk towards the "financial Gomorrah" of the nation. They vowed to "occupy Wall Street" and to "bring justice to the bankers", but the New York police thwarted their efforts, locking down the symbolic street with barricades and checkpoints. Undeterred, protesters walked laps around the area before holding a people's assembly and setting up a semi-permanent protest encampment in a park on Liberty Street, a stone's throw from Wall Street and a block from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Three hundred spent the night, several hundred reinforcements arrived the next day and as we write this, the encampment is digging in for a long-term stay. #OCCUPYWALLSTREET has been established in Zuccotti Park, which has now been renamed Liberty Plaza. With Liberty Plaza liberated, and acting as a base in the financial district, the indignados have been sending out raiding parties to nearby Wall Street and beyond.
Bravo to those courageous souls in the encampment on New York's Liberty Street. Every night that #OCCUPYWALLSTREET continues will escalate the possibility of a full-fledged global uprising against business as usual.
Now, it is crucial for everyone from all over the world to flock to the encampment. Call in to work sick, invite your friends and hop on a bus or plane to New York City.
We need you at Liberty Plaza!
for the wild,

We need to draw up a manifesto later today! I will be out in full force protesting Wall Street's attack on America and American values.
The secular Wall Street machine been pushing a pro-gay agenda on our youth. They have snuck millions of illegal mexicans across our southern border. They have been trying to end the war on drugs, they know if we are all high we are more likely to submit. I propose we do the following:
-End flash trading
-A complete ban on all gays in American society
-Nationalization of Goldman Sachs
-Provide a new national minimum income for Americans willing to work at least 40hrs a week
-Militarize the borders and use lethal force against all undocumented immigrants.
-Mandatory 30year sentencing for anyone caught with possession of marijuana, cocaine, or heroin.
-A 40% tariff on all imports that move jobs overseas
This is a plan we can all unite around and I know many Americans already support. Lets get ready to rock Wall Street. Are you ready!?

Sorry dude but thats nationalism you are describing, additionally very close to what Hitler proposed in 1933...
* What gives you reason or right to decide who should channel his love to what or whom?
* A bank controlled by the state, which still is under the influence of giant corporations, would change what exactly?
* You would want to encourage ppl to do repetitive jobs for 40 h/week that could be done more efficiently by robots, i.e. working in a factory, at a dump, in a mine?
* Shooting people because they fled political persecution or poverty is your solution, I'd guess you're missing some neurons meant for mirroring emotions...
* Placing people into private jail because they were alleviating pain with one medicine, as opposed to 35 different pills, just so pharma-companies and owners of prison get richer from the tax payer, you sure about that?
The change towards unity, understanding and disinterested love needs to happen within every individual, not through dogmas or indoctrination of plans, agendas or acts, but through seeing the fact without the created (actually non-) self and as long as there are education, infrastructural or humanitarian deficits.
It won't happen within those, struggling to keep their basic needs (food, shelter, clothes) covered...
Please try to rethink Your approach, for we are all partaking in the life of one big living organism...

i've been at the occupation camp day and night since the 17th, and no one has pronouced these kinds of ridiculous views, either in person or in the general assemblies. You are an agent troll.
