A Call for Reinforcements

Come to Liberty Plaza now!

This article is available in:

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,

So when everyone who is currently making over $500 Million/year decides that they ARE NOT going to make any more than that, then what? There won't BE any money to redistribute among the 99%, will there?

Because that is exactly what will happen.

What will be the NEXT income cap?

And what happens when THOSE people decide that THEY are not going to make any more than that?

Pretty soon nobody is making anything because there is no incentive to make anything.

And then NOBODY has ANY money. No more iPads, no more iPhones, no more cars, no more bicycles, no more fast food, no more Starbucks, no more cloth to make kefiyyahs with, no more sneakers, no more of any of the things that you take for granted these days.

And then what?
