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,

So, we need a 'cause'? Well, allow this longtime Adbusters fan and reader to weigh in: There is only one choice, and I will preface this with the the following...allof the things we call Problems, are merely symptoms, and Those who are The only Problem love watching us chase that tail...eating away at our own selves when we actually catch our own tails! Ok? Now, I repeat: the things we all call problems with our government, and society for that matter...are symptoms.
This means we allow them to continue forever, because we do not fix the One Problem from which all of these symptoms are spawned. The richest people in the world, the most powerful organizations with good intentions, are trying to solve "problems" these days...like bill gates trying to eradicate diseases. Yet, they will still die, be raped, be murdered...and will just catch the next epidemic.
Ok, ready for that nugget which will give the Occupy Wall Street ground upon which to build a real revolution, whih will solve ever single thing we call problems. YOU, have begun to garner the attention of both the mainstream media, and the world for that matter, but it will be one big fizzle...unless you listen: The ONLY problem, is simply Political Corruption. And that means we have to Fix Congress first...then the states and other government agencies will fall in line. The easiest way? New political parties, and take The Senate. 100 seats, and we save the world eventually.
This duopoly is evil, and by that I mean corrupt. so, get the folks at Wall Street to chant about getting rid of Political Corruption, and that means new elected representatives not betrothed to either party. If you look up fascism, wherein the business and political entities works solely for their own benefits and to maintain their grip on power, that is where we have arrived. The mainstream media will follow your lead my Adbusters family.
PLEASE, write about my thoughts and conclusions...and get the wall street a cause - else it will flounder, and be attacked. If they join to end political corruption, two things will be created: first...no one can criticize the cause, and people will get involved. In thoreau's words: Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity.
