A Movement is Born
Jammers, dreamers, rabble-rousers, revolutionaries,
#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is thundering across America, threatening to morph into a full fledged national movement. Channeling the nonviolence of the Egyptian Tahrir Square uprising and the bottom-up collective decision making of the Spanish acampadas, we vow to end the monied corruption of our democracy.
This Saturday #OCCUPYWALLSTREET enters its third week … be there at Noon and stay for the weekend … or be at one of the 50+ fledgling occupations now being organized across the land.
Our people's democracy movement is about to get three mighty boosts:
- On October 6, a few thousand of us will swarm the capital and #OCCUPYDC. Find out the plan at october2011.org
- On October 15th, the movement goes global … check it out at 15october.net
- Then, on November 3 and 4, we have something special in mind for when the G20 leaders meet in France.
Time to live!
for the wild,
Culture Jammers HQ

PS.
Our movement needs more edgy theatrics … maybe we should tar and feather the Charging Bull … or burn an effigy of Lloyd Blankfein? Send your wild ideas to [email protected].
To get a sense of the visceral mood at #OCCUPYWALLSTREET, check out the daily dispatches from OccupyTVNY along with the mini-documentaries "We Are The 99%" and "Nobody Can Predict The Moment Of Revolution." Also, David Graeber's op-ed in the Guardian and Nathan Schneider's article in the Nation are worth reading.

Yer pretty damn certain but not completely certain are you?
Again "which side on you on boys which side are you on?"
Yip-fucking-ee for your empty platitudes regurgitated from an outdated cia agit-prop manual on how to infiltrate citizen protest movements and dilute them of their power but guess what pig? No one's buying your bullshit anymore.
You have a choice son, each and every day you wake up. You can continue living on your knees like the pigs who follow the orders to guard the Masters of War no matter the cost - or you can stand up and live a life worthy of your brief time on this earth. You can continue to regurgitate the PR bullshit of the 1 percent or you can look in the mirror and realize that you are part of the 99 percent and you can choose which side you are on. Every day.
You act like a pig you will be called a pig. You can put down your guns and shitty job that only prolongs our collective suffering and join the rest of us at the gates of the palace presided over by the emperor with no clothes or you can crawl back to work slaving away as a cog in a machine that actually hates you and to which you are but a slave.
And save your hot air about how New Yorkers have other things to do besides this nonsense. You live in a country and a city and in a time that enjoys it's current freedoms precisely from the efforts of the people who protest while you continue mocking. Thank god people protested the disastrous wars in Vietnam and thank god people protested the inhumane conditions of segregation or further still the scourge of slavery or imperialism or the victory of women's suffrage or the rights of unions and the creation social security, etc, etc.
So which side are you on boy, which side are you on?
Live like a pig. Die like a pig. Yer call.

Well, these San Francisco "occupiers" have clearly proved how stupid they are, if not their point. Stopping everyday Americans from using their local banks not only helps no one, it's just plain stupid. These people are trying to go on with their lives, do their jobs and here you fuckheads come and screw with them. Way to go, I'm sure the founding fathers would be proud at the dipshits their country has produced.

The beauty of this whole deal is that it is so easy to tell which side yer on - as well as everyone else! The poster just above me seems to feel that, in an America where the rule of justice has been replaced by the rule of greed, where the POTUS can assassinate anyone he chooses, where the police can abrogate the free speech and assembly of the 99% on behalf of the priviledged 1%, where one of only jobs that young American men & women can find is that of mercenaries for the Financial/Military/Industrial Establishment; the only thing that this person can find that puts him/her in high dudgeon is that some folks may be temporarily put at some minor inconvenience as they stand in line to hand over the "vig" to the local BOA loanshark. The "founding fathers" would most assuredly be proud that these peole refuse to be enslaved by their would be masters. I personally think the "founding fathers" would be disappointed that folks like you appear to have learned nothing from their example.
