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,

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.

Who stole our cheeses?
- our leisure time was replaced by overtime work
- our pleasant family life was replaced by pressure life
- our long term retire life was replace by contracting lift
The Chief Executive Officers!
Who generate & select CEO - major investors! Who are they and where are they - Wall Street!
What CEO is doing from time to time - scratch our cheeses piece by piece to feed the giant mouth – Wall Street!

Today the nation is stirring with an electric frenzy of revolutionary change. At its core is a resilient, compassionate and non-violent movement that recently spilled into the streets.The justification of Occupy Wall Street has historic depth; it is the same yearning for justice that came to the United States in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. In the face of terrifying and corrupt men -- whose private empires require, by definition, the Republic's impoverishment -- the 99 percent stand firm today in the streets of New York, Boston, Seattle, Denver. In the streets they stand in love and overcoming and human faith, as others stood in Selma and Birmingham.
And with them, at any given moment, on ten-thousand computer screens Americans can now see their brothers, sisters and lovers being detained illegally by the common interests of corporate and political greed. The New York police, riotous and violent at times, are themselves an extension of this corruption, being employed by the same men and women whose interests are so much affected by systemic improvements. ...
