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.

What about the businesses around the protest? Or the people who live in the area? Businesses are losing money, the city is losing money, and the neighbors have lost the use of their clean peaceful park. Never mind they can't take their children near there because of the language, dress, and deportment of your Useful Idiots. But your not infringeing on anyones rights?
Your right, why would I have anything to do with your movement. I have a Poly Sci degree from USCSD, a Material Engineering degree from Alberta University, and a Msc in Military History and Strategic Studies from Royal Rhodes. In other words, I am good at math, i know history, and I know the result of movements like yours. Why would I ever want to join a movement thaqt I KNOW is going to self destruct in a horrible, violent, messy way. I would rather note get dragged down with the rest of you. Useful Idiots are Useful Idiots.To stupid to understand what they want, to stupid to understand the implications of what they are doing, and to stupid to understand when they are being used. One thing about the military, they can't order you into a suicide mission. They have to ask for volunteers. You guys will be cannon fodder for whoever (Geroge Soros) is funding your occupation. And they didn't even tell you what the will sacrifice you for, or ask for volunteers.

1200 arrests were not for violence, that was a protest on the bridge. And the only shit that hit the fan was when a lone police officer ran in and maced some innocent peoples eyes, and ran off. But he was idiotic enough not to realize he was caught by about 20 phones and cameras, and it was all over the internet. Thats when the police started behaving better.
It's still very clear that you are hoping for a little excuse, like that police officer, to start shooting that gun youve been waiting to use. So you will be found. In the mean time, why dont you turn it on yourself if you are so itching to kill someone.
And no, the castle law doesn't give someone like you the right to go down and wait for something to happen so you can kill someone. That's premeditation, and judges weigh and interpret all the facts, facts like the mental instability and pre-meditated violence/murder intentions of people like yourself.
You lose, again.

Did you miss the video with the protestors doing a countdown then rushing the police barricades and attacking the police? Should I believe your lying words or MY lying eyes. I will go with my eyes. They are a part of your group, and you must take the responsibility for their actions. If you don't then you are lying hypocrites who need to go fuck yourselves. Then again, you DID elect a president who blames everyone and everything including nature for his failed policies.
