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.

P.S. I imagine there have been lots of guns down there. New York has a concealed carry permit law. Going down there with a gun? Why would I want to. It will be someone who owns a business down there or someone who owns a business near one off your offshoot protests who will shoot a rioter. I wont and dont need to. Like I said, your "protest" will self destruct ALL on its own. They always do.

Oh, sure. Keep moving people, there's nothing to see here. Silence dissent. You would call anyone who disagrees with your world view a troll. Because you are a tool. A sheep ready for the slaughter. If Wall Street collapses, who will redistribute all that wealth you didn't work for to the non-tax paying 50%, or the rich kids who go to Harvard, or the Victicrats who refuse to get off the Democrat plantations? You trust government to "take care of you"? Fools, all of you. Follow the pied piper, funded by billionaire George Soros, over the cliff. Useful idiots. You will be the first to be eliminated or constrained when the shit hits the fan. It is mind boggling to consider just how many ignorant cows are following the Marxist leaders and "protesting" on Wall Street. Sure. Communism and Socialism are great. We all luuuuv Chairman Mao! And Che of course. I can hear the big sucking noise of all you entitlement clowns sucking on the big tit of government from here. Idiots.

Hey Eh2Zed,
If you're gunna be such an unrepentant troll at least have the nuts to admit it when you're called out on it. We've seen your posts on other sites and you are a known troll. Stop hiding. Your attempts to hijack the discourse here are what people have a problem with - not your opinion. Trollery is for fools like you who aren't capable of civil discourse. Try speaking about your opinion without all the hyperbole and hysteria. Try saying something without making thinly veiled threats to human life and maybe you'll get somewhere in this world as opposed to holing up in you ultra-right wing bunker while the entire evolution of our shared humanity passes you by.
