A Movement is Born

As #OWS spreads across the country, people are realizing, it's time to live!

#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!

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.

Learn how a bribe works. The briber has NO power, that is why he is paying a bribe. The bribee is the one with power, that is why he is selling it for bribes. So, if Wall Street has to pay bribes to stay in business, then why are you not protesting in front of the residence of the #1 largest bribe recipient in history from Wall Street. You know where that is, its at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington. If you won't move the protest there, then it just tells the rest of us where your true loyalties lie. It will also prove that you are just Obamas Useful Idiots.
