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.

Boy, you called me a troll. You really got me! I think the term troll would be alot more appropriate for the vermin in your movement. None of you shower, work, pay taxes and you fill our public parks with debris. Not to mention that some of your organizers in Chicago seem to think that sex with animals is okay. Twinkles Down man.

OCCUPY FEDERAL RESERVE
From what I have come to read and thereby to believe; it is the private owners / bankers in Federal Reserve who are controlling it all… what MUST be changed is the present banking system. By taking the RIGHT to create (PRINT) money away from the Federal Reserve which they apparently have right now, and giving ti over to the government one could take over financial control.
Its the misleadingly called “Federal Reserve” that consists of the greedy private financiers with very HIGH interest on earning on debts! In the “Federal Reserve” are the ones who should to be put on trial.

Socialism doesn't work. Read your history books.
The rich are paying 70% of the taxes while 50% no income taxes. Talk about paying well over their "Fair Share" they should be protesting. Oh that's right they are creating and earning money to pay 70% of the tab.
Do your own research rather than make emotional assumptions.
