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!

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.

Yes socialism and capitalism have lived their lives. A new socio economic order is needed. It has already been propounded. Check "PROUT" short for Progressive Utilization Theory in wikipedia.

Do you really think that the protesters care about the facts?

I wrote a song for the movement called Wall Street Crocs and wanted to donate it to the efforts.

There can be no justice without standards. There can be no law without standards. This subprime, Madoff and Stanford was allowed. Without standards the establilshment will control the Occupy Wall Street movement. We dont need new laws. We dont need a constitutional convention. We dont need to attack the wise-guys that got rich of corruption. We need to out their puppets in this administration and others that came before Obama. They are the ones that worked without standards. We depended on them. They are the ones that had a duty to the 99% and turned their back on America. They are ones with the power. Not the President. Not the Congress. Not the judicial. Power without standard and oversight by the People is what we must end.

I just read today in the NYDailyNews.com that Nancy Pelosi's net worth rose 62% last year and she is worth over $35 million dollars. Her husband is an investment banker! She is part of the 1% and has been lying to us and pretending to be with the cause. The whole time she and her husband are down with the bankers and capitalists. Let's march on their family winery in California!
