A Movement is Born

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

This article is available in:

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.

I don't see what any amount of protesting is going to accomplish, besides just humoring the "powers that be", and possibly pissing them off, while the protesters bark and growl like wild animals in the streets. I bet the global elites are laughing at this uprising as it progresses. This is what they want people to do. They want us all to revolt. That way they can have a reason to enforce martial law, when our numbers become so great, that the police can't contain and control us all. Even the people you think that are on our side, are some of the instigators paid to fire the American people up, in order for the world power brokers to take complete control of everyone and everything. They don't care about our rights as citizens or humans. We are disposable human resources to them. They are way too powerful and arrogant now and they think there is nothing that can stop them. Yes, there is more of us globally in numbers, but remember who is in control of nuclear and bio-chemical technologies.The military-industrial complex. To them, we are just children throwing a fit because we are not getting our way. To them, we are like roaches in their house. Planetary parasites. They think they know what's best for us all and the planet. They can exterminate more than half the world population in the blink of an eye, and you better bet, that they plan to do so. IN ORDER FOR THERE TO BE REAL CHANGE, REVOLUTION, AND TRANSFORMATION ON A GLOBAL SCALE, THEN PEOPLE MUST STOP FEEDING THE DAMN BEAST! WHICH MEANS SIMPLY, DON'T GO TO WORK! GLOBAL STRIKE! IF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD JUST STOPPED GOING TO WORK, THEN THE BEAST WILL DIE. Especially, if all the Truck Driver's in the world went on strike! Stop the flow of goods and services, and the whole dam thing will come to a grinding halt.You have to all realize that we are the Product. Not money. Money is just the cheese we rats chase after, whereby we get caught up in the trap of the System aka The Beast. We are the Real Value Producers. Without Us, there is no system, We are the lifeblood of the global economy. The Real Power resides within the People, but they don't want you to realize just how powerful we all really are as One. The people we really need to be trying to get on our side is our soldiers on active duty. Get our soldiers to have our back on these issues and guess what? "They" will lose a tremendous amount of power and control over us all as a whole. The military entity is useless without the soldiers that make it up. They will resort to military control over us all eventually. However, if our soldiers don't follow the lead and command of the their corrupt leaders, and actively join the resistance and revolution, then there's nothing that can stop us. Before any real progress is made, there may be a lot of people imprisoned and maybe even killed. Protesters, and revolutionaries will eventually be labeled as potential terroristic threats to National Security, and that will be their reason behind imprisoning and killing many. To supposedly, "protect" the rest of us from the "loonies" in the streets. People are already way too awake to the real truth of what is going on to believe that ploy though. Do remember, that there are still many in a deep slumber, living in an illusion. It is our duty to wake the rest of the world up before it's too late. We have to figure out a way to create our own new way of living and being without the old way of doing things. We do need a new world order, way of living and being, but NOT THE ONE THEY WANT FOR US. Be the change you want to see in the world. If we can imagine a brighter, cleaner, peaceful, more harmonious, more unified and responsible world for ourselves and future generations, then we can make it Together As One.

Hi Losers
Did any of you freaks look in a mirror lately? I'm asking because if you did you would understand why you can't find work. Wash your hair, remove your tattoos and stop smoking pot...this may help. Have you ever noticed left wing movements such as this are made up of a bunch of social misfits?

Look, I have a job and it's a good one. I have it because I work hard rather than smoking pot all day. Stop blaming everyone else for you problems and take some personal responsibility for being the losers that you are. You are all in denial of the fact that you are losers...the first step in recovering from being such a loser will be to understand that you are one and that it's directly related to your own behavior and not folks who work on Wall St.

FYI...the most corrupt groups are those public sector unions that you all love so much.

You seem shallow and judgemental. Also if we are free people we should have the right to not conform to your standards of appearance. I'm a pot head with a steady high paying job, as are alot of others in aviation. You obviously suck at doing drugs.
