A New Global Economic Order
Hey you jammers, dreamers, patriots and revolutionaries out there,
Our occupation of Wall Street is less than two weeks away … do we have it together?
The perpetrators of the massive financial fraud have been allowed to slip quietly from the scene and continue business as usual. Our elected representatives in Washington have become so tightly intertwined with the financiers and bankers that public accountability has all but vanished.
#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is all about breaking up that cosy relationship between money and politics and bringing the perpetrators of the financial crash of 2008 to justice.
On September 17, 20,000 of us will descend on Wall Street, the iconic financial center of America, set up a peaceful encampment, hold a people's assembly to decide what our one demand will be, and carry out an agenda of full-spectrum, absolutely nonviolent civil disobedience the likes of which the country has not seen since the freedom marches of the 1960s.
From our encampment we will launch daily smart mob forays all over lower Manhattan … peaceful, creative happenings in front of Goldman Sachs; the SEC; the Federal Reserve; the New York Stock Exchange … and maybe even, if we can figure out where they're being held, at the sites of Obama's private $38,500 per person fundraising events happening somewhere in Manhattan on Sept. 19 and 20.
Our strategy will be that of the master strategist Sun Tzu: "appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected."
With a bit of luck, and if fate is on our side, we may be able to turn all of lower Manhattan into a site of passionate democratic contestation – an American Tahrir Square.
We will do all this with peace in our hearts. Our unshakable commitment to nonviolence will give us the spiritual strength we need to inspire the nation and to ultimately triumph in the weeks and maybe months of struggle that will unfold after September 17.
for the wild,

PS. Last week Anonymous endorsed #OCCUPYWALLSTREET with a video that attracted over 70,000 views. The Department of Homeland Security has warned the nation's bankers to be prepared. Corporate owned media is taking notice. Yesterday, a columnist for MarketWatch.com posted a rousing portrait of what may now unfold:
"Listen closely. This is not another internecine political squabble. These revolutionaries are pushing America back to its roots. You sense they're drafting a new Declaration of Independence, driven by the same powerful motivations as the 57 original signers who wrote: 'Whenever any form of government becomes destructive … it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government.' Back in 1776 King George III was the destructive force far away. Today greed is the corruptor, from within."
S17 occupations of financial districts are also being planned in Milan, Madrid, Valencia, London, Lisbon, Athens, San Francisco and hopefully many other cities still to be announced. S17 could well be the catalyst that ushers in a new global economic order.

You guys are the biggest bunch of hypocrites I've ever seen. You're just the other side of the coin - opposite christian conservative corporatism.
What's funny is how absolutely ignorant the whole of you are about how our financial systems work. I'm not saying there aren't any flaws, but you guys clearly have an elementary understanding of economics and political science.
Grow up. I will smile when your little protest fails with flying colors. And it will.

Actually, I have a great idea of how the financial system works, since I work inside of it. It IS manipulated, controlled and corrupt. The 1% truly hold the 99%'s financial destiny in their hands. They let JUST ENOUGH trickle down so that the 99% stay tranquil... but if the 99% had a clue as to how their financial lives were manipulated, there would be tens of millions of people marching on Wall Street and Washington, just like in the early 1970's during the Viet Nam war protests, when Mothers and Fathers, and Grand Mothers and Grand Fathers finally marched side by side with the Hippies and ex-service members.

As bad as Wallstreet may seem, corporations are still a non-coercive entity. The only problem is the government, for there is no power that does not rely with the government ITSELF. So unless you get your self-righteous bullshit and go against the government per-se, including the Federal Reserve, for its anti-competitive regulations that the same big businesses you rally against actually support, you're still just a bunch of piss ants that ought be stepped on.
Oh and as for Anonymous, you're even dumber than you look obviously. Anonymous is a decentralized entity that is without a command structure; I for one, as a member of Anon, don't support you.
