Hey you jammers, dreamers, patriots and revolutionaries out there,

What will happen this Saturday when thousands of us descend on Lower Manhattan and start walking towards Wall Street?

If the police try to stop us, how will we respond?

This is what happened in Madrid last month when the Spanish government tried to stop people from gathering in the Puerta del Sol, site of the people's encampment:

"All day long, 300 police officers kept the square hermetically sealed off, even closing the Sol metro station – one of the largest and most important in the city … When the protesters realized they couldn't take the square, they quickly dissolved into a dozen side-streets and regrouped on a number of key locations … For hours now, protesters have been blocking all the main traffic arteries in the city center … Tens of thousands of indignados have brought Madrid to a complete standstill in a spontaneous and defiant bid to reclaim Puerta del Sol … The mass protest is now reported to be headed back towards Sol for a second time, in another attempt to take back the square."
– Jérôme E. Roos

If the police block us temporarily from occupying Wall Street, then let's turn all of lower Manhattan into our Tahrir Square. Let's sing our songs in the lobby of Goldman Sachs and in Chase Manhattan Plaza; let's wave our signs outside the SEC and the Federal Reserve; let's convene our people's assemblies around the Charging Bull statue at Bowling Green … and if need be, let's set up our encampments in nearby Battery Park and other places until we're ready to walk into Wall Street again …

Anything can and will happen this Saturday. That's the beauty of it! Ultimately, the only thing that matters in how many of us turn up eager to be a part of a spontaneous creative swarm and determined to bring the financial fraudsters to justice.

Bring signs, flowers, food and a revolutionary mood … and a commitment to absolute nonviolence in the Gandhian tradition.

PS.

The S17 meme is rumbling all over the world now … Milan, Madrid, Valencia, London, Lisbon, Athens, San Francisco, Santander, Madison, Amsterdam, Los Angeles and now Algeria and Israel are all on board! Could this be the beginning of a new global economic order?

Whatever happens.. within any popular protesting going-on against current ruling frameworks, the active agents ot the People participating must be aware of the tools of repression that are at the rulers' disposition, they must plan multi-faceted approaches and alternatives of reaching the setted goals upon that, and must be prepared to counter-act in case of mishappenings.

All of these assessments needs to be done from the individual level till the whole group level.

Cells of agents should be affected proportionately to each actions/subgoals that needs to be done, keeping themself updated of the whole protest group's and ruler's whereabout, aided with some communication channel (twitter, whatever..) and have one or some individual of these cells acting as proximity watchers, for real-time subgoal intel of these said cells.

Every individual should be able to look innoncent and non threatening, also be ready to get into lone wolf mode. And of course shut the hell up when caught.

Whether it is violent, or non-violent, on the practical side of things, that is how terrorism works, that is how protests works, that is how guerilla warfare works, that is how revolution works.

Get organized.
