Soft Regime Change in America

Will #OCCUPY Spark a Wildcat General Strike?
Soft Regime Change in America
How I feel, as a United States Marine, about what occurred in Oakland. (Reddit)

The #OCCUPY movement is entering an ominous new phase.

Police attacked #OCCUPYOAKLAND on Tuesday with tear gas, rubber bullets and flash grenades. Scott Olsen, a two time Iraq war veteran, was critically wounded in the assault. Graphic pictures of an unconscious Olsen, his skull fractured, being carried by fellow protestors to safety have reverberated from Zuccotti to Cairo and escalated the movement. On Wednesday, three thousand protestors reclaimed the square, reestablished their encampment and held a general assembly that called for a General Strike.

"We as fellow occupiers of Oscar Grant Plaza propose that on Wednesday November 2, 2011, we liberate Oakland and shut down the 1%... All banks and corporations should close down for the day or we will march on them."

There are signs of occupations in other cities taking up Oakland's call. A tantalizing possibility hangs in the air: Could a wildcat general strike spread across the nation? Are we witnessing the first clues of how a soft regime change might begin in America?

The revolution in Egypt is unfinished! Camp davis has been violated by Israel! Gaza genocide! Palestine occupied! Egypt humiliated! Soon the puppet regim in Egypt will fall. Stop aid to Israel. Conflicts in the Middle East have been very costly to the U.S. An estimate of the total cost to the U.S. alone of instability and conflict from the core, Israeli-Palestinian conflict amounts to close to $3 trillion, measured in 2002 dollars. This is an amount almost four times greater than the cost of the Vietnam war, also reckoned in 2002 dollars. See Links

Why are we continuing to pay for Israeli Apartheid and bankrupting ourselves? The Palestinians did no harm to us. We are harming ourselves by our own unjust actions. Now we want to destroy UNESCO because the whole World chose to vote correctly. Shame on us. We only pay lip service to democracy and Jesus, and now we are paying for it.

No Copying of George Soros Color Revolutions in the US! Central Asia saw a lot of this color revolutions!
Instead of a color get a Motto that reverberates! Like No More In Indignity! or Prosecute & Impeach Now!
Police Cronies! Game Over! No Fools! etc.

Egyptian Revolution was not a color revolution and was affected by Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 which since then been marginalized by US . Egyptians did not rise up for bread. They rose up for Islamic values. People in US believe in values. Justice, brotherhood, respect, and dignity, sincereity, and care.

The US has been supporting the thugs/Baltagia in Egypt, Syria, and Iran. In Iran US through George Soros was fomenting the Green Revolution and in Syria US is fomenting a fake uprising against Bashar Asad to give impunity to Israel and wage war in Lebanon.
