This is how the revolution begins

Adbusters Tactical Briefing #42.
ALBERT IAN / RP

Hey all you wild spirits out there,

Here is how the Global Spring begins:

A few lone wolves among us start pasting posters in and around Goldman Sachs HQ at 200 West Street, Manhattan, New York. Groups of two or three turn up and hand out leaflets at their branch office at Maria de Molina 6-5a, Madrid, Spain. People start gathering and having fun outside Goldman's offices in 50 cities...

Then . . . on Thursday May 23, when Goldman Sachs holds its annual shareholders meeting at 222 South Main Street, Salt Lake City, Utah, 500 people turn up and solidarity games are held across the world. It gets serious when thousands start playing on September 17 in front of Goldman's branches in Los Angeles, Toronto, Moscow, London, Buenos Aires, Melbourne, Beijing, Mexico City. The media picks up on this fledgling global revolt. . .

And, one fine day, the whole thing suddenly catches fire . . . #GOLDMAN becomes a rallying cry for people everywhere to rise up against the financial fraudsters who have been fucking around with our lives for far too long.

When the moment is ripe, all it takes is a spark.

for the wild,

Thanks a lot. You just provoked a 10% increase in the budget of the the US Department of Homeland Security and added every reader of Adbusters to the National Security Agency's watch list. What do you want to do for an encore?

On opacity

Radical politics is defined by opacity, anonymity and dissimulation … and by invisibility: by the political presence of absence.

The power of surprise, of secret organization, of rebelling, of demonstrating and plotting covertly, of striking invisibly, and in multiple sites at once, is the key element that the Invisible Committee, anonymous authors of The Coming Insurrection, affirm for confronting a power whose firepower is vastly superior. To be explicitly visible, to appear explicitly – in a maneuver, in organizing, even in an occupation –“is to be exposed, that is to say above all, vulnerable.”

Adbusters teams with Goldman Sachs Group!

Stay tuned for written pledges of friendship by Adbusters and Goldman Sachs leadership soon!

Once exposed, The Puppet Masters and the Banksters loose their power. Now that the population of the world has seen the game, they are the ones growing more afraid everyday. It may not happen this year, but it will happen.

It is so sick to see the RECENT increase of ads on youtube just before the begining of videos...
This should be a campaign for adbusters...
