Hey guys,
just came home from our own protests in Greece (the cops kicked us hard, no kidding).
I 've been watching your thread since the beginning and I just wanted to tell you one thing:
Do NOT get abstracted, Do NOT let anyone deviate you from your goal. That is what happened
to us in Greece, people started telling lies, and then started saying "hey, this protest isn't right,
if you want it to be right you have to do this and that and so on.'.. That's when we got distracted. That's when the Police sent us all to hospitals. That's when the media turned against us. That's when we lost (for now, hopefully).
Do NOT let this happen to you. You have a brilliant movement on the rise, please don't let the usual suspects distract you. REMEMBER: if there is one thing in common all governments have, then it is one simple and effective quote: Divide And Conquer. Please, don't fall for that.
The part about this quote which most resonates with me is: "No Right, nor left."

In Greece, we made up this quote: "No to capitalism, no to communism. No Right, nor left. The only thing that trully matters is Humanitarism".
Think about it.
Unfortunately humanitarianism isn't going to get your face on the cover of Forbes. The truth most commonly falls on deaf ears.
I know you are 100% right. However, you 've got to fight for what you believe. Or at least we do. That's how we've been raised. Foolish, I know, but still, if nobody stands for it, then it won't exist.

How sweet. ABC news picked up the story, but they obviously went looking for folks they could easily discredit. Notice the guy holding up the alien sign?

So, a “U.S. Day of Rage” is scheduled to start an “Occupy Wall Street” camp-out on “17/9/2011″ (which would denote orchestration by those who use the British means of writing dates). And as with the “Arab Spring,” much of the organizing is being done through social media, especially super-popular Facebook and Twitter.
Immediately upon clicking links, one finds it to be the America-targeting element of a worldwide movement, especially popular by the looks of it, in Old Europe. Again, that is no surprise to those who have looked into the updated mode of Marxist revolution stemming from the Gramsci and Trotsky schools and historically, even the days before Marx and Engels. Revolutionary proponents like to hide behind the non-American ideal of democracy (as in permanent rule of the proletariat majority, forget about a republic) along with nebulous and mysterious anarchistic labelling.
But now the demonstrators have their own video cameras. If the police attack unprovoked it will likely be recorded and disseminated via internet.

the media will almost always justify police actions in these situations. TPTB have more control over the media now then they did during the Civil Right Movement.

I'm really not to sure what to think about this protest. One thing that gets me is why Wall Street? Why not outside the federal reserve? I guess I will just reserve judgment until i can read more in to this but i doubt this is the start that many people were looking for. I wonder how long it will be before the NYPD pulls out the sound cannons

Yes they have targeted Wall Street as the exemplary representative of Capitalism. In the Arab Spring they brought down Pro -western leaders. Here that is not what is happening.
