Congratulations! You are doing something wonderful!
I wanted to warn you all about something I experienced long ago when we were organizing a peace march in 1968. One fellow kept talking about how we should beat up the "pigs" and how he hated "the man", etc. He even brought out heavy cardboard tubes to hold up the signs we made because he wanted us to use them to "defend" ourselves when the pigs started beating up on us. Well, guess what happened. The day of the march, Mr. Angry whipped out his police badge and arrested the other leaders while other police officers beat up many of the unarmed protesters. This is an old tactic. So please be careful when you hear people urging you to be violent, it could very well be an undercover cop trying to get you in trouble. Good luck, remember how much can be accomplished with non-violence. I'm so proud of everyone! I'll be watching.

The Movement is ALREADY infiltrated by very dangerous types, who have sold their soul to the Powers That Be - they are called AGENTS PROVOCATEURS and will stop at nothing to destroy OWS.

The Obama administration has just recently shown that it has NO MORAL CONSCIENCE whatsoever. A human life, American or foreign, means absolutely nothing to them.

If you think I'm exaggerating, read today's "Counterpunch" article on the murder of two American citizens ordered by President Obama despite an executive order banning assassinations, a federal law against murder AND protections in the Bill of Rights.

Yes, that is a terrible attitude to have. I think it needs to continue to be restated that we are against violence. Some people seem to not hear that message though and that is alarming to me.

Please watch this video and spread it around so that people get a better understanding of the root causes of our problems so then we can formulate an action plan better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3Qz1C-dAGc
