Why are the seemingly enlightened (OWS protestors) requesting that the psychopaths sitting in the seats of power:
1) stop stealing (bankster bailouts), 2) stop waging illegal wars of aggression (Congress never voted on these recent wars), 3) stop holding on to a system that is fundamentally parasitic (that notorious act of 1913) 4) reform a (tax) system that is unconstitutional
Think psychology here- do mental health workers protest their clients, when their clients do not make progress quickly enough? This is the reality of the OWS movement- you are demonstrating to insane beings that you do not approve of their measures, and they do not really understand nor care about your energy, your theories nor your perspectives.
So, I propose forming a network of communities, who, IN PEACEFUL SOLIDARITY, will no longer pay taxes, and will no longer pay rent nor their mortgages. And if any policy enforcement agents come and try to evict these "occupiers" (of residences), then that is where the movement needs to determine their methods of resistance.
I love what OWS is doing- great energy, great message, and by all means, DO NOT STOP...but instead, maybe engage those who support you, but who have not come out, by beginning Stage 2: "No more Federal Reserve Note Extortion Tolerance Policy" via refraining from paying taxes/ rent/ mortgages, and for the students, stop paying tuition- if the teachers and faculty stop showing up, then that's fine, commandeer the printers and print those Diplomas that you used to pay $150,000 for, after electing new Deans and Chancellors from yourself.

We shouldn't make any demands on the psychopaths sitting in power any more than our Egyptian comrades are making any demands on the rulers of their state except perhaps to tell them to leave, which is exactly what we should tell our 1%. Occupy everything, Demand nothing! Solidarity forever!
A few years ago I saw a congresswoman speaking in congress recommending to people to stay in their homes. I didn't remember her name unfortunately. I like your radical approach and wholly agree that OWS has to move to phase two, but here's the path most people can understand IMO:

You are 100% correct, unfortunately- this is where an evolution of consciousness needs to meet political awareness and passion. The conscious evolutionary says "Let's throw away the system, and start over," whereas the passionate politically aware person seems to be trying to fix a system that is designed to be broken (at the expense of the masses and the benefit of the power brokers)
I'm a farmer. I know a good machine from a crappy one (read Egypt). But a good machine in the hands of a lousy operator leads to damaged equipment and loss of crop leading to hunger and debts. we're coming out with better machines all the time but keeping the machine i have running productively means i can acquire a state-of-the-art machine sooner. So let's fix the machine we have (the ballot box is your tool box) while we discuss the new machine.
Do you know about the private corporation who designed the ballot box that digitally counts the votes? I hear you, and I wish I could believe in the potential of fixing the broken system, but I just am not really feeling it. And I am by no means calling for a New World Order. I am just saying, let's let these paradigms that keep people enslaved, fizzle out and fade away,take an inventory, and see where we stand.

I like Zeitgeist, and Thrive, and Kymatica, and every other documentary that pushes us to look beyond the lies and the paradigms that we were conditioned to believe, and take a look at some solutions that are not really new (they are based on ancient, evolved, Atlantean/ Lemurian/ Khemetic civilization)...Osho and Dr. Malachi West actually tried to implement such systems, but were squashed because they were unknown and lacked strength in #s...how do we inspire the masses of OWS'ers to get Lemurian (and stop looking to the psychopaths as "leaders," and begin looking at them as insane beings who occupy insane asylums (Congress, Senate, White House, etc.)?
