Follow the police and gently encourage them to join our cause. And leak documents!
Now we deserve our freedom from the moneymen and politicians!
More foolish than advocating the overthrow of moneymen and politicians (to which I heartily subscribe) is the notion that Libya wasn't one gang played against another to destabilize the country for Western oil monopoly. Same as it ever was. Always remember, some progressive media serve as gatekeepers, too.
I'll ignore the fact that your post is basically treasonous, and remind you that this ain't lybia. Foolish posts like this one threaten the very existence of OWS.
How is it "treasonous" exactly? Our gov't works on the premise of structured revolution, like Jefferson said "a little revolution every now and then is a good thing", our elections (if we get the corporations to kindly butt the hell out of them for once) are intended to allow us to "throw off our masters in D.C." every few years.
Near as I can tell the OP said nothing about a coup d'etat, they were simply talking about a "little" revolution, getting rid of these scheming, criminal, plutocratic syncophants, and installing statesmen elected by the people and not Corporate interests.
