While Occupations in <a href="http://occupywallst.org/forum/eviction-deadline-passes-occupy-la-holds-ground/">Los Angeles</a> and <a href="http://occupywallst.org/article/live-occupy-philly-still-standing-strong/">Philadelphia</a> are still holding strong (as of 11pm EST) and Washingtonians are <a href="http://occupywallst.org/forum/washington-state-capitol-building-occupied/">occupying their State Capitol</a>, the encampment at <a href="http://www.occupyokc.com/">Occupy Oklahoma City</a> is now under threat of eviction.</p> <p>City officials declined to renew a permit application and announced that overnight encampment will no longer be "tolerated" at Kerr Park, where the Occupation is currently centered. Officials also stated that the Occupiers will not be granted a permit at any other location. OccupyOKC had previously been paying $55 per day for the permit. After the city refused to accept payment for a renewal, the police department told the Occupiers in a letter to expect eviction between 11 p.m. to 5 a.m tonight. Several Occupiers have stated they are prepared to be arrested nonviolently.</p> <p>During the <a href="http://occupywallst.org/article/solidarity-striking-chinese-workers/">Black Friday national day of action against consumerism</a>, several Occupy OKC members were arrested inside a Walmart. Occupy OKC participants used the people's mic inside to show support for employees who had to work that day. Police allegedly over-responded, tackling protesters and using force against the peaceful disruption.</p> <h2>Updates:</h2> <ul> <li><strong>12:32am EST:</strong> Police are beginning to surround the park.</li> <li><strong>12:20am EST:</strong> Twenty minutes past the 11pm CST eviction deadline, at least fifty people reported in the park. No sign of police yet.</li> </ul> </div>  <p class="view-comments"> <a title="View Comments" href="/article/occupy-oklahoma-city-now-facing-eviction/#comments"> 53 Comments</a> </p> </article> <h3 id="comments"> <span id="comment-count">53</span> Comments </h3> <div class="postcommentform"> <textarea rows="5" cols="70"></textarea><br /> <button class="save">post comment</button> <img class="loader" src="/media/img/ajax-loader.gif" width="16" height="16" /> <span class="error"></span> <a style="font-size:small" href="http://occupywallst.org/forum/moderating-policies-will-be-reposted-somewhere-pro/">Read the Rules</a> </div> <section id="comment-list"> <div class="item comment" id="comment-442868"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">10</span> points by <span><a title="View proudofOKC's profile" class="user" href="/users/proudofOKC/">proudofOKC</a></span> (361) <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>Be safe Occupy OKC!

The wealthy <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN2Q6sdh6Bg">(who control policies)</a> will use police force as an attemt to stop the movements. It´s just a natural reaction; they want to keep all that they have stolen thru bailouts, exploitation etc. These tendencies are however an indication that we´re on the right track: The elites are getting scared, and react by increasing their effort in trying to crush movements. The finacial elite will however fail. Police brutality is counter-productive, it just leads to more support and sympathy for people engaged in the struggle among the general population.The Occupy Movement should, as I mentioned in the article "The Transition Phase: The Road to Freedom", react with <strong>non-violent</strong> means including an increasing number of <strong>strikes</strong>; sit-down strikes, local general strikes, all of´em.</p> <p><strong><em>"What you should do is exactly the kinds of things that are going to lead to hysteria among privileged and powerful people" -Noam Chomsky</em></strong></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cdSoMbwTA4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cdSoMbwTA4</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YftlB3AxBws">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YftlB3AxBws</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHse0oaddr8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHse0oaddr8</a></p> <p>Keep on growing, keep on fighting. yours s. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://struggleforfreedom.blogg.no/"><strong><em>struggleforfreedom</em></strong></a></p> </div> <div class="links"> <a class="up " href="#">↥twinkle</a> <a class="down " href="#">↧stinkle</a> <a class="reply" href="#">reply</a> <a class="permalink" href="/article/occupy-oklahoma-city-now-facing-eviction/#comment-443864">permalink</a> </div> </div> <div class="replies"> <div class="item comment" id="comment-448377"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">1</span> points by <span><a title="View AuditElmerFudd's profile" class="user" href="/users/AuditElmerFudd/">AuditElmerFudd</a></span> (259) <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>Thanks again for the Noam Chomsky trolling.

Stringer just ruled in favor of Bill Rudin’s condos where St. Vincent’s hospital was and Bill Thompson allowed NY Pensions to be raided and allowed City Time billion dollar fraud to go on and on. As soon as John Liu replaced him he shut down SAIC militray type with pentagon that was illegally billing us for services they did not deliver. Rudy brought in CityTime threw away AutoTime a payroll system created and run by City Workers to outsource.

This placed a shift of focus upon my book to a more important message, of the truths which have occurred in her times and how it connects to the events that have surround our present lives. The screenplay I am currently writing is two stories in one, the events of the modern investigation and the events that surrounded Edna Wallace Hopper. Anyone interested in the film project please contact me. The book reveals her darkest secrets as well as other notables who surrounded her life, including the Royal House of Windsor and a dark secret held since the 1860’s, until now……. The last career in her life was as a key Wall Street trader in the 1940’s through 1959. In my investigation, I find some of her darkest unknown secrets to come from her surroundings in the 120 Broadway building. The contemporaries that she invested for and mingled with were primarliy the rich and powerful members of the secret Skull and Bones Society as well as the World powerful Illuminati members and founder family members. It is no wonder that Edna placed such an importance on the welfare of her story to the generations that would follow her timeline. – Jim Alessio, author of The Eternal Flapper : The Many Lives of Edna Wallace Hopper</p> <p>Reply</p> </div> <div class="links"> <a class="up " href="#">↥twinkle</a> <a class="down " href="#">↧stinkle</a> <a class="reply" href="#">reply</a> <a class="permalink" href="/article/occupy-oklahoma-city-now-facing-eviction/#comment-456927">permalink</a> </div> </div> <div class="replies"> </div> </div> <div class="item comment" id="comment-452938"> <div class="content "> <p class="deleted"><span>[Deleted]</span></p> </div> <div class="replies"> <div class="item comment" id="comment-457641"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">1</span> points by <span><a title="View theCheat's profile" class="user" href="/users/theCheat/">theCheat</a></span> (85) <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>where did they "stays" before they occupied?</p> </div> <div class="links"> <a class="up " href="#">↥twinkle</a> <a class="down " href="#">↧stinkle</a> <a class="reply" href="#">reply</a> <a class="permalink" href="/article/occupy-oklahoma-city-now-facing-eviction/#comment-457641">permalink</a> </div> </div> <div class="replies"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="item comment" id="comment-449655"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">1</span> points by <span><a title="View dreamingforward's profile" class="user" href="/users/dreamingforward/">dreamingforward</a></span> (394) from Gothenburg, NE <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>Just say you are part Navajo and say you were forced to come here.</p> </div> <div class="links"> <a class="up " href="#">↥twinkle</a> <a class="down " href="#">↧stinkle</a> <a class="reply" href="#">reply</a> <a class="permalink" href="/article/occupy-oklahoma-city-now-facing-eviction/#comment-449655">permalink</a> </div> </div> <div class="replies"> </div> </div> <div class="item comment" id="comment-448026"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">1</span> points by <span><a title="View zorbaka2's profile" class="user" href="/users/zorbaka2/">zorbaka2</a></span> (61) <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>the general public don't realize this. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2827239/picts/ScreenShot001.jpg">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2827239/picts/ScreenShot001.jpg</a></p> </div> <div class="links"> <a class="up " href="#">↥twinkle</a> <a class="down " href="#">↧stinkle</a> <a class="reply" href="#">reply</a> <a class="permalink" href="/article/occupy-oklahoma-city-now-facing-eviction/#comment-448026">permalink</a> </div> </div> <div class="replies"> </div> </div> <div class="item comment" id="comment-447741"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">1</span> points by <span><a title="View zorbaka2's profile" class="user" href="/users/zorbaka2/">zorbaka2</a></span> (61) <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>I really believe it is time for some new strategies. camping in the park has gotten some attention and that was good.

I say ‘inhabited’ because many of the disenfranchised societies didn’t have much concept of ownership, though both the society and the individuals within society did have ‘stewardship’ over specific portions of the land.</p> <p>But this meant the opposite of what land ownership means today. Today ownership of land often means that that land is used to speculate or to generate passive income.</p> <p>In contrast, stewardship indicates a relationship where that which comes from the land to feed, clothe, and shelter is gratefully received and honored and in which that land and all the minerals, plants, and animals on it are treated in a way that this gift is neither dishonored nor destroyed. It is instead tended and passed on to the next generation.</p> <p>With stewardship, no person or group needs to claim possession of more land than the individual or the group actually needs and uses. As the individual, family, or tribe wisely utilizes the resources that this land provides, he, she, or they can benefit from the land for many generations without being driven by an irrational fear to ‘possess’ more and more land which neither feeds, nor clothes any better nor provides the owner with any better shelter than before.</p> <p>Still, many have been so deceived by the concept of money and the seeming security it provides for the future and have been inculcated into a deep fear of scarcity in the future that they have been driven, even at the point of a sword, to take control of more and more land. Those pursuing this route have generally found that the empire is never big enough. There was always more to conquer, more to control, and the bloodsheds of recent and distant history have demonstrated an amazing distain for the concept of stewardship and needs of the present. Even death was accepted in an attempt to gain security for the future.</p> <p>Those who were not as warlike as their brethren had their lands taken from them in ever greater amounts until many were unable to feed themselves (one notes the starvations of the centuries and sees how much was due to the nonproductive armies which needed to be fed as well as feudal or government management).</p> <p>The very system of thought which led men to conquer more and more could be compared to a beast that ultimately endangered both them and their fellows and brought them all to ruin and near extinction…all because of the thought that enough to eat now is not enough and that more must be owned, possessed, and taken.</p> <p>This very spirit—which cannot be satisfied no matter how many billions are on its bank account—is threatening us today.</p> <p>It has been this influence which has deprived the ‘peasants’ of virtually all of their arable land. Derrick Jensen points out in a letter from a southerner to an abolitionist before the civil war:</p> <p>“We wish we could live without slavery, but here land is so plentiful that if we do not have slaves, no one will work our fields. They will simply grow their own food, build their own homes, and make their own clothing. It isn’t as in the northern cities where men must work if they are not to starve.”</p> <p>In other words, the ‘morality’ of the yankees before the Civil War was to have found a method to continue a very profitable slavery without owning the actual slaves. By taking lands away through force of State, (which land provided food, clothing, and shelter) the poor had no way to provide these things for themselves except through working for the money which the owners of the capital paid them.</p> <p>However, they became unnecessary competitors with their brethren, each trying to outdo the other for the lowest wage and became engaged in a massive contest to improve the value of their labor for their employers so as to be able to provide in some fashion adequately for themselves and their families. And this in a world where there was more than enough land for everyone to have their own area to subsist upon. But such is the power of the concept of domination, carried out primarily by the State.</p> <p>Even the Church was used to teach those who were without that their treasures would be great in heaven, in a future life, and that they should simply turn the other cheek and endure inhuman working conditions rather than fight against a system that through arms and the force of finance kept them as slaves in fact if not in name.</p> <p>Which brings us to today.</p> <p>We see a stronger tendency than ever, everywhere in the world for land to be claimed, ‘owned’ and managed by the rich and powerful, and especially by faceless governments and multinational corporations.</p> <p>Though many in the developed world have enjoyed relative prosperity under this system, even the former winners of the system are being edged out of the basic space in which to live as ownership of housing consolidates to the mega-rich and to banks and financial institutions (anyone who pays a mortgage does not own their dwelling. As an aside, mortgage is a French word coming from mort = death and gage = to engage—so an engagement to or until death).</p> <p>Those without resources to pay—monthly—are consigned to homelessness or to rely on the very system that enfranchised them and stole their property to feed and clothe them.</p> <p>In this context, Occupy was born.</p> <p>Occupy is to me the fundamental realization of ‘space’. It answers the question of ‘where’.</p> <p>This question is very key, but is often ignored.</p> <p>If we do not have any space in which we can be, the questions of what and how and why are irrelevant. Lacking fundamental spaces in which to meet, discuss, express ourselves, and find solutions to fulfilling our needs, we have chosen to occupy those spaces which have been stolen from us.</p> <p>And this is declaring war upon the system which has stolen our space from us.</p> </div> <div class="links"> <a class="up " href="#">↥twinkle</a> <a class="down " href="#">↧stinkle</a> <a class="reply" href="#">reply</a> <a class="permalink" href="/article/occupy-oklahoma-city-now-facing-eviction/#comment-447479">permalink</a> </div> </div> <div class="replies"> </div> </div> <div class="item comment" id="comment-446716"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">1</span> points by <span><a title="View BlowTorch's profile" class="user" href="/users/BlowTorch/">BlowTorch</a></span> (6) <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction and that certainly fits the situation now seen at the highest levels of power in Western civilization. In essence, the story is that the true source of power in the West, control of the financial system, fell into the hands of fanatical religious cultists who wanted to artificially make the prophecies in an ancient religious text (the Torah or Old Testament), come true. This fraud-based is enterprise is now falling apart. The result is unprecedented chaos at the highest levels of power in the sect-controlled governments of the United States, England, France, Italy, Germany and their slave states. One of the immediate triggers is a lawsuit that was filed in New York on November 23rd, claiming the assets of the global financial system belong to the people of the planet and not a powerful religious cult that uses the United Nations as a façade.</p> </div> <div class="links"> <a class="up " href="#">↥twinkle</a> <a class="down " href="#">↧stinkle</a> <a class="reply" href="#">reply</a> <a class="permalink" href="/article/occupy-oklahoma-city-now-facing-eviction/#comment-446716">permalink</a> </div> </div> <div class="replies"> </div> </div> <div class="item comment" id="comment-446241"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">1</span> points by <span><a title="View Brandon37's profile" class="user" href="/users/Brandon37/">Brandon37</a></span> (372) <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>What the hell?

Frank being gay has nothing to this with this you homophobic prick. He is still part of the 1% though. CNN, NBC and Fox are all part of the problem, Fox is just a little more extreme.

Where my grandma lives, they got over half the small city population (7k people, nearly 4k signatures) to sign a petition to keep Walmart out. They just completely ignored it and the powers that be sold them out. Walmart moved in, and like everywhere, all the locally owned small businesses that had been there since before statehood went bust. Everyone I know who works at Walmart is on welfare and their kids are on the state-funded lunches at school. It's an absolute leech on the community. The fruit they sell is full of chemicals and is picked way too early to retain the proper nutrients from the soil so they can ship across the world in time. They also don't offer anything in the way of healthy options. You can eat salads from Walmart and still be malnourished. The only food they sell is junk, and Oklahomans already struggle with cancer and obesity rates as it is.</p> <p>You could blame this all on the people and not on Walmart. Try it, but it won't hold true for my experiences. These people band together and take care of each other. The small businesses may charge more, but since they know you, if you are hard up they will help you. If you lose your job, people will make you food and bring it to your house. Walmart does not respect people. As one voice in this movement, I don't want to control the world, I just want economic opportunity and mutual respect.</p> </div> <div class="links"> <a class="up " href="#">↥twinkle</a> <a class="down " href="#">↧stinkle</a> <a class="reply" href="#">reply</a> <a class="permalink" href="/article/occupy-oklahoma-city-now-facing-eviction/#comment-447035">permalink</a> </div> </div> <div class="replies"> <div class="item comment" id="comment-461326"> <div class="content "> <div class="info"> <a class="collapse" href="#">[-]</a> <span class="karma">1</span> points by <span><a title="View noows's profile" class="user" href="/users/noows/">noows</a></span> (-2) <span class="published">12 years ago</span> </div> <div class="words"> <p>Sounds like that Oklahoma town wanted Walmart more than they thought.
