Dear friends on the Liberty Plaza,

I write to you because there has been discredit campaigns going on by the MSM. They claim this protest goes nowhere because of the lack of organization and mission. Friends, the last thing the establishment wants is for you to get organized and be driven by mission. Why not give the establishment exactly what they say we lack. Political shrewdness is the key.

Regarding organization, we need at least an official speaker making demands. Leadership is necessary too. Why not make a charter for decision making processes and organizational structures?

Regarding mission statement, how about "Materializing the following list of demands from the people of USA." The list of demands can be made and voted through internet. The key is putting into writing and publicly announce the demand to the government of USA. This is guaranteed by the 1st amendment of the constitution, freedom to petition the US Gov.

By doing so, there are 4 possible responses from the government.

  1. Accepting demands. (Impossible)
  2. Declining demands. (Likely)
  3. Making compromises and go back on promises. (Maybe)
  4. Ignore (Most likely)

Depending on the outcome, next strategy can be formed. Historically speaking, the more successful the movement gets in materializing the demands, the more repressive the government becomes. Good news is, it will indicate the movement gets serious. Serious movement will have wider options because it will mean greater political influence.

I sincerely hope this movement gets to the next stage.

Yours truly,

Anonymous

Bullshit.

If there is a leader, they will 'cut the head off the snake', or simply make sure it's one of their own who will sell you out.

The beauty of the internet revolution is that there are no leaders, no orders, no FOLLOWERS.

DON'T FOLLOW! Followers are tools.

Don't make demands, EXERCISE your rights. If you whine to your oppressors, you should be able to figure out what the response will be.
