I don't know why they're bothering. The Occupy Sites will be up and running again within the week. The Movement's not stopping just because the Police ran through the camp.

[-] -3 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 13 years ago

Oh, the police can crank it up to level two if needed. Eventually what you will have is vigilantes helping the police. It's best that you shut her down. Get your things, get phone numbers and start meeting in private.

There are several hundreds of millions more of us (concerned citizens in the USA and nations all over the world) than there are of the 1% and their hired "bully boys" with their batons, tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets (which can easily kill and maim) and even more lethal weapons which they will, without any doubt, use in the future. As the saying goes, We Shall Overcome!

several hundreds of millions? really?

lol

find yourself in a crowd and you get delusional. and is why you buy into the idea of being the 99% right?

trust me, you are not. sorry.

[+] -4 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 13 years ago

And do you think you even have a million nationwide protesting? There are many many many more people not affiliated or in agreement with your stance in the nation.You try to rise up like that with the small numbers you have, you will be facing more than the police. It's best you stand down or lose all hope of ever achieving any of your goals - whatever they are.

The whole World is watching alight, and you are making us look ridiculous.

When was the last time you actually stood up for something you believed in? How does lamenting an initiative undertaken by others support the quality and well being in your life? It's so easy to find something to disagree with or disbelieve in. Imagine the power you have to to actually support something you find value in. Join or leave, the choice is yours. You can write history, now, or read about it, later.

I stand up for things I believe in all the time. I just do it in a smarter more effective way. You are just a puppet for Obama.

This is how Marxism works. You are following the plan lock and step.

It's not going to be a million protesting. It is going to be millions taking action.

You are going to fondly reminisce about the days when there were simple occupations and protests.

There are millions out here watching to see what action you take. And they are prepared to respond accordingly.

And what action are you going to take?

[-] 1 points by divineright (664) 13 years ago

Really. Let's just turn over the US to China now. Why should we care about accomplishing anything in the US?

[-] -2 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 13 years ago

Occupy Wall Street is not about our financial constraints with China. If it was, I would be a member. 99 percent of these OWS people have no idea what that even is. It's about class warfare. Americans against Americans. And they went up and asked Canada if they would please back them up. It won't work.

When they want to get behind the real problems, they'll have many more behind them.

[-] 1 points by divineright (664) 13 years ago

We do have to start getting ourselves together if we want to have respect globally and secure the future of our country. We can't continue on in a country where the middle class is the greatest contributor and least beneficiary. There's been a long standing class war and it's nearly been won. Now it's time to see that worker rights have slipped away, freedoms have slipped away, and general decency has slipped away. Let's roll up our sleeves and get things fixed.

[-] -2 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 13 years ago

It starts at the ballot. We have to pay closer attention to who we are voting for.

[-] 1 points by JonoLith (467) 13 years ago

I believe you are misinformed. There is no one that can be voted for who will help. Mitt Romney and Obama are both shills for the Corporate Empire. Obama's ramped up the wars in the middle east, and Romney will do the same. Obama put the cronies who cause the financial disaster back into power, and Romney will do the same.

Your vote is an illusion. A predetermined selection that has been bought and paid for by your masters.

or, something like that.

OK, see that doesn't make any sense. One percent of who?

[-] 1 points by divineright (664) 13 years ago

That is part of it yes. And we have to weed out any corruption we find in our system and work to refine it.

[-] -1 points by justhefacts (1275) 13 years ago

If they have 20,000 protesting nationwide at any one given moment I'd be shocked. Even the vast majority of people who "agree" with their frustrations/issues do not "agree" with, or wish to participate in, their methods.

[-] -1 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 13 years ago

They are planning on shutting down Wall Street on Thursday by holding a carnival. How misguided is that?

Oh this is going to be fabulous! They plan to spread out in the subway system to educate people about disenfranchisement? There's nothing New Yorkers LOVE more than talking to strangers on the subway!

At least they've warned the NYPD that they'll need to bring in semi trucks to hold all of the people arrested for holding up traffic on a public bridge on a weekday.

The more they inconvenience the 99% they keep saying they represent, the more annoyed that 99% becomes. I can't wait to see the poll numbers on Friday.

[-] -1 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 13 years ago

Newsflash: You are not educating people. You are destroying American liberalism. The longer this continues, the redder the country becomes.

[-] -1 points by justhefacts (1275) 13 years ago

It is very unsettling knowing that many of these people are going to get themselves injured. This is not the way.

May Something help rural and small town Americans if they do not joiin the movement. The US government has targeted them for removal from their farms and estates as environmental hazards.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And WHO does the US government think will grow their food for them after they remove them?

[-] -2 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 13 years ago

Interesting. I have heard this conspiracy before. But, I don't see it happening. Technologies are changing on farms and new more productive operations are being performed. These people have the best ability to adjust to change. They are a thousand times tougher than most OWS members could ever dream of.

Real Americans and Honest Americans don't fear the Patriot Act. why do you?

[-] 1 points by divineright (664) 13 years ago

Actually, plenty of real and honest Americans do "fear" the "Patriot" Act. Maybe you don't like your constitutional rights and I guess you have the right to that opinion...for today anyway. The government is using Orwellian language to wrap attacks on Americans like razor blades in Halloween candy. I'd advise against eating it up.

[-] -2 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 13 years ago

So all the deaths were faked by the news?

[-] 1 points by rebwvf (11) 13 years ago

Okay, I admit it, I set myself up for that one...Sadly, yes, there have been some unsavory activities going on at some of the occupations. I did read into the deaths..it is sad to hear. I had hoped this movement would stay relatively upbeat and death-free. But then again, that went out the window when I saw police beating up young, innocent, unarmed protestors...Sometimes this society just leaves me speechless ya know?

[-] 1 points by rebwvf (11) 13 years ago

I was actually in NY participating in the movement in the first few weeks. I really enjoyed my time there, everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. I suppose it hurts my heart a little when I hear about things like the recent events. No matter what I still fully support this movement and everything it stands for. Call me a fool if you wish, but I will never back down.

[-] -2 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 13 years ago

It's the structure of the movement. Either is isn't well thought out, or anarchists are finally realizing how misguided their dream is.

[-] 1 points by rebwvf (11) 13 years ago

I agree. Anarchy is a worthless cause, more like misguided freedom advocates... Our world is way too populated. A government free society works for groups of..hm 5 or less?

[-] 0 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 13 years ago

agreed. I believe in small government, but no government is a death warrant.

[-] 1 points by divineright (664) 13 years ago

It's hard to say. There is a lot of motivation to create fake accounts right now. That's not to say these things can't happen in OWS. It is likely they will just as they do in the rest of society. What we really need to focus on are the most objective news agencies we can find (which isn't easy either).

Portland, St. Louis, Denver, and Salt Lake have been shut down.

That is just the beginning. They will all be shut down due to the lawlessness, unsanitary conditions, drug activity, rapes and sexual assaults that are prevalent in the OWS encampments.

The OWS movement attracts nothing other than the lowest common denominators and dregs of society.

All of the encampments will be shut down.

[-] 1 points by divineright (664) 13 years ago

Maybe they are following the people that are supposed to be setting an example. Just because something is law doesn't mean it is what is right. We turned that corner a long time ago.

[-] 1 points by RicoSuave (218) 13 years ago

The OWS camps have become nothing but a bunch of thugs and criminals engaging in drug activity and other activities such as rape and sexual assault. Among other crimes.

Regardless of what you may have thought OWS once represented, it represents nothing anymore other than lawlessness, drugs, and assaults of innocent people.
