Just seems like it might be a thing...any ideas?
I did something big right at that time...and then I flushed it!
Silence.
And a full moon too. The thing to do is declare the occupations suspended. Issue a call for papers and pioneers of the 21st Century to be in Philadelphia for the July 4th 2012 National General Assembly:
The occupation of land is a very powerful statement, right up there with hostage taking. There comes a point where it becomes counter-productive and it should be obvious that OWS is pretty much at that point now. Soldiers occupying a foreign land through the depths of winter will resent the generals that "demand" they remain at the outposts. They just want to go home. Hostage takers in time must grow weary too. These actions aren't supposed to last forever, they are designed to upset the apple cart.
OWS is a "shot across the bow", a warning shot. A ship that sits firing repeated warning shots looses credibility. The crew will mutiny. Remaining in the camp/occupy mode is destined to fail, which would be a failure of epic proportions considering how successful the action has been. OWS needs to take the bull by the horns, and quickly. (today would have been ideal 11/11/11 for symbolism) NYC needs to declare the Occupation over. It needs to explain to it's supporters why it's the right thing to do. It needs to explain that this is not the end, it's the beginning. Imagine the shock waves around the world, respect +1 and the collective sigh of relief for the 99% It's the 1% that isn't going to like the sounds of this...
Here's where i disagree with you.Victory is to the #occcupy movement, but this is not the time to go home. Now it's time to get to work. It's time to pound the pavement announcing the coming National General Assembly July 4th, 2012 in Philadelphia and what the significance of that is.
Finally, the occupiers need to help clean up and demand that the cities deploy resources to assist the homeless.
In solidarity, for the sake of our kids, fare well OWS
Victory will only come when positive legislation is voted into law,...it will happen!.//Hide & watch!!
Yes, positive legislation will only become law most likely when the 99er's occupy Congress. //talk and vote https://sites.google.com/site/the99percentdeclaration/
