I came back to the park today after leaving about a month ago and there was one person? Did we win? Where is everyone?
Larvae morph in the winter months and emerge in spring as instruments for a renewed world. Be patient, grasshopper. Be patient.
OWS has a 24 hour occupation in Liberty Square without tents. There is a GA there every day at 7 pm.

Plans are underway for cations across the country including Occupation of the Democratic and Republican conventions.

Apparently there were OWS out in force today at Madison Square Park protesting the "Aerospace and Defense Finance Conference" and later at events by Barack Obama. http://www.ny1.com/content/top_stories/151683/twenty-ows-protesters-arrested-during-anti-war-rally Considering that they were getting nothing but bad PR sitting around in Zuccotti Park I'm glad to see that they're out making themselves heard.
It's basically over with in Zuccotti Park.
The movement now has office space in a nearby building, but only a small elite group of the OWS movement is allowed into the offices.
In a nutshell it is pretty much over in NYC.
You know OWS needs to get more organized and do selective demonstrations. I went to an OWS camp in Philadelphia and while I was thrilled to see folks taking to the streets and protesting I also noticed that it was sort of a magnet for homeless crazy folks and kids looking for a party atmosphere. Not everybody who's mad at the obscene behavior of wall street has the free time to camp out day after day but would find time to go to a demonstration.
Office space?!?!
Why do we need office space? Where is it? I'd like to go ask for my donations back if they are being used for office space.
Yes... They rented out office space.

That is partially where your donated money is going. To make matters worse, you wouldn't even be allowed into the office space. Only a "select" group of people and top level organizers are allowed into the offices.
They are keeping the location of the offices a very tightly guarded secret. They don't want anyone to know the location.
There is also word on the street that the donations are being used to rent a luxury apartment in downtown to house some of the OWS elite organizers.
You see ..... once a group like OWS gets close to a million dollars in donations, they form their own 1% to spend it and not let anyone else near it.
The movement has been compromised and is now being run to benefit a very small handful of people.
disinformation and lies.
So much for transparency..
Don't forget all the wasted donations to send people on a all expense paid vacation to Cairo.
