Occupy Wall Street Sept 17 2011

[jacee]

So is it alright for the family and I to stop sleeping in our panic room? Have the pitchforks, torches and zig zags been put away for another year?

No violent talk now.

Have a virtual flower.

Yoga?

Workshop on non-violent protest?

Ahh ... here comes the pizza again!

I thought you were going to take a holiday and take pictures?

Day 6 communique

https://occupywallst.org/

These are the same financial elites who were bailed out in their moment of need and now refuse to pay their fair share in taxes. Many of these Hedge Fund Managers still pay a smaller tax rate than the rest of us. That is our money! End the greed & expose the disconnect! these Hedge Fund Managers still pay a smaller tax rate than the rest of us. That is our money! End the greed & expose the disconnect! Occupy Wall Street supporters call on the 99% to raid the sanctuaries of the financial elite; to conduct non-violent civil disobedience in the country clubs, luxury shops, and private resorts where the Financial Elite gather; and to show that WE WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE BUSINESS AS USUAL.

Rather than use the police to break up demonstrations, Anonymous believes that they should have been there to protect protesters, and it was even handing out coffee to them as thanks.

However, that has changed."In the USA of all countries in the world, the police should have been deployed to PROTECT the protesters - not a giant brass bull that is the ultimate symbol of greed and corruption in America," it added. "And yet we were treated to the grotesque picture of dozens of armored police surrounding this brass bull, while thousands more police were deployed solely to harass, arrest - and abuse peaceful protesters." In response the group will launch its Day of Vengeance on 24 September at 12 noon in cities across the USA.Physical protests will be supported by cyber attacks on a range of organisations, including the NYPD and "Corrupt banking institutions"

Corporate not personal.

That's just business.

Cops harassing and injuring protesters though, that's personal.

O---K………Just saying, a guy currently fighting with the IRS over back corporate taxes, shouldn’t really comment or be taken seriously on tax policy

As for the “Day of Vengeance”, I suspect the only people that will benefit will be the lawyers hired by the protestors parents

Anonymous has hacked some big companies. They are pretty misguided judging by that day of vengeance post, but they could release a lot of sensitive banking information. Criminals might also benefit unfortunately.

Yep, giant hypocrite. He won't even pay the taxes he owes under current tax law. Why would we think he'll pay his taxes under new tax law, with higher rates? Answer, he won't. But people alot less wealthy then him, that also fall under the new higher rates will. Gotta love the limosine liberal.

Gotta love character assassination for lack of an intelligent argument.

Is this another thinly veiled "everyone who voted didn't vote PC, or who didn't bother to vote, are capitalism-hating anarchists who plan on revolting and beheading Harper" argument?

Are you Markuze's cousin or something?

This thread should probably be in US Politics.

Nevertheless, Americans can get their news from other countries if they actually want to know what's going on:

The young people protesting in Wall Street and beyond reject this vain economic order. They have come to reclaim the future

Undoubtedly the biggest story coming out of Occupy Wall Street is the complicity of the mainstream media in not reporting that Wall Street is under protest. A situation like this just doesn't go 'unnoticed' by the media for this long without media being in cahoots with the Wall Street bankers.

Or perhaps it goes "unnoticed" because there's not much to "notice" about it. Sorry, but this isn't the big deal you hoped it would be.

I asked how things were going on Bay Street - I suppose we're not hearing about that because the Canadian media is in cahoots with the Wall Street bankers? Or is it because it's a non-event?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this ain't Woodstock.

The group released phone number, addresses, names of relative and other personal data for a New York police officer, as well as photos that appear to show him at the protest and a closeup of his badge. He was identified in a video as the officer who sprayed pepper spray directly in the faces of a handful of women who had been penned in behind police netting at the Wal Street protests on Saturday in this slow motion video. The video shows no evidence of provocation on the part of the sequestered protesters.

Well at least the NYPD cops still have their badges on, unlike the Toronto G20 HarperThugs.That and video cameras everywhere makes it easier to charge the cops. And they will of course. Protests become more powerful as the strength of the police to bust them up is taken away. Heck we may even see a time soon when the police actually do their real job and 'serve and protect' everyone, including those exercising their freedom of speech.

We pay their salaries. They work for us.

Who the hell ever told them they had to protect Wall Street from freedom of speech!

[GostHacked]

Well we know WHO the cops are protecting.

Well the Wall Street media is reporting.

Wall Street Protest Survives Weekend Crackdown By Joe Deaux -

09/26/11 - 5:58 PM EDT NEW YORK ( TheStreet) --

The "Occupy Wall Street" protest in downtown Manhattan entered its second week on Monday after a weekend that witnessed some 80 arrests with some among the crowd feeling that sentiment was growing for their cause

The demonstration in the Financial District began on Sept. 17, calling for a. presidential commission be created to address the influence that corporate created to address the influence that corporate money has on politicians in Congress, according to money has on politicians in Congress, according to money has on politicians in Congress, according to adbusters.org, which initiated the event

"Everybody's here for their own cause. Our main cause is we want the banks to pay their fair share in taxes, we don't want our social services cut and we want them to end the war, because it's a huge drain of our money and resources," one protestor said on Monday.

I'm just wondering why you and the other right winger's are opposed to these protests? It's very simple to post discouraging remarks about this topic without contributing in any way as to why you believe it is wrong. This seems to be the right wing way, run in put in a few jabs then leave when questions are pointed towards you. Your either to lazy or not smart enough for an intelligent response or contribution. I'm going with the latter.

This bush_cheney2004 guy is a prime example. I have yet to see him contribute anything other than, yaa well Canada is worse. I mean is this guy retarded special needs, trying to get the most post number with the least real contribution,or as I suspect some sort of American troll working with the Republic Party?

bush_cheney2004 you have 23,165 posts, why don't you just post a period mark as a response it would be just as intelligent as most of your posts. + you can get more posts faster, that's your goal right?

Yaa I'm sure I'll about this from the site moderator, but hey It just had to be said. Sorry site moderator, I got it off my chest and it won't happen again.

I'm just wondering how you could watch those videos and actually support these hippies? I assume you have to be a hippy yourself.

For the record, there's plenty of reasons why these protests are retarded earlier in the thread. We're not gonna repeat ourselves when the best the hippies and you can come up with as a retort is "who are you protecting!??!", "whose streets??! our streets!!!", and other asinine chants and arguments like that.
