Great read: The Long Road to #OccupyWallStreet and the Origins of the 99% Movement

[dixiegrrrrl]

"How Anonymous, AmpedStatus, the NYC General Assembly, US Day of Rage, Adbusters and Thousands of Individual Actions Led to the Occupation of Liberty Park and the Birth of a Movement

As the occupation of Wall Street moves into its third week, there are many questions about the organizers behind the ongoing protests and the origins of the 99% Movement. As one of the many people who actively supported the effort, and helped launch the 99% Movement, I will give my perspective on the events leading up to the occupation of Liberty Park. "

12. I would settle for an honest Senator and Representative

then we would not need the lobby industry.

13. my point exactly however... given the level of corruption...

It appears time to put our bodies "upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus"

14. Agree. As Chris Hedges writes again, to day,

"There are no excuses left. Either you join the revolt taking place on Wall Street and in the financial districts of other cities across the country or you stand on the wrong side of history. Either you obstruct, in the only form left to us, which is civil disobedience, the plundering by the criminal class on Wall Street and accelerated destruction of the ecosystem that sustains the human species, or become the passive enabler of a monstrous evil. Either you taste, feel and smell the intoxication of freedom and revolt or sink into the miasma of despair and apathy. Either you are a rebel or a slave."

good read, recommended, btw...
