BREAKING: Occupy Protesters Walk 230 Miles From New York To DC

[EV_Ares]

On November 23, the so-called “Super Committee” in Congress will decide on the future of America’s middle class – and whether it will stand with the 99% or the 1%. So a group of everyday heroes from Occupy Wall Street embarked on an incredible journey.

2. Here's the problem...

The marchers left NYC on November 10.

They and/or OWS have provided no updates since then: no reports from the road, no announcements of participants joining them along the way. This piece, which was issued by MOVEON.ORG, rather than OWS, came out 10 days later.

I appreciate their dedication, but the significance of this event is not going to Washington to pleade the case of the 99%; it's the decision to walk their. If they don't publicize the march, they might as well have taken the train down the night before.

3. Then let's help them!

I'll tell 10 friends, and you tell 10 friends, and they'll tell 10 friends.... You know how it works!

We can start right here and make it go viral!

:woohoo:

5. Well it does stink that the M$M doesn't cover it and that Bloomberg smashed the laptops at base camp

But there has been ongoing announcements according to this DUer...

7. Two points

Occupy releases regular, like almost hourly updates, during the day on twitter.

You expect the AMERICAN media to report on this very inconvenient narrative? Watch Al Jazeera, and BBC or RT for that. The best source of info for this in THE US is Countdown on Current.

We have explained this repeatedly, but if you expect our propaganda networks to go there I got a bridge to sell you. Hell the night of the raid at Zucotti, AL JAZEERA broke news cast into breaking news and USED THE DAMN FEED from Global Revolution who were INSIDE the police cordon which our fearless press could not enter. For their own security of course.

Now chew on this... either watch the raw feed from global revolution or Al Jazeera to find out what is actually going on in my own country.

Oh I forgot, we have the freest media EVER... USA! (38 and rapidly falling)
