shai Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Re: OCCUPY CHANNEL ZERO WITH POSTS ABOUT WALL STREET *making a difference* I know for a fact you aren't ignorant, but you DO wear glasses. I'm going to have to think of a good response to this, or at least how I want to phrase it. I think I got it but I want to make it clear so everyone gets it. I thought about this and what I came up with might seem like kind of a stretch, but bear with me. In a way, people in the US don't really have rights anymore because they aren't using them every day and keeping the government in check. You can assemble peacefully, protest, be heard, carry weapons, buy gold, homeschool your kids, exercise your sovereignty on your own land...but we've more or less forfeited those rights for the sake of convenience, so when you have a group that goes out and actually does something seemingly out of the ordinary involving any or all of those rights the initial reaction is usually "Wow, check out what those kooks are up to" and the occasional violent backlash from authority...but we should be doing these things EVERY FUCKING DAY and telling whoever's in charge that they work for US, not the other way around. It's basically a con, it takes a lot to see it then transcend it and a lot of Americans are too scared/complacent to even try. I'm at the point where I think some people SHOULD be armed at the occupations, just like they are at Tea Party rallies....I mean, if the cops are going to behave like assholes, they need to know that the potential for an immediate and severe response is there. And this is coming from a pacifist...I don't want to see anyone get hurt or killed, but the cops have apparently forgotten who pays their bills and are blind to the fact that they are representing the wrong interests. In other news, several unions (including the Longshoremen, teachers and medical workers) have stated they are in solidarity with the general strike....so the mayor wants to speak at the GA tonight, probably because she doesn't want to be remembered as the mayor that started a riot THEN got the city shut down.

shai Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Re: OCCUPY CHANNEL ZERO WITH POSTS ABOUT WALL STREET *making a difference* Making demands precludes having a dialogue about what needs to change. Think about it...if you had nothing to lose and one chance to get the attention of someone who had everything to lose and you left your grievances somewhat open to interpretation, that's a pretty unsettling tactic. Greed is part of the human condition, which is why it should be recognized and dealt with rationally and with a measure of restraint. Otherwise, you end up collectivizing everything and that's something Americans are DEFINITELY not ready for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampFightOner Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Re: OCCUPY CHANNEL ZERO WITH POSTS ABOUT WALL STREET *making a difference* We've been getting freezing rain all day, and now some of it is turning into snow. That, combined with the eviction notices the city handed out after finding Level 3 sex offenders everywhere in the park, has really thinned the herd in Providence. I'd say it's half the size it was yesterday, maybe less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shai Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Re: OCCUPY CHANNEL ZERO WITH POSTS ABOUT WALL STREET *making a difference* Below is the proposal passed by the Occupy Oakland General Assembly on Wednesday October 26, 2011 in reclaimed Oscar Grant Plaza. 1607 people voted. 1484 voted in favor of the resolution, 77 abstained and 46 voted against it, passing the proposal at 96.9%. The General Assembly operates on a modified consensus process that passes proposals with 90% in favor and with abstaining votes removed from the final count. PROPOSAL: We as fellow occupiers of Oscar Grant Plaza propose that on Wednesday November 2, 2011, we liberate Oakland and shut down the 1%. We propose a city wide general strike and we propose we invite all students to walk out of school. Instead of workers going to work and students going to school, the people will converge on downtown Oakland to shut down the city. All banks and corporations should close down for the day or we will march on them. While we are calling for a general strike, we are also calling for much more. People who organize out of their neighborhoods, schools, community organizations, affinity groups, workplaces and families are encouraged to self organize in a way that allows them to participate in shutting down the city in whatever manner they are comfortable with and capable of. The whole world is watching Oakland. Let’s show them what is possible. The Strike Coordinating Council will begin meeting everyday at 5pm in Oscar Grant Plaza before the daily General Assembly at 7pm. All strike participants are invited. Stay tuned for much more information and see you next Wednesday. So who's going to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish my city had more balls/less pussies but our occupation is still holding out and the mayor actually went down to talk today. Come on Oakland, get this shit rollin.

Most of the crowd seems focused yet kind of subdued...it's all business now and people realize that. I'm not worried about the general strike at all, it's going to be crazy fun but I think it's going to be safe if enough people show up (I'm hoping for 10,000+). Cash, if you get out here PM me.

UPS! Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Re: OCCUPY CHANNEL ZERO WITH POSTS ABOUT WALL STREET *making a difference* ^ That. Throwing rocks at the cops is fun, but what makes headlines is the bottom line really. No one really care about a hurt pig or two, but if every time the cops start an outrage shit gets fucked up people are going to finally be outspoken. Some people need to take down cameras and show the protestors only being peaceful and the cops poppin shit off so the news cant twist it making the occupation seem like they(the people) started anything.

As long as you have a bandanna and some Maalox you don't really need a gas mask. I think gas masks are more trouble than they're worth at a demo...they obscure your vision, are pointless if you wear glasses, and basically are a handle that you can be grabbed by if things get up close and personal. Grabbing canisters is a bad-ass but really risky move...I used to take the easy route and kick the canisters back towards the cops- they hate that. For that you should be wearing some boots. That reminds me...shin guards are useful, they've saved me from getting taken out from kicks or running into shit I wasn't paying attention to while running. I don't think things are going to pop off like they did on Tuesday unless the demonstrators fuck up (which I'm definitely not ruling out). According to some people who are a little more plugged in than me, a bunch of cops have quit the force over the past few days. All right, gotta go to work. I'll have some pics to post once I get them resized and uploaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
