Mayor Bloomberg laying down the law.

This video asked me to "choose an answer to continue". I ignored it and it played anyway.

And too, Captain Lewis. Along with Dr. Cornel West.

And Damn but Keith Olberman is doing a bang-up job showcasing Occupy Activists of Interest and Issues, critiquing the Corporate/Mainstream Agenda & Spin. Way to Go!

There is a danger to the Occupy Movement far greater than any abuse the cops can dish out.

By Mike Flugennock

There is a danger to the Occupy Movement far greater than any amount of pepper spray, tear gas or blunt force trauma that could be dished out by the police, or any amount of buffoonish insults crapped out by Fox News -- and that is the danger of being co-opted by the Democratic Party in the form of its various front groups. Luckily, though, this generation of dissidents seems less likely to fall for the Democrats' snake oil than their older comrades who came out of Seattle/WTO and "A16".




The Democrats' co-optation attempts are especially galling in the context of the latest news of the Obama re-election campaign fundraising efforts. They're continuing the pace set during the '08 campaign, when the Democrats first surged ahead of the GOP in the amount of campaign cash coming from Wall Street and the banksters.

Not only that, but it's right out in the open, butt-assed naked, reported on the front page of the October 20th edition of the Washington Post. The real "money shot" comes eight paragraphs deep:

"Obama's ties to Wall Street donors could complicate Democratic plans to paint Republicans as puppets of the financial industry, particularly in light of the Occupy Wall Street protests that have gone global over the past week."

"Could complicate Democratic plans"? No shit, Sherlock.

Of course, this inconvenient truth won't stop the likes of Michael Moore, the AFL-CIO, MoveOn and the Progressive Democrats Of America from trying to weasel their way in and divert the movement's energy down the Democratic Electoral Black Hole anyway, because that's just the way they are -- exploitive, manipulative, parasitic, amoral.

Tense scene right now! Police using barricades to attack protesters/photographers.

[Jeff]

Any charitable feelings I can muster for police right now are down to this man.

(I'd like some more examples, officers.)

Just got back from OWS.

It's a shitty, cold, rainy day, but in all honesty, evicting the tents and tarps and turning Zuccotti Park into a gated community may have been the best thing for the movement. Without a comfortable home, they've stepped up the roving direct action something fierce.

For example, right now there are at least three different large groups roving around the financial district giving the cops (and the bankers/brokers who are trying to get lunch ) all that they can handle. On top of that, there are COUNTLESS television satellite vans, and roving reporters, which I believe is keeping the cops honest. It's all amazingly glorious!

I'm back at work for now, but I plan to go back to protesting tonight, and I'll be posting photos much later tonight/tomorrow morning.
