#OCCUPYWALLSTREET campaign - September 17

[Luther Blissett]

I can see the LA Times is up to the old standard game again. There were over 2000 people camped out last night, so I don't think the protests today were "several hundred" deep.

Huge convergence at Bowling Green subway station, protesters in the thousands. Ready for round two! #S17 #ows

This man is obviously supressing election/voting turnout. He even has that pattern baldness like Hedges.

The crowds were far smaller than those that took part in the marches last year.

I'm in Berlin, but I can guarantee you this is untrue. Because Sept. 17th last year started with a small crowd, a few hundred at most. The cops no longer allow an occupation to develop and grow. Also, where was any corporate media on Mayday, when 30,000 to 50,000 marched? (much larger than Nov. 17th last year). These stories are pre-written - right down to the fact that the first quote will be the article's tacit editorial position. Author can't say it, some fleshyheaded Wall Street worker provides it. But damn! If only we'd "gotten behind a candidate!"

Plus - it's 11 am in New York. Story already filed, done!

Oh, I know its a lie because as Luther said, twitter is blowing up w/several hashtags today.

Demonstrators protest near the Monsanto plant in Davis this morning. Some wore costumes, such as "Biohazard Bob" (in white suit) and "Miss GMO," the letters standing for "genetically modified organism." The activity comes an a day when Occupy protests were under way in several cities.

About 50 protestors, on the one-year anniversary of the beginning of the "Occupy" movement, were in front of a Monsanto plant in Davis this morning, saying they want to shut down the local office of the multinational biotechnology company.
In March, protestors staged a similar protest. At that time, the Missouri-based company decided not to open its Davis office and did not make anyone available for comment.
Davis police were monitoring the situation about 7 a.m. today as protestors sat, stood and paced outside Monsanto. Demonstrators had one driveway to the Monsanto complex partially blocked with yellow caution tape.
Protestors carried signs that said "Occupy will bring Monsanto to its knees" and "Genetic Contamination is forever." Some of the protestors wore costumes resembling hazardous material protective gear.
Steven Payan, representing Occupy Woodland, in a news release accused the company of "mass pollution to environment."
Protestors said the effort is in conjunction with other "shut down" Monsanto demonstrations worldwide.
