    #OccupyWallStreet Is More Than a Hashtag - It's Revolution in Formation
    Friday 23 September 2011


    #OccupyWallStreet protesters gathering in New York's financial district on September 17, 2011. (Photo: David Shankbone / Flickr)

    A lot of what you've probably seen or read about the #occupywallstreet action is wrong, especially if you're getting it on the Internet. The action started as an idea posted online and word about it then spread and is still spreading, online. But what makes it really matter now is precisely that it is happening offline, in a physical, public space, live and in person. That's where the occupiers are assembling the rudiments of a movement.

    At the center of occupied Liberty Plaza, a dozen or so huddle around computers in the media area, managing a makeshift Internet hotspot, a humming generator and the (theoretically) 24-hour livestream. They can edit and post videos of arrests in no time flat, then bombard Twitter until they're viral. But for those looking to understand even the basic facts about what is actually going on - before September 17 and since - the Internet has been as much a source of confusion as it is anything else.

    For someone who has been following this movement in gestation as well as implementation, it's painfully easy to see which news articles take their bearing entirely from a few Google searches. Some reporters come to Liberty Plaza looking for Adbusters staff, or US Day of Rage members, or conspiratorial Obama supporters, or hackers from Anonymous. They're briefly disappointed to find none of the above. Instead, it's a bunch of people - from round-the-clock revolutionaries, to curious tourists, to retirees, to zealous students - spending most of their time in long meetings about supplying food, conducting marches, dividing up the plaza's limited space and what exactly they're there to do and why. And that's the point. More than demanding any particular policy proposal, the occupation is reminding Wall Street what real democracy looks like: a discussion among people, not a contest of money.

    As is now well known, the anti-consumerist group Adbusters made a call on July 13 for an occupation of Wall Street. That and a bit of poster art were the extent of its involvement. Adbusters floated the meme and left the rest to others. The trouble was, though, that most of the others were meme floaters, too.

    The occupywallst.org web domain was registered anonymously on July 14, and it soon became the main clearinghouse for information about the movement’s progress. It remains so now and is getting, on average, about 50,000 unique visitors per day. It’s maintained mainly by a man and woman who met through the Anarchism section on the web site Reddit.

    Soon came US Day of Rage, the project of Alexa O’Brien, an IT content management strategist. Since March, she has been trying to build a nationwide movement for radical campaign-finance reform—“One citizen. One dollar. One vote.”—and decided to peg her efforts to the

    September 17 action in New York, together with organizing similar ones in five other cities.

    Then, of course, there's Anonymous. The most-wanted hacker-activist collective indicated that it would join #occupywallstreet in late August. Within days, the Anons' presence in the movement was being felt through Anonymous-branded viral videos, the bombardment of the movement's Twitter hashtags (of which there is an ever-growing number) and rumors of scrutiny from Homeland Security.

    Meanwhile, quietly, a group of several hundred mainly young activists, artists and students started gathering as a "General Assembly" (GA) - a leaderless, consensus-based decision-making process. They met weekly in public parks, starting on August 2 and continuing until the occupation began, with the intention of building an organizational and tactical framework for the action. It grew out of New Yorkers Against Budget Cuts, which had recently held a three-week occupation near City Hall called "Bloombergville" to protest against austerity measures. They had learned a lot from that and were ready to try something bigger.

    The GA formed an Internet Committee, which quickly became fraught with infighting about process, security concerns and editorial control. These problems consumed hours and hours of the whole Assembly's time. Their site went up, then down and then finally up again just days before the occupation began. It is now online at nycga.cc, but it receives only a small fraction of the traffic of occupywallst.org. Only on Thursday afternoon did the two sites figure out how to formally coordinate their activities.

    As a result of these hiccups, in the lead-up and early days of the occupation, media coverage almost always associated it with meme floaters like Adbusters, US Day of Rage and Anonymous. But none of them alone was as responsible for what would be happening on the ground starting on September 17, ultimately, as the group gathered in the GA.

    Others, it seems, have taken it upon themselves to fill the GA's media vacuum of their own accord. One document being circulated and discussed online is "Occupy Wall Street - Official Demands," dated September 20 of 2013, which includes detailed proposals for reforming the financial system, none of which has been approved by the GA.

    "This is definitely not ours," says Marisa Holmes, a facilitator of the GA since the first planning meetings. "All decisions made by the GA are made in this space."

    Worse, thanks to some imaginative theorizing by Aaron Kein of the right-wing online publication WorldNetDaily, the idea began circulating that the movement was "closely tied" with ACORN, SEIU and that it took its inspiration from the Weather Underground; George Soros; and, ultimately, President Obama himself. Five minutes at a GA meeting would easily disabuse one of such associations. The GA had no official organizational ties and, besides a food fund that has been stuck in an inaccessible WePay account, almost no money. Many wish that they had the support of unions, but so far they still don't.

    What’s actually underway at Liberty Plaza is both simpler and more complicated: music making, sign drawing, talking, organizing, eating, marching, standoffs with police and (not enough) sleeping. It’s a movement in formation. As protesters sometimes like to chant, “This

    Is Just Practice.” There are a handful of guys with Anonymous Guy Fawkes masks backward on their heads, but they’re just one affinity group among many. O’Brien didn’t appear on the plaza much for a couple of days—she and her colleagues were “running the back-end,” monitoring police radios, or delivering ponchos and tarps—and there has been almost no talk of “One citizen. One dollar. One vote.” Adbusters sends the occasional package of posters in the mail and offers confusing advice to organizers on the ground. Nobody’s exactly sure yet who is doing what, but they’re learning

    George Soros, ACORN, SEIU Are Behind Occupy Wall Street
    First of all I want to make it clear that I am totally against Wall Street corruption, Globalism and the New World Order. In principal I support REAL reform of Wall Street and the corrupt government. The NWO elite however are very crafty and I have become increasingly suspicious of the real motivations behind "Occupy Wall Street". As always, I try to get to the bottom of issues and dig into what nearly nobody else wants to. Recently many have suggested that this movement is being funded by the very same global elite that the protestors claim to be against. At first I thought "no way" and "they can't possibly be doing this" but in my investigation I have uncovered evidence that seem to prove my suspicions correct. So let me ask you, is George Soros involved and what is this about? Their website says this is all about combating banking and the financial forces that shape our country, but is there more? It would seems there is. I have discovered some information that suggests Wade Rathke, co-founder of ACORN and SEIU, announced the Day of Rage on March 25, 2011. I don’t doubt that is true, but haven’t been able to find anything other than someone else quote him – nothing linking to the actual quote. The source for the information seems to come from Canada FreePress. More so I have now discovered new information. It would seem George Soros is connected to the U.S. Day of Rage aka Occupy Wall Street through The Ruckus Society. On the U.S. Day of Rage website. The Ruckus Society receives funding from the Tides Foundation and George Soros' Open Society Institute provides grants to Tides, including a mere $4.2 Million in 2008, the last year figures are available. Several paragraphs down you’ll find more on the hopes for a Robin Hood tax, and rewriting our U.S. Constitution, among other little Marxist dreams, including violence since “fiscal reform” probably won’t do the job.

    Occupy Right Action – The Spiritual Practice & Social Activism
    October 1, 2011

    With a much needed and sought-after shift in Consciousness apparent in our world – both individually and collectively – inevitable questions are raised regarding how to proceed in the face of intense change, and where to stand in light of them. Some of the changes we are facing, and will face, may be difficult to bare, and yet to bare them or not is no longer a choice of which we have the luxury. The hour of our humanity is too late for our precarious and volatile global society to resort to escapism, even via the comforts of our preferred ideals.

    It has always been the case that one must face the hard reality of one’s own demons in order to become Truly Upright on the Path. Without a serious and ardent Effort to Work on oneself, to accept and address one’s own issues and suffering, so to Know ThySelf (distinct from the impurities of the unconscious and afflicted self resultant from societal conditioning, erroneous preconception, and emotional injury), Awakening to the True Nature of Being and a Natural Awareness of the Reality of existence is not possible. As an inherent product of this Work and the Realization it provides, it becomes Revealed that this Truth extends in Principle to all things and All Beings, of which we ourselves are One. As such, the turmoil we see occurring within our world today is no less a part of a Healing process, causing us to face the ugliness of our collective damage and disharmony. It follows that only in facing this fact can we arise from within ourselves to be a salubrious part of this process.

    'Last night we reported on the 700 Occupy Wall Street protesters who got arrested for marching on and obstructing the Brooklyn Bridge. Some have apparently claimed entrapment by the police (who encouraged them to walk on the road), but the people we talked to last night mostly suggested that the police merely stood by and watched, not encouraging them, but not stopping them either.

    So far we've seen no evidence of police actually encouraging protesters to go on the road, but there are videos that show police walking in front of the protesters, as they go up onto the road.

    This isn't the same as encouraging them to go on the road, but on the other hand, you could see why people in a crowd would think that going on a bridge is kosher if the police are calmly walking in front of the crowd as they go up the road.'

    This reminds me so much of moving cattle. I have cattle so I know that if you try to chase them they will turn and run in every direction to avoid being cornered. However if you go out and mingle among them and quietly walk in a particular direction, they have a tendancy to follow you. They are a very curious creature if they don't feel threatened.

    At least the arrests were not violent.

    Occupy Wall Street $eptember 17th Empty Occupy Wall Street: A Social Justice Movement for People, Animals and the Environment?

    Post  burgundia Mon Oct 03, 2011 7:45 am

    http://www.onegreenplanet.org/news/occupy-wall-street-a-social-justice-movement-for-people-animals-and-the-environment/


    Occupy Wall Street, which is described as a “leaderless resistance movement” that vows to “no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1 percent” started on September 17, 2011 in New York City and has been rapidly spreading across the country.

    The protesters were initially ignored by mainstream media, then criticized for lacking cohesion and are now beginning to garner more widespread attention, as they increase in number and strength.

    On October 1, 2011, the group released their first ‘official’ statement, which expresses why people feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world. While the demands of the group are still being negotiated and developed, the official statement outlines the key problems that are being caused by corporate greed and leading to mass injustice in the United States and overseas.

    High amongst the list of key facts they want to be widely known is the following statement directly addressing animal rights:

    They [corporations] have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices.”

    The scope of the focus on animal rights at the moment is unclear. However, the group plans to release additional documents in the coming days, including a declaration of demands, which may contain more details. Either way, it’s great to see animal rights finally being included within a broader social justice movement.

    Thousands of Americans have non-violently occupied Wall St -- an epicentre of global financial power and corruption. They are the latest ray of light in a new movement for social justice that is spreading like wildfire from Madrid to Jerusalem to 146 other cities and counting, but they need our help to succeed.

    As working families pay the bill for a financial crisis caused by corrupt elites, the protesters are calling for real democracy, social justice and anti-corruption. But they are under severe pressure from authorities, and some media are dismissing them as fringe groups. If millions of us from across the world stand with them, we'll boost their resolve and show the media and leaders that the protests are part of a massive mainstream movement for change.

    This year could be our century's 1968, but to succeed it must be a movement of all citizens, from every walk of life. Click to join the call for real democracy -- a giant live counter of every one of us who signs the petition will be erected in the centre of the occupation in New York, and live webcasted on this web page.
