The US police have attacked the Global Revolution Livestream office of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement in New York, arresting several activists and journalists as the crackdown on media intensifies.
The Tuesday raid on the Brooklyn studio of Globalrevolution.tv, which covers OWS protests via live stream, followed a police order to the anti-corporatism protesters to vacate the studio.
Meanwhile, protesters have planned to rally in New York's Grand Central Terminal to protest against the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
They say the legislation is an attempt to restrict their civil liberties.

Note the source. Also check out Google News and notice that this story is not there unless you specifically look for "Livestream". It's completely absent from the Occupy X news.
How did we come to a point that where to get information about heavy-handed government intimidation and shutdown of the free press, we need to go to an Iranian news source? I know the story is true, I saw the video!

Of course we all smelled like Pizza Hut 24/7 since we all worked there
Now if you want hostile (since you are taking me back to the day) listen to some old Bone Thugs
From Bizzy's verse- (and in the 1 in a million chance Bizzy reads this, lay off the drink man. We need you around for a while)
Hit 'em up, inside mines be blowin' up, I'm dumpin'. Remember: me spray 'em, slay 'em, gauge 'em, layin' 'em up off in a
coffin, ready to fade 'em, to buck or to shoot with the twelve gauge eruptions, creep out your seat, would ya? We come to
stay, found out none of my niggas was bluffin'. For the love of the murder, man, the murder game, the same, but a bang, bang,
bang.
Can't resist to bump you, now pow, runnin' 'em all off. St. Clair thugs stay down for the murder mo, oh no, ho, when a
thugsta stroll, forty-fours still pointed at the po-pos, stop 'em, drop 'em, numb those 'til they out cold, they froze. You know,
nigga, we can't be bluffin'. We bang insane. When I put one to your temple, mo murda, then blow out your brain.
