"Its a pleasure to be in the struggle with Mickey Z."
- Cindy Sheehan, from her foreword to the book
Preface: My latest book, Occupy this Book: Mickey Z. on Activism, is now available as an e-book from Sullivan St. Press (SSP). Order it here. (Find related download info on the SSP Facebook page.)
To follow is an excerpt from Occupy this Book, called Everyday life in a corporate propaganda state.
The American corporate media had to pull out its entire arsenal to deal with Occupy Wall Street (OWS). In roughly this order, the media works: First it ignores an event, then it treats it as a curiosity, and then it pulls out the big guns. Occupiers were portrayed as slumming rich kids, drug addicts, rapists, selfish, lazy, unwashed, murderers, and inevitably, the ultimate insult: terrorists.
Most of the time, the anti-OWS medias favorite tactic was a news blackout and then the derisive obituary thrown in to make everyone think it was over.
