Getting help from Unions and Online Tools, Occupy WS Protesters have spread not only to
Edited on Mon Oct-03-11 08:08 AM by Cal33
some 70+ U.S cities, that will begin their protests in the coming weeks of October
and November, but they have also spread overseas to cities in UK, Spain..... and
South Africa.

The protests have now become global! This could put a crimp to the style of the
arrogance and endless greed of the international corporations. Their dream was
to take possession of the whole world, and now the world is saying back to them,
"Stop your greed, lies, thuggery, and corruption! If you don't stop, we are here
to make you! Enough is enough!"

I think we are in for a long, hard struggle.

1. I'd say we've nicely drowned out the Tea Party bull$hit....
They and their dangly teabags look very silly right about now. If they have any sense at all they'll shut off the Faux Noise, the Beckhead and ALL their ilk and recognize that they are really just another part of the 99%... badly swindled.

2. Not yet... but with determination and staying power of the occupiers
it is inevitable that the middle roaders will start to hear this alternative message to the pandering (and bigoted) messages of the teaparty/GOP.

3. The Teabaggers are the small fry. Most of them are just doing as they are
told. To be really effective, the big fish (corporate executives and their stoolies
in the various branches and levels of government) deserve special attention, and have
to be dealt with. This is where the difficulty lies.

Occupy Wall Street is doing the right thing at this moment. They're starting with
bringing attention to the incredible degree of harm and chaos the big fish (Wall Street
and their cronies) have done and are contiuing to do to our nation.

This is the stage where we're at: right at the beginning. The larger the number of people
know about this, the better. It's hard to believe how many people don't yet know
anything -- in spite of all the modern means of communication, especially the Internet.
I think this is a most important step, to counteract the propaganda and lies that have
been going on for nearly half a century, and get enough people to KNOW THE TRUTH.

I don't know how things will continue from there, once that point is reached. I can only
speculate: For one thing, hopefully SUPPORT FOR THE BIG FISH WILL FALL, and they will
begin to be perceived by the people as evil. And the big fish need the numbers. Their
real numbers are tiny. We have the POTENTIAL numbers, and to make those potential numbers
REAL, we'LL have to waken up many propagandized people to the fact that they have been
lied to, and are on the wrong side.

The corporations will be fighting back, of course. There will be problems aplenty! An
important thing is down-trodden people from all over the world are beginning to wake up
and do something about this state of affairs. This is heartening!
