whatever the cases, i doubt many of the o.w.s. folks are employed in any productive sense of the word
but i do concede that they are well organized per report by aljazeera blogs.aljazeera.net and suspiciously so by take of the russians. between the two sources, they ought to know what street crowds are all about
just in in-tray

whatever the facts now matter less than the truth that ALL street movements get hijacked by organizations sooner rather than later, unless put down fast
i always am suspicious of american everywhere-except-here 'exceptionalism'
let us watch and brief this jasmine (oops, no, i meant Big Mac) revolution
my father was a british communist party member back in the 1930s


attached below are photos of two of his political cartoons published at the time - nothing much has changed since that time
go well w/ below song
hymn.ru
Arise, ye workers from your slumber, Arise, ye prisoners of want. For reason in revolt now thunders, and at last ends the age of cant! Away with all your superstitions, Servile masses, arise, arise! We'll change henceforth the old tradition, And spurn the dust to win the prize! So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race.
No more deluded by reaction, On tyrants only we'll make war! The soldiers too will take strike action, They'll break ranks and fight no more! And if those cannibals keep trying, To sacrifice us to their pride, They soon shall hear the bullets flying, We'll shoot the generals on our own side. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race.
No saviour from on high delivers, No faith have we in prince or peer. Our own right hand the chains must shiver, Chains of hatred, greed and fear. E'er the thieves will out with their booty, And to all give a happier lot. Each at his forge must do their duty, And we'll strike the iron while it's hot. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race.
cheers, j

I distrust this leftist 'tea party with brains' (allegedly) as well.

Wall St. protestors much better organized than in my Vietnam War era.Unlike their Libyan counterparts they don't seem to have their own central bank yet but they're certainly getting funding from somewhere.I'd love to ask the blonde (who hardly appears homeless or distressed) how she pays the rent while 'protesting' everyday. |
