“And there’s a lot to be angry about [nowadays]… But I don’t think that people...”
– Noam Chomsky, “Class War: The Attack on Working People”
Let’s set the focus back on the ones really responsible for the problem. Change the substance and #OCCUPYWALLSTREET September 17th!

The right wing Propaganda-machine/blogosphere has started to jump into the fray.
From World Net Daily and from The Blaze.
Not entirely sure who has been using the “days of rage” language in conjunction with #occupywallstreet, but it sure sounds really scary and terroristy, right?
Ooh, and read the comments on WND if you feel like losing some faith in humanity today.

Why Western New Yorkers Should Occupy Wall Street... →
Our laws and our system are the result of a history of conflict between nations, peoples and classes, however this occupation is not a destructive act; such as, the recent English riots or a Global military campaign but, this is a constructive act. We may hate Wall Street and perhaps even the Stock Exchange building itself; however, people live in New York City. New York City, like Buffalo,...

#OCCUPYWALLSTREET Goes Global - Adbusters →
Inspired by the visceral potential of the Wall Street occupation, the Indignados of Spain just sent us word that on September 17th they too will set up camp outside the Madrid Stock Exchange. The surprise announcement, that their #TOMALABOLSA will join your #OCCUPYWALLSTREET, may embolden other cities as well. A rumor suggests the financial district of Paris may be next … or will it be ...

Occupation of Wall Street Happening In September;... →
On September 17, Wall Street will be occupied. Not by warring/face-grabbing traders and not by troops sent in to put the volatile area under martial law, but by protesters who are going to “set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street.” #OccupyWallStreet has been organized by Adbusters, the “culture jamming” collective, who refer to Wall Street...

#OCCUPYWALLSTREET update - Adbusters →
Strategically speaking, there is a very real danger that if we naively put our cards on the table and rally around the “overthrow of capitalism” or some equally outworn utopian slogan, then our Tahrir moment will quickly fizzle into another inconsequential ultra-lefty spectacle soon forgotten. But if we have the cunning to come up with a deceptively simple Trojan Horse demand …...

Is September 17 America's Own Tahrir Square-Style... →
Starting September 17, the publishers of Adbusters want 20,000 people take over Wall Street for months, until their demands are met. The campaign’s nerve center urges protestors to “set up tents, kitchens [and] peaceful barricades,” apparently in anticipation of settling in for the long haul.
This isn’t a weekend protest — it’s an attempt to launch a Tahrir...

Essay on Daily Kos by AoT →
Something is wrong. We all know it. We all see it. We are subjected day after day, month after month to displays of absurdities and betrayals. We are subjected to a set of rules and regulations of governments and corporations which we had no say in the creation of. We are subjected to the whims of those who hold power, those who live in a world different from ours. A world where the worst...

Have we all just given up? What are we waiting for? Forget about the 20% who support the Tea Party — we are the other 80%! This decline will only end when we demand it. And not through an online petition or a tweet. We are going to have to turn the TV and the computer and the video games off and get out in the streets (like they’ve done in Wisconsin). Some of you need to run for...

“It’s going to take large popular movements to change this. And that can...”
– Noam Chomsky
A great quote to keep in mind as we prepare to #OCCUPYWALLSTREET and work for change in a few weeks’ time.
