The March Is On The Move! The People Are...
Foley Square is electric, can you feel it? There is a wind blowing here. The sun in shining here. People are angry and smiling and beating drums and making speaches. There is a pavilion where the Union leaders are speaking, but more importantly there are human megaphones dotted throughout the park expressing their desires, their own methods for radical change in America. We are all here for...

Heading To New York. Need Help/Advice.
I have been following the Occupy Wall Street protests for a while. And for the past couple of days, I have been seriously thinking of heading to New York to participate. The visit is likely to be in mid-to-late October or early November. While I plan to spend my days at Liberty Plaza Park, it is not possible for me to camp out there at night due to a chronic back condition. So I’m looking for a...

Evil Capitalism/Evil Socialism A Common False...
Capitalism in itself is just the converse of labor, labor wouldn’t exist without capital and capital wouldn’t exist without labor. The fracturing of labor from the equation and creation of the false struggle between the two is what created Fascism on the one hand and Socialism on the other. There is a middle ground where both sides exist with equanimity and that is the single goal of a...

Why I'm Freezing My Butt Off @ Liberty City
I am here because I do not have a voice in any other forum in our political system. I am hear because no-one I have ever voted for has won except one time and when that happened they didn’t do any of the things they said they would in their campaign. I’m tired of only having 2 choices, neither of which I believe to be honest. I’m tired of being yelled at by my neighbors because...

The Higher Education Myth
People in the U.S. are sold the idea from kindergarten that if you go to college you will get a job and have that elusive American Dream, indoctrination works! And, most employers DO scoff at people without a degree no matter how self educated and talented they are, ask anyone in the silly profession of “human resource management.” It is a political and financial windfall for lending...

It's About Tearing Down The Broken System
It’s not about which system works best, this battle of ideologies is what keeps the 99% fighting each other instead of recognizing the common enemy. The imbalance that has occurred through-out Europe is a direct result of flailing Multinational Banks dismantling economic systems worldwide. This is not the direct fault of democracy either of the “socialist” variety as in Europe...

Occupiers
If you have been down to Wall Street, we would love to hear about your experience, even if you only went down there for an hour. What you felt, saw, and heard adds many dimensions to this movement, and allows the people to feel solidarity with it. We are the 99%, and sometimes that’s said so often that it remains a number - a percentage - but, it’s good to keep in mind, that 99% means...

Occupy Wall Street - October 2, 2011  Just posting protest signs and news can make the Occupy Wall St. Movement seem overwhelming and too one dimensional, but the atmosphere there is not that intense. People are conversing, laughing, singing, eating, dancing, and enjoying each other’s presence. Source: TBFree

AN OPEN LETTER FROM TWO WHITE MEN TO...
We—two white men—write this letter conscious of the fact that the color of our skin means we will likely be taken more seriously.  We write this knowing that because people of color are thought to be too biased to speak objectively on issues of race, our perspective in this context will be privileged.  We write this aware of the history of colonization, genocide, and slavery upon which this...

The 99% are people
The movement Occupy Wall St., (OWST) is going onto its third week, and many are pleasantly surprised at how far this protest has come. Even the people who organized and worked months ahead of time to make this possible, didn’t anticipate the support and energy it has received. The atmosphere on the camp is hopeful, and even though the weather can be friendlier, the spirits are up. From the...
