i've pointed more than a few people to this thread because the posters here have been doing a great job of consolidating information and updates here. i've even changed some minds about what Occupy represents. they may not be posting, but i'm billing this thread as the go to place to stay updated. it really helped me cuz digging this stuff out of the media rubble is really time consuming. i come here instead so i'm grateful to the posters that are posting.

i look forward to checking it everyday

Hartmann: What if I prove scientifically that 147 corps run the world?

and if this is true do you really trust food sources, vaccinations and medical research? You can rebel against taxes because its an immediate tangible thing but the picture is much larger then that. Are you going to ignore it and keep on the way you have or become proactive in changing it?

This was quite interesting. Corporations acting like cancer...

Let's see.........about 5:00am somewhere around 500 police from various jurisdictions around Oakland used tear gas and bean bags fired from shotguns to forcibly remove about 150 folks occupying downtown Oakland. The reasons cited were primarily about health and safety....They arrested about 80 people most of whom were/are cited and released. The protesters are re-grouping right now outside the Oakland Public Library.

You can read all about it at any of the Oakland/SF TV stations and also KPFA free radio has the protesters version.

atomiczombie · 10-25-2011, 06:27 PM

For everyone who is reading but not participating, I just want to say that your voices are missed here. Even if you don't agree with some of what we are talking about, the Occupy movement is about inclusion and that means everyone, not just the people we agree with. So PLEASE tell us what you are thinking and share your personal stories/points of view.

The news story I read on said that there were only 17 cops but the video shows different.

The cops adding fuel to the fire again.

The federal reserves has 1 billion $1 coins. I say we need to use them up! They have cost 300 million to make and they continue making them. The government is wasting money to make money and the taxpayers are paying for it.

"Some 2.4 billion dollar coins have been minted since the start of the program in 2007, costing taxpayers about $720 million. The government has made about $680 million in profit by selling some 1.4 billion dollar coins to the public since the program began."

Hey Drew! I have read the whole thread but not commented. The absolute best thing about OWS is that it is getting some people involved in social justice who may never have been so before. That is a great thing.

greeneyedgrrl · 10-25-2011, 10:22 PM

Thanks for posting Ebon! They have reconvened at OO... anyone know of a live news feed for this? I have a buddy down there and I know they have used tear gas again tonight, and some people have been injured... but can't find a live feed... or even anything from tonight
