SPREAD THE WORD - People on the $treet need our help!
It's clear that the media is not prepared to give this occupation the proper amount of attention it deserves. Nor will they likely portray the people involved in a way that reflects the true values and purpose of the occupation. When the mainstream media finally get around to it, they focus on the matter at hand and completely ignore the reasons that created the need for the occupation in the first place. This is exactly how they dealt with the UK riots and this is what they will do here.

That is unless you continue to spread the word one site at a time.

"Four people have been arrested so far on day 5 | Text & Video

OccupyWallSt.org | The American Revolution Begins Sept 17th

"Four people have been arrested so far (as of 1:28 PM EST) on day 5 of the Occupy Wall Street protest. The first arrest took place this morning during Opening Bell March. At 10:10 AM, Isaac Wilder was taken into police custody and is being held at W. 154 St. New York, NY. One firsthand witness has informed us he was at the front of the peaceful march taking place on a public sidewalk when police demanded protesters turned left. When Isaac asserted his right to continue marching forward in public space, he was immediately arrested.

Two other arrests took place at 12:30 PM EST at Liberty Plaza. Two first-hand witnesses have confirmed the following story:

People were peacefully assembling on the sidewalk and the police told the public that they could not stand on public sidewalks. one person, was standing peacefully on the sidewalk and holding up a sign and the police swarmed him and arrested him. he peacefully went with them, without resisting in any way. People then peacefully walked with him and chanted in solidarity. And the police ran into the middle of the crowd and tackled one of the people there, and arrested him."READ MORE & SHARE The Information with others |OccupyWallSt.org

"Occupy Wall Street" is in place at the time of making and uploading this video. I wish no harm comes to them. I hope President Barack Obama takes personal attention and sees no harm comes to them. I have taken privilege presenting of this video, continued version of nc-Clip 34, in honor of those (mostly young) people who are occupying the 'Wall Street'. I see that they are peacefully rallying to draw attention of the broken American political, economic, and social system. I hope President Barack Obama takes personal attention and sees no harm comes to them.

Who is Occupy Wall Street?

Occupy Wall Street is leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%.

The original call for this occupation was published by Adbusters in July; since then, many individuals across the country have stepped up to organize this event, such as the people of the NYC General Assembly and US Day of Rage. There'll also be similar occupations in the near future such as October2011 in Freedom Plaza, Washington D.C. The Website | OccupyWallSt.org

OccupyWallSt.org | The American Revolution Begins Sept 17th

Around three in the afternoon we reconvened our General Assembly. There was a brief discussion on how the Assembly worked due to the new members that were among us. We work as an ordered democratic body that passes proposals through a modified-consensus. Anyone can speak, but there is a list, we call it a stack. Our stack isn't first come first serve – socially marginalized voices are given priority. We use hand signals to express assent (wave your hand high), dissent (wave your hand low), points of process (make a triangle with your forefingers and thumbs), and blocks (make an X with your forearms). A point of process indicates a query or an objection, or, rarely, a valued interruption. A block is used to indicate that the Assembly is disobeying its principles. A block voices its principled objection and the Assembly votes again, a vote of 90%+1 can overturn a block.

The General Assembly heard many proposals, here are some that were approved: the trade union group will attend a meeting with the Teamsters; the arts and culture group are organizing a benefit concert to be held in two or three weeks; our outreach group is heading to marginalized communities; next Saturday is devoted to you, to us, the 99 percent. We also came to consensus on how to respond to the morning's police aggression.

At 4:30 we stood in solidarity with Troy Davis, an innocent man that the state of Georgia wants to murder today. We were joined by the International Action Center.

Afterward we heard a rousing speech from one of our released members, and then broke bread together. At seven we reconvened our General Assembly, which lasted until nine. Among other things, we designated talking spaces and quiet spaces, and we solidified our schedule. We're still here. We intend to stay until we see movements toward real change in our country and the world.

We speak as one. All of our decisions, from our choice to march on Wall Street to our decision to continue occupying Liberty Square in spite of police brutality, were decided through a consensus based process by the group, for the group.| Read More | OccupyWallSt.org | The American Revolution Begins Sept 17th

Occupy Wall Street issued a report near mid-day Tuesday stating they "hope police did not murder" the man having an asthma attack as a group of police officers attacked him and ignored medics saying he needed an ambulance.

"While mainstream news sources continue to report low numbers of the occupation, IBTimes states, "Reports now generally estimate the number of protesters at around 200, though it is worth noting a number of claims sent to the IBTimes have since disputed this, claiming the actual number is far higher.""

“We are going slow because we are going far!” | Reflections on a Revolution ROAR


"Only by desperately clinging on to a world that’s slowly slipping away between their greedy fat fingers can those in power sustain the illusion of control. It will soon be at end. After all, it won’t be us who bring the French banks to their knees. At this pace, the banks will do that job for us. Out of their own voluntary greed. Their own shortsighted profit motive. Their own reckless casino games."

From comments on this article: "Americans are paying down debt at a record breaking pace, saving cash at a record breaking place and it seems the Politicans and Banking Industry are placing up walls to prevent this from happening.

So are we really in a mess as they claim to be or are they creating problems to make it look like we are [...] ?"

Recall the fake "debt crisis" we made it through this summer, for instance...

Americans are pumping money into bank accounts at a blistering pace this year, sending deposits to record levels near $10 trillion on escalating fears that the U.S. economy is on the verge of another implosion.
