Occupy Elections, With a Simple Message

What's next? That's the question being asked as cities close down Occupy encampments and winter approaches. The answer is simple. Just as the Tea Party gained power, the Occupy Movement can. The Occupy movement has raised awareness of a great many of America's real issues and has organized supporters across the country. Next comes electoral power. Wall Street exerts its force through the money that buys elections and elected officials. But ultimately, the outcome of elections depends on people willing to take to the streets -- registering voters, knocking on doors, distributing information, speaking in local venues. The way to change the nation is to occupy elections.

Occupy victory in Illinois

Hooray for the Occupy movement and the general uprising against corporate greed! It's having an impact. Yesterday, enough Illinois lawmakers got the message loud and clear. They defeated a massive tax break for giant Chicago-based financial corporations: the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and its partner the Chicago Board of Trade, plus Sears Holding Corp.

Pepper-Spray Creator Decries Use of Chemical Agent on Peaceful Occupy Wall Street Protesters

We speak with Kamran Loghman, the expert who developed weapons-grade pepper-spray, who says he was shocked at how police have used the chemical agent on non-violent Occupy Wall Street protesters nationwide - including students at University of California, Davis, female protesters in New York City, and an 84-year old activist in Seattle.

With support among police quietly growing, can Occupy cross over the thin blue line

As Occupy camps from coast to coast face evictions - and in many cases have already been pushed out of parks and plazas like so much human trash - it's clear that the institutional response to the movement is escalating dangerously. Likewise, relations between police and activists seem to be deteriorating, as non-violent protesters continue to be arrested almost daily.

For Occupying Protesters, Deadlines and Decisions

"Cooperative" is the word usually used here to describe the relationship between the campers of Occupy Philadelphia and the city, a birthplace of the constitutional right to free speech and assembly. The arguments and arrests that have occurred at protests in New York and other cities have been largely absent. Mayor Michael A. Nutter even visited the encampment on its first night and pledged to work with the movement when possible. But the limits of that cooperation are about to be tested. Following the example of other cities that have taken steps to evict the Occupy camps, Mr. Nutter, citing health and safety concerns and an imminent construction project, said the protesters must pack up and leave the steps of City Hall by Sunday evening.

Occupy L.A: Mayor, LAPD won’t discuss tactics for removal

L.A. officials have not revealed details -- or tactics -- of their plan to push out the Occupy campers on the City Hall lawn beginning Monday morning. At a press conference Friday, neither Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa nor Police Chief Charlie Beck would say whether police were prepared to use tear gas or rubber bullets to clear protesters who refuse to leave, tactics officers in other cities have turned to while clearing Occupy encampments.

Occupy Wall Street Heckles Obama, Descends on GOP

Speaking on the financial crisis at a New Hampshire high school, Obama had planned to go after Republicans for their inaction on the economy's breakdown, and to outline his jobs bill. A man in the crowd however, interrupted the President's speech by employing the "People's Microphone," a method of human echoing that has become widespread in Occupy protests across the country. ""You must stop the assault on our First Amendment rights," the Occupy group chanted. "Your silence sends a message that police brutality is acceptable."

UC Davis chancellor sorry for pepper spray incident

The University of California chancellor has apologised to students for police use of pepper spray against campus protesters in a standoff captured by video and widely replayed on television and the internet. The pepper-spraying last week led to the suspensions of the campus police chief and two officers, and thrust the normally quiet, conservative and mostly apolitical UC Davis campus to the forefront of anti-Wall Street Occupy protests nationwide

Two Ways to Attack The Occupy Movement

Not to be outdone by colleagues in Oakland and New York, police at the University of California at Davis decided to remove a group of seated, passive Occupy Movement protesters by pepper spraying their faces on Friday afternoon. The entire incident is on video, naturally, and it triggered fury among fellow demonstrators and other members of the university, including faculty members who protested what they said were unnecessarily brutal physical actions against the protesting students

The Occupy movement now has its iconic image of martyrdom

Every nascent political movement needs martyrs. Even the sensible British labour movement, whose history is mostly peaceful and overwhelmingly parliamentary, has its memories of the Tolpuddle Martyrs and the Peterloo massacre. Revolutionary traditions fervently venerate their political saints: Irish republicanism has an especially rich pantheon from Pearse and Connolly to Bobby Sands. The Egyptian revolution, less than a year old, already has martyrs including the artist Ahmed Basiony who was shot dead by security forces on 28 January, and whose life and work have since been commemorated at the Venice Biennale.

In Occupy movement, more trouble or change

The movement began as a protest of major economic and political issues, but lately the most divisive issue has become the protests themselves. The Occupy Wall Street encampments that formed across the country to spotlight crimes committed on Wall Street have become rife with problems of their own. There are sanitation hazards and drug overdoses, even occasional deaths and sexual assaults.

Bloomberg’s War of Attrition Against Occupy Wall Street

Mayor Michael Bloomberg has shifted gears a few times during the lifespan of the Occupy Wall Street encampment, but of late he's settled into a wait-and-see attitude that relies on outside factors such as the weather to help him end the situation. The problem for the mayor is that these factors are not cooperating. But as The New York Times reports on Friday, disease might be what finally does in the protesters, who've developed a wheezing condition they're calling "Zuccotti lung."

OCCUPY: Then What

We just took a quantum leap forward by getting people organized and out on the streets. This is history in the making. This is an interruption from the regularly scheduled programming. But this is also disorienting and alarming so many people, who didn't see it coming, don't know what to make of it or don't know what it means. It's to be expected that the masses would have an initial knee-jerk reaction to the Occupation of Wall Street - or no reaction at all because they re busy watching "Dancing With the Stars"and can t kick the habit of feeding off the entertainment machine that has become America.

THE signs seemed to point toward the end of Occupy Wall Street. The day after the city stripped the protesters encamped in Lower Manhattan of their generators and fuel, the Northeast was hit with a bone-chilling snowstorm that blanketed their tents and tarps with sleet and ice, and left at least one protester hospitalized for hypothermia. Yet the encampment at Zuccotti Park endured.

How the protesters should respond to escalating violence

As they sort out what to do next, the Occupiers might take a page from the history of American labor, the only social movement that has ever made a real dent in the nation s extremes of wealth and poverty. For more than half a century, between the 1870s and the 1930s, labor organizers and strikers regularly faced levels of violence all but unimaginable to modern-day activists. They nonetheless managed to create a movement that changed the nation s economic institutions and reshaped ideas about wealth, inequality, and Wall Street power.

Many Occupy Wall Street protesters arrested in New York City reside in more luxurious homes than some of their rhetoric might suggest, a Daily Caller investigation has found. For each of the 984 Occupy Wall Street protesters arrested in New York City between September 18 and October 15, police collected and filed an information sheet recording the arrestee s name, age, sex, criminal charge, home address and - in most cases - race. The Daily Caller has obtained all of this information from a source in the New York City government.

Now Veterans Are Marching On Wall Street — They’re Mad About Scott Olsen, Benefit Cuts And 20% Unemployment

Veterans are coming together to beef up their presence and stature at Occupy Wall Street following last week's injury of one of their own. Scott Olsen's head wound, suffered in Oakland last week, has caused vets ranks to swell in the Occupy protests. In response, organizers have planned a march from Vietnam Veteran's plaza to Zuccotti park in New York today. At the park, veterans will voice their concerns over declining benefits, lingering postwar trauma, and unemployment rates of over 20 percent for 18 to 24-year-old vets.

Occupy Phoenix: The People protecting the People

Veterans took an oath to defend the constitution so we re going to ask a few questions. Are the men in this video doing what s right and what was taught to us as US citizens, in order to defend our country? America, what does she really stand for? The better question might be, why are we not seeing men like this broadcast on the major main stream news media in America? Why are we seeing so little attention being paid on major news channels on the Occupy movements the world over? Why do we need to receive the real news from our neighbors via YouTube and Twitter?

Will Occupy protesters come in from the cold

The idea that comfort and excess equals greed and corruption is embedded in the message of Occupy Wall Street, but images of shivering martyrs are counter to the underlying meaning behind economic justice, which is that every person has a right to live a fulfilling and pleasurable life.
