The Drunk In Liberty Square

Nov 21st, 2011

As shaky as this video is, it would seem to be everything that conservative spin-doctors have been looking to hype in their ongoing war on the Occupy Movement. It has a drunk, screaming obscenities at opponents and acting in a threatening manner in Liberty Square. At the very beginning of the clip, he smashes a bottle of booze on the pavement. Haven't seen it? The reason is simple; he is an opponent of the Occupation.

Well, It Would Appear...

Nov 15th, 2011

... that "Shit is fucked up and bullshit" after all.

The siege of peaceful protesters in Liberty Square by highly militarized officers in riot gear with battlefield sound weapons is underway. It began at roughly 1am EDT.

It is a sad day for America.

You Still Don't Get It?

Oct 30th, 2011
by F. Grey Parker with a hat tip to Tonye for his metaphorical wisdom

A man who is very ill goes to the doctor. He explains, in great detail, all of the symptoms he is experiencing. His situation is dire. He can feel it. So many things are wrong that his list of ailments is almost overwhelming.

The doctor pretends to listen, but is largely disinterested. Finally, in exasperation, he asks the patient, "well, what the Hell am I supposed to do about it?"

Welcome to the Occupy Movement.

An Infiltrator At Occupy Wall Street?

Oct 22nd, 2011
by F. Grey Parker

You may have heard about the "young man" who climbed the statue in Zuccotti Park early this morning and issued a series of delusional demands. Many believe this to be the work of an infiltrator. I certainly think so. Read further and judge for yourself.

Support The Occupation

Oct 13th, 2011

The city of New York is threatening to close down the Occupy Wall Street movement. Starting at 7am tomorrow, Mayor Bloomberg plans to evict the protest from Zucotti Park at the behest of the space's corporate owners. Pick up the phone and call the numbers below the post to push back.

International Business Times reports:

"Occupy Wall Street's nearly four week camp out in Zuccotti Park might come to an end Friday morning. Mayor Bloomberg visited OWS Wednesday evening in lower Manhattan to notify protestors that New York City has given them until 7 a.m. Friday to clear out of the park for a routine cleaning.

The cleaning would take place for four hours and then demonstrators would be allowed to return to the area "for lawful use consistent with [city] regulations."

"People will have to remove all their belongings and leave the park... After it's cleaned, they'll be able to come back. But they won't be able to bring back the gear, the sleeping bags, that sort of thing will not be able to be brought back into the park," NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly told the Post.

The evacuation and clean-up comes after NYPD's Kelly received a letter and numerous complaints from Brookfield Office Properties, the management company that now owns and controls the public Zuccotti Park. Mayor Bloomberg's long-time girlfriend, Diana Taylor is, coincidentially, on the Brookfield Office Properites' board of directors."
