@OccupyWallSt OCCUPY WALL STREET (the theory) Really simple: Occupy Wall Street is an open source protest. This type of protest has been very effective over the last year in toppling regimes in north Africa. It's proving relatively successful in the US too. Open source protest is an organizational technique. A promise. That's the gist of it. What's the real goal of this protest? My guess is that the Adbuster team that launched this open source protest felt that an October financial meltdown was possible, hence the September start-date. What's the big picture?
#OCCUPYWALLSTREET, ADBUSTERS Alright you 90,000 redeemers, rebels and radicals out there, A worldwide shift in revolutionary tactics is underway right now that bodes well for the future. The spirit of this fresh tactic, a fusion of Tahrir with the acampadas of Spain, is captured in this quote: "The antiglobalization movement was the first step on the road. The beauty of this new formula, and what makes this novel tactic exciting, is its pragmatic simplicity: we talk to each other in various physical gatherings and virtual people's assemblies … we zero in on what our one demand will be, a demand that awakens the imagination and, if achieved, would propel us toward the radical democracy of the future … and then we go out and seize a square of singular symbolic significance and put our asses on the line to make it happen. The time has come to deploy this emerging stratagem against the greatest corrupter of our democracy: Wall Street, the financial Gomorrah of America. for the wild,Culture Jammers HQ

But on the ground at the epicentre of the Occupy Wall Street demonstration, a closer look at some of the impassioned protesters is starting to suggest that while many of them have genuine grievances, all may not be completely as advertised. Financial inequality? Tight knit: Among the group are now a growing number of privileged college students No money? Bored?
Global Consciousness Project -- consciousness, group consciousness, mind Five Ways Occupy Wall Street Has Succeeded | Truthout #OccupyWallStreet protests are now well into their second week, and they are increasingly capturing the public spotlight. This is because, whatever limitations their occupation has, the protesters have done many things right. I will admit that I was skeptical about the #OccupyWallStreet effort when it was getting started. My main concerns were the limited number of participants and the lack of coalition building. One of the things that was most exciting about the protests in Madison—and the global justice protests of old such as Seattle and A16—was that they brought together a wide range of constituencies, suggesting what a broad, inclusive progressive movement might look like. You had student activists and unaffiliated anarchists, sure; but you also had major institutional constituencies including the labor movement, environmentalists, faith-based organizations, and community groups. With #OccupyWallStreet, the protest did not draw in any of the major institutional players on the left.
POPULI-SCOOP, Scoop Populaire, infos et commentaires de citoyens-journalistes A la quatrième journée de contestation, du mardi, l’occupation de la place Zuccotti Park qui a été rebaptisée Liberty Plaza pour la circonstance de cette révolte inédite, continue. Située à une centaine de mètres de Wall-Street désormais qui est considérée comme le fief des escrocs du capitalisme, le lieu est prévu à être occupé pendant longtemps. Non loin de là, près de Broadway et Maiden Lane, des bases arrière non négligeables ont été constatées. De 300 à 500 jeunes se sont rassemblés en des réunions de masse pour discuter la manière de planifier leurs actions. Ils ont été qualifiés comme des « anti-cupidité », faute de leur accorder d’être révolutionnaires, comme la jeunesse des pays arabes, le socialisme on le voit avec Barack Obama quand il cite les plus démunis et la couverture sanitaire. A l’instar des autres manifestations dans le monde, l’appareil répressif a précédé les manifestants. Page : OCCUPER WALL-STREET sur FACEBOOK 25 septembre
Etats-Unis : « Indignés » et syndicats se rassemblent Aujourd’hui, dans les rues de News York, syndicats, employés en lutte et le rassemblement des 99 % vont défiler ensemble, dans les rues de New York. Les Etats-Unis pourraient bien réussir quelque chose d’intéressant : unir deux mouvements qui n’ont pas réussis, à part en Grèce, à se rassembler réellement. Les 99 %, qui campent à Wall Street depuis bientôt 3 semaines, ont décidé d’apporter tout leur soutien aux entreprises en lutte et de s’associer aux syndicats américains. Une manifestation commune est d’ailleurs prévue ce mercredi dans le quartier des affaires de New York. Autre signe que le mouvement prend de l’ampleur, des campements apparaissent dans des dizaines de villes des Etats-Unis (voir Occupy Together). Enfin le collectif de Hackers Anonymous annonce une attaque informatique sur Wall Street jeudi. Aujourd’hui, dans les rues de News York, syndicats, employés en lutte et le rassemblement des 99 % vont défiler ensemble, dans les rues de New York.
POPULI-SCOOP, Scoop Populaire, infos et commentaires de citoyens-journalistes Le soulèvement des peuples arabes n’avait point été dans le besoin de fond. Certains américains croient que les rares personnes se disant de gauche s’attaquent à leur système de privilèges qui n’arrête pas de descendre aux enfers. Ils pensent que les émeutes contagieuses, dans leur patrie, et qui ont imposé l’implosion de régimes politiques corrompus par la fièvre machiavélique de s’éterniser au pouvoir, ont levé des fonds. Les peuples des pays qui se sont crus dans la splendeur démocratique, se sont trouvés sous le nébuleux modèle où l’argent permet tout. Les dirigeants arabes ont toujours cultivé une allergie très poussée à la démocratie, sous le fallacieux prétexte que le concept (démocratie) étant étranger. Le vent de révolte qui a déjà après quelques mois réussi à balayer, de ce monde arabe, certains décideurs quasiment cramponnés à leurs pouvoirs, n’a pas temporisé longtemps pour se propager dans les pays occidentaux. #OCCUPYWallStreet
