Occupy Wall Street: Complete Coverage In The News And On The Internet!
There are those who attempt in every way possible to dismiss those who have become participants in the “Occupy Wall Street Movement”, and while their efforts may seem for the moment to lack the cohesive focus of a well-massaged political campaign, (because in fact that is the truth);that focus and definition will come as the multiple issues eating the core of this nation and the people who are in the streets are brought, by them, into ever more defined demands and definition of those issues of greatest priority. One should be encouraged by the fact that the participants have made it clear already that they have no intention of permitting either party or politicos to co-opt, manipulate or opportunistically benefit from the movement from even one sound bite movement. That is a sign of sincerity; it is a sign of their integrity and it is my greatest hope that is the sign of “The Great Awakening” long overdue. (Ed.)

PolitiFact | Checking claims from Occupy Wall Street Occupy Wall Street, the mass of people protesting in New York's financial district, is not a typical political group.

The Rumpus.net “The paper’s tone is revolutionary: ‘What is occurring on Wall Street right now is remarkable. For over two weeks, in the great cathedral of capitalism, the dispossessed have liberated territory from the financial overlords and their police army.’ Its editors, Jed Brandt and Michael Levitin, told the actual Wall Street Journal that they started the paper in response to what they saw as insufficient coverage of the protests in the mainstream press. The publication contains no original reporting, concerning itself mainly with explaining the Occupy Wall Street movement to skeptics and rallying others to the cause.”  Protesters now have a newspaper, the Occupied Wall Street Journal. Environmentalists are joining the protest. Check Out The "Occupy Wall Street Journal" The Official Newspaper Of The ProtestersThere Is A Message That Must Be Delivered To The Couch Potatoes Of America. For weeks now, people mobilized by all types of progressive organizations have banded together for the Occupy Wall Street protests. Bolstered and nourished by food, beverage, and bedding donations from outside sympathizers, the increasingly large group of people clogging the world's most infamous economic center only seems to be growing angrier and more sure of their main point: that the richest 1 percent of America has for too long let the other 99 percent desiccate. But while the so-called 99 Percenters take it to the streets, a new study from the Pew Research Institute says most Americans are not on their side. Despite the fact that all signs suggest rich people in the United States are getting vastly wealthier than everyone else, a majority still doesn't believe there's an economic divide between "haves" and "have-nots." "The percentage of Americans who see society as divided between haves and have-nots declined shortly after Barack Obama took office, but has rebounded since," says the Pew study. "In April 2009, just 35% said the nation was divided economically, down from 44% in October 2008. The number saying the nation is economically divided increased to 42% a year later and has changed little since then (45% currently)." By contrast, 52 percent of Americans say they disagree with the idea that America can be divided between haves and have-nots. Most telling is that when asked to choose in what group they belong, 48 percent of people said they were a have, while only 34 percent said they were a have-not. (In actuality, of course, the richest 20 percent of the people in the United States control nearly 85 percent of the country's wealth.) Besides the rich getting richer, the poor are also getting much poorer. Fifteen percent of Americans now collect food stamps, and white Americans now have 20 times the wealth that black Americans do. If these aren't signs that this nation clearly has haves and have-nots, we shudder to think what it will take to make that point clear: bread lines? People starving in the streets? Or perhaps deadly riots of our own similar to London's? AND |
