I have not followed this closely, so a few days ago I took some time to read at the Occupy Wall Street site. I also looked over their demands which are on another site. I was surprised to see that they've demanded an end to the Fed but I haven't seen any End The Fed signs in the youtubes. Also, there seems to be a power struggle on behalf of Marxists to insist that the constitutionalist/Ron Paul types be shut up. A big problem I see is that most of the RP supporters are working and not free to camp out at any occupation. The end the Fed demand did cite the constitution (article one, sec 8 - though they conspicuously left out article one, sec 10!) but there appear to be some OWS participants who are interested in anything but the constitution.

Thoughts?

I have no idea who Laura Flanders is. Link?

Albuquerque protesters 'Occupy Wall Street'

http://www.kob.com/article/stories/s2309634.shtml

About two hundred protesters marched on Central Avenue near UNM this afternoon to demonstrate against corporate greed.

It wasn't Wall Street, and Michael Moore and Susan Sarandon didn't show up, but the event tied in and harmonized with the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations that have filled New York City the past two weeks.

Albuquerque police blocked traffic while marchers chanted "Whose street - our street,” as they abandoned sidewalks and walked Central Avenue alongside traffic.

Police tell Spokane protesters to remove tents

Occupy Spokane, the 2-day-old action in solidarity with the 2-week-old Occupy Wall Street protest against economic injustice, was visited Friday by police enforcing a city ordinance.

About a dozen protesters who have occupied the grassy median at the intersection of Riverside Avenue and Monroe Street in downtown Spokane were told to remove tents and other "permanent" elements of the protest that violate the city's transient shelter ordinance, said Capt. Frank Scalise, patrol-division commander of the Spokane Police Department.

Unlike the Wall Street protest, in which participants complained of injuries from police excesses, there was little confrontation between Spokane police and protesters.

"The atmosphere is compliant and collegial," Scalise said.

"Nobody is being confrontational."

Dave Bilsland, a Spokane homeless activist and organizer of Occupy Spokane, said the tents in which some participants slept for two nights were part of the protest against disproportionate corporate control of the nation's politics and wealth.

"These are symbolic of where everybody is going to end up if things don't change," Bilsland said.

I brought her up because her site, GRIT TV, is covering/streaming the demonstrations. It's sort of like having Sean Hannity (from the OTHER anti constitutional side) doing it and it gave me pause.

Declaration of the Occupation of New York City:

As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.

They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.

They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.

They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.

They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices.

They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.

They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.

They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.

They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.

They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.

They have sold our privacy as a commodity.

They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.

They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.

They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.

They have donated large sums of money to politicians supposed to be regulating them.

They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.

They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantive profit.

They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.

They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.

They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.

They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.

They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.

They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.*

To the people of the world,

We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.

Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.

To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.

Or, summed up by a chant today: "We're young, we're poor, we're not gonna take it any more!"

500 arrested at protest on NYC's Brooklyn Bridge

MSM:

(CBS/AP) NEW YORK -New York City police say about 500 protesters have been arrested after they swarmed the Brooklyn Bridge and shut down a lane of traffic for several hours.
Police say some demonstrators spilled onto the roadway Saturday night after being told to stay on the pedestrian pathway. They face disorderly conduct and other charges. The lane has since reopened.

Occupy Wall Street demonstrators are railing against corporate greed, global warming and social inequality, among other grievances.

The group has been camped near the Financial District for two weeks and clashed with police on earlier occasions.

Earlier on Saturday, two other marches went over the bridge without problems. One was from Brooklyn to Manhattan by a group opposed to genetically modified food. Another in the opposite direction marched against poverty.
