Occupation: World - Oct. 15


Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' is played to thousands in Madrid
by the Solfonica Orchestra live, making me cry.

"spirit fingers"


History erupts today. Twitter is the new News [as always, tweets in italics]. Do not count on complete accuracy; all is in motion and churn.

I'm Getting Arrested app for Android: lets you quickly notify your family, friends, and legal team (if you have one) of your situation with a single tap of your finger.

I went to OccupyCincinnati today as long as I could; illness forced me to go home. I do what I can from here for my beloved Internet, which is justifying the faith I have placed in it for 25 years. My heart is bursting with pride for the people of my neighborhood and my home. Finally, I live in the America (and world) of my 7-yr-old heart again. I wish I had someone to share this moment with tonight... but I am with all of you, so... it's ok ^_^

Today Is The Day

Perhaps these moments are what all those 2012 predictions were about: an apocalypse is a change-state; nothing says it cannot go positive as easy as negative.


Goosebumps all day long. It's been amazing, and it's just the beginning

Israelis launch world protest day with solidarity demo on Syrian border

60,000 plus protested in Chile today!

It's going on all over the world; in Canada, Spain, Melbourne, Barcelona, Rome, Brussels, Paris, Toronto, Oakland, London, Syntagma, Warsaw, Hong Kong, Madrid, Venezuela, Orlando, Regina, Berlin, New York, Bucharest, Dublin, Los Angeles, Finland, Reno, Zurich, Columbus, Santa Rosa, Cibeles Square, Santiago, Amsterdam, China, Tel Aviv...

Flags of #Palestine, #Mohawk Nation flying on Bay Street!

Julian Assange gets taken into custody in London for wearing mask to the demo; "detained" of course, not arrested... he is freed about 25 minutes later and says, "I can't wear masks and be anonymous but swiss bank accounts can be" while speaking to the OccupyLSX folks. He also says, "This movement is not about the destruction of law, but the construction of law." Unfortunately, he then gets stuck in #OccupyLSX kettle and needs to be back in Norfolk by 5pm to avoid breaching bail ...

Lech Wałęsa to visit at Occupy Wall Street
Former President of Poland, Nobel Peace Prize winner and pivotal in ending the Soviet era in Poland. This is tremendous news.

RT @OccupyWallStNYC: At NYU building at corner of BWay and Waverly streetfront window monitor is playing our livestream!

This lonely, brave woman Occupies the Tundra while this small crowd Occupies the Bering Sea... and at the other end of the world is OccupyAntarctica. In Rome an estimated 200,000 people clog the streets. This video from OccupyPerth has the Perth Clock Tower in it.

Madrid: Must be at least 15,000 here now- from a few hundred half an hour ago. Sudden explosion of noise and chanting

Photos from Times Square say it all, as does t : Occupy is not "a small, rag-tag bunch of hippies."

You can only push decent hard working people so far before they inevitably force change. Check your history books.

I don't have words to say how inspiring peaceful beautiful cooperative #OWS NYC. Maybe America IS going to be able to save itself.

A Spanish tweet... mentioning French politics. Truly global!
¿Dónde están los señores que decían que este movimiento no tenía comparación con "El gran Mayo francés"? ['Where are the gentlemen who said that this movement was not opposed to "The great French May"?']

The New Media

Social Media continues to prove itself, particularly Twitter; indicating just how corrupted and beholden to political interests Lamestream Media is. New Media is also about transparency: "we are the eyes of the world." Police, corporations, stores watch us constantly. We can watch back now, but soon we might be unable to:

"The Federal Reserve is planning on monitoring social networking sites because they want to see what the public's response will be to economic policy" Yeah, sure. Now you know.

Please see the Legal Section on the right sidebar here for information on protecting your Internet.

The Banksters

Citibank locks protesters (all Citibank customers) inside and starts arresting them for attempting to close thier bank accounts. Watch the video - a woman in a business suit, entirely calm, a customer, is manhandled and shoved into the locked bank with the rest of the protesters. Police are claiming the act was announced as a sit-in so that is why they decided to make arrests, but this video blows that excuse to smithereens. Let Citibank know this was shameless. BTW, Citigroup paid no taxes and received a $2.5trillion bailout.


And they weren't the only ones: Santa Cruz BofA refuses to close woman's account. Manager: "You cannot be a customer and a protester at the same time - corporate orders." And this was on Oct. 7th.



Seeing as how banks are refusing customers service, and will even lie to you, during the next week, open an account at a local, small bank or credit union then phone transfer your account balance, or get a bank check for your balance and get it right to your new account. Be sane; be careful with large amounts of cash or checks until they are safe in your new account.

I am praying tonight to all Goddesses/Gods and the thousands of men and women who have fought for freedom for hundreds of years. Please help us.

I'm not a big name; my blog is small. I haven't been really promoting it that much and I am a Tweet babbler. The media blackout has at least been breached; there are finer and more experienced writers out there. But every once in awhile, some kind soul tweets something like this:

This is an #epic face & twitter *^_^*!<3 @misosusanowa yfrog.com/odmnuxj

... and makes me cry even more. TY RazorBladeDoll.

6e * 65 * 74 * 77 * 6f * 72 * 6b


And this series of tweets from Hollywood Boulevard helped me wash off some of my bitterness from living under this Iron Empire for almost all my adult life:

Don't hate the conservatives who mock u & argue w u. Don't respond to their anger in kind. Love them. They can't help it.

They've been duped by the machine into fighting for the very interests intent upon using them up & spitting them out.

They can't understand that what we want is what they need & that in most cases we're doing it 4 them more than 4 ourselves.

We're trying 2 help & if they'll just let us, we can help get that paw fixed, but they don't know, they can't think straight.

Eventually, even the conservatives in middle class will come around. They'll begin to get it, & we can be friends again.

Fight & keep fighting, but do it w/ love in your heart. #OWS #OLA #O15 #Occupywallstreet #OccupyLa #Occupyeverywhere

... and made me cry and lose my place typing again. Thx Hollywood.
