the protesters are being completely misdirected by their socialist/communist leaders. The real center of financial control is the Federal Reserve and the city of London

To get at the root of the problem, one should be protesting, say, in London’s City where central banking originated. Or protesting in front of the Federal Reserve in Washington DC. These are real seats of power. But the shadowy and excessively powerful and wealthy individuals who have created the modern economic system are quite satisfied no doubt to have Wall Street take the blame. It suits their purposes.

It is too bad that the Occupy Wall Street movement seems to be obscuring the larger issues by apparently blaming the private (transactional) sector in entirety for what has occurred in the past few years

dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
that's what keeps this country free and democratic.

OCCUPY WALL STREET IS A TEA PARTY WITH BRAINS

More than two weeks after a band of young people began camping out in the shadow of the New York Stock Exchange, the movement to remake America’s inequitable financial system is growing

It’s been called the Woodstock of Wall Street, but that’s hardly an apt comparison. The gathering at Max Yasgur’s farm 42 years ago was built on a generation looking for peace, love, some drugs and acid rock. The kids today are looking for real, tangible change of the capitalist sort. They’re organized, lucid and motivated.

Actually, they have more in common with the tea-party movement than the hippie dream, with one key difference: They’re smart enough to recognize the nation’s problems aren’t simply about taxes and the deficit.

They want jobs. They want the generation in power to acknowledge them. They want political change. They want responsibility in a culture that abdicates it. They want a decent future of opportunity.

If that isn’t American, then what is?

Another key difference between today’s kids and their hippie forefathers: They’re willing to gut it out.

Not only is Occupy Wall Street showing no signs of dying out, but it’s getting stronger. On Sunday, a night of rain dampened the crowd at Zuccotti Park, but then the sun broke through, and they were back at it: challenging police, marching and drawing attention to their cause.

They’re wired and ready. They’re using YouTube and blogs. A newspaper, the Occupied Wall Street Journal, began publishing last week. They meet in the evenings in a “general assembly” to discuss tactics.

Moreover, there are signs the Left Coast wants to get into the action. On Sunday a group called Refund California announced a series of protests throughout Los Angeles. On Monday, a teach-in took place aimed at bringing awareness to how Wall Street has worsened California’s budget problems.

On Tuesday, Refund California is going to Orange County for a protest. On Wednesday, the group will target the home of a bank executive. And on Thursday a big bank in L.A. will be the next target. Protests in Chicago this weekend showed the message isn’t lost in flyover country.

Inspired by the "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations in New York, some 100 people gathered Sunday outside the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago to protest inequities in the nation's financial system.

This isn’t just some anarchist or lefty agitating. Many of the protesters are furious with the Obama administration’s kow-towing to Big Finance. They’re critical of Federal Reserve policies. Refund California is aligned with 1,000 faith-based groups.

Protesters are admonished for displaying the U.S. flag incorrectly. These protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful. And, despite what you hear, there’s been a lot of goodwill between the police and protesters. They’re sharing coffee and doughnuts in the morning.

Meanwhile, another group, Occupy Los Angeles, is organizing its own protests. This movement, though small compared with the New York effort, is slowly gathering steam. Back East, Occupy Boston is gaining momentum. Protests in the financial center of Dewey Square took place Monday.

10am: Good morning, and welcome to the Guardian's rolling coverage of the Occupy Wall Street demonstration and the related protests spreading across North America.

Yesterday saw a "zombie protest" at Zuccotti Park, as protesters donned the garb of the undead to highlight the plight of "corporate zombies" working in Wall Street.

Meanwhile, AP reported that:

In Chicago, demonstrators pounded drums in the city's financial district. Others pitched tents or waved protest signs at passing cars in Boston, St. Louis, Kansas City, Missouri, and Los Angeles.

Tomorrow a national student walkout is planned – in protest against "unforgivable student debt and soaring tuition rates", according to Occupy Wall Street, while in the evening in New York there will be a union backed march to the site of the protest.

The march is scheduled for 4.30pm and will be attended by members from Supported by United Federation of Teachers, 32BJ SEIU, 1199 SEIU, Workers United and Transport Workers, PSC-CUNY United NY, the Strong Economy for All Coalition, the Working Families Party, Vocal-NY, New York Communities for Change, Community Voices Heard and Alliance for Quality.

We'll have the latest developments from the Wall Street protest and elsewhere, but also today I will be trying to map out where the protests have spread in the US and Canada, where occupy demonstrations are said to be scheduled for Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver.

Here's this thing about Van Jones, the Tides Foundation et al again. Nobody else seems to know about this conspiracy. Please tell us about it! It seems like it would be important enough that the whole world should be informed.

This sounds like a bunch of horse **** to me, and youtube as a source of things

Occupy Wall Street is leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants.

that is what used to keep this country free

we are far from b n free any more

the govt has become the lord of the land (even tho it is aqgainst the constitution) dont believe it

try not paying your rental payment to the lord of the land (property tax)

try not paying for the "privilege" of hunting and fishing regularly (license fee)

try carrying a weapon to protect yourself in most states without a permit to do so

try brewing your own alcoholic beverages (above 12%) on a regular basis

try growing some hemp to make your own ropes n c what happens lol

to name a few

dont get me wrong i love my country its the countries govt i dont trust

So, being free to you means not having to pay for things and being able to do whatever you want with no rules and regulations?

They have never really told us what they mean by "freedom", but this certainly appears to be what they're getting at. They don't want the top echelon to have to pay any taxes at all! Guess we know who that leaves to take care of business.
