#OWS seranades police: "WTF?!"
I've been asking the same question over at my Etsy shop with this t-shirt:
Granted right now, it's just a design... to save money, I'm going to wait until I have an order to make the screens and print a copy... but then I'll have photos of the real deal!
Footage of arrests at #OWS that the NYPD didn't want you to see
Tear gassing in Kitchen:
Marine Sgt Thomas was there:

NYPD assaults man, punches woman in face, laughs while doing it
There is a court order that protesters be allowed back into the park. That means that the NYPD are illegally blockading the park.
They proceed to illegally assault a man, and punch a woman in the face.

The Top 1% DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE WORLD WORKS
"We have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the world works." - Alan Greenspan
Toppling the rule of the 1% should be pretty easy.
Why? Because they have no fucking clue about how the world actually works. All we have to do is stop playing their sociopathic game, and wait for them to punch themselves in their own testicles so hard that they puke.
For instance, dozens of photocopied McDonald's job applications were reportedly thrown from the Chicago Board of Trade building and onto Occupy Chicago protestors last week.
Last month, the Board of Trade had signs in their windows saying, “WE are the 1%” followed by a similar flurry of litter being dumped out their windows, peices of paper saying, “We are the 1% who are paying for this.”
Paying for what exactly? Paying for the protesters? How exactly is it that you’re doing that? You assume that all the protesters are mooching? I’ve been down to Occupy DC and Occupy Wall Street for extended periods of time, and trust me, the one thing that is at the heart of this movement is not mooching-- it’s an incredible ability to create something from nothing. The people occupying these parks are not keeping their kitchen full by swiping their EBT card, and the tarps and ground pads that they are using to build shelters are not subsidized by Section 8 housing.
They are recieving donations from those who understand the systemic inequity that our capitalist system creates and relies on to function. The occupiers are dumpster diving, scrapping, recycling, up cycling.
They are using the excesses of capitalism that would normally be tossed out, and taking abundance that would normally be wasted, disposed of to keep it out of the market and keep prices artificially high, and they are sharing that abundance with the community.
And really-- McDonald’s applications? This just shows how out of touch these assholes on the Chicago board of trade really are. There are people who have masters degrees, who can’t find jobs, and are now so desperately looking for work that they ALREADY HAVE applied to McDonald’s in the hopes that they can put that masters degree to use earning minimum wage flipping burgers.
This whole incident just makes it crystal clear that the assholes who run our economy have no fucking clue how things in the real world work.
And when they respond by with stupid shit like this, they’re doing the PR equivalent of punching themselves in the testicles. So keep it up guys.
Stay strong.
SOLIDARITY!

Walk Away From Student Debt: STUDENT DEBTORS UNION
FUCK THE BANKS-- DEFAULT EN MASSE TOGETHER -- TANK THE ECONOMY!
Excessive student debt is your problem right now. But it's not something you should have to deal with. So make it their problem again. Default. On purpose.

[MUSIC] - WAR CRY
Lyrics:
I don’t know what I’ve been told
you can win the war but you’ll lose your soul
you can drop a bomb that will burn a hole
through everything you love and know
Brothers face down in the soil
your machine it runs on oil
brothers face down in the mud
your machine it runs on blood
you pretend that it’s anything but wrong
(war cry)
All this death and all this strife
so you can life your American life
we cannot quench our lust for more
we lost our soul but we won the war
Uncle sam can lend a hand
brothers face down in the sand
I don’t know what I’ve been told
you can win the war, but you lose your soul
you pretend that it’s anything but wrong
(war cry)
OTHER STUFF:
* I'm headed back down to #OWS tonight, and I'll be there till very late Sunday night (actually 1:30am Sunday morning). I'm doing some volunteer work for the documentary I worked on previously. I really want to see the project through now that I've been working on it for so long. If you're at OWS at anytime during that period, say hello!
* Yet another big thank you to PE Nolan for letting me crash on her couch.
* THIS is extremely exciting: A contingent from #OWS is marching from NYC all the way to Washington DC, covering 20 miles a day for two weeks straight. Holy smokes this is awesome.
* The next 16 people to order t-shirts from my Etsy store will get a copy of my band's cd FOR FREE!
* My band, Theodore Treehouse, just launched a kickstarter project for our second album. We're trying to raise $8,000 to a) pay for recording b) pay for mastering c) pay for publishing and d) repair our van so we can e) go on a tour of all the Occupied cities in the USA. Which is getting to be a larger number every day. We're raising the money in $10 and $20 increments. So that's a lot of people.

#OWS is Creating a New World on the Ruins of the Old
Sorry about the little watermarks, I used my new p2 media setup, and I had to use a workaround to get it to work in Vegas.
As far as the dingy light quality, I just didn't pay close enough attention to the iris adjustment on the lens. Something I will deal with in the future.

When will the Revolution come? [Full Version]
When will the revolution come?
I don't know
but I bet it will be fun.
Didn't Jesus feed the poor?
I don't know
but he doesn't anymore (it's up to us now)
CHORUS:
My heart is filled with broken glass
and I know in my soul that this cannot last
kicking all the kids out in the street
but they land on their feet
and they're marching to the beat
of their own drum
Why are you willing to kill?
Son, I've got to kill
cuz I gotta pay my bills
When will we end all the wars?
The wars will end when we figure out
what the fuck we're fighting for
CHORUS
When will the empire fall?
I don't know, but when it does
I won't feel so small
When will the Revolution come?
I don't know, but I
bet it will be fun.
CHORUS
Scott Walker gets Mic Check'd
"We're all about the free expression of ideas..." - Gov. Scott Walker
Dear 1%
The people's voice will not be silenced.
The world of the Occupation, which values unity, diversity, and freedom of expression is slowly invading and destroying the old world that values hierarchy, ignorance, and silence. We are like white blood cells rushing to the site of an infection.
When public officials are mic checked, we're not interrupting a meeting, we are creating a new world in the same space as the old one. We are using your old world's space to host the creation of a new one. We are participating in a new, parallel form of government. Since we are many, and you are few, our actions don't seek to just disrupt business as usual, but to disband with it altogether.
Occupy's goal is not to fight your system, but to make it completely irrelevant.
Here's the thing about the 99%-- We are everywhere, and we don't need you. Expect us.

Stand Up! Chicago

Agent Provocateur from Air & Space museum Identified
Get to know his face.
He is an agent provocateur. His name is Mike Stack.
From OccupyWallSt.org:
Patrick Howley confessed in a piece in The American Spectator where he is an Assistant Editor. Michael Stack was identified from OpEdNews photos and video on YouTube. Stack is the very large individual who charged the Museum guard starting off what turned into mayhem. The one big question for identifications this morning is whether James O'Keefe was also present wearing a disguise, in violation of his parole conditions in New Jersey.
Howley and Stack have been involved for years with right wing organizations including Leadership Institute people, plus having ties to the Koch brothers. Their actions at Air&Space resulted in dozens of peaceful demonstrators getting hit with pepper spray -- resulting in eye pain, nausea, and headaches. Media coverage of the event was turned to imply that these people had acted unlawfully.
Was this Howley-Stack-Unknown start-a-riot scheme replicated in New York and Boston? Did peaceful demonstrators find themselves hit with police batons (a.k.a. night sticks) and pepper spray as a direct result of right wing conspiracies?
Occupy Boston Occupies Israeli Consulate
A flotilla with as many as a dozen activists – including Code Pink’s Kit Kittredge- was bound to Gaza bearing humanitarian aide on November 4th. The Israeli military boarded seized the ship, and took all of the activists into custody. Occupy Boston then marched on the Israeli Consulate in solidarity
