Occupy Is Back


The photo comes from Montreal where protestors taunt the police - donuts on fishing poles.

Hardly even made the MSM. They pretty much ignored the whole thing. Imagine if the tea party had put these demons. on the coverage they'd have gotten. The Corp. media isn't going to give this movement any free media anymore. Instead, the police and the Intell. people are going to crush it ruthlessly. If the losers want to complain, let them at their own peril is how this is being viewed. Both so called parties have NOTHING but contempt for these people. ( the 99% - us - AKA "We The People")

I think you are right, they will do their best to squash it. They arrested people in Albany last night, wouldn't let them camp out overnight.

Remember when some Tea party types brough automatic weapons to one of their shindigs a few yrs. ago? Did the POLICE freak? No, the German Police never lifted a finger to try and stop Hitler's brownshirts from beating the crap out of leftists that were marching or demonstrating back in the Wiemar days ( 20's early 30's). We'll be seeing the same thing here in many places soon enough.

I remember those Tea Party guns very well. Considering the way these Occupy people have been treated, and how the treatment is escalating, where else is there to go but further down the path towards more surveillance, restrictions, and violence. Plus the right loves to help instigate conflict with their inside plants in leftwing groups.

"Plus the right loves to help instigate conflict with their inside plants in leftwing groups." Yes, they're called agents provocateurs. They're also the black gangs that smash windows and start fires at demonstrations. This was the Gov'ts fav. tactic back in the 60's. They need to use violence to discredit the protests.
