Oct. 15 Is the Big Day

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, your friends at Occupy Wall Street and the Indignados in Madrid would like for you to jump into a global day of action scheduled for this Saturday, Oct. 15.

In the video below, organizers stitch together protests from the Arab Spring to Chile to Wall Street to make the point that we’re all connected.

Here’s the video link again where several NYC residents complain about the protestors in the city:

Apparently, they have no idea why these protestors
are here . . . typical for uneducated people.

Oh, yes, Bloomberg worried about sanitation. As if he cared! And this explained one of the most puerile and gratuitous pieces of propaganda I have viewed as of late. No doubt this POS was setting the mood for Bloomberg’s next step.

“Living on Wall Street”

Since the protests started, the neighborhood of Wall Street has changed, and some residents are fed up.

For those planning on protesting I’d recommend you bring water, work gloves (not designer) and protective eye wear of some sort. This will make it much safer to pick up and throw back tear-gas canisters fired at you. A gas mask is best, albeit weighty. Not joking. - TheEnd
