OWS Declares Victory as Liberty Plaza Cleanup Is PostponedPosted on Oct 14, 2011
Occupy Wall Street: 1, Mayor Bloomberg: 0. After the New York City mayor’s sketchy sanitation plan for Zuccotti Park—or, if you will, Liberty Plaza—was postponed on Friday, OWS members were bullish, making it clear on their website that this development constituted a victory against thinly veiled bureaucratic attempts to jostle them from their encampment near the country’s financial command center. The OWS site quotes Oregonian activist Kira Moyer-Sims celebrating Friday’s news by repurposing a familiar bailout-themed quote: “This movement is gaining momentum and is too big to fail.” Meanwhile, Bloomberg News reported that 14 protesters were arrested Friday morning by New York police even without the larger-scale cleanup showdown. —KA

Report thisSomehow I doubt that OWS will hauled before congress. even thought the
congresscritters love the TV camera, the OWS members aren’t obnoxious,
unsightly or uneducated to the extent that they might not come off as more
capable than the members of the house.

rend it,
Monica’s dress and Whitewater.
Its a pity investigating Clinton cost $100 million but the 9/11 commission cost $16 million.

I liked the Iran-Contra channel when it was on, every day like clockwork.

Rift or Shift
Kelly ball
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Hey!...Wall St. you’re in trouble
With the truth we’ll resonate
And smash your flimsy paltry gates
The meditation of our hearts
Will rip your lies from part to part
We all did this long ago
At the walls of Jericho
We will circle all around
And blow our horns till you fall down
It is we who are this land
And you will meet the earth’s demand
We will know and understand
Realization of this command
A world of haves and have nots
A world of slaves and robots
Where our souls are sold and bought
Is a world that happens…not
We intend to burn your ears
And pierce your soul until you hear
No more psycho warring tyrants
And their bankster lying pirates
No more making dollar bills
From the numbers that you kill
You grey suits that slither by
Don’t you think you catch our eye
You look askance at ground or sky
Your furrowed brows betray your lies
Don’t you know the truth slips in
Illuminates your hidden sins
And your crimes against the people
From sanctimonious perverted steeples
We’ll track you down to where you live
And pound our drums till you give in
And in day… or by stealth
We’ll place - roadblocks - to your wealth
We shall never let it be
That you steal and you walk free
We will change your attitude
Or chomp you up like you were food
We would rather mend the rift
And have you join us in the shift
All the money that you make
You will not accumulate
The only law is circulate
Stars and planets all rotate
One for all and all for one
The only way that Heaven’s won
Report thisHOW YOU ARE IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN ALL THE GOLD THAT YOU’VE EXTORTED
