In a couple of weeks our 6 month anniversary is coming up. People still seem to be thinking Occupy is not doing anything. Why is this? Because we do not control the corporate media. We depend on citizen journalists for news. This works great for those of us in the know, well for the most part, but it does nothing for the rest of the audience we are trying to reach. 

I have been thinking a lot lately about how to reach more people. We need to use their tactics against them. One of the issues is we just cannot compete on the monetary scale that big business does. Taking out commercial ads during prime time TV is extremely expensive, as are full page ads in widely distributed publications. So how do we overcome this?

On almost a daily basis I hear the same thing again and again; “Isn't Occupy over?” The answer is pretty clear: NO!

All across the nation Occupy is still rolling along. In some places it is completely hidden away due to climate, or even due to unpopularity with local governments, and having to move meetings indoors. As spring begins we will see a re-awakening of the movement, and I believe the momentum will only build from there.

There are so many lies and misinformation being spread. The propaganda and programming affects us all on some level, and makes us complacent. This needs to end. The time for direct action is here. The problem is you need to pick and choose your battles wisely. Tearing down a fence to save people from getting tear gassed, shot, and beaten, then arrested is a amazingly powerful action. Taking down a fence because you are locked off city hall lawn seems futile as they will just put the fence back up, and we still do not have a "home".

I am going to have to keep this short as we are prepping up for round 2 today. On friday after GA, Myself, Crossxbones, Freedom, and Lucky to ok off for Oakland. Yesterday we were chased by OPD all over the city. I personally think the city should offer tours in this fashion as we saw a lot of the city in a short time, and it was very exciting, scary, and we all suffer from a little PTSD now...

We got tear gassed, and the flash grenades blown up all around us. Less lethal rounds were fired, and left huge dents in the corregated metal faced shields.

I have been occupying since October 1^st 2011. Today is January 4^th, and I sit here today feeling very uneasy. Just yesterday Global Revolution was arrested. They were arrested after being illegally evicted by the NYPD and the NYC housing authority.
