                The business model that was set up post-Civil War has allowed the economic power of America to become increasingly concentrated. As a big company grew, it would do so by consuming other smaller competitors in the market, this growth began to give them a disproportionate share of the market’s holdings. This concentration of economic might has put the scepter of wealth in the hands of an elite 1% of the American populous.

A man walked into a town. He was followed by petrified boards with the flags of their land draped over them. The man with his procession step-by-step drew the occasional glance of the people of the town. Some were questioning, some comical, and the sight even made some cry. The final step found the man in front of the house that held the most power. The flag of the land flying high above the house, a flag that dwarfed all others in the land. The man arranged the draped boards behind him and bowed his head.

328 people spent their first night camped out at Los Angeles City Hall last night. At the General Assembly on Saturday evening there was a long discussion, that got quite heated at times, about whether to camp out on the grass or to move to the sidewalk as requested, under threat of arrest by the police. In the end almost everyone moved to the sidewalk last night but they are back in the City Hall park today.

Find the media, make then your friends.  They are essentially for the most part.  Don't let them behave or be treated like the enforces.  They have no ultimate interest in protecting this dripping with ooze and frull stench decaying system.  Help them help you, all of us!!!!!

I have over the last 4 years witnessed the power of a terrorist government with no ends or limits to its power. They hide behind the notion of protecting our children but in no way shape or form do they do anything to benefit the children or society. They are terrorist, drug dealers, and the worst organized crime syndicate ever. They create future clients, rapist, murderers, child abusers, and will go to what ever extreme to silence the truth. Help me fight for freedom, for hope, for the future, for our children. Report@dcfs-apa.org

I'm on my way to pick up my traveling bard of a son

who had jumped into a rental van full of nouveau hippies

that had thoughtfully mused to prefer being called

pirates and gypsies from "New" Texas

each with guitar and ukulele

and voices like the angels that attend

to Tom Waits Woodie Guthrie and Sam Cooke

Downtown has MANY parking rules and regulations, so if possible, leave your vehicle at home and go Metro or plan to carpool with your fellow occupiers. Here's some parking/metro info to make your trek to the occupation as smooth (and inexpensive) as possible. If anyone has additional info, please let me know via the comments and I'll add it here. 

STREET CLOSURES:

On Goal and Demands:

PLEASE UNDERSTAND: This movement is a NATIONAL movement that is an extension of what has been transpiring across the globe. It is NOT and will NOT be the responsibility of any one small group to list specific "Demands and/or goals". If you wanted to boil it down to one main goal, it would be to break the Oligarchy that has form in Washington D.C and Wall Street and to STOP them from lying, cheating and stealing our country from us. The way we will break that bond is by standing in unity in cities and towns across the country, indeed across the world and demanding a STOP to it.
