Everyone at Occupy has a talent. Some may be artists, other have the gift to gab, while others can beat a drum and keep rhythm. What is my talent…Knowing how to communicate with the LAPD officers. Not a big deal, but did you know that LAPD officers are in trouble and a good portion of them want us to succeed? Some of you are saying: WTF? Actually they really want us to make the change we are striving for. And the bank run we created by telling people to take their money out of the bank and putting it in a credit union or small local community bank who do not invest your money in Wall Street, well guess what, they supported it too. Why? Many of them were victims of the banksters and had exploding mortgages. And now, many lost their homes or are behind in paying their mortgages. No big deal?

Seeking Witnesses: Sergio and Adams Arrests

Submitted by lizsavage on

This is an informal request to anyone who was at art walk last night. As soon as I found out about the arrests of Sergio and Adam I contacted legal and began the quest for information. This is what I personally feel comfortable releasing after discussing it with PR and other members of the media committee, and legal committee.

Adam: Not Updated on charges as time of article.

Sergio: Being charged with Lynching, being held on 50K bond, awating arraignment.

 

We would like those who witnessed this event to put a written statement down, and email them to occupylalegal@gmail.com

The legal committee, and the NLG are already looking into the arrests. please pass on this info!

DHS on buzzwords:

 

Homeland Security has made no secret that they are monitoring the Occupy Wall Street followers. Apparently the 18 mayors who participated in a conference call in early November were talking strategy and unconfirmed reports indicate that Homeland Security was coaching them on removing occupations which quickly followed.

Not a good sign:

 

“The European Central Bank said the continent’s banks parked a record $590.72 billion overnight. That means those banks are unwilling take the risk of lending to each other in the short term, opting to earn low interest rates from the ECB instead.”

Big Yawn:

The Republicans are doing their best to sugar-coat a bitter pill by the name of Mitt Romney. The first voting clearly showed they are resisting. The anyone-but-Romney bloc is more than substantial. Most Republicans are desperately seeking another candidate, but so far surges by other candidates have fizzled, the exception being Rick Santorum who may or may not have new momentum going forward.

Death of the American Dream?

Submitted by aram sassounian on

The Occupy movement has taken the nation as well as the world by storm.  Corrupt politicians, disintegration of society, and financial inequalities are some of the reasons why hundreds of thousands of Americans, the “99%” who come from all facets of life, have joined the cause in cities across the country.  “Occupiers” is the term used to describe the masses of people who have set up tents and taken residency in public spaces to show their dissatisfaction with the current
