(154,021 posts)That will last at least a week. It lasts only one day, the media will ignore it.
Two million people in NYC before the second gulf war were ignored as well, they shut down the city. But it really never happened.
It is not that things are not happening,they are, in spades...once again, CNN, manbc the abc nightly news, your local news...they have no interest in covering it.
A labor action, my local paper is owned by one of the most powerful hotel owners...it's not in his interest to have a unionized work force. Why that hunger strike never, ever happen. It was covered well, ironically, by the local fox station, which did yeoman's work with occupy as well...
It's out there, you just have to really work to find it.
And occupy did not fail, and it did not disapear. It was such a threat DHS coordinated the police suppression nation wide. No, it's no longer tinfoil, the evidence is out there.
Nor is it gone, not at all...it's not mostly, on the streets.
The NYT will never cover this.
