Oh my... so this occupy wall street
is exactly what many of us thought it was... a continuum of Wisconsin.

Listen folks... the GOP wants to bring the country back to at least 1880... the pushback is now fully in effect... they won´t.

And this is about bloody time.

4. From Tunisia and one child dying by his own hand to this. There is
a global consciousness and its awakening. By 12-21-12 this could become an awesome thing. I don't believe in the apocolypse. I do believe in a mass awakening by then.

11. UR serious?
There's a Wisconsin connection?

I'm floored. Wisconsin. Wow. Who would ever think there was a Wisconson connection?

13. Yes

Nope, not from this weeek.

It is actually part of a global movement... and in the US it started to take form in Madisson

23. A new consciousness. That is what we need. For those who
think and live only on a very material level, that seems terribly vague, but it isn't vague at all.

The 18th century period of Enlightenment was about developing a new consciousness. And now our consciousness is changing in a different direction but just as drastically.

34. Apocalypse is the Greek word for 'lifting the veil'.
So, if you do believe in a mass awakening, then Apocalypse is the right word for it.

5. I started watching the Wisconsin vs Nebraska game. I actually
started out thinking I was rooting for Nebraska but ended up pulling for Wisconsin. I think I developed a real liking for Wisconsin over the protest movement there. Go Badgers!

It's Ron Paul supporters and the Oath Keepers.

7. Somewhat so. The unions have to get more actively
involved with their own actions for it to be truly scary to the capitalist class.

I saw a snippet where a soldier supposedly wrote that they were creating a soldier's assembly in Iraq. Now THAT is where it would get REALLY serious. Soldier assemblies (soviets) were what brought down the Tsar and eventually Kerensky in '17.

21. I'd be happy if they just agreed to all get in a plane and come home!
Not likely to happen of course.

16. The sparks are lighting.
I was at Occupy Tampa Bay today. I'll be in Washington on Thursday. I plan on staying for at least a week.

We need a General Strike to go along with it.

Every teacher walk out of the class room and go on strike. Airline pilots refuse to fly. Air traffic controllers, we've got your back this time. Steelworkers walk. Hotel workers strike!

It's time. Even the cops who are getting screwed will join us eventually!

25. Yes, this must grow
It's a new shoot, prone to being trampled and certainly when the first bullets fly, we will see if our fellow Americans stay standing. I'm wondering is there some central clearing house where we can find out their needs and get them to them? Like when Cindy Sheehan was protesting in Crawford and the crowd swelled to 1000, I helped rent one of the porta potties - not glamorous but necessary. In other words, for those who can't go (or like me, can't go just yet - soon), is there a place where we can donate to our brothers and sisters in this revolution?

There is an address to send supplies, you can also donate food (Like pizza, etc) and order directly online to be delivered to Liberty Square.

This movement is so exciting! And about time!!!

32. Remember Florence Reece.
Which side are you on boys. Which side are you on.

I love that old song. I like her version best, but i also love that it has been done so many ways since.
