3. I just had an epiphany posting to KoKo's post in GD about this.

Occupy is trying to get the government to do something about Wall Street, where in fact they can't. The fact that the peasants stormed the castle, where all the gold is kept made them outraged. I used a Game of Thrones reference. The kings and lords can do pretty much want they want to to the 99% because there is no democracy in corporate America just like in Westeros, while they struggle for power and riches among themselves. We just get in the way demanding our Constitutional rights.

The only use they have for the Constitution is to use it make it easier for their criminal dealings to look legitimate. Otherwise they ignore it. Cecily McMillan is a scapegoat and an example to anyone else who dare Occupy again. We ran up against Wall Street and Global interests who have enough bought and paid for liege lords, like politicians, law enforcement and judges at their beck and call anytime the peasants get restless.

It's time to change strategy and make some direct but covert moves. Bring down the corporations one by one, but make sure it's legal and can't be sidelined with arrests, broken bones and lawsuits. You guys need to start brainstorming. It can be done. I don't know how, but now that the real enemy is visible figure out how to to it and as far as corporations to bring down, my choice is ATT. Break it back down into baby bells again. It could be a start.

Also, remember the jack booted thugs were following orders. Go after the criminals giving the orders.
