Now why do one percenters burn? A: because they’re made of wood? Q: Good! So how do you tell whether they are made of wood? A: Build a bridge out of them. Q: But can you not also buil bridges out of stone? A: Oh yeah. Q: Does wood sink in water? A: No. No! It floats. It floats! Throw them into the pond! Q: No no. What else floats in water? A: Bread?

dreamdancer 0 #128 November 16, 2011 QuoteQuoteI'm only slightly more curious as to what "round 2" could possibly entail. hhmmmmmm....buncha confused kids standing around doing nothing until it's time for dinner at mommy's? yes, I need round 2 defined as well. Is that when the protesters get very sick and have to be hospitalized on the public dime? QuoteProtest activity surrounding the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999, which was to be the launch of a new millennial round of trade negotiations, occurred on November 30, 1999 (nicknamed "N30" on similar lines to J18 and similar mobilizations), when the World Trade Organization (WTO) convened at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in Seattle, Washington, United States. The negotiations were quickly overshadowed by massive and controversial street protests outside the hotels and the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, in what became the second phase of the anti-globalization movement in the United States. The scale of the demonstrations—even the lowest estimates put the crowd at over 40,000—dwarfed any previous demonstration in the United States against a world meeting of any of the organizations generally associated with economic globalization (such as the WTO, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), or the World Bank). The events are sometimes referred to as the Battle of Seattle or the Battle in Seattle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Organization_Ministerial_Conference_of_1999_protest_activitystay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreamdancer 0 #139 November 16, 2011 QuoteThe crackdown by billionaire (it waddles and it quacks) Michael Bloomberg's forces early Tuesday morning has only given new determination to the organizers and activists. “Everyone as of last night was totally exhausted and drained,” Olivia Leirer of New York Communities for Change told me, “But ready to put their energy into the 17th and to make sure the energy on the 17th is not about the police crackdown, but about the message of the movement.” That message will be heard across New York's five boroughs, from morning til evening, on Thursday. “Storytelling and getting people's voices heard is the major theme that's running throughout everything that's happening tomorrow. There will be plenty of opportunities from sunup to sundown for people to come and tell their stories,” Leirer said. According to the OccupyWallSt.org website (which is not run by the Liberty Plaza occupiers but an affinity group), starting at 7:00 AM, protesters will gather in Liberty Plaza and gather to “exchange stories rather than stocks.” Details are few, but rumors are flying that some dramatic unauthorized street theater is planned. http://www.alternet.org/story/153094/undaunted_by_crackdown%2C_occupy_wall_street_and_new_york_activists_plan_massive_day_of_action/stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two days later, The New York Times printed a correction saying that the protest was mostly peaceful and no protesters were accused of throwing objects at delegates or the police, but the original error persisted in later accounts in the mainstream media. The Seattle City Council also dispelled these rumors with its own investigation findings: "The level of panic among police is evident from radio communication and from their inflated crowd estimates, which exceed the numbers shown on news videotapes. ARC investigators found the rumors of "Molotov cocktails" and sale of flammables from a supermarket had no basis in fact.
