They keep barricading themselves behind gated communities and no-access places like this so they post these types of warnings…a lot of good it is going to do them when it all comes crashing down.
No doubt it is growing by leaps and bounds to unimaginable levels

The world is engaged in mass protest today. Actions for today have been in the works for at least a month, however, the success of Occupy Wall Street spurred the organization of worldwide “occupy” actions. Just like the young people inspired by the uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Greece and Spain, etc, countries around the world are seeing Americans finally rise up in mass protest and they are showing solidarity.
OccupyWallSt.org explains why massive global demonstrations are called for today:
Over the last 30 years, the 1% has created a global economic system - neoliberalism – that attacks our human rights and destroys our environment. Neoliberalism is worldwide – it is the reason you no longer have a job, it is the reason you cannot afford healthcare, education, food, your mortgage.
Neoliberalism is your future stolen.
Neoliberalism is everywhere, gutting labor standards, living wages, social contracts, and environmental protections. It is “a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.” It is a system that ravages the global south and creates global financial crisis – crisis in Spain, in Greece, in the United States. It is a system built on greed and thrives on destabilizing shocks.
It allows the 1% to enrich themselves by impoverishing humanity.
OccupyWallSt.org concludes this has to stop and an era of democratic and economic justice must begin.
Actions are already going on in London as Occupy London Stock Exchange. There is a nice contingent of demonstrators in Melbourne and Perth in Australia.
Reuters reports a group came together in Taiwan “at the Taipei 101 skyscraper, home to the stock exchange, chanting ‘we are Taiwan’s 99 percent,’ saying economic growth had only benefited companies while middle-class salaries barely covered soaring housing, education and healthcare costs.” In the Philippines, protesters marched on the US Embassy and carried banners that said, “Down with US imperialism,” and “Philippines not for sale.” There also was an action on Friday in Italy, where students stormed Goldman Sachs in the financial district of Milan and ended up putting “red graffiti” on the walls that said, “Give us money.”*
