YOU CAN’T MUZZLE FREE SPEECH WITH BATONS OR TAKE AWAY THE RIGHT OF CITIZENS TO ASSEMBLE PEACEFULLY WITH PEPPER SPRAY

An idea can’t be drowned by violence and repression. This is just one more attempt to crackdown and silence a movement that is terribly inconvenient to the wealthy 1%.


Arguably the issue here is whether the majority of Americans will be allowed to reject their disadvantage and the continuation of the power and wealth to continue as the only acceptable status quo.

It is also clear that the police throughout America is committed to control the situation…to tell the demonstrators when, where and how they can demonstrate; in other words, to continue the oppression where the demonstrations don’t become a disruption to the wealth redistribution.

Winter is upon us and the demonstrations will wane as the crowds are unable to fight against the elements but watch out in the spring and summer because what we have seen so far is but the tip of the iceberg. There will be people from all walks of life, all ages, all races and all religions joining in because in one way or another each and every one of us has been hurt by this redistribution of wealth and forced to wage a class war not of our choosing…it is the circumstances that have dictated this discontent, it is the establishment (Wall Street, Big Banks and even government) that has created this inequality.

New York Police in Riot Gear Clear ‘Occupy’ Protesters From Zuccotti Park

New York City police in riot gear swept into a Lower Manhattan park early today to remove Occupy Wall Street demonstrators who had been camping there for more than eight weeks to protest income inequality.

Zuccotti Park will remain off-limits to protesters who want to camp there in tents and sleeping bags. Demonstrators lost a bid to return to the park with those items when state Supreme Court Judge Michael Stallman lifted a temporary restraining order late this afternoon, ruling that the city had the power to rid the plaza of the protesters’ gear.

Hundreds had gathered around metal barricades surrounding the park near the World Trade Center site for hours after the police ouster, awaiting the outcome of the court hearing.

Curiously, after months of protests, at least I haven't seen a video or a photo where a protestor is being violent against a law enforcement officer; it just the other way around...all you see is violence and police brutality against peaceful demonstrators who have their hands covering their heads to avoid the baton blows or people knocked down and struggling to get up to get away from the bodily harm that the police was inflicting.

Also, we see how in a cold autumn evening the demonstrators are denied shelter...it is as if they want to make it as uncomfortable as they possibly can with complete disregard to their comfort, safety and risking hypothermia...take away their tents even though these tents are private property and cost money...that too constitutes illegal seizure of property.

Let’s face it folks, politicians, big banks, Wall Street and the wealthy just don’t want the majority of Americans to be in charge…in other words: DEMOCRACY is but an illusion in America.What it has come down to is that the wealthy and the corporate world can buy free speech because there were two extremist Supreme Court Justices who thought that corporations are people and can outspend all of us put together with the Citizens United decition; but a protest, a demonstration from the majority of Americans can't be tolerated.

It can be said that the 1% of those in power want to dictate the terms but they don't understand that it is the Wall Street Occupiers that dictate the terms...it is WE THE PEOPLE, not CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE.

MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS: ARE YOU ANGRY YET?

You will be in due time; and this is my prediction: It will happen sooner or later that someone or perhaps many will be killed; will loose their lives trying to exercise their right to free speech and peaceful assembly and what is now a hefty movement will become a crushing revolution.
