I was in Times Square Saturday as thousands of Occupy Wall Street protesters brought their anti-greed, pro-economic justice message to Manhattan’s brightly lit temple of consumerism and corporate culture. The protest in New York occurred along with hundreds of other coordinated actions around the country and the world. Large affiliated crowds marched in London, Frankfurt, and Rome, where rioters hijacked a peaceful anti-austerity protest. http://www.alternet.org/story/152752/occupy_wall_street_goes_global:_900_protests_around_the_world,_thousands_in_times_square

5 Conservative Economic Myths Occupy Wall St. Is Helping Bust | Occupy Wall Street | AlterNet

For decades the corporate media has force-fed “conventional wisdom” free-market economic nonsense to the American public. We have been told that it’s good to give more and more to the wealthy few, that it’s good to send jobs and money out of the country, and especially that the people who run the big corporations are better and more “efficient” at deciding what’s best for the rest of us. As those decades passed we watched as the wealthy few get wealthier and fewer, while the rest of us – the 99 percent – fall further and further behind.
On May 1, 50,000 people from all over the world will flock to Chicago, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and #OCCUPYCHICAGO for a month.

Why #OccupyWallStreet Matters | Alex Levinson

http://alexlevinson.wordpress.com/2011/10/05/why-occupywallstreet-matters/ Up until now, I haven’t been very involved or excited about the #OccupyWallStreet protests. While the protests are circling around economic reform, a new subject of debate, and ultimately protest, has surfaced. The big three media companies – Fox, NBC, & CNN have knowingly shelved the story as much as possible.
Some people will see anything they want to see in any particular movement or demonstration. Movements like Occupy Wall Street are like a Rorschach Inkblot Test — although it’s just ink on a piece of paper, you can see the future and the past in every blot. Psychologist and psychoanalyst Todd Essig sees what he wants to see in the movement.

A PHOTOJOURNALIST AND WAR PHOTOGRAPHER'S BLOG: Occupy Wall Street - Pictures of the Protests

I have had the opportunity to drop by the Occupy Wall Street Protests a couple of times this past week and have taken a few pictures which I am posting below. The main idea behind the movement is to try to restore democracy to the United States and to create a better balance of wealth (currently one percent of the population controls a vast amount of the worlds wealth and resources while ninety nine percent of the population lives on what remains.)
