This afternoon in New York City, I watched as Occupy Wall Street tried to turn New Yorks Washington Square into a launchpad for Cairos Tahrir Square here at home.
The General Assembly Occupy Wall Streets cross between the Politburo and a summer camp powwow held the Washington Square Rally to unify the protests message and attract new recruits. The main effort of the Occupiers has become spreading the movement into every sector of society, including the occupation every city and town. They are explicit about this, and they are serious.
At around 3:15 p.m., I nestled into the crowd of well over a thousand Occupiers as the General Assembly kicked off. The crowd practiced a human megaphone technique of staged repetition, which makes every speech three times as long as it should be. Even when Occupy organizers tried to keep it short, it reminded me of Castros famous 6 hour long addresses on the revolution and sugar cane harvests to captive (literally) crowds.
But it was worth braving the inanity and pungent odors wafting through the crowd to learn the techniques and plans of the Occupy Wall Street movement. I now know first-hand their signals, working groups, and plans to bring down capitalism.
Despite early criticism of their fragmented message and lack of clear goals, the protest organizers made it clear to the crowd that they have stepped up their game. They have received help from Unions, media consultants, and donations from abroad. Now that they have solidified their initial beachhead at Zuccotti Park (Liberty Plaza) and want the Occupy movement to metastasize across America.

update
Gee, now there is a shocker.
Everyone but true Americans getting into the gig.
"I will not feed the beast by accepting tainted money... I will refuse to accept food stamps, government housing, or any other handouts from the beast designed to enslave me."
If Stanley Greenberg was reportedly behind the protests in Israel and stated his intent as creating chaos and waiting for a ‘homegrown’ leftist leader to emerge (which by the way, didn’t happen), is he also involved in the planning of these Fascists..? The model and MO is the same. I would be surprised if he was not intimately involved.. and he’s a Clintoon lackey.
The weather forecast for the tri-state area (NY/NJ/Conn.) is for rain/showers on Tuesday possibly into Wednesday. That’ll send the little punks home.
Question
Why do you keep posting about these protests and never condemning them?
We have many updates on this pathetic hippy demo and yet you never post about other issues in your short time here like homosexuality, obama, out of control spending
The key is Union support, that puts Obama's greasy thumb print all over this. This chaos is brought to you by the regime in DC and it will stop when people beg Obama to shut down all dissent including the Tea Party.
I am an Arab Citizen from Egypt. I am coming from there, from the Arab Spring to the fall of Wall Street, from the Arab Spring from Liberation Square to Washington Square to the fall of Wall Street and market domination, and capitalist domination, many things separate us- national borders, homeland insecurities, armies, corporations, and police. They have their laws, they have their debts, and we have our Revolution.
