New York City police plan to evict the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters -- if only temporarily.
The protesters, who have camped out in a city park for more than three weeks, will be forced out Friday so that city crews can help clean the area.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg visited Zucotti Park in lower Manhattan on Wednesday evening and made the cleaning announcement, citing sanitation concerns from the park’s owner, MyFoxNY.com reports.
Brookfield Properties, the owner of the park, had outlined its concerns in a letter to the city’s police commissioner, Ray Kelly.
The company told police that it had received “hundreds of phone calls and emails” from locals complaining about "lewdness, groping, drinking and drug use, the lack of safe access to and usage of the Park, ongoing noise at all hours, unsanitary conditions and offensive odors,” NBC New York reports.
Brookfield also raised concerns about shipments of “materials” to the park, which they say are unscreened.
The park will be cleaned in stages, beginning Friday morning. Protesters will be allowed to return to their designated areas after cleaning is complete, NBC New York reports.
Brookfield normally cleans and inspects the condition of the park every night, including a power washing, landscaping and trash removal. But the company hasn't been able to do so since the protestors have sent up a tent city there as part of their demonstrations.

Need to get LOTs of pictures showing their filth...
Let them wallow in their own filth.
When they get enough of it they will move.
Now they get Maid service?
Gosh, I just read a post yesterday where the author stated that the demonstrators are organized and have things so well under control that the area sounds like it must be cleaner than it is normally.
WHAT? These fine citizens don’t clean up after themselves?????
Nancy Pelosi's cup of tea!
bttt
Hell no. That’s a job for government union workers.
lol
The DUmmys over in the DUmp are all in a tizzy about this. There is an effort on the part of the protesters to have cleaning supplies, brooms, dustpans and powerwashers donated so that they can cleanup the park themselves.
Of course one would have thought “in-house” park clean up would have come up in a meeting say 3 and a half weeks ago but hey, more important matters are before the movement.
Anyway, if such a move to clean up after themselves were to materialize, can you imagine the city unions allowing non-union pick up of trash and untrained operators of powerwashers within the city limits? What happens when jonny protester gets a hernia picking up a trash bag?
Lots O DUFU material out there on this move to clean up the park.
Maid Service and an allowance.
Down with the bankers!
Why are the taxpayers footing the bill for the city to clean a “privately owned park?”
Heh
Because the "city" allowed a "privately owned park" to be used for the demonstrations and wouldn't remove the fleabaggers...
Harry Reid would have no problem at all smelling this bunch from a distance.
“My staff tells me not to say this, but I’m going to say it anyway,” said Reid in his remarks. “In the summer because of the heat and high humidity, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol. It may be descriptive but it’s true.”—Senator Harry Reid

They are well organized. One thing commies are good at is organizing. They just don't worry too much about things like cleanliness and the environment. They always leave a big mess behind after their events ("anti-war" rallies, pro-illegal alien rallies, WTO, etc).
In a local city here, there was a mews story about a woman who “wanted” to start a local “Occupy” chapter, but she just didn’t have the gumption, and on her Facebook page, she was begging somebody else to start it up and organize it. “Oh please, oh please.”
Love her go-get-’em attitude. Hahaha!
...and because, IIRC, Bloomy’s gal-pal is on the board of Brookfield.

There is something about this whole charade that makes me think this whole deal is a kind of political performance art. This “park” is privately owned. So, the mayor says the “performers” can stay there as long as they want? The City of New York, at taxpayer expense is cleaning up, then they move back in?
My conclusion is, nothing about this is as it seems. The average joe, the 53% who hates the sneaky, Machiavellian ways of the nanny-statists, the guy who works every day in a real productive job in the private sector, is being suckered and manipulated into thinking the way the political class wants us to think. This is the purpose of performance art.
This is my take on the charade in New York.
Blame Bloomberg
Will the city provide snacks while they clean their room for them?
Che would have demanded snacks.

I was drinking a cup of coffee in the park yesterday morning at 9am.The reports of filth are greatly exagerrated by the MEDIA.With the help of the media this group can quickly STAGE whatever chaos you want.The people in the park looked like a bunch of ‘ lost poor souls’.When they want to cause ‘spontaneous trouble’they call in the trouble-makers from the Unions and other plentiful left-wing groups in NYC.

Strange, when the lame street liberal snooze media have gone to great extents to glorify the protests. Quite a contrast to how they treat the Tea Party.
But the company hasn’t been able to do so since the protestors have sent up a tent city there as part of their demonstrations....Your invite came back to bite you, did it? You allowed this crap, you clean it up.
Even the ‘conservative’ media buys in on the sham.I am sure there were business people who visited Wall Street yesterday and wondered where is tha ‘trouble’.
Put the fire hoses on them. This is a completely manufactured circus which deserves no media attention.
Ahh...well.. I wonder who the city manager is connected to? Doesn’t matter I guess...in the course of things..
Bloomberg’s girlfriend sits on the board of Brookfield Properties, which owns Zucotti Park
the Obama administration has just approved a $168.9 million loan guarantee for the Granite Reliable wind farm project owned by Brookfield Asset Management (BAM).
Among its many holdings BAM owns Brookfield Renewable Power, which owns the Granite Reliable and it also owns Brookfield Office Properties, whose holdings include the now famous Zuccotti Park.
The Department of Energy finalized the loan guarantee less than a week after Occupy Wall Street protesters took to Zuccotti Park, and with the Obama administration’s Tuesday endorsement of the protests, rumors are starting to circulate that this could be the reason Brookfield is allowing protesters to remain on its property.
The Granite Reliable Power Project under construction in Coos Bay, New Hampshire is the state’s largest wind farm and the New Hampshire Union Leader questions why Brookfield would need federal subsidies at all, particularly following the bankruptcy of Solyndra.
Mayor Bloomberg’s announcement Monday that protesters could remain as long as they liked, also raised a few eyebrows and it turns out he has a personal connection to Brookfield as well. The mayor’s longtime domestic partner Diana Taylor is on the Board of Directors at Brookfield Properties along with John E. Zuccotti himself.
Cmon don’t you know they are just like the Tea party. Only different. LOL!
If that idiot mayor lets them back in he is either: stupider than we thought, or complicit in helping this garbage fester (or maybe both).
Change Bloomberg with Guiliani and Obama with Bush and it would be Ftzmas time.
Boomberg is such a poor excuse for a mayor. Now the sanitation men have to go in clean up after these slobs. Let’s hope the demonstrators park their rear ends at Gracie Mansion and torment one of the biggest billionaires,BLOOMBERG.
There is the story behind this charade, it sticks to high heaven (and I don’t mean the vermin squatting in the park). The idiot mayor is allowing this to fester. I watched NYPD herd them into that park in a very direct manner on Sep 17, it is no “accident” that they are there now. They know that as time goes on and more anarchist radicals join them (see Sat October 15, “global revolution”) street-level violence is going to break out. What follows? We will have to watch and see.
You almost sound like you are supportive of this movement.
They're calling it "Day[s] Of Rage" after Bill Ayers's Weather Underground's "Days Of Rage" in 1969. A collection of communist-anarchist groups is behind it.
The following is from their website:
http://usdayofrage.org/

"Gleeful about the raging riots that held England captive this week, the tweet has gone out to activists and ‘disaffected’ youth to “occupy wall street Sept 17” today. Social Networks FaceBook and Twitter are abuzz with plans for coming anarchy on U.S. soil.
The Days of Rage will continue beyond the ‘occupation’ of Wall Street with activists being told “bring your tent”.

The original "Day(s) of Rage"
Days of Rage riots (1969)
The Days of Rage riots in Chicago took place over a 4-day period beginning October 8, 1969, after members of the Weathermen, a militant offshoot of the Students for a Democratic Society, converged on the city to confront police in the streets in response to the trial of the group of anti-Vietnam War activists known as the "Chicago Eight".

Exclusive: Bill Ayers Talks About Election Night in Grant Park
From NBC Chicago, Jan 21, 2009:
Bill Ayers was "overflowing with happiness, relief, love" when he and his wife went to Grant Park with tens of thousands of Chicagoans to celebrate the election of President Barack Obama.
Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, spoke exclusively with NBC Chicago's Dick Johnson about why they joined the Election Night celebration in the park, where 40 years before they helped stage the Days of Rage riots.
The couple said they got last-minute tickets from a friend to be in Grant Park that night.
"I couldn't stop crying a couple of times. I found the exact spot where I was beaten 40 years ago," Ayers said. "But I've never been in a crowd that large that wasn't edged with either anger or drunkenness or gluttony, and it was really an extraordinary feeling."

Anarcho-syndicalism
A common Anarcho-Syndicalist flag.
In the early 20th century, anarcho-syndicalism arose as a distinct school of thought within anarchism.[78] With greater focus on the labour movement than previous forms of anarchism, syndicalism posits radical trade unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the state with a new society, democratically self-managed by the workers.
Anarcho-syndicalists seek to abolish the wage system and private ownership of the means of production, which they believe lead to class divisions. Important principles include workers' solidarity, direct action (such as general strikes and workplace recuperations), and workers' self-management. This is compatible with other branches of anarchism, and anarcho-syndicalists often subscribe to anarchist communist or collectivist anarchist economic systems.[79] Its advocates propose labour organization as a means to create the foundations of a non-hierarchical anarchist society within the current system and bring about social revolution.

Bill Ayers: "I considered myself partly an anarchist then and I consider myself partly an anarchist now. I mean, I'm as much an anarchist as I am a Marxist which is to say I find a lot of the ideas in anarchism appealing."
They sound as filthy as those Rainbow people who gather every summer.
Excellent summary. No one should kid themselves, this has all been planned from on high, they know that they can inspire “legions” of useful idiots to do the dirty work on the street. This is what “EVIL” looks like.
One thing commies are great at is organizing, and also manipulating to death huge numbers of ‘useful idiots’. ie, those naive, ignorant, gullible, stupid types among us who can easily be led into advancing the communist cause without ever having a clue as to the true purpose of the rally/movement they’re taking part in. Then again, even if they did know, most are too friggin dumb for it to make a difference anyway.
