Hello campers! Yesterday morning, bright and early, I went down to the OWS "encampment" again to see what the monkeys looked like before they'd put on their party hats.

I did manage to find a few gems, and have now confirmed beyond any doubt that the one thing almost every OccupyWallStreet gang-member has in common is an inordinate love for McDonalds. What I find particularly puzzling about this - putting aside the fact that McDonalds is exactly the sort of "evil" multinational corporation they love to rant and rave about - is that there are plenty of local, hole-in-the-wall, non-corporate - heck, organic and vegan even! - places around that end of Manhattan that they could be frequenting, and yet, here they all are, swilling McDonalds coffee, noshing on "unhealthy" fast-food (sorry McD's but that's how these types all mischaracterize your fine fare) and just in general giving lots and lots of money to one of the self-same corporations they claim to hate and point to as the source of all contagion in their ideological Eden.

So here's the first update (albeit the 3d video clip I took), of McD's. Now, I have to point out that I felt obliged to carry the vid-cam as if it were turned off - so as not to spook the wildlife (gotta be careful when you're on safari) - so the camera-work is not AAA+; however, I did get a wonderful shot of Mr. Troops (pic down below) and two fellow occupancy-monkeys yucking it up in what seems to have become defacto party HQ in McDonalds (I wonder if they got permanent reservations on that table?):




Just to refresh everyone's memory, here's Mr. Troops (more to come about this little S&M pansy):




He's over there on the left-hand side of the video, trying to hide in the shadows of his less drama-queen companions.

you’re doing a great job and thank you from us down south

So, here's what else (for now) I have to say about Mr. Troops (the poseur with the words "TROOPS OF TOMORROW" painted on his expensive, new, leather jacket):

I want to juxtapose two images for you, Mr. Troops and Saul Alinsky:

   

The first pic is, obviously, our favorite little poseur, Mr. Troops. The second is - in case you don't recognize him (not a lot of people do) - Saul Alinsky, godfather to the sort of movement that Mr. Troops fantasizes he is in the vanguard of. Alinsky was a real subversive who caused a lot of damage to the US.

Can anyone spot the cardinal difference between the two? That's correct; the real subversive blends in, is inconspicuous, draws no attention to himself - that is how a real subversive works, and that is how a real subversive causes damage. A real subversive does not prance around in public like a silly S&M pansy wearing a studded leather jacket and a scarf around his face. Saul Alinsky was a real subversive, and dangerous thereby; Mr. Troops is a parody, a farce, and will never be dangerous to anything or anyone other than, perhaps, himself.

Troops of Tomorrow: May the Farce be with You!

Now, first I'd like to thank you all for being so patient with me and my little Cook's Tour version of the OccupyWallStreet farce. Second, I'd like to share the other two vid-clips that I took on Saturday morning. These are both of the "encampment" itself, early in the morning before the protest-monkeys put their party hats on. I'm not going to add too much additional commentary here, as I hope that the voice-over commentary in the videos themselves will suffice.


Here's part 1:




and here's part 2:




Enjoy and, as Mr. Troops would say, "Let the Farce be With You!"
