Like a bullet leaving the barrel of a gun, the Occupy Wall Street phenomena has directed a great deal of energy at hitting its target. But as physics dictates, even a slight wind in an unfavorable direction can alter that bullet's trajectory causing it to miss its target entirely. In this case the wind is the corporate media and the bullet is the idea that our current corporate monetary policies have favored the ultra rich while leaving the other 99% to suffer.
Littlecrow is optimistic though. She believes in the possibility of protecting the movement by knowing what we stand for and sticking to it. She hopes protesters will stand strong in the face of corporate media illusions. “This movement is about people,” she says, “not leaders, politicians, television coverage or corporate donations.” Those who decide the direction that this movement will take are the people. When big corporate donors, politicians, and celebrities, speak out in support of the occupation, ask them the tough questions and expect honest answers. Ask them if they will sleep on the pavement with you tonight or of they are willing to be arrested during an act of civil disobedience.
This leaderless movement is about people not astro-turf branding. The lack of attention given to it by the corporate media is inconsequential and unimportant. Those of you holding your breath and waiting for some good network news coverage - you had better come up for some air. The Occupy Wall Street message is against the interests of corporate media and corporations do not willingly/knowingly act against their interest. Ever.
