I guess the corporate masters have decided on an all-out assault on OWS

[Hugabear]

Coincidence that we're seeing police attacking OWS protesters in cities nationwide? Protests that have been building up for weeks, and all of a sudden we have multiple cities conducting anti-protestor police action.

Coincidence? I think not. Seems that the corporate masters, the wealthy 1%, have decided to put their collective foot down, to crush OWS under the heel of oppression.

Time to FIGHT back. Time for unions nationwide to say ENOUGH. Together, the unions along with the working 1% can SHUT DOWN THE COUNTRY until we get justice for EVERYONE.

3. As the late Mario Savio put it:

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all." UC-Berkeley, 1964

4. If it is Democratic authorities doing this, you assume too much to think the unions will back OWS

I hope they will, but... :(

Deeply unhappy and disturbed about tonight's events.

5. I think the unions can recognize the Democrats that work for us, and those who do not.

In fact, we've already seen examples of unions standing up to corporate Democrats who seem to have more in common with the corporate 1% than the 99% they are supposed to represent.

6. I dunno... good grief, Gov. Patrick obviously went along

:(

7. We have been told for several years that Homeland Security

Has a great deal of influence over the local police departments.

And this means at some point the boot will collectively come down.

Maybe the boot coming down is what we are seeing now?
