9. It's only a matter of time. Someone is going to do something stupid.
I pray it's not someone who is out protesting.
And I pray it's not a battle dressed, video game model police officer with a little more than pepper spray in their belts.

I pray.

14. Someone Should Ask The President - Not If He Supports The Occupy Movement But......
they should ask him if he supports the police going in and busting it up. I think that would really put him on the spot. The more that the police use these tactics to evict the movement from wherever they are - the more attention it brings to the movement and the more people become sympathetic to it. This can only make the Occupy movement stronger. We need to keep it non-violent. Let the violence come from the other side.

don't work, they won't hesitate to bring in the big guns....after a media blackout, of course, so the world doesn't see the "REAL" America. Thank G-d for the internet(s)!

18. If so by whom? Notionally it would be at the Federal level. Is the Obama administration behind it?
If not them, then whom? Coordination takes time and would tend to leak out from *somewhere*.

Those who just say "its obvious" or "the elites" are being disingenuous and not answering the question. Ocaams Razor needs to be addressed here.

For many reasons the Feds will keep distance and in spite of pretu obvious civil rights violations I don't expect justice to get involved.

And if you think governors can't coordinate...

30. Pressure from those who pay their real salaries
Edited on Tue Oct-25-11 11:20 PM by nadinbrzezinski
Only the tech has changed from 1888. But Carnegie owned city hall as much as economic elites own them today.

As I like to quip, in Mexico the corruption is at the street level, here it's at higher levels, but corruption nonetheless.

34. I am still having a hard time seeing a coordinated conspiracy here
Edited on Tue Oct-25-11 11:28 PM by ProgressiveProfessor
Admittedly, the large number of evictions etc in the last 24 hours does raise the hair on the back of my neck too, but I do not see how this would be better for anyone than piecemeal ones done over several days. This "approach" fuels conspiracy theories, which is the last thing a hidden coordinator would want.

Still looking for a coordinating group with a reason for a coordinated strike.

Still think that anything this big would have major OPSEC issues...

47. I can't see any advantage in pouring gas
But one thing that is true is that elites react like this every time. And I am using this in the strict political science definition of economic and political elites.

It is like clockwork. When they get a violent response in return it's easier to build that us v them. So far they are not. This is truly stoopid. You want this to go away...you ignore it, fully.

55. Last week the same thing happened. Coordinated attacks
on several cities at the same time. Since the NYPD and other police departments now work with Homeland Security and the CIA and the FBI, supposedly because of the great WOT, why would anyone doubt that this is coordinated at the Federal level? Why would that surprise anyone?

This is a national and global movement. What bigger threat is there to the Global Corporate Powers than a united, global movement of the people who are awakening from their slumber and no longer distracted by party politics or wars or the murder of African leaders or American citizens by their own government. All the old distractions have failed to stop this movement from spreading across the globe. Because the people have finally detected the root cause of almost all of the problems that are destroying countries and people all over the world?

It would be very easy for the fed to coordinate this in hours. They have spents billions connecting to a national response center.

39. That does not explain a multi-state coordinated strike
- Who coordinated it?
- Why coordinated and not piecemeal?
- If it was coordinated, they will be some leaks...if not now, in the near future.

I agree it looks suspicious...

43. Do you recall Kent State?
Certainly elites are "coordinated" -- it is only citizens who have been

disunited!!

Elites/corporations are united in every way possible -- and our elected officials

do their bidding!!


Leaks do come -- but generally too late for anyone to react to --


This is costing all of the states money -- whee is it coming from if not from higher

taxes on wealthy if they want the protection? That would be one point.


But certainly Establishment is under attack by OWS -- the whole structure of it!!

All of the pieces that keep the game going!!

If he can do that, coordinating states to assault and terrorize their citizens without leaks, can be done. Easily.

52. Actually that was easy
The team dd not know until the go order

The need to know chain was POTUS. Secdef, joint chief of staff, JSOC and unit commander. It was expanded to cabinet when underway and not everybody either.

Here every mayor involved, police chiefs f multiple agencies. AGs and governrs.

Yes, it s coordinated but the need to know group is far larger...why I expect leaks.

Then Governor to police chief, Governor to police chief, Governor to police chief, Governor to police chief ONLY...until they order the attacks. This could easily have been kept quiet too.

I doubt the Feds are, it is coordinated, but for example SDPD has chief, assistant Chief, Captain in charge of tactical Opps, shift commanders and section leaders.

38. Agree on the "coordination" --- Elites aren't taking this well, that's for sure -- !!!
OWS are out in the streets because they understand that our government is too

corrupt any longer to function properly! We all know this!!


It's also announcing that capitalism is finished -- as well as the two party duopoly!!

That's the basic wisdom --

There might be some slight adjustments, but this reality isn't going to change!
