the occupy movement has won a significant victory in forcing that repulsive troglodyte bloomberg to mount a military assault on their encampment in manhattan. it seemed that the movement may have been losing focus and its hold on the dialogue in and around our politics, but now they have the advantage once again thanks to that short-sighted little mayoral troll. the optics are fantastic, so go back to zuccotti park, and every other location that has been forbidden across the country, in order to force the police to stage crackdown after crackdown. media blackouts, assault weapons, mass arrests are all tools of anti-democratic governments, so the occupy movement should force the various municipalities into very nasty public relations fuck-ups as often as they can. show the government for what it is over and over and eventually even some of rock-headed idiots across america will get the point. this is not the america they think it is. in reality it's china. it's egypt. it's libya. it's palestine. show that. make the bad guys show their colors. take it back in oakland, denver and everywhere else. this truly is a sort of general strike against a broken and evil system. every attack on the protests is an attack on the constitution; it is up to the occupy movement to draft as many americans as they possibly can in a vigorous defense of those fundamental principles.
in addition, there should be some serious hardball going on behind the scenes. the big-time media and entertainment folks who support the movement should be called upon to provide the big-time money that will be required to post the bonds for potentially thousands of protesters as well as top-flight legal action against the cities, their governments, and the mayors and police brass personally wherever possible in order to make anti-democratic and violent action against the protesters exceptionally painful for every guilty party. olbermann, letterman, moore and the rest should help to build an unstoppable war chest to open the fight on another front.
