Occupy

Tactical Briefing #25: Showdown in Chicago


This is the latest poster put out by Adbusters.  If you haven't ever heard of Adbusters, you most certainly are NOT part of the Occupy Wall Street movement since they go hand in hand.  I don't think there is a soul out there that doesn't know what Occupy Wall Street is in one way or another.  What you are about to read is the text that followed the above poster, calling all Occupiers for their latest "event" I guess you could say.

"Hey you redeemers, rebels and radicals out there,

Against the backdrop of a global uprising that is simmering in dozens of countries and thousands of cities and towns, the G8 and NATO will hold a rare simultaneous summit in Chicago this May. The world’s military and political elites, heads of state, 7,500 officials from 80 nations, and more than 2,500 journalists will be there.

And so will we.

On May 1, 50,000 people from all over the world will flock to Chicago, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and #OCCUPYCHICAGO for a month. With a bit of luck, we’ll pull off the biggest multinational occupation of a summit meeting the world has ever seen.

And this time around we’re not going to put up with the kind of police repression that happened during the Democratic National Convention protests in Chicago, 1968 … nor will we abide by any phony restrictions the City of Chicago may want to impose on our first amendment rights. We’ll go there with our heads held high and assemble for a month-long people’s summit … we’ll march and chant and sing and shout and exercise our right to tell our elected representatives what we want … the constitution will be our guide.

And when the G8 and NATO meet behind closed doors on May 19, we’ll be ready with our demands: a Robin Hood Tax … a ban on high frequency ‘flash’ trading … a binding climate change accord … a three strikes and you’re out law for corporate criminals … an all out initiative for a nuclear-free Middle East … whatever we decide in our general assemblies and in our global internet brainstorm – we the people will set the agenda for the next few years and demand our leaders carry it out.
And if they don’t listen … if they ignore us and put our demands on the back burner like they’ve done so many times before … then, with Gandhian ferocity, we’ll flashmob the streets, shut down stock exchanges, campuses, corporate headquarters and cities across the globe … we’ll make the price of doing business as usual too much to bear.

Jammers, pack your tents, muster up your courage and prepare for a big bang in Chicago this Spring. If we don’t stand up now and fight now for a different kind of future we may not have much of a future … so let’s live without dead time for a month in May and see what happens …

for the wild,
Culture Jammers HQ"


Here is a short video of what happened during the summer of 1968 that is referred to above.

Was just, kinda, maybe thinking, well, never mind....I'm sure it's nothing right?  They are ALL peaceful protesters right?  DO YOUR RESEARCH and you tell me.

Do not underestimate Occupy Wall Street.  They will be back.  And do not underestimate people in general when something like this sets fire.  Let me leave you with one question and one thought.  What do you think it takes for something like the riots during the summer of 1968 to take place?  Research this yourself, don't be the complacent one.  And a thought...be the good, be the common sense and be the one that we all need to stand with so we don't sit idly by and watch the show.  Yes, you can call me crazy now.  Well, but before you do that at least have a reason to call me crazy, do your research!!

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21
