    Occupy DNC is occupying the waaahmbulance: ‘HELP, nothing to eat in Marshall Park’
    Posted at 10:26 am on September 2, 2012 by Twitchy Staff




    Resist! But totally whine about food and stuff.


    Nickarama@Nickarama1

    Occupy has occupied Marshall Park and is already out of food and water. @sistertoldjah@TwitchyTeam @michellemalkin twitter.com/StopMotionsolo…

    That picture was mostly likely taken with a smart phone. Yet, they must send out an all hands on deck emergency call for food at Marshall Park in Charlotte. Buy their own? Oh, the humanity! As Twitchy reported, this isn’t the first instance of absurd Occupying Whining. Yesterday, they sent out emergency requests for food after a bus broke down en route. Can they last an hour while the bus is repaired? The horror!

    The whining continues today.

    Update: This is a win, right here.

    Chris McCoy@C_W_McCoy

    Sounds like an emergency in Marshall park. Unfortunately for Occupy, most of us in NC believe that you should hunt your own food #OccupyCLT

    OWS celebrates Sandy aftermath: ‘No subways. No electricity. No chains.’

    No subways. No electricity. No chains. #capitalism #sandy #nyc

    30 Oct 12
    At least 35 people are dead. Family homes have been destroyed and condemned. Hospitals and neighborhoods have been evacuated. And millions remain stranded without power in the brutal wake of Hurricane Sandy. The crisis is far from over.

    So how does the official Twitter account of Occupy Wall Street respond to the devastation? Despicably, natch.

    Occupiers are celebrating the glory of a city “unchained” from the capitalist oppression of transportation and electricity.

    Occupy Wall Street@OccupyWallSt

    That community you're experiencing, in the face of crisis? It's always there. Think about what it is that usually obscures it. #sandy #nyc

    Occupy Wall Street@OccupyWallSt

    Go outside. Meet your neighbors. Talk. Share a meal. When capitalism retreats, our communities flourish. #sandy #nyc

    Revolting, but pretty much expected from a movement with so little self-awareness that it rails against capitalism and celebrates the loss of electricity via Twitter.

    Occupy Wall Street@OccupyWallSt

    No subways. No electricity. No chains. #capitalism #sandy #nyc

    Occupy Wall Street buys $14.7 million of Americans' debt
    The Rolling Jubilee project has so far spent $400,000 to buy the debt, in the process relieving 2,693 people of the money they owed for medical services Occupy thinks should be free.

    22 hr ago | By Elizabeth Dilts of Reuters


    n Occupy Wall Street spin-off group has bought up $14.7 million worth of Americans' personal medical debt and forgiven it over the last year as part of its Rolling Jubilee project, the group announced Monday.

    The Rolling Jubilee project, organized by Occupy Wall Street's Strike Debt group, has so far spent $400,000 to buy the debt, in the process relieving 2,693 people of the money they owed for medical services Occupy thinks should be free.

    "Think of it as a bailout of the 99 percent by the 99 percent," a post on the Rolling Jubilee project's website said.

    The project, which launched on November 15, 2012, raises money through small, individual contributions, and then uses that money to purchase distressed and defaulted debt from the lenders, who in this case are hospitals or medical groups.

    The lenders are willing to sell it very cheaply, often for less than five cents on the dollar, because they think there is little chance they will be able to collect.

    Andrew Ross, a member of Occupy's Strike Debt group and a professor at New York University, said the group was able to buy debt at a 50-to-1 ratio.

    The group receives almost no information about the people whose debt they buy - only an address, Ross said. The group mails a letter to each address explaining the project and that the person's debt has been "canceled," Ross said.

    The group does not work directly with debtors.

    "One person wrote back and said that he had gone through periods of being homeless and he was trying to get back on his feet," Ross said, calling the elimination of debt a huge relief.

    Ross said the group has $200,000 left to spend, and they hope to target student loan debt next.

    They're back! Occupy plans springtime 'wave of action'

    Springtime is here. The birds are singing, temperatures are on the rise and the Occupy movement is emerging from winter hibernation, calling for a worldwide “wave of action” Friday to re-launch anti-capitalism protests.

    Occupiers have been instructed by the movement’s official Twitter feed to congregate at Zuccotti Plaza in New York City Friday morning. The plan is to march to nearby Federal Plaza.

    Zuccotti was the stronghold of Occupy Wall Street the last two years.

    An associated Facebook page announced a protest against the “regressive 1% agenda of Governor Andrew Cuomo and for a truly progressive one that includes the basic needs and human and environmental rights of the people.”

    Similar calls for Friday protests were issued by Occupy Philly and Occupy DC.

    The waveofaction.org website announces a “Worldwide #WaveOfAction” that begins Friday and runs through July 4 with participation from local Occupy groups and the Anonymous organization.

    Activist David Swanson, an early Occupy organizer, wrote on his blog the Springtime Occupy re-emergence “should have crowds of DiFi (Dianne Feinstein) masks (the one person Sen. Dianne Feinstein objects to spying on).”

    Swanson said a “new Occupy should hold joint events in the United States and Russia,”

    The movement, he said, should demand “peace from both governments, nuclear disarmament, and investment of those nuclear dollars in defense against real threats, like climate change, disease, and guns.”

    FBI Refuses to Uncover Plot to Assassinate Occupy Leaders

    During the waning days of the Occupy movement, a FOIA request was submitted by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund in 2013, in regards to the Houston chapter of the movement. In return, they received a heavily redacted document from the FBI that carried some rather disturbing information.

    Unbeknown to the peaceful agitators of the Occupy movement, there was a plot to assassinate their leadership, and the FBI knew all about it.

    The most damning segment of the document reads:

    An identified [DELETED] as of October planned to engage in sniper attacks against protestors (sic) in Houston, Texas if deemed necessary. An identified [DELETED] had received intelligence that indicated the protesters in New York and Seattle planned similar protests in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, Texas. [DELETED] planned to gather intelligence against the leaders of the protest groups and obtain photographs, then formulate a plan to kill the leadership via suppressed sniper rifles. (Note: protests continued throughout the weekend with approximately 6000 persons in NYC. ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protests have spread to about half of all states in the US, over a dozen European and Asian cities, including protests in Cleveland (10/6-8/11) at Willard Park which was initially attended by hundreds of protesters.

    As of now, we have no idea who this person is that was preparing to engage in these attacks, or if it even was person. For all we know it could have been a group of people or a state-sanctioned organization. We don’t know if this is information the FBI received on a suspect, or if this was a communication between themselves and one of their own assets.

    The language of the document certainly sounds pretty creepy. Terms like “if deemed necessary” and “received intelligence” have led many to believe that this unknown person was officially sanctioned to act by the government. And if that isn’t true, if the FBI had just received a tip that a lone gunman was about to start killing peaceful protesters, what measures did they take to prevent that from happening? By all appearances, they didn’t do anything. So, best-case scenario, the government knew something could happen, and decided to ignore it; and worst-case scenario, they were playing an active role in this plot.

    And there’s a good chance that we’ll never know the exact truth of the matter. Some activists are still trying to get the FBI to turn over the unredacted documents, but the FBI claims that they are exempt from the Freedom of Information Act:

    The bureau claimed several exemptions from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), primarily that the withheld information was gathered through cooperation with local law enforcement agencies investigating matters of national security surrounding the Occupy movement. The FBI argued that releasing data gathered on protesters constituted: interference with ongoing law enforcement proceedings, interference with personal privacy of law enforcement personnel, interference with law enforcement proceedings involving confidential informants and disclosure of enforcement techniques not generally known to the public–all exemptions under FOIA.

    Shapiro pointed out that the FBI had denied any engagement with law enforcementover the Occupy protests, and that no major laws were broken by protesters, putting into question the existence of ongoing law enforcement proceedings. Nonetheless, a judge upheld the bureau’s claims last week, allowing the names of the plotters and any further information about the plot to remain unreleased.

    All this for a bunch of idealistic college kids. I will admit, there’s a chance that we’re misinterpreting these documents, but they sure make the FBI look insane. Like I said before, it appears that they were either plotting to assassinating Occupy leaders, or they were going to look the other way while somebody else did the deed.

    Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if the government cooks up these plans for every movement that threatens the establishment. They just keep them in place as a last resort, while they use the combined efforts of the media, informants, and provocateurs to quietly neuter these movements before they become a problem. We may have just gotten lucky by stumbling onto one of their premature plans.

    Doesn't that describe their foreign policy strategy : "strategic patience" ?
