The Occupy movement’s one-year-birthday gathering at Wall Street yesterday featured 180 arrests. Compare that with the Chicago teachers marching recently for days and days–and very few arrests.

This is why Occupy needs to go on strike. All the occupiers, everywhere: STRIKE! Look at it this way: when people ask Hey where’ve you been the last year we barely heard a thing about you, you simply say: “We’re on strike.”

Whaaa? This gives you the room to lay out Occupy’s demands. Thus, moving into a new tactic of attack.

If 99% plus 47% is still not more than 1%? We’re not trying hard enough.

“No wonder the movement’s shrunk: they keep arresting ’em!”

A friend responding to the rally.

“But for OCCUPY Wall Street,” said Professor Todd Gitlin on KCRW today, “We wouldn’t be hearing all this hubbub about the 47%, this talk again about income inequality and wealth in America.”

[Good Timing, Occupy!]

“Hidden camera video is the only place I get my news now,” said one political wag praising the media involved in that latest Mitt flap about the 47%. “Well, that and long distance photos, of course.”
