Occupy Wall Street Plans Global Disruption on May 1

Connect the dots...

Occupy Wall Street Plans Global Disruption of Status Quo on May Day.

Occupy Wall Street demonstrators, whose anti-greed message spread worldwide during an eight-week encampment in Lower Manhattan last year, plan marches across the globe tomorrow calling attention to what they say are abuses of power and wealth.

Organizers say they hope the coordinated events will mark a spring resurgence of the movement after a quiet winter. Calls for a general strike with no work, no school, no banking and no shopping have sprung up on websites in Toronto, Barcelona, London, Kuala Lumpur and Sydney, among hundreds of cities in North America, Europe and Asia.

In New York, Occupy Wall Street will join scores of labor organizations observing May 1, traditionally recognized as International Workers’ Day. They plan marches from Union Square to Lower Manhattan and a “pop-up occupation” of Bryant Park on Sixth Avenue, across the street from Bank of America’s Corp.’s 55-story tower.

“We call upon people to refrain from shopping, walk out of class, take the day off of work and other creative forms of resistance disrupting the status quo,” organizers said in an April 26 e-mail.

May Day + Protests + Occupy Wall Street = socialist + communist collaborators. Anyone Surprised?

May 1st? Labor Day for Reds.

It will be interesting to see how the media cooks the coverage. Ignore any communist parts?

And the news pours in...

'Occupy' Promises 'Biggest Shut Down The City Of New York Has Ever Seen,' Blockade Of San Fran

As part of Occupy Wall Street’s call for a nationwide “general strike” May 1, elements within the group are looking to shut down bridges and tunnels in both New York and San Francisco.

Occupy Oakland, the most radical of all the local Occupy groups, passed a resolution April 15 that vows to shut down all travel from Marin to San Francisco.

“If any of the unions on the Golden Gate bridge declare a strike or shutdown action on May Day, we will act in solidarity with these striking workers and the international call for a general strike on May Day, by blockading the flow of capital to the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District. This will be accomplished by a collaboration of pickets and direct action which will shut down all modes of transportation from Marin to San Francisco,” went the statement on the website Occupythebridge.com.

The May Day Flier from the Golden Gate Labor Coalition calls for a protest next to the bridge that insists the Bridge District also: “don’t reduce vested retiree benefits,” “don’t reduce current employees’ benefits” and “don’t reward non-union employees with raises while breaking promises to union workers.”

As Spain, Greece, Italy and France goes... so will we... with Obama leading the parade.

TLGT,
Your French friends excited about the socialists winning the next election? Sarkozy looks like he will lose.

Now, we should be a little more sensitive to these gentle kind hearted people. After all, are they not our fellow countrymen?

I think liberals get such a bad rap. Perhaps, we should allow them their day?

National SOCIALIST CoExIStaNT Day!

What's up VL?

Is "VL" some sort of inside joke here? At least clue me in if you're going to call me that.

Just a guy with limited ability to post anything of relevance. If you are not one in the same, I appoligize...but your style is eerily similar and there is a recent rash of regulars prentending to be new posters.
