Occupy Charleston: Michele Bachmann Gets Mic Checked
09 November 11
CProtesters interrupted a speech by Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann in Mount Pleasant. The protesters stood up and began shouting "Mic check!" and told her she was more concerned with dividing Americans than helping them.
Transcript:
"Mic check!
Mic check!
This will only take a minute | We have a message for Mrs. Bachmann.
You capitalize on dividing Americans | claiming people that disagree with you | are unpatriotic socialists | and you promote discrimination.
This does not help the American People.
You parade as a grassroots candidate | but your campaign is funded | by Americans For Prosperity | a group that takes advantage | of legalized money laundering.
This does not help the American People.
You cater to the One Percent | you oppose paying hardworking Americans | a living wage | and refuse | to promote realistic solutions | to economic problems.
This does not help the American people.
This 501(c)(4) | is funded by the Koch Brothers | One of of many organizations | that engage | In misinformation| and drowns out the voice | of the American people | A disturbing result | of the Citizens United decision.
This does not help the American people.
We demand an end to legitimized corruption | through a constitutional reversal | of the Citizens United decision.
This will help the American people.
Have a pleasant day."

Chris Hedges: Chris Hedges in Times Square - Truthdig
(I was with opposition leaders in Laipeg East Germany on Nov 9, 1989 and they said perhaps within a year there will be free passage back and forth across the Berlin Wall. Within a few hours Berlin Wall did not exist.... Foot soldiers of the elite the police don't want to impede movement. The elite became defenseless. The horizontal structure of the movement is brilliant.

Adbusters Calls for Robin Hood Global March
18 October 11
We take from the rich and give to the poor.
Adbusters Tactical Briefing #15
Alright you redeemers, rebels and radicals out there,
We're living through a magical moment ... #OCCUPYWALLSTREET has catalyzed into an international insurgency for democracy ... the mood at our assemblies is electric ... people who go there are drawn into a Gandhian spirit of camaraderie and hope for a new kind of future. Across the globe the 99% are marching! You have inspired more than you know. People are digging into Act One of the long Spring.
Its now time to amp up the edgy theatrics ... deviant pranks, subversive performances and playful détournements of all kinds. Open your insurrectionary imagination. Anything, from a bottom-up transformation of the global economy to changing the way we eat, the way we get around, the way we live, love and communicate ... be the spark that sustains a global revolution of everyday life!
As the movement matures, lets consider a response to our critics. Lets occupy the core of our global system. Lets dethrone the greed that defines this new century. Lets work to define our one great demand.
October 29 - #RobinHood Global March
This is a proposal for the general assemblies of the Occupy movement.
Eight years ago, on February 15, 2003, upwards of 15 million people in sixty countries marched together to stop President Bush from invading Iraq ... a huge chunk of humanity lived for one day without dead time and glimpsed the power of a united people's movement. Now we have an opportunity to repeat that performance on an even larger scale.
On October 29, on the eve of the G20 Leaders Summit in France, let's the people of the world rise up and demand that our G20 leaders immediately impose a 1% #ROBINHOOD tax on all financial transactions and currency trades. Let's send them a clear message: We want you to slow down some of that $1.3-trillion easy money that's sloshing around the global casino each day - enough cash to fund every social program and environmental initiative in the world.
Take this idea to your local general assembly and join your comrades in the streets on October 29.
for the wild,
