| 'Tahrir-style occupation planned in US' |
| 2011-08-31 |
| [Iran Press TV] Organizers of the October 2011 Movement in the United States have planned to occupy Freedom Plaza in the capital, in a move similar to "the occupation of Tahrir Square," Press TV reported. Except that this one will have very little effect on anything... "We are going to occupy Freedom Plaza in the middle of Washington DC, the name of which is very similar of course to Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt, and from there we are going go to expand to shut down offices, buildings, streets, hallways, to nonviolently, strictly nonviolently resist what our government is doing," said David Swanson, a member of the movement, on Monday. Of course you are... In an interview with Press TV, Swanson further said that the occupation, that is set to begin on October 6, coincides with the "ten year mark in the war in Afghanistan that they have now suggested may continue for another 13 years or so." Oh, my God! Someone actually believes us... The aim of the occupation is to raise taxes for the wealthy and corporations, end the wars the country is engaged in and to protect the social safety net by strengthening Social Security and Medicare amongst others. ...and maybe finally freeing Mumia. Moreover, Swanson added the occupation will continue until the group believes that they "have achieved some movement in the right direction, some success, some reversal of the course that our government is on." That's good. Enjoy the winter. The occupation is being organized at a website called The movement further explains it has been inspired by the courageous and nonviolent uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Greece and Spain. I'm sure it'll be the same old intimate gathering of the usual suspects... |

| #15 As I understand it, even if you have a license, using bait is a crime. So no one try to bag their limit on October 6, OK? |

| #11 ...from there we are going go to expand to shut down offices, buildings, streets, hallways, to nonviolently, strictly nonviolently resist what our government is doing... Ten Point Plan for a "Non-Violent" Protest 1. Organize a "non-violent" protest. 2. Reach out to any and all goups to form a "coalitian". 3. Repeatedly stress "non-violence". 4. Give fiery speeches to agitate and wind up the crowds. 5. March and "occupy" non-sanctioned areas as an act of "non-violent" civil disobedience. 6. Goad the police into forcibly removing the crowd. 7. Blame the ensuing "violence" on the police, agents provocateurs, and bad apples. 8. Hold vigils and news conferences outside the jails claiming on-going police brutality. 9. Wait for the cameras and repeat how the event was organized as a "non-violent" protest. 10. Lather, rinse, and repeat. *Dont' forget to take pleanty of photos of the cops in their menacing riot-gear. |

| #2 based on their website, October2011 has Jane Hamsher, Ted Rall, cornel West, and Cynthia McKinney, among others who have pledged to be at Freedom Plaza on Oct 6 and to stay there as long as they can. If you like getting autographs from the most feral lefty crazies in the US, this is a must event. |
