As corporate media continues to ignore the building presence in Manhattan to protest against the corrupt banking system, activists have gathered to document this Tahrir-square style gathering. Below are videos that illustrate the growing unrest, as well as a link to the current livestream of the area. The nature of the protests also has laid bare the absolute police state that has become entrenched in America. In the first video we hear the reporter conclude by saying, "As of now it's still unclear if the police will allow protesters to stay here..." As if that is a normal response to peaceful assembly for a redress of grievances in a free society.
Madison Ruppert has detailed this oppression in his intro article to the Day of Rage entitled: No right to protest in America: Occupation of Wall Street thwarted thanks to ignorant police. Additionally, we have received comments about social networks and e-mail programs blocking discussions centered on the term "Occupy Wall Street." If you are encountering this type of censorship, please drop us a note in the comments section.

If we continue to react with emotionally-charged words to emotionally charged situations foisted on us by the various other puppet-players, we will not make the headway that we could.
Other more positive slogans might be "Campaign for Peace" or "March for Freedom." (These may sound familiar. It's not like this is really a new phenomenon. It's just that the American middle class has never been heavily targeted before.)
One of the bizarre challenges this time around is to bring other people like ourselves up to the awareness of their own complicity in the situation. This is a delicate job! But "truth" "freedom" and "peace" have nearly universal appeal. And those who will step forward to openly ridicule an action with one of these goals reveal themselves as dupes or real enemies.
