Van and Action Day Occupiers

from Time

Rabble Rouser ... there's a catch-phrase from the ages.
Synonym now-a-days for Community Organizer.

Time this week, begins to reform the Van. Beginning with an evocative portrait.
Statesmanlike in every way. A soft and soapy recap of his Obama stint segues to his current activities.

Photographic proof that the community is being organized.

The Van asks ya to visit his Rebuild the Dream net. Goin' there, the question comes to mind. What exactly is the definition of a collective?

As of this post, the "Day of Action", 11/17/11, by the OWSers, I haven't seen Van on the net. The NYPD kept the 99% Horde from "occupying" the Exchange. We'll see about further action.

Protest!

So ... The peeps are in the street. Power to the people 'n all that.

Wall Street, LA, Chicago, Boston

'Bout time that an unruly mob asks politely for some accountability from the

•  Bankers
• Corporations
• Federal Reserve
• .gov
• all the above

The questions;

• what will protests accomplish
• what will the various PTB reactions be
• will this grow larger

I hearts me some street theater. Even or especially this odd mix of students, anarchists, dirty filthy hippies, etc., you know ... the usual suspects. The ones that put "protesting" in their FB profile.
