NEW YORK—The security and surveillance state, after crushing the Occupy movement and eradicating its encampments, has mounted a relentless and largely clandestine campaign to deny public space to any group or movement that might spawn another popular uprising. The legal system has been grotesquely deformed in most cities to, in essence, shut public space to protesters, eradicating our right to free speech and peaceful assembly. The goal of the corporate state is to criminalize democratic, popular dissent before there is another popular eruption. Continue reading

Wealth and power is the single greatest force that will lead to our species annihilation. It seems there is little historical antidote to the pathology of this class power. When a plutocracy grows into a rapacious system of exploitation, environmental destruction closely follows. Almost every past civilization has fallen in this manner, and we are not exempt.

BlazingKats·Dec 27, 2012
OWS Week has been covering the Occupy movement and its efforts since 2011. With 99ers’ struggle for justice and economic parity well into its second year, we have decided to look back in the year-end episode at one of the most eventful periods in U.S. contemporary history. With the popular struggle set to continue, we wish all activists success in their endeavor to prove that another world is possible.

Sep. 15, 2012: At about 6pm, a march comprising several hundred protesters left Washington Square Park heading south on Broadway to Zuccotti Park (Liberty Square). Along Broadway on at least two instances NYPD officers lunged into the crowd grabbing and arresting protesters, some seemingly targeted, others just caught in the shuffle. Near the beginning of this video, a “white shirt” NYPD officer is seen slamming a protester to the ground and seemingly throwing a few punches at this person.

The social movement of the day camps at public spaces and calls itself Occupy. You’ve called it the first major popular response to 30 years of class war in the United States. What do you think has Occupy achieved so far?

It brings to public attention the massive inequality and the striking maldistribution of power. Continue reading
