I just posted (in another thread) a note about the F29 Wal-Mart protest in Mira Loma, CA:

...to the live stream? I and I'm sure others would like to view this. I hope Freedom is O.K., I watched her cover the LA eviction for hours straight. She was absolutely fearless and street smart, she would have made one of the. Vietnam combat journalists smile. Vibes for her safety.

She's offline now, but has posted today's videos:

Thanks Pinboy! I'm going to check out the link now, I was redownloading Ustream in case I needed it. Back after I watch.

I can't get the ustream of walmart to play from the link, it stays stuck at 0% buffering. I tried to watch her interview on Ustream, and it keeps stopping every 5 seconds like clockwork for buffering. It might be atmospherics, I'm in a bad location indoors on a samsung intercept. I tried moving ustream to the sd card, didn't help. Shit. Ideas anyone?

provocateurs\cops and other special types?

And is occupying the media count?

...Nadin, the work you do counts big time. Great of you to drop in, pull up a chair and here's a virtual cup of cappicino for you! :coffee:

Right now I'm in Kaneohe Oahu, to make a presentation tomorrow, then some fun Friday Saturday, then back to work at the school offices!

Good people here, but I like home, too!

...the most beautiful islands on earth, and you wish you were back here with us in the frozen tundra of the northeast? Better drink some more Kaluah, buddy, and stat enjoying yourself! Aloha!

When I hear the weather reports I get on the phone and make changes to the reservation...

Staying two extra nights on Maui, then I'll come home!!!

...as you walk on the white sand looking at the crystal blue waters...

1. Camping out next to city hall is one thing. You go after Wal-Mart, it's on, baby.

2. Speaking in a provocative manner to cops, such as "did you even finish high school", or "why don't YOU move back"? , while perhaps momentarily gratifying, is just plain stupid. I would not want to live with something stupid coming out of my mouth getting someone hurt. When Freedom speaks to the police, she is polite and it's "sir" and respectfully asked questions. You want them to wonder when they go home "why are they making us do this to these nice peaceful people", NOT "boy, it felt good smacking that foulmouthed disrespectful asshole in the teeth with my baton".

It took me twice as long as the running timeto watch this, due to all the buffering, but it was worth it. I look forward to more from freedom and to seeing all of you safe and free.

Occupy Orange County NY tonight

Project I'm involved in marginally related... lot of heat on all things activism related right now... we have to be real careful until we get past the funding hump. When you start trying to get funding for stuff, that's when pro-establishment folks in the community start pulling the strings. And even in a liberal community (actually, especially in an affluent community, because they aren't the ones hurting) they tend to resent activists for some reason... usually they say "I used to be like you, that's why I'm willing to speak to you"... aargh

What a condescending stinking thing to say!

Well, what they're saying, explicitly, is, "I'm not like you anymore."

And then after some patronizing chat they turn to meet with their other friends who are no longer like you, if ever they were.

Crap.

~~~~~~~~~~

If so I shared Chan790's concerns simply about the angle of who determines who gets access to the "national Occupy office" and stuff like that (in another thread).

The funding for the project I mentioned was for a much more local and low-key endeavor which might provide some local support for Occupy... when it comes to providing space, living space and so forth I think that's the model Occupy should be pursuing... distributed throughout the neighboroods, possibly with each space providing support for a neighborhood assembly

The problems I was having for work-related stuff seem to have solved themselves, so I'll have much more time than I did this past week.

i'll probably lurk more than i post, but i'm here, in Washtenaw Country, Michigan!

Hope you guys are getting the same warm weather break we are getting here for a change! Erie is usually like the south pole this time of year. Our local Occupy has moved indoors till spring.

The point is to cost him local market advertisers.

I would like to see Rash Limpballs off the air

process underway.

at an internet cafe in southern Mexico, working my way back to the States. Plan to be back by mid-March.

Totally ready for American Spring.

We look forward to your return!

I could always use more schoolin´.

I must not eat the Bonaroo.....

Helping to connect the Street Medic group with the local PNHP chapter. Great Occupy Seattle table at the PNHP-Western Washington public annual meeting. Having Amy Goodman speak didn't hurt either.

... are happening in Seattle! It is 5:28 a.m. in Pa. Right now, I could use a steaming hot cup of Seattles finest!

I will NOT REPENT!!! Memories of going to"the shore" from Philly and eating at "Chris's Restaurant", fresh seafood right off the boat cooked in front of you! another vanished piece of the American Dream.....

OK, I'm not gonna go there.

Too bad it's gone.

It hit 60 today!

Several Occupy movement activities.

Waiting till it's not 34% at night.

... thanks for the radio check!

Here in pa that was outside in the park every freaking day of our freezing winter. That's seriously hardcore.

The New England bad weather to protest Iraq War I and Iraq War II.

Just a lonely guy with a sign by a highway, and unless you knew it was him, you'd wonder who in their right mind would be out in such weather.

Goddess bless the lonely ones
who protest.

... bless this young man. I couldn't do it. Too old and busted up. He is a college kid, about 6'3 (no exaggeration) and built like a brick. I spent a lot of time talking to him, he stayed after the rest broke physically and went indoors. I will drop in on him tommorow with doughnuts or pizza. I'll tell him it's from all of the occupiers in this thread.

I think unions and other organizational donors shoul (have, it's now spring) consider(ed) donating sets of long johns for anyone wishing to occupy. It would really help, I myself would have to do so before I could bear to remain outside for more than a couple hours until the weather wamed up about a week ago.

sp He won't eat any food donation off the street unless yoju help eat some! Actually the unions have been wonderful with assistance to Occupy Erie. But driving past and seeing this lone holdout in the dead of winter....you have to know the story of Commmodore Perry and the war of 1812, and the hardship they faced to appreciate it. Eries motto is "Don't Give Up The Ship". This young man embodies that motto.

It would be nice to know he gets some pizza and doughnuts.

That's one dedicated Dude... But, can't be for everyone, with families to feed and trying to keep life together without going off on...because they can't afford meds to help...or dull the pain of what some of us see out there as so HORRIBLY WRONG in our country!

Means that it's left to some of us who can afford the time..for whatever reason...to JUST KEEP AT IT! Whichever way we can....whatever way we can...Donations...attending a weekend march if you are off work...promoting a website with your comments "Positive" about the actions OWS is taking or just trying to spread the word wherever you can if you aren't mobile or connected anywhere but the NET...

We have to "COME TOGETHER." This is Serious...beyond anything any of us have ever known in our lives.

Were never spoken.

I stumbled across this video while doing research on the Occupy Wall Street movement and wanted to share it with the community......Please share this link.
