Don’t be silly and prance around like you have won some kind of victory because the law enforcement bullies haven’t smashed your face with a club [yet.] If you really believe in the overthrow of the present economic system, and you are anxious to further its permanent demise, then I suggest you prepare for civil war and count the cost while meditating on the likely violent reaction the vested financial interests will heartily support. Should any genuine threat arise you can be assured that the police will gladly beat your heads and lock you up in one of their preventive detention camps.

As a Humboldt alumna, I am proud of HSU’s students for putting together such a well-organized Occupation.

Since they are non-violent and considerate of the campus community, there is no reason for HSU’s administration to censor their free speech by prohibiting the tents. Occupy San Jose is facing similar issues with the City of San Jose for Occupying the City Hall Plaza. Our attorneys maintain that using tents as a symbol of the occupation, and even sleeping in the tents, to maintain a 24/7 protest site is NOT camping; it is free speech, protected by the First Amendment.

If Occupy Humboldt isn’t in touch with the National Lawyer’s Guild yet for help defending their free speech rights against the University, they should be. HSU has enough financial troubles already without getting itself into a First Amendment case.

The #OWS movement is decentralized and leaderless; in part, this is to avoid being co-opted the way the Tea Party has been. Although Ron Paul supporters are welcome to support and participate #OWS, there is no affiliation between Ron Paul and #OWS.

My first impression upon arriving at Liberty Plaza today (October 10, 2011, 1:00pm) was that The Occupation had grown. The park had been efficiently reorganized to accommodate the growth. Today, the Occupation Status Board was focused more on the mundane logistics of growth management, like quite hours and safeguarding the flower beds, than on overarching themes. The logistics of building a community, where there wasn’t one before, in the absence of traditional infrastructure, is challenging. Yet, through a deliberative democratic process, The Occupation is succeeding in doing just that! Continue reading → http://outlierideas.com/2011/10/11/occupy-wall-street-day-24-growing/

Thanks for the coverage of these bold and noble young people. Many of them participated with the local Vets For Peace last Friday eve, by joining their silent vigil on the plaza. When a movement combines the energy of young critical thinking minds with life experience from older veterans, expect to see some powerful things happen!

If you support Occupy, you should support Ron Paul. Look into it!
