Since I have accumulated so many Occupy Wall Street pics over the last six months, I decided to make a video. Ch ch ch check it out:
At the end of the video there is a man in a police uniform holding up a sign encouraging people who don't understand what OWS is about to watch the film Inside Job. That man is retired Philadelphia police captain Ray Lewis, an avid occupier. In November the chief was arrested in full uniform at an OWS demonstration for holding up a sign that read 'NYPD don't be Wall St. mercenaries.' If you haven't seen the documentary Inside Job I highly recommend it.
“Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience.
Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates
of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our
problem is that people are obedient allover the world in the face of
poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem
is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves…
(and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.” -- Howard Zinn
