Occupy Yourself!!!

The personalization of the Occupy Movement- Continued...

 

The Occupy Movement claims it is alive and well.

There appears however to be a disassembly of the General Assembly.

Within a span of less than 24 hours, law enforcement broke up encampments in several major cities without incident.

The OWS physical presence which was its core essence is MIA.

At the same time, corporate interests including the mainstream media continue to do everything they can to discredit and silence the movement.

There have even been rumblings that the economy is turning around because a few people bought a few things on Black Friday and were filmed doing so.

The OccupyMovement  is now the Unoccupy Movement

I am not really sure how it happened or if what happened was legal.

Some say Homeland Security and the FBI facilitated the  disoccupation via an illegal conference call where city officials were schooled on police tactics and legal rationales to end the foolishness without:

  1. theatrics
  2. pepper spray

Even without the help of Homeland Security:

Occupied appears preoccupied

Is it just getting cold or is it something more?  Along the way, the movement managed to alienate a large segment of supporters. While most relate, sympathize and would love to find ways help something always gets in the way.

Are we too busy?
