Dear Occupiers: A letter from anarchists
(Intro) We’re inspired by the occupations on Wall Street and elsewhere around the country. Finally, people are taking to the streets again! The momentum around these actions has the potential to reinvigorate protest and resistance in this country. We hope these occupations will increase both in numbers and in substance, and we’ll do our best to contribute to that.
Comment: I think most people will be surprised after reading this that they have so much in common in viewpoint with those who proclaim to be “anarchists” 🙂

After today’s column by Justin Raimondo, in “Notes in the Margin,” he recounts some unusual happenings regarding a soldier policeman charged with espionage. But the story gets much stranger with the mention of the Northcomm connection during the recent US Emergency Alert System testing.
Raimondo’s says:
“The strange case of Army Specialist William Millay, a 22-year-old military policeman from Owensboro, Ky., continues to mystify. Millay was arrested and charged with espionage, but the military and the DOJ are keeping their cards pretty close: reports indicate he gave military secrets to a “foreign power,” but the country is not specified. Now we learn that he was nabbed because of emails scooped up by NSA snoops that warned his mother to “prepare for the end of the world.” Associated Content reports:
“Millay had growing concerns over a massive military buildup of NorthCom. This buildup is said to include troops and equipment being shipped in from Afghanistan, Japan and South Korea through the Alaskan base and then to “staging areas” in the US. NorthCom was created on October 1, 2002 after 9/11. NorthCom is charged with protecting the United States homeland in support of local, state, and federal authorities. This support is limited by the Posse Comitatus Act . AFNORTH would take charge of the situation or event in the case of national emergencies, natural or man-made.
“Specialist Millay believed that the redeployment of these tens of thousands of US troops to America was “somehow” related to the November 9 testing of the United States Emergency Alert System (EAS) that is occurring “coincidentally” with a vast number of disaster drills and exercises being planned for the same time period.”
Does Alex Jones know about this?”

Theophilis Goodyear: Retired Police Captain to OWS
Uncategorized
I transcribed a TV interview with retired police Captain Ray Lewis, below, and typed it up in the form of a news article. He's sympathetic to the OWS cause and was arrested at a protest in New York. He says some protesters are hurting the cause by the way they're confronting police, and he offers some suggestions.<
———-
Lewis says that shouting at police doesn't help the situation. Protestors should just give their heartfelt feelings about why they're protesting.
Lewis was arrested at an OWS protest in New York along with 300 other Occupy Wall Street protestors and is very sympathetic to the OWS cause.
He recently appeared on the Rachel Maddow Show. This is a transcript of his interview. The link is provided for reference. Lewis' interview doesn't begin until about 6:20 minutes into the video clip:

The 99%’s Deficit Proposal: How to create jobs, reduce the wealth divide and control spending
Prepared by Occupy Washington DC
Freedom Plaza, November 2011
The disconnect between Congress and the people is vast. For decades, Congress has been passing laws that benefit the 1%, their campaign donors and big business interests, rather than creating a fair economy that serves all U.S. citizens. With this report Occupy Washington, DC shows that Congress is out of touch with evidence-based solutions, supported by the majority of Americans that can revive the economy, reduce the deficit and wealth divide while create millions of jobs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accept no substitutes when casually repressing students,November 21, 2011
Whenever I need to breezily inflict discipline on unruly citizens, I know I can trust Defense Technology 56895 MK-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray to get the job done! The power of reason is no match for Defense Technology's superior repression power. When I reach for my can of Defense Technology 56895 MK-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray, I know that even the mighty First Amendment doesn't stand a chance against its many scovil units of civil rights suppression.
When I feel threatened by students, no matter how unarmed, peaceful and seated they may be, I know that Defense Technology 56895 MK-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray has got my back as I casually spray away at point blank range.
It really is the Cadillac of citizen repression technology.
Buy a whole case.

1.0 out of 5 stars Product Warnng: This procuct multiplies protesters,November 22, 2011
By
pen name “100yrsold” (Gainesville, FL USA) – See all my reviews
I casually used this product to try to disperse a small band of non-violent campers who had locked their arms together. Although initially it seemed to be effective, it took two applications! The worst part is that the next day they multiplied exponentially! Now what?
One positive outcome, I did receive a paid vacation for my efforts.
