So what is the next move while the 1% waits it out hoping for a "planned diffusion"?

Really literally, the %1 could just do nothing and even worse, just keep making things worse. They are counting on non-violence or maybe that nothing will happen to them since they control our Government. They bought the voting machines, the Judges, the control over what you use, hear and eat.
I think there needs to be an amping up plan. Where do we begin? Any ideas?

3. Some ceremonial arrests would be nice. A thousand or so would be a nice start.

And I'm talking about banksters and the looters on Wall Street, not protesters. They've got a damn good reason to be out there.

4. Don't hold your breath

The significance of the protests is to establish presense. The effects need to be viewed long term.

5. Remove your money and yourself from the system as much as possible.

the more people do things like going off-grid, the more they'll notice.

6. How about we encourage people to start emailing their congress

Edited on Sun Oct-16-11 03:26 PM by jwirr

persons? Just a simple email "We are the 99% - they got bailed out - we got sold out." Just to let them know what our power is - our numbers. This is something everyone can do without much effort. Then when we finally do ask them to do something it could help. Put the fear of the devil (people) into them. Not as a threat but as a education for those who do not see this as serious. It would not hurt to do this to the WH as well. We are here and we are growing. Let them see just what kind of support the protesters have.

I already have myself as far out of the banking system as possible and that is also a very good move.
