Day 11 - 9/27/11 Daily Recap | Occupy Wall Street Video

[filmasart]

I support a popular movement against the corporate greed and wealth gap in this country... but if I have to watch another video with a god damn hippie drum circle my fucking head is going to explode.

[Cruithear]

2:00 -- THIS ECONOMIC SYSTEM IS NOT CAPITALISM. If you're going to protest an economic system, learn to tell the differences between capitalism and corporatism/crony capitalism. One has directly contributed to more global prosperity than any other system; the other destroys prosperity.

[DubStarZ910]

Here's to a FAIR, DEMOCRATIC, REPRESENTATIVE government that views us all EQUALLY. #occupywallstreet

[FORMETOKNOWONLY]

If OWS was a legitimate movement, Alex Jones would be there and not denouncing it on infowars. A word to the wise is sufficient. ;) BTW- The anti-semitic overtones are a bit disturbing, search for "anti-semitic rant at occupy wall street".

[filmasart]

@FORMETOKNOWONLY Alex Jones is a charlatan... hilarious... if it was a real movement he would be there. What a joke. More like if he could sell a or CD/DVD he would be there.

[judah415]

Keep up the good works!!!

[judah415]

Prob with network everytime I try to subscribe but that's ok. Keep up the good works!!!

[brandonvass1002]

Silly #Liberal clowns hate the "corporations" yet everyone of these fools has an iPhone .. #OccupyWallStreet

[FlameHue]

@msraggedyaint Yes, I'm sure countless people have said the same exact thing in the past, and look where we are today.

[KYKIN44]

The USA Army goes around the world killing hurting and plundering the people when they fight back we call them terrorist.The USA law enforcement they go around America hurting killing and plundering the people. When the people fights back we call them homegrown terrorist that the game the elite plays that everyone is the terrorist except the rich people they trained the people to think that everyone is evil but the rich & political class.

[maggiemillross]

shocking to discover this for the first time today.............and that nothing has appeared on BBC until today...when it has been all over FB....BBC independant of British government.....I don't think so!!

[3rdsidewalker]

@bood420 if the 1% could rewrite the US economic law, why can't the 99%?

[AVMthrasher]

@3rdsidewalker Because the 1% actually understands the economy, while the other 99% just think the economy is some magic force that will solve all their problems.

[Bluvenus]

Damn ... I have been wishing I could be there. This video makes me want to even more!  But I live in Hawaii, so unfortunately I'm too far away. This type of action brings together some of my biggest passions ... activism, music, photography/video journalism, and sharing a common cause with a bunch of beautiful people. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!! and DON'T GIVE UP!!!

[FlameHue]

Fucking pathetic. Nothing is going to change. People go home and stop wasting your time.

[mmckinnerney]

@bood420 What jobs? The government works for corporations,bankers and lobbyists not the people.

WE NEED CHANGE! Period. END THE FED is a start. Let the government print interest free money.

[airy3que]

@CaptMidnight87 LOL disparaging a movement by making fun of their age and their clothes. You're freakin' *deep* man.

Bein' middle class doesn't help when you get out of college and there are well over 25 million people vying for 3 million jobs. You're not middle class for long. And even if you were--others, not you I realize, but others are capable of caring what happens to the poor even when they're not poor themselves. That's crazy, right?

[airy3que]

@bood420 Fascism is a political system. Capitalism is an economic system. You can't replace capitalism with fascism, fool. You can, however, have them both simultaneously.

Don't look for any hippy losers to help when you fired from your job and there's not another one to get to replace it with, if you try to get everyone to go home now. They're fighting for your right for the pay you SHOULD be getting for your job now. The economy's grown. Your pay has NOT grown proportionately.

[portzblitz]

This is my favorite video yet. It's beautiful.

Bravo & thanks OTVNY.

[catzbarking]

The "authorities" are only trying as hard as they can to get the Occupation to become violent. That's their game...don't give them what they want!

[rockerfaerie]

@bood420 I feel sorry for you being so angry for people standing up for what they feel is right in their hearts... it must really suck to be you

[KhanQSolomon]

wow this was deep ......check this /watch?v=jOTAPU-UqFY

[JacobDaKing187]

Nice

[chopin999]

all the best from australia!

[STEEEVVYZ]

nationwide by 1010 !!! its happening  its like a freight train!!

[88starnation]

wow! thanks for recapping & capturing the days in a clean, succinct and well-edited way. sometimes the global revolution site is so jammed, it gets kinda challenging to watch, so when i came across the 3 pieces you've posted here, it was like a breath of fresh air. PLS KEEP UP THIS AWESOME WORK - you're the lifeline to those of us who are not in NY. much gratitude to you!

[NAZMY2003]

this movment is global , do not stop

greetings from egypt

[bigman1225]

I'm sorry, what do you all expect to achieve?

[TheLiable12]

Thanks for the pepole



[kevinflo]

If they just picked like one reasonable and accomplishable goal and rebranded under it they MIGHT have a chance in hell of actually changing something, but instead this will just be a magnet for everyone with a cause. The only thing they've put foreword along these lines is campaign finance reform, but even that was mixed up in other messages. As is, this will accomplish nothing. A bunch of idealistic disaffected youth with pipe dreams and too few realistic thinkers mixed in.

[KrytakliAklaimd]

i hope everyone is not voting republican nor democratic in 2012

[theessenceofkite]

Peace and Love. the whole world is proud of you. Courage is contagious. My heart grows and new hope is found! United we stand.

[DJPhoney]

You have my full solidarity!

[AntonyThorburn]

PΞДCΞ & Ŀ☼√Ξ

[Golgotha357]

I love this! I'm so proud of these people! A peaceful protest for once that doesn't involve hate or discrimination.

[monteve1]

all you folks are giveing me hope if you keep going i will not kill my self .i love you all

[locolalo1364]

#OCCCUPYFUCKINGWALLSHIT

[Firebolt68]

@OccupyTVNY I am pretty sure the American people don't give a flying fuck about your delusional hipster philosophies, so kindly get the fuck out of my youtube.

[leonelidas89]

Keep it up!

[KaossControllers]

sweet vid

[jgcane]

funny thing is these bums have no clue what they are talking about. no wonder they are poor it looks like they havent worked a day in their lives. these hippies make me sick

[leonelidas89]

@jgcane Your lack of humanity makes me sick.

[remmbermytitans]

At 1:32, therein lies my conflict with this movement. I want to support this movement, but I can't support it if people are against capitalism and against success. Yes, the 1% are rich beyond the definition of rich, but most of them did work hard and we should not PUNISH the risks they probably had to take at one time or another in their lives. Saying that, I do believe that they need to pay their share and I think this movement should consider making a 'flat tax' part of their movement.

[ghostcrab311]

@remmbermytitans They worked hard? Really? At what point is what they do worth thousands of times more money than what other people do for a living? Pretty sure that the guys running city utilites are important, too. Back in the day, people were exploited on the basis of physical strength, now they are exploited on the basis of economic skills. Either way it is exploitation.

[remmbermytitans]

@ghostcrab311 Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and many others who are super rich, started off like you and me. They took many risks, had multiple sleepless nights to get where they are now. I'm not saying we wouldn't tax them, but we should be careful to not make this a punishment for success. In fact, without these two men, you and I wouldn't be having this conversation.

[ghostcrab311]

@remmbermytitans Fair enough. I don't have anything against entrepreneurs and inventors profiting off their work. I have a huge problem with the corporatist monopoly that drives the economy. That corporations are accorded the rights of human beings is deeply disturbing to me, as is the excessive concentration of wealth that seems to be the standard of the day.

Tremendous power and no accountability are perfect conditions for anti-social behaviors to develop.

[remmbermytitans]

And you're right, the utilities men, firefighters, police, teachers school deserve better, but we can't scapegoat successful people.

[Sylinic]

@remmbermytitans We can when a they're crippling the American people, and single handedly eviscerated the economy.

[xXHeartagramTwinXx]

I wish I was on L.A. right now. What can I do to help if I'm trapped with my family in southwestern California... but I mean really south.

[MorrinWellSmith]

Down with Capitalism! Revenge shall be red!

[SpartanChin19]

looks like a lot of hippies....

but they are doing a good thing

[RevolutionaryCat11]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! WE SHALL RISE!! ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

1LOVE & LIGHT..STAY UP YALL..

[MAiNPRoToCoL]

Where can I get a soundtrack!

[MAiNPRoToCoL]

Where can i get a sound track!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BonBon3589]

I dunno this protest sounds extremely misguided... it's going in a bunch of different directions. Why say 'stop capitalism' when we just want corrupt politics to stop? (at least that's what I want)

[keptyeti]

PLEASE

DON'T

STOP

[Wickwitch]

Love the people standing up for their rights! And Dr. Cornell West is pretty awesome!

[besquiify]

Beautiful!!

WE stand behind you!!!



[CNUanMan]

Hippies? Most definitely. They're still doing a great thing with this protest. I wish I lived in NYC.

[HitMakerSolo]

@CNUanMan There are actually more normal people than hippies, you have to go down their and see for yourself. Their are workers on strike as well, it's crazy.

[MorrinWellSmith]

@CNUanMan Hippies? Or just people with balls? Even if you lived you wound't go on the street and you know it.

[peterpannz]

Peak oil will negate any short term gains. The party is over for 100% of us.

That was as good as it gets.

oilcrash

[XxAmericanLedxX]

Never stop! The revolution is in it's infancy! I am from NJ and I hope to join you. I am hopeful... I hope it isn't just youthful naivete.

[musiqlovur]

Please don't stop, so many are behind you!!! I wish i could be there myself, you are giving us hope and YOU are our heroes!!! Love comin your way from Ohio <3 keep it up brothers and sisters!!!!

[EricaMitochondria]

Keep it up, guys. Regards from Canada. Wish I could be there. Good luck with everything, you're brave heroes.

[pressstarttobegin]

Keep it up, folks. Wish I could be there.

Love from Atlanta, GA!

[Alphadestrious]

Lies, distortion, polarization

Can't you hear the cries of a nation?

Cries of pain, poverty, and resentment

But you'll be safe just hide in your basement

In reality, what is the truth?

With the knowledge you better make a move

A move to stand above the violence

Then you'll realize ignorance is bliss

Ignorance is bliss

[lizardfirefighter110]

No, Capitalism is good. Capitalism like our Republic has been polluted by corrupt manipulators. Thus our nation is now adrift towards an abyss.

[GDchick13]

Keep fighting the good fight guys. Exercise your right to protest!

[1111Movement]

Amazing occupyyoutube com supports you

[Ise484]

You folks are giving me hope. Please don't stop!

[garciaclock]

Great job, we are proud of your courage and love for humanity <3 This movement will grow!

[beaelliott]

...The elite oppress species too. Stop the injustice whether the victims are on two legs or four.

[Flailwielder]

But don't you guys watch Fox News? We need to make sure the wealt- .... i mean the "job creators" have as much money as possible so that they can give it to you perhaps when they feel like it maybe possibly. Don't you know how trickle down economics work? You're not COMMUNIST, are you?! o.0

[mapparu]

@Flailwielder lol, faux news

[KidKaimera]

Where are the police brutality clips?



[fls13ec]

Just about everybody agrees on what the problem is, it's the solution that's the problem.

[Mars2O84]

@fls13ec

You're right, even if we can agree on the problems, we disagree on the solutions. And that's exactly why we need more discussion, debate, and democracy - REAL democracy! Where each and every citizen has the right to have a say in the decisions that affect them - 1 person, 1 vote.

The open forum of the General Assembly provides the basic framework for this new model.

[HaLfDeAdArtist1]

HELL YEAH!!!!

[krophiquon]

No one's going to take you seriously when you start a drum circle...

[krystalwaters46]

@krophiquon not true

[krystalwaters46]

Respond to this video...  Drums have led and followed many 'real' call to action.

[lawgirl26]

This is beautiful and powerful. I shed a tear of strength.

[yogatoes]

This is what I'm talking about. Good work on the video!

[yogatoes]

This is what I'm talking about. Good work on the video!

[ItsJustCraig]

You think the U.S. is a "police state???" Try visiting your "brothers and sisters" in North Korea, China, Cuba and many other pinko states.

[babauzhis]

@ItsJustCraig so you suggest to wait till America becomes like North Korea?

[ItsJustCraig]

It's hilarious how you hipsters are whining about an alleged "media blackout" and "censorship," yet you try to censor people who comment on this joke of a "protest."

[bigAshizzle]

@ItsJustCraig Well, what would you do to protest this if you were so inclined?

I mean, obviously you're very well educated on the subject given the very convincing post you made calling another protest a joke... And yet you're sitting on your ass, bitching pointlessly. That's a revolution all right.

Grow up, broski. See ya at the evolution bell curve.

[nativeskygirl]

"stop capitalism" ...oh yea, cause socialist policies are working out so well for this country.

are you people fucking blind or just illiterate?

do you read what's going on in Europe.

jesus.... go home & take a shower

your parents are wondering where you are

[FungusMossGnosis]

@nativeskygirl

Grow up, brat. Learn what these words actually mean, and how they are effecting people. I see you contributing much illiteracy.

You choose to sit on your ass and let the Country deteriorate, talking about sports, while hard working people and college grads have no place to work in this society, no means of steady income.

Don't take any one protest sign or hairdo to represent a whole, widespread growing movement. Grow the fuck up, and stop blaming those with the least power.

[nativeskygirl]

i see the typical Socialist Hacks are showing up. snooooze

meanwhile....

the RED SOX ARE TIED WITH TAMPA BAY FOR THE WILD CARD!!!!

[hodjataoista]

we have to support and feed this!! we cannot afford to lose this opportunity!!!

[BlindFaithiness]

Epic.  Love the recaps. I donated.

[Sylinic]

I'm a pretty manly guy, but this made me tear up. This is so fucking beautiful, and to think not to long ago I though my fellow youth were blind and didn't care.

[Jaffsickle]

GO GO GO GO GO WE NEED TO WAKE UP THE SHEEPLE!

[andrewsanders1984]

END STATE-CAPITALISM!

[richzubaty]

I love you people! I can go to my grave knowing another generation of American activists has been born.

[NWOsuredoessuckass]

Copy and paste this everywhere-- Wall Street Occupation (or anywhere else) protesters--Our demands are as follows: 1. Terminate the Federal Reserve and prosecute Ben Bernanke and his buddies. 2. Write off the inflated counterfeit national debt. 3. Remove money from politics. 4. End the patriot act and spying on civilians. 5. End the imperial, illegal wars around the world. 6. Make gold and silver legal tender. 7. End the war on drugs. 8. Hold MSM accountable. R3VO_IUTION

[Mars2O84]

@NWO

Hey, don't pass on spam like that. A decent list, but unless you took part in a General Assembly, don't assume to speak for the group.

I saw your message on another OWS vid where you said "fuck democracy." What an asshole, trying to co-opt this movement from the sidelines, and you have the nerve to say 'this is the official list of demands.'

The time to put up or stfu is here. You have suggestions, good. Go to the nearest Occupy event and make your voice heard in a democratic forum.

[NWOsuredoessuckass]

you caught me. ill take my ideas to occupy dallas

[TheMumren]

Totally awesome. Keep up the good work because COURAGE is contagious! Don't feed the trolls, they're talking in their sleep. When they wake up from the illusion they've been living in, they'll deny having ever said the things that they did. Not because they're liars, but because no-one ever remembers what they said in their sleep :)

[Firebolt68]

@TheMumren You know who is really being fed? The media, who loves to over hyping shit to death and manipulate morons like you to make a big deal out of it. How about you wake the fuck up and realize that you will never be apart of something that is truly significant in Washington, I am pretty sure politics want you to fuck off and let it do its job because in a month from now this silly protest will just be another shitstain created by the powerless, uneducated, jobless idiots (only) in America.

[TheMumren]

@Firebolt68 Shhhhhh everybody. FFS, Firebolts trying to sleep. Don't worry hun, I get really p**sed too when I'm trying to sleep and there is so much commotion going on. Hate, hate it I tell you! OK. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the noise. Now go back to sleep.

[lhmasonable]

Awesome. Absolutely Awesome.

FINALLY some people who have logged off Facebook, shut off their idiot-training-box (aka:TV) and are INSISTING that THEIR lives get to be within THEIR control ! ! !

KUDOS KUDOS KUDOS ! ! ! ! I am with you!

[CorvidDude]

I never thought I'd see people in the USA giving a shit. I am pleasantly surprised.

[RiseAgainstState]

@ItsJustCraig Mannn you really don't know how stupid you sound! You need to stop watching mainstream media and read more!

[ItsJustCraig]

This is such a joke.

[RiseAgainstState]

@ItsJustCraig how is this a joke? 

[Bulbaz0r]

One day Europe will storm its stock markets.

[BigDG80]

BEAUTIFUL

[Mrsashedwards]

Wish I was there!

[STEEEVVYZ]

DONT STOP THE COUNTRY IS WITH YOU !!!.. THIS MOVEMENT WILL GROW

[Firebolt68]

@STEEEVVYZ I really don't see any sort of "movement" going on here, a crowd of butthurt new yorkers sleeping in the streets who don't have a fucking clue about what they're talking about DOES NOT make any sort national or intrastate movement.
