Twin, its me scrap... I was put on to this video, you did a hell of a job bro... Awesome editing, perfect song, strong content.... Your on your way my brotha! Keep up the good work... Always, remember that you got an oscar winning actor right here whenever your ready to hit the big screen! lol = P
I'm going to put my fam and friends on to this video..
I finally got my blog up wherein I detail the events of this amazing day as I experienced them as a participating Occupier (I linked -and praised- your excellent video there. Check it out and see you all back in D.C. March 30!! There is a link to my blog on my youtube channel, just click on my username.
Note to Republicans: This movement isn't going away. This country is not only about the rich, it never was. Unlike the racists and empty arguments from the Tea Party, this movement is real, addressing the real issues of inequality. We are being robbed by Corporations and the Republican politicians that allow them to feast off the middle and working class. Keep up the fight Occupy!
BEAUTIFUL!!! TY ty ty tytytytyty...for making them, sharing them...They are SOOO encouraging and INVIGORATING..Motivation by any method is a good thing :)
I DO LOVE my country; the land of my birth. It is with the distorted, criminal, corrupt, disinterested GOVERNMENT and it's policies both within and abroad that I am UNhappy with...Go OCCUPIERS!! We so LOVE YOU ♥♥♥
This makes me cry with hope and happiness, so much love is pouring out of me for all. Thank you for standing up. And for those that do not or can not go, there are sites to sign petitions on line on sites such as ACLU. Even just being grateful for the things we all have, even if it is just small things, brings love into the world to help heal it. I love you all.
If you want to get some results from a protest, the sign should read," I WILL NEVER FILE MY TAX RETURN AGAIN". Damn right I went to jail that day. I was in the middle of the crowd and the police rush through the crowd just to get to me and arrest me, FIRST. I was the most dangerous protester in that crowd just because my sign read," I WILL NEVER FILE MY TAX RETURN AGAIN". My friends, anywhere you occupy your signs most read these words. This will strike fear in within the belly of the IRS.
@thekaiser1231 Finally, Americans are standing up against the corruption and greed that is destroying our country. Realizing it isn't just the Reps that are the problem, but Congress as a whole. Thankfully, some of these wonderful people are taking time off work to be there, with those that have lost everything. Americans all over the US should be out on the streets, because of the injustice taking place. And though some may insult, we should try and reason with them, for real change. Much love.
@thekaiser1231 Sir, I went to this march, and Washington DC is the most expensive city I've ever visited, I took a Jetblue plane there from Orlando, stayed a Howard Johnson hotel, 10 day vacation there, +went to Pennsylvania. Paid by my job, which I've always had. Not everyone is broke and homeless there.
I followed my father's steps, I do the same job my dad did, he didnt finish college,new house, 2 new cars,family of 5. But I rent, drive a scooter, barely make end meet, Income Inequality
Despite any individual differences, these are genuine Americans, standing and marching together, exercising their right of assembly, and proclaiming as one they've had enough of their divisive government. It's touching, and a throwback to this nation's roots.
I believe our forefathers would be proud of moments like this.
"...this nation...shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth." - Abraham Lincoln
best part is @7:20 when teh motor cycle cop pulls up next to other cop and says democracy i dont liek it it sucks and tehn goes on about hitting his sattle bat
i want occupy dc to know that i am in occupy nashville and that they have my full support. i am an occupy journalist and i wil not stop occupying until i am unable to move or am 6 feet under the ground. no matter what the authorities do to me i will never break down and stop nor will i give in. they can beat me. they can arrest me. they can pepper spray me. and still i will occupy. no matter what they do i will stand by you and wallstreet and the whole world's occupy. SOLIDARITY 99%
i think this might have restored some of my faith in the occupy movement after dealing with my local occupy that has turned into a camp of drunks and drug addicts.
it's a beautiful thing when real people rise up to try to correct the wrongs with our country.
@mattymoo hell yeah. I saw in there faces as well. At the hill one even used a mask. Many of them including the officers had the looks that you speak of.
@sunyaist I think that the upside down flag is an old maritime system. It's a distress signal to other nearby ships that you need help, or that something is wrong, or that there is an emergency.
To The World: This is the real America. The true American spirit not the evil that resides within temporarily. Please don't hate America just the gov.
No place I would have rather been january 17th. I met tons of great people and will never forget this day. It's definitely something I can truly be proud of, and am.
This is a fantastic video & we would love to use it as part of the occupation installation project running in Bristol UK this Spring.If you would be willing to submit it (either as it is, or reedited) we will make it part of a collaborative art event celebrating the occupation movement.
See more & submit files at the occupation installation website.
why don't the police stand by your side? i mean police are just like us, they'd help a lot instead of blocking the way. come on police, help us the people
An amazing video set to one of the worst songs I have ever heard in my life. I would love to share this with my friend's, but I couldn't last a whole minute with that soundtrack. It's beyond awful.
Amazing video. When the Supreme Court was 'Occupied' it sent shivers down my spine (In a good way!). Felt like it was an historic moment as the DC cops just had to stand back and let it happen, (they're usually swift to arrest any attempt at protest there but they knew they hadn't a hope of containing those numbers). The thunderous chant of, "Money, Is, Not, Free Speech" will live with me forever. :)
The fires of individual liberty is spreading across the globe. This fire cannot be extinguished by any weapon that the establishment possesses. We are winning, there is no possibility of failure. Freedom is not a privilege granted by government, it is granted by birth. We will not be held down, we will not be held back. The hope we all carry in our hearts will never be dimmed. The light of truth shines brighter each day, waking the sleeping masses and empowering every human being. Expect us.
Some good music, poetry and comedy performances at OccupyCongress are - understandably - passed over in a video like this. Look for them online. Some of my favorite moments of the day were on and around that little stage. Download my OccupySong at Reverb Nation dot com slash joenolan Watch the live video from OccupyCongress on YouTube by searching #J17 Occupy Congress : Joe Nolan
@joenolan13 right before we marched I preformed two pieces of poetry "America and Fuzzy Handcuffs" by my friend AJ, and "America the Beautiful" by myself, you can check out "America the Beautiful" at petuswriting.blogspot.com or at my youtube channel
"they" are panicked and afraid, you can see it on their faces, and I love it. They should be protecting US not a handful of elites, they know it and that's why you can see the confusing and even sometimes embarrassment in their eyes.
Great video. I actually teared up a little watching it. Powerful shit. Were the cops all actually cool this time around? No Lieutenant John Pike shit going on?
@BergenInc You mean Bloomberg's Private army?. The "cops" turned into rent a cops for Wall Street, preventing their fellow citizens from exercising their Constitutional rights? I like Obama's cops better than Bloomberg's. I know the C&C has disappointed us, but he's surely better than a Newt. :) I wonder what would happen to a tent encampment in DC over time.
Love the videography. I just disagree with labelling it an "official video"- not approved by a General Assembly, and therefore not really official Occupy video. But other than that its awesome. Solidarity!
@elkinginnetti The reason I titled it official was because, I seen alot of other videos that were titled occupy congress however they were not actual events of that day or had been posted days before this event. I will try to change it.
You have mad skills! The quality of this video is phenomenal. Congratulations! I posted a link to your video on my facebook page. If you have the time, I would love for you to post a comment on my page! facebook/StreetJusticeBrand Thank you for sharing this unbelievable experience in such a beautiful documentary! Shelly
Anything that gets the AM Talk Radio blo-hards foaming at the mouth is alright in my book. Too bad your Senators and Representatives value corporate dollars over doing whats in your interests. But, hey, we're living the republican/libertarian dream. You know, "I got mine so F-you!". Occupy the voting booth November 2012 send the Wall Street lackeys packing. D's and r's both.
I was the Guy Fawkes guy with the "Rise Up" sign at 00:23 Great video (a bit too many slo mo cop shots for me, lol) but thanks for including me in it. What an amazing day and night we all shared! Please check out my youtube channel for more raw footage from this day (and Zuccotti) and a link to my occupy blog.
@SFitzgeraldVA Saw your channel. Good stuff man. Next time I would like to interview you so our video can have more of an impact and documentary feel. Thanks for the support Mr. Fitzgerald.
@milio1108 me too .....they are helping the humans to unit against the bad governments that are trying to control us......WE THE PEOPLE UNITED WE STAND
congress you need to be cleaned there are so many bad one in there...John McCain Is one I know......of Phx Az
Im more than willing to fight and die for this country, not for the Government but for its people and for what Freedoms and Liberty's (we have left) and to help fight to get back the Freedoms and Liberty's that were taken from us by the Un-honest and the Greedy that have been placed in charge of our country. There once was a great Nation known as America... i would like to bring her back.
This is only the beginning... Prepare for REAL change and REAL results.
I found myself at about 3:10 in the first march. I'm the first protester in the march holding a green sign. It says "In solidarity with the 99% I'm offering Free Hugs" and the back said "for cops too ;)". But I could never get a cop to hug me.
Oh and i spotted my other sign (not me though, i guess I'm too short) at 8:07. it's the one cardboard one moving in rhythm to the chants "next to" the flag and behind the guy in the white beanie around the middle of the screen.
I live in MDV and have seen scores and scores of protests. I've never felt energy course through this mummified city like I did when I hit the streets with a few thousand protesters on #J17. I love you all! Don't forget to Occupy your nearest Federal Court tomorrow, folks!
" ditto" to what most of you said except @fuanon, homie get off the anti-semetic tip! for real dude! no one people are any more responsible for the mess we are in than others! great video, truly moving!
Peace for all, these are the peace bringers, WE are the peace bringers. If you do not believe in peace you are part of the problem. Stop the hate and bring in the Love people.
Video is great. Music made absolutely no sense in the lyrics (Everyday is a funeral? Wha??) but sounded nice. Kudos to all the brave souls who traveled such a long way to exercise their free speech rights and make a stand, and chronicle it for the rest of us. I am so tired of rethugnicans who keep insulting all the protesters and calling them lowlifes. I think this film does show things as they are. If people look ragged, it's the economy, STUPID!
The world hates America and Americans thanks to their leaders. the world hates jews because of their leaders, and the world knows now the leaders from America are controlled by jews. You can not hide any more. humanity has awakened. Welcome to a new and better world, as human beings, all as one. GAME OVER FOR THE CONTROLLERS.
thank you so much for making this video. i was in dc from 5 am on the 17th til 6 am on the 18th with a few of us from occupy norfolk, occupy va beach and occupy portsmouth. you did a beautiful job capturing such an important event <3
This will not be the last time we Occupy Congress. Expect us every time a politician shows their face in public. Expect us wherever inequality rears its ugly head. Expect us.
Thats great. Keep fighting. I just dont know if the socialism is the answer. Definitely not in a way I understand this expression. We need an absolute change of the current system and replace it with something new. Something that covers needs of all people and wouldnt be that wastful. A system, that would be righteous, where a true democracy would by implemented and people of every nation could really make a difference. No lies, no propagandas, only justice and honor. Lots of love from Slovakia
Look at all of the beautiful God sparks. Representatives of Prime Creator's essence exposing the light of I AM that I AM - standing tall and proud for all of U.S. Well, I, for one, am so proud of all of you! Thank you sweet patriots! You are the foundation of something great being constructed here... something bigger than ourselves. So much love!
people are beginning to recognize that the role they play is the role of a misinformed, subservient slave. The real reform will not take place within a government.....it will take place within the person that realizes what role a government has played in their life. Time to grow up
Twin, its me scrap... I was put on to this video, you did a hell of a job bro... Awesome editing, perfect song, strong content.... Your on your way my brotha! Keep up the good work... Always, remember that you got an oscar winning actor right here whenever your ready to hit the big screen! lol = P

Anything that gets the AM Talk Radio blo-hards foaming at the mouth is alright in my book. Too bad your Senators and Representatives value corporate dollars over doing whats in your interests. But, hey, we're living the republican/libertarian dream. You know, "I got mine so F-you!". Occupy the voting booth November 2012 send the Wall Street lackeys packing. D's and r's both.

I was the Guy Fawkes guy with the "Rise Up" sign at 00:23 Great video (a bit too many slo mo cop shots for me, lol) but thanks for including me in it. What an amazing day and night we all shared!

hello,
we, The Chimagels are supporters of the occupy we are the 99 percent movement.
So we composed, produced, played a song about it.
You can hear and download the song as often you like on youtube
We guess, it would be helpful to sing this song during demonstrations worldwide.
We guess, a common hymn or Anthem would be helpful for our targets
please click on the URL wearethe99percent1 below

Im more than willing to fight and die for this country, not for the Government but for its people and for what Freedoms and Liberty's (we have left) and to help fight to get back the Freedoms and Liberty's that were taken from us by the Un-honest and the Greedy that have been placed in charge of our country. There once was a great Nation known as America... i would like to bring her back.
This is only the beginning... Prepare for REAL change and REAL results.

I found myself at about 3:10 in the first march. I'm the first protester in the march holding a green sign. It says "In solidarity with the 99% I'm offering Free Hugs" and the back said "for cops too ;)". But I could never get a cop to hug me.
Oh and i spotted my other sign (not me though, i guess I'm too short) at 8:07. it's the one cardboard one moving in rhythm to the chants "next to" the flag and behind the guy in the white beanie around the middle of the screen.

I live in MDV and have seen scores and scores of protests. I've never felt energy course through this mummified city like I did when I hit the streets with a few thousand protesters on #J17. I love you all! Don't forget to Occupy your nearest Federal Court tomorrow, folks!

@UGetTheGasFace I completely agree. I don't have nearly as much experience with protests but that was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

Video is great. Music made absolutely no sense in the lyrics (Everyday is a funeral? Wha??) but sounded nice. Kudos to all the brave souls who traveled such a long way to exercise their free speech rights and make a stand, and chronicle it for the rest of us. I am so tired of rethugnicans who keep insulting all the protesters and calling them lowlifes. I think this film does show things as they are. If people look ragged, it's the economy, STUPID!

Thats great. Keep fighting. I just dont know if the socialism is the answer. Definitely not in a way I understand this expression. We need an absolute change of the current system and replace it with something new. Something that covers needs of all people and wouldnt be that wastful. A system, that would be righteous, where a true democracy would by implemented and people of every nation could really make a difference. No lies, no propagandas, only justice and honor. Lots of love from Slovakia

people are beginning to recognize that the role they play is the role of a misinformed, subservient slave. The real reform will not take place within a government.....it will take place within the person that realizes what role a government has played in their life. Time to grow up
