Occupy shipwrecks ports on West Coast

Protesters staged occupations across the United States this morning as part of a coast-to-coast day of action aimed to shut down shipping ports all over the US. Starting in the early morning hours, demonstrators waged protests up and down the West Coast in one of the most wide-impact attacks on the one percent yet. Ali Winston, Ramon Galindo and Lucy Kafanov weigh in from California and DC to discuss the events of the day.

[OccupyLoveNow]

The economy based on unsustainable and unfair practices will be dismantled by this movement and others sooner than most expect. The NEW economy is based on sustainability, fairness, true democracy freedom and Love. Sounds idealistic, but it is what the majority of the people truly want when they get real with themselves and as more awaken from the debt slavery and consumerism they have been addicted to and perpetuated (that is almost ALL of us) life will improve...but not before that occurs.

Too bad they aren't more knowledgable about economics. I think it would be really great if they were occupying the ports to demand tariffs.

@califradmt "Wake up or get out of the way"?

Sounds like an ultimatum to me. The Jingoists and Nationalists such as yourself are the ones who'd better wake up.  It's that separatist identification, that flag waiving disgusting behavior which allows predatory institutions to flourish. Divide and Conquer allows for a self controlling environment to bottle up and silence the non-conformists.

The more people like yourself, the more taxes, arbitrary laws, civil rights abuses and so on can be imposed.

@Thrashaero Some freaks showed up. For all we know, they were hired by Fox news. The cops are said to be directing the situation from the sidelines, infiltrating and sending in the troublemakers in town, to stir it up a notch. It's a game now but in the end, we'll see just what kind of men the cops are. Evolving quickly, dollar/market collapse, it will leave Americans in the gutter, rich and poor. America is about to be destabilized. IMF to the rescue (or Fed, same thing), new currency.
