Glad to see some coming out to defend the 99%.

Bloomberg-

BlackRock Inc. (BLK) Chief Executive Officer Laurence D. Fink, head of the world’s largest asset manager, said he understands the concerns of protesters speaking out against financial firms in New York and other cities.

“The protesting is a statement the future is very clouded for a lot of people,” Fink, 58, said yesterday during an event in Toronto. “These are not lazy people sitting around looking for something to do. We have people losing hope and they’re going into the street, whether it’s justified or not.”

Since the media ignores coverage from these peaceful protestors and hardly any birds eye view from up above, let this serve as an example to you all that it’s taken hold. Please watch as the angle zooms out to witness just how far it goes…

These peaceful protestors do not deserve this.

A NYPD Officer on Wall Street bragging “My little nightstick’s going to get a workout tonight”

“It’s time for all Americans to pay their fair share.”

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Louise Slaughter, Ranking Member of the House Rules Committee, today released the following statement on the three-week old “Occupy Wall Street” movement that began in New York City and is rapidly spreading across the country.

“For thirty years, America’s middle class has watched its living standards erode while the wealthiest one percent amass fortunes that would make the Robber Barons blush. The gap between the haves and have not’s continues to widen in the wake of the 2008 recession, precipitated by the banking industry. Yet we are told we cannot afford to raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires to pay for better roads and help close this deficit? That’s not right. It’s time for all Americans to pay their fair share. And I’m so proud to see the Occupy Wall Street movement standing up to this rampant corporate greed and peacefully participating in our democracy.”

Excellent Coverage…

Al Jazeera English–

In the two weeks since activists with Occupy Wall Street began protesting in New York, the movement has gained traction nationwide with events in almost every major U.S. city. Meanwhile, more mainstream allies are joining the cause, including unions, members of Congress, celebrities, pundits, and academics.

Demonstrators and sympathisers oppose “corporate greed and corrupt politics,” the “gangsterism of Wall Street,” and the disproportionate effect the global economic downturn has had on “the other 99 percent.”

In a sign that the movement is gaining traction, some of New York’s biggest labour unions have now joined protestors (or are planning to join later this week). The city’s 38,000-member transit union pledged its support and is planning to encourage members to join the street demonstrations early next week. Unions representing teachers, doormen, security guards, maintenance workers, postal workers, healthcare workers, and other labour sectors have also pledged support and hinted at future involvement.

Organisers hope that union involvement will swell the ranks of protestors from a few hundred to a few thousand, though it remains unclear whether organisers will be able to reach their initial goal of 20,000 on-the-ground activists in New York City.

Now will you look at this, Soon Wall Street will begin to see the impact the college students are making at their door steps. Don’t under estimate the power of the people! They are spreading like a fierce wild fire.

I can tell you from experience it’s not easy spreading the word, “trying” to stop corruption and greed, it takes a team of bloggers, sacrifice, determination, long long hours, organization and most importantly… we count on YOU to continue to spread our blogs like …wild fire.

We did this together.

HuffPO-

New York City labor unions are preparing to back the unwieldy grassroots band occupying a park in Lower Manhattan, in a move that could mark a significant shift in the tenor of the anti-corporate Occupy Wall Street protests and send thousands more people into the streets.

The Transit Workers Union Local 100’s executive committee, which oversees the organization of subway and bus workers, voted unanimously Wednesday night to support the protesters. The union claims 38,000 members. A union-backed organizing coalition, which orchestrated a large May 12 march on Wall Street before the protests, is planning a rally on Oct. 5 in explicit support. And SEIU 32BJ, which represents doormen, security guards and maintenance workers, is using its Oct. 12 rally to express solidarity with the Zuccotti Park protesters.

Keith and “Countdown” contributor and Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi discuss how the current Occupy Wall Street protest could sprout a much larger movement for reform. Taibbi also compares the media coverage of this protest to the coverage of the tea party.

Simply Amazing! Now if we can only get these Pilots & USPS to team up with #OCCUPYWALLSTREET and … create beautiful music…

Some eventually will wake up too late.

Filmmaker and author Michael Moore was a guest on “Piers Morgan Tonight” this evening, and he talked about the “Occupy Wall Street” protest, 2012 politics and more. “I do well,” Moore told Piers Morgan. But: “We reward people for making money off money, and moving money around and dividing up mortgages a thousand times over, selling it to China…and it becomes this shell game.”

Of the current state of the America: “None of the major religions, in fact they all, say it’s one of the worst sins you could commit, is to take such a large piece of the pie while others suffer.” And of the Wall Street protests: “It’s starting. It’s down there right now on Wall Street. It starts with the young people…it’s going to spread across the country.”
