They're chatting up a "world occupy Philadelphia" from July thru October of 2012 ..... I'm dusting off my tour guide hat now - and of course discounts will be afforded to all PS.com membership.
Sounds like they need uniforms and photo ID badges, if it is the homeless and not (as I suspect) their fellow haters ripping them off.

The anarchists should love that concept.

This reminds me of the Hare Krishnas you used to see in airports. They would beg for money, give the money to their overseers, then be given a pittance for their own needs. I think this bunch is starting to fray at the edges.

Egypt's Top 'Facebook Revolutionary' Now Advising Occupy Wall Street
By Spencer Ackerman
Danger Room
Wired.com
October 18, 2011

One of the key activists behind Egypt's "Facebook Revolution" is now giving advice to a new group of protesters: the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The protesters in New York's Zuccotti Park - and their offshoots around the country - often cite the mass demonstrations earlier this year in Cairo's Tahrir Square as their inspiration. So maybe it shouldn't be much of a surprise that Ahmed Maher, one of the leading figures in those Egyptian protests, has been corresponding for weeks with the Occupy Wall Streeters, whom he calls "our brothers."

Maher is one of the founders of the April 6 Youth, which used Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to galvanize Egyptians against President Hosni Mubarak.
Recently, however, his attention has turned toward America, where he's been chatting online with Occupy activists. Those conversations center around practical advice from a successful Egyptian revolutionary. Usually, they occur through Facebook. On Tuesday, for the first time, they happened face to face.

"We talk on the internet about what happened in Egypt, about our structure, about our organization, how to organize a flash mob, how to organize a sit-in," Maher tells Danger Room, and "how to be non-violent with police."

------------
Is he gonna give them lessons in layering too?

Police clear protesters near Oakland's City Hall

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – Police in riot gear began clearing anti-Wall Street protesters on Tuesday morning from the plaza in front of Oakland's City Hall where they have been camped out for about two weeks.

Television news footage showed numerous people in plastic cuffs being led away from the site by police around 5 a.m. The protesters did not appear to be resisting.

A message for a police spokeswoman was not immediately returned.

City officials had originally been supportive of the protesters, with Oakland Mayor Jean Quan saying that sometimes "democracy is messy."

But the city later warned the protesters that they were breaking the law and could not stay in the encampment overnight.

They cited concerns about rats, fire hazards, public urination and acts of violence at the site, which had grown to more than 150 tents and included health, child-care and kitchen areas.

But protesters over the weekend said they had no plans to leave.

Telegraph 'evicted' from St Paul's Occupy London camp as the mood turns

Telegraph 'evicted' from St Paul's Occupy London camp as the mood turns

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/f...ood-turns.html

From the Brit's side of the pond. The video is a hoot.

"The camp forced St Paul's to close for the first time since the Blitz and is costing local businesses thousands of pounds a day.

But footage shot by The Daily Telegraph on a thermal imaging camera appeared to show most of the dozens of tents in the cathedral churchyard were empty. And when the remaining protesters realised what The Telegraph was attempting to verify this, the mood turned ugly................................"

Cafe Laid Off 21 Workers Because of Occupy Wall Street, Owner Says

Irony doesn't get any purer than this:

http://occupywallst.org/forum/milk-street-cafe/

Original story: http://www.dnainfo.com/20111101/down...py-wall-street

I have eaten there a few times, and once at their Boston location, good food a bit pricey though. This is quite sad as many Kosher eateries left downtown after 9/11 with the mass financial services exodus at the same time...

Wonder how many of these protesters played competitive sports as children.
(The type where only the winners get awards, not everyone who showed up)

We are seeing the end results of the "self-esteem" movement.
These idiots think that if they want something badly enough, then they deserve it.

Misery loves company.
If they can't have the prize, then neither can anyone else.

Nothing more than a bunch of sore losers.

'Free Love' At 'Occupy Wall Street' Site Prompts Mass STD Testing

'Free Love' At 'Occupy Wall Street' Site Prompts Mass STD Testing

Protesters Flocking To Nearby Health Clinics

Updated: Tuesday, 01 Nov 2011, 10:42 AM EDT
Published : Tuesday, 01 Nov 2011, 10:42 AM EDT

By New York Post


NEW YORK - "Occupy Wall Street" protesters are flocking to nearby health clinics for sexually-transmitted disease (STD) and HIV testing after getting their freak on in ’60s-style hookups with crusty strangers, sources said.

“Last week was free love,” a medical professional at a nearby clinic said, referring to the number of people who organizers referred for STD testing.

A volunteer at Zuccotti Park admitted concern among protesters about STDs. “We give directions to clinics if people ask for information regarding STDs,” the volunteer, who identified himself only as “Captain,” said, adding that pregnancy tests are also a hot item.

“Like anything else, it happens. People ask, and we do the best we can for them,” he added.

Volunteers at the medical tent hand out cash, usually $15 or $20, so the randy radicals can visit clinics that cater to a low-income clientele, the source said.

Experts said it is the right thing to do. “My advice for the protesters would be to practice safer sex,” according to Lisa Oldson, medical director of Chicago-based Analyte Health. "It's a lot cheaper to buy a condom than get treated for an STD."

Meanwhile, more than 100 protesters joined Monday night’s Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village, with several dressed as “corporate zombies.”

The STD mess is just another symptom of the sickness infecting these maggots. They are costing tax payers millions. As far as I am concerned, let the officers do their routine patrol. These idiots deserve no special treatment. If they get in trouble, they can call 911 like everyone else. If they destroy property or commit a crime, arrest them like any other criminal. Other than that, let them sit there and stew in their own mess.
