It's time that we really become globally, strategically organized. With the recent spate of evictions at key locations across the country and particularly today's bombshell on OWS at Zucotti Park, it is time we consider focusing some of our resources on achieving critical mass resistance like a laserbeam upon the most important places. That's what the Oligarchs are doing. While there is tremendous significane in having a tent city in every burg on the planet, it does mean that we are in part facillating their effort to divide and conquer. IMHO, maintaining occupations in key places like Wall Street and Washington, D.C. (K Street and Freedom Plaza; ultimately taking over the entire Mall en mass, from where we can then surround the Supreme Court, Capitol Building, White House and perhaps even the Pentagon) is absolutely critical to the entire worldwide movement.
While I work hard to help re-establish a physical camp for Occupy Salt Lake, with this morning's eviction on Manhattan, I am determined more than ever to do what I can to help us prove that we can't be p*wned by the Oligarchs in their two most important seats of power. I am 100% convinced that these two locations especially are so symbolically target-rich for demonstrations, they must be considered ground zero for the occupation.
Therefore, I recommend that we have someone mic check something like the following in every GA around the world:
I am repeating...
the following proposal...
at this local GA...
to further the cause...
of the Occupy movement...
locally...
nationally...
and globally...
This proposal...
is being considered...
at GA's...
across the country...
and around the world...
This proposal...
claims three truths...
and declares...
one worldwide...
immediate objective...
to establish and maintain...
a solid foundation...
upon which we will build...
global success...
After I recite...
this proposal...
we will determine...
if we can achieve...
consensus upon...
this proposal...
within this GA...
We will communicate...
the results...
of our discussion...
to the worldwide community...
and continue to collaborate...
on worldwide strategies
First...
We hold this truth...
to be self-evident:...
that we must...
occupy everywhere...
humanly possible...
across this land...
and around the globe...
to demonstrate solidarity...
with all people...
who are committed to ending...
worldwide plutocracy...
and its domination...
of our markets...
our media...
our governments...
our legislatures...
our courts...
our government executives...
our law enforcement...
our militaries...
our secret intelligence agencies...
and their secret war efforts...
against civilians...
and foreign armies...
to defeat opposition...
so they can make more money...
and protect themselves...
and their money...
Second...
We hold this truth...
to be self-evident:...
that occupied space...
public space...
held indefinitely...
everywhere...
is strategically vital...
and tactically fundamental...
to the Occupy movement...
to represent...
the commitment...
and solidarity...
of the 99%...
to nonviolently resist...
and ultimately overcome...
the plutocracy...
that withholds from us...
our rights...
and prevents us...
from obtaining justice...
the economic justice...
social justice...
and environmental justice...
for which we will fight...
until they're ours...
Third...
We hold this truth...
to be self-evident:
It is mission critical...
to the worldwide movement...
that the effort in the U.S...
is successful...
in maintaining occupations...
in the two most...
significant locations...
within the world's...
lone superpower...
These locations...
are most symbolic...
of our cause...
These locations are...
Wall Street...
where the plutocrats...
steal money...
from the 99%...
of thw world...
and Washington D.C...
where the government they buy...
and corrupt...
condones their thievery...
and protects them...
from receiving justice...
for their crimes...
against the 99%...
of the world...
Therefore...
While we continue to develop...
our local occupations...
We agree to support...
the occupations...
on Wall Street...
and in Washington D.C.
So we will do...
what we can...
to attend their meetings...
and their protests...
to recruit volunteers...
to send delegations...
to contribute money...
to send supplies...
to do all we can...
to secure...
these two vital occupations...
For upon their shoulders...
We will all...
Stand much taller...
Long live...
the occupation...
in solidarity...
for justice and peace...
for all...
It's long, but I think it's important to say it all if we want to get the results of worldwide support for this central, foundational strategy.
Once we are firmly entrenched in these two strategic locations, which frankly, may result in "game over"--at least for getting their unwavering, serious attention--we could target a few cities at a time to receive similar global support bombs in order to establish impenetrable beach heads across the country and on every continent and then in every country around the world.
Comments on this strategy and the mic check proposal welcome.
Viva l'Occupation!
