The Face of a Revolution

If I hear anything from any of my friends or relatives about this just being Hippies and Losers with no concrete message again I might explode. You fucking unimaginative cowards, of course many of the first people to join a movement are going to be those most marginalized, or those already in conflict with the government. That includes homeless gutter punks, shiftless hippies, thespians, artists and yes, some anarchists, and even people with mental illness. Who were you expecting, John Adams and Paul Revere? Who do you think began the shit storm in Tahrir Square?? It was students and women, and then the rest of the nation joined in. Just as those are joining the Wall Street Revolution as we speak, in every city across this molding nation. Fifty thousand people last night!

I don't know one single person who disagrees with the message of Occupy Wall Street, not one. I've read a few rants by bankers and politicians, but I've yet to meet some one who thinks the level of Corporate power in our government and what Wall Street firms did to our economy with impunity isn't outrageous. See the root of that; Outrage!! Where is yours?

Now, I'm going to get a little more into what has been happening and why people think the Lotion Man is Occupy Wall Street. You see, the movement is ALL encompassing, meaning these sentiments are shared by all, from Ron Paul supporters to Hari Krishnas to even nihlistic, homeless gutter punks and probably, even you. Now, a lot of these people crave the spot light, and I would venture to guess, attention is something that's been lacking in their lives, as they are homeless. The main stream media is more than willing to put their crazy talk out to the masses, because that just gives you more reason to stay home in your condo, and watch Dancing with the Stars instead of joining in solidarity. We know that you feel powerless and that your vote doesn't matter. We all lost hope with the fizzling of Obama's fortitude. But what these crazy, awesome people down in Liberty Plaza in Wall Street are giving you is your voice back. This is your chance to find your power and express your voice. Washington DC and the status quo are quaking in their boots right now. It is time to be the New Revolution, and the sooner you join, the better you will feel about yourself.

The Wall Street Revolution will be televised, but those broadcasts will always tell their Big Money loving side of the story. The only way you will know what it is all about is to go for yourself, or to seek out more information. BP oil is still washing ashore in the Gulf of Mexico, today. Really. When's the last time you heard about that? BP gave Obama more money than ANY other politician in history. Is that the kind of democracy you want to live in? Me either. Joining the Wall Street Revolution does not have to mean taking to the streets. You can send supplies, you can write your elected officials in support, or you can just talk about it in public, and help stir the pot. It will happen with or without you, I'm just trying to re-awaken in you what it feels like to be human and to own your own destiny and to feel, and to turn your hopelessness, anger or despondency into a constructive force that will help re-shape this once great nation into something that resembles what our fore-fathers and so many soldiers have sacrificed so much for. It's in our hands.
