Up The Flagpole

In one fell swoop, Hollywood Elsewhere has significantly altered the imbalance between the greedy haves and the desperate have-nots. By going down to Zuccotti Park (Broadway and Liberty Street) this afternoon and taking pictures of the Occupy Wall Street crowd and posting them, I’ve…well, at least helped somewhat. Storm the barricades!

  1. The Repubs made this a partisan issue with the whole “Rich = Job Creator” bullshit meme they have pushed repeatedly to stonewall taxing their cronies.

    But we – those of us in the 99% – should thank the them for this lie and hammer them back on it again and again – Where are the jobs, Job Creators? Where are the jobs, Job Creators? – until they break.

    The Red State eloi might actually be able to grasp a point this simple and just maybe not vote against their own interests. Yeah, right…

  2. That’s fucking hilarious, Jeff…I was there, must have been same time you were, going to NYU Medical (111 Broadway) to see my doctor. Passed right by those damn hippies and wondered if they were patronizing the Pret a Manger a little up the block.

  3. Yes, it’s captialism when these companies work with the government and are paid to cover their losses. The sad part about these protests is that the majority of these people think the government is the key to solving it, when they are just as complicit and even more corrupt

  4. The “Fox News” television camera at the :23 second mark isn’t the right kind of camera, and everyone knows it. Maybe in the eventual news coverage it will look correct… but even in a trailer-length look at the protest such as this, I can’t believe they didn’t use an HDV200ae. I noticed that right away.

  5. Actionlover, once again contributing nothing to the discussion but smug remarks. What exactly are you trying to indirectly suggest? That the exploited and disenfranchised just sit back and take it?

    Why Jeff hasn’t banned you yet I dont know. When the HE revolution comes you’ll be the first up against the firewall.

  6. Guy who contributes “nothing” > Guy who constantly gets butthurt over the comments of the guy who contributes “nothing”

    Guess some people don’t know how to scroll.

  7. I’m in Chicago and it lhasn’t hit us yet, but what’s the point if you don’t have an end goal? Just a bunch of people holding signs and marching. What do they expect to get from all this? For one, they should have tables up where people can register to vote.

    I guess this is homage to the Wisconsin movement against Scott Walker — occupying a street or a state house, but at least those folks had an end goal. What can these NYers do? It makes for good TV for sure.

  8. I’m in Los Angeles, and from what I know they haven’t been protesting in front of our Wall Street, either. Guess it’s a matter of time.

  9. The only Wall Street protest I’ve ever felt strongly enough to participate in was last year, when I picketed outside of WALL STREET 2: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS. I figured there would be a bunch of people there with me on opening night… but I was the only one. Still, I like to think my evening of protesting had something to do with the weaker than expected box office.

    Stone should have left well enough alone — how do you make a sequel to a legitimate American classic like that? But I’ll get over my outrage. Eventually.

  10. JohnCope: If you’re going to hold mass protests like this, at least have tables where people can register to vote in the upcoming election. For whom? Doesn’t NY have a election date in 2012, new mayor? What about registering to vote for the Presidency? I betcha most of those folks have never ever voted in their lives.

  11. “I betcha most of those folks have never ever voted in their lives.”

    Aren’t a good portion of them not New Yorkers?

  12. For all the doubters on this post I got news for you…this will spread as long as we have 9.1 percent unemployment. You have veterans from Iraq coming home jobless. College grads only options are 2 year unpaid internships. Banks charging hidden fees. Tax breaks for the top one percent. And a housing crisis still unsolved. The protests are small and you have the hippy element making a show of it with cliche ridden exhibition practices, but the pain is real and slowly building.

  13. Good timing for Citibank and BofA to announce they’ll now be charging monthly fees for the “privilege” of using their debit cards.

  14. These protesting scum are just as clueless, confused, and intellectually bankrupt as the Tea Party rubes.

    Protesting is for losers.
