With few exceptions, the groups pledging to take part on October 6 aren’t exactly known for Weather Underground-caliber violence, but they’re also not known for reasonableness and restraint.

I’ve been watching the wall street version of this on live feed. So far I’ve learned by listening to their chatter, that the computer operators are paid to work this “grass roots” protest, that there is a moderator who watches the live stream and tells them to stop certain things like cussing and smoking on air and tells them to do certain things like contact people or put the word out on something.
They have a UPS office set up to receive donations of money and supplies. People from various countries have come in. A guy spoke one day who said, “While I was living in Egypt during the revolution...” so these are people who were involved with the “grass roots” “arab spring.”
So far, not many general Americans are paying attention to them because of the media black-out. This is no doubt intentional, as they are in an organizational/training phase. They are very closely following the Arab spring pattern. The middle east was a good testing ground. They know where the kinks are, and they are getting things stream-lined.
There are already what I think of as “bases” in operation in Chicago, LA, and I think Portland (not sure about that.) There may be others. I know they were calling for Little Rock, but it’s a harder area to work, for some reason. They have been moving quickly to get others going. Funds and supplies are coming in and they keep a running list of what their needs are going over live stream.
Mean while, Iran is moving its Navy into the Pacific, and the recent black out in the Arizona/California area left crucial boarder crossing areas in the dark for several hours....plenty of time for troops to move quietly across the Mexican boarder without being detected.
Just a few observations from a basically uninformed gal.
