Thanks for your reporting. It seems to have fizzled, I guess. The most interesting thing was that the media ignored them. Probably for the best, altho I do think it was a *story*. Small perhaps, but a story.
Yes, I believe it has fizzled. I did catch it a bit last night and this morning. Numbers continue to drop in attendance, and in views on live stream.
They kept pointing out that they were demonstrating to America how to do “real” democracy. And they are right...they are showing “real” democracy and how ineffective it truly is! That’s why the founding fathers set up a republic. Individuals do not want to lump together as a whole. It’s fine in a crisis, but a pain in the neck overall.
What struck me as most interesting, as they “stormed” Wall Street today and about 100 or so of them blocked the foot traffic into the main area, is that the people going in to Wall Street area to do their daily jobs, showed a great deal more diversity in race than the “revolutionaries” who are trying to “equalize” the landscape of corporate America.
Plenty of irony to go around. Anyway, thanks for following with me! I learned a lot about psychological tactics used in crowd control from the progressive facilitators.
And though I am not from NY, I have to say, NYPD is the finest!!! I loved watching their careful and professional work. They set the bar high!! Hats off to them! I can see why they are considered heroes in their city.
Oh, and one final note, and then I’ll quit blathering...I observed that within the crowd their were equally trained crowd controllers who were there to disrupt the group and turn it to chaos. It was remarkable to watch them subtly work, and to see how devastatingly affective they were. They will always be this effective because it is more natural for humans to think as individuals.
Back in the 70’s, hippies were able to make more progress because conservatives had not delved into the psychological aspect of things. We have now, and we won’t get the wool pulled over our eyes quite so quickly this time around.
