Alexander Higgins, who has been keeping us abreast with developments
relating to the Wall Street protests says it’s Game On, as union leadership is now getting heavily
involved in Occupy Wall Street:
The plot thickens as more unions pledge support to
the Occupy Wall Street movement and a collective group with 1 million members
expected to march against the machine.
As I previously reported unions
are coming out in full force to support the Occupy Wall Street protests. We received news that the 200,000 member strong
Transportation Workers Union would be joining the protests. The Teamster’s union endorsed the protests. Rumors of
Verizon workers joining the protests. A scathing endorsement was issued by
the Industrial Workers Union has also endorsed the Occupy Wall Street
protests. Then news that several more unions had committed to or were contemplating
joining the protests, while two the unions scheduled solidarity marches.
Now TPM reports even more unions are joining up to
protest against Wall Street and the movement is set to grow rapidly.
The article also comes along with the news that a
collective of 8 groups, with over 1 million members will be joining the
Occupy Wall Street movement to show solidarity and march against the machine.
…
The other eight organizations expected to join in
the October 5 rally, based on its Facebook page, are United NY, Strong Economy for All Coalition,
Working Families Party, VOCAL-NY, Community Voices Heard, Alliance for
Quality Education, New York Communities for Change, Coalition for the
Homeless, which have a collective membership of over 1 million.

There will undoubtedly be an interesting mix of
individuals on the ground in New York on October 5th. Third party libertarian
types have never mixed very well with unions, but perhaps Americans will be
able to unite behind a single cause rather than be manipulated into conflict
by mainstream talking pieces at the behest of political operatives.
We’re not holding our breath, but this is a good start.
As we suggested in American
Powder Keg: New Black Panther Chairman Declares “The Hour of War Is At
Hand” much of
America is disgusted in the direction we’re headed, evidenced by the 81% of Americans who say they are
not satisfied with the
governance of the country. We’re all in this together:
The majority of America is not happy and
they’ve lost hope, because regardless of what group you identify with,
what color you are or what way you lean politically, you’re losing
jobs, falling behind on essential bills, having difficulty putting food on
the table and are constantly being accosted by government on all levels.
The challenge is not so much getting people
motivated – because you can be assured that as this crisis deepens,
millions will have no choice but to head to the streets for the reasons
outlined above. The problem we face is that we are dealing with politicians
and business leaders who have no other motive than power and money, and they will
do anything and everything necessary in order to deflect blame. Thus,
they’ll need a scapegoat(s), as we suggested
previously:
When the riots start – and they will –
the core motivators for individuals who hit the streets will be similar.
Where the difference will arise is who each person or group will blame. Those
elites in the upper echelons of our command and control apparatus thrive on
hate, confusion and panic, and they will use our own ignorance against us.
When we discuss the coming civil disobedience and
unrest in America, we may find ourselves visualizing protests where the
people join together to oust a tyrannical government. Be forewarned. This is
not the most likely outcome – at least not at the outset. With so many different ideologies in this country, every one of us interprets
the problems and directs blame a different way. These differences will be
used against us; they’ll be used to turn us against each other.
As has been the case throughout history, and most
certainly in recent protests and riots around the world, the powers that be will
likely utilize agent Provocateurs to wreck havoc in
an attempt to discredit the message of the people. Because of the differing
backgrounds and world views at any given rally (especially one like Occupy
Wall Street), it wouldn’t take much to create
conflicts and clashes. Many of those who will be out in force on October 5th
and at the many coming assemblies, rallies, and riots that we’ll see in
America’s future will be myrmidons taking orders from their respective
political, union or organization leaders. Thus, these engagements will not
come without risk. There is always the danger that people will be misguided,
misinformed, and misdirected, eventually turning on themselves.
It’s great that Americans are taking to the
streets to effect real change. One million people is
a big number, despite the media feigning ignorance to the fact the Wall
Street protests are even happening. This is how it starts. It is our hope
that the people carry through with the original intent of the movement and
focus their energy on the problem – unregulated greed and corruption on
Wall Street and within the halls of Congress – rather than each other.
