Occupy Wall Street Protesters Regroup After Morning Raid on Zuccotti Park
J.A. Myerson, Truthout: 'In the smallest hours of the morning, with no warning or apparent provocation, hundreds of New York Police Department (NYPD) officers, some from the department s counterterrorism unit, many in riot gear, demolished thousands of dollars of private property, including a 5,000-volume library; beat and arrested a large number of peacefully protesting citizens, including credentialed journalists and democratically-elected public officials; and in the process, violated not just the First and Fourth Amendments to the US Constitution, a document they are sworn to uphold, but also a court injunction. Tens of thousands watched the live stream as it broadcast protesters scrambling to comply with the instructions of police officers, who declined to issue a timeframe, electing instead to warn and immediately invade.'

Oakland Mayor Jean Quan Admits Cities Coordinated Crackdown on Occupy Movement
Gregg Levine, Capitoilette: 'Embattled Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, speaking in an interview with the BBC (excerpted on The Takeaway radio program - audio of Quan starts at the 5:30 mark), casually mentioned that she was on a conference call with leaders of 18 US cities shortly before a wave of raids broke up Occupy Wall Street encampments across the country. 'I was recently on a conference call with 18 cities across the country who had the same situation....' Mayor Quan then rambles about how she 'spoke with protestors in my city' who professed an interest in 'separating from anarchists,' implying that her police action was helping this somehow.'

Smear Campaigns Fuel Shutdowns of Occupations Across Country
Michael Corcoran, Truthout: 'A new and vicious smear campaign against the Occupy movement is in full swing. The narrative of this campaign is to portray the movement as a hotbed for violent crime and danger. This false narrative, if it sticks, could prompt more city and town officials across the country to shut down occupations, as the City of New York has attempted to do just this morning, and weaken the movement. This cannot be tolerated.'

Media Coverage Fails to Tell the Personal Stories of Occupy Protesters
Rose Aguilar, Truthout: 'Occupy movements in small towns across the United States are multiplying in size, but it s all too rare to hear the voices of the people taking part, even in local media outlets. There is no official site compiling the number of Occupy locations across the country, but according to this Occupy Spreadsheet, there are 38 movements across the state of California and that s not counting camps in large cities.'

This Morning at Occupy Wall Street
Matt Renner, Truthout: 'This morning, I watched lower Manhattan turn into a militarized lockdown. The park known as Liberty Square was apparently cleared by force, though I arrived 20 minutes after the police barricades encircled a two-block radius, kicked out all media and prevented all foot traffic on public sidewalks surrounding the park. This was expected. The emergency text message went out at 1:00 AM and read, 'URGENT: Hundreds of police mobilizing around Zuccotti. Eviction in progress!' prompting a mass mobilization of people like me, part-time protesters who signed up to converge on the park for the looming police raid on the physical heart of the Occupy movement.'

Arundhati Roy: Occupy Wall Street Is 'So Important Because It Is in the Heart of Empire'
Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'Renowned Indian writer and global justice activist Arundhati Roy is preparing to address Occupy Wall Street on Wednesday.... 'What they are doing becomes so important because it is in the heart of empire, or what used to be empire,' Roy said. 'And to criticize and to protest against the model that the rest of the world is aspiring to is a very important and a very serious business. So ... it makes me very, very hopeful that after a long time you are seeing some nascent political, real political anger here.'

The day after Occupy Wall Street began on September 17, GOP budget chief and austerity ideologue Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) warned on Fox News: 'Class warfare will simply divide this country more, [it] will attack job creators.' The two events were not related (the media was ignoring the protesters), but their contrasting messages reaffirmed a reality of American life: The elites - the real instigators of class warfare - inhabit a different universe than the rest of us...
