RE: Occupy Wall Street had it Right: The Movement That Actually Frightened the Deep State
I wanted to be there so bad but I was in japan at the time, one of e few places where the movement failed to take off. Part of his was due to the anti nuke movement after the big earthquake which I did take part in, also around 40,000 people if I remember correctly, also 4000 as quoted by the media.
The the thing is, occupy didn't fail, it just slowed down and went underground. Besrnie sanders would not have become a household name. That is just the most obvious result, many topics that were once taboo are no acceptable to talk about in public.
I was lucky to meet some of the core people of a certain city, they are still doing amazing things, More productive things than they were doing before 2011.
So nice to know that you were there.
Interestingly enough, while at Occupy, I was interviewed by two separate Japanese reporters. You may have actually have seen me on the news!
Haha I was too busy worrying about radiation poisoning. I did keep up with the live streams from inside the camp though and was quite active in the chat
How many times did you make it out there?
Had to be ten trips up to NYC. We even sent a couple pizzas to the guys in D.C. with confirmation that they got them. Those must've been stressful times in Japan.
That was another red pill moment for me, the way the media covered the earthquake as well as the way they covered Wikileaks and occupy, oh man, I knew they bent the truth, I just never realized how much you could bend it without blatantly lying sometimes, though I'm sure they do that too.
