Occupiers Plan to Disrupt NYC Subways & Wall St. During Today‘s ’Day of Action’

NEW YORK (The Blaze/AP) — Two days after the encampment that sparked the global Occupy movement was cleared by authorities, demonstrators in New York City and around the country were promising mass gatherings Thursday in support of the cause.
(Update: See the latest updates on all the action and arrests)
The day of action had been planned before the city and park owners cracked down on the encampment in Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan, but took on added importance to the protesters after tents, tarps and sleeping bags were cleared out early Tuesday and the granite plaza was cleaned for the first time since the group arrived more than two months ago.
“We will get boots on the ground again,” said Rory Simpson, 29, who described himself as an itinerant activist as he made signs Wednesday evening. “This is not over yet.”
NBC New York reports:
OWS organizers announced the Day of Action on the Occupy Wall Street web site. It calls for protests throughout the city, beginning outside the New York Stock Exchange at 7 a.m., hitting 16 subway stations and transit hubs in all five bureaus at 3 p.m., ending with a protest outside of City Hall at 5 p.m.
Here‘s a video that’s been put together to promote today’s event:
Police will be on hand and transit officials were preparing to deal with a crush of people as part of the protest billed as a national day of action. The group announced that it would then fan out across Manhattan and head to subways, before gathering downtown and marching over the Brooklyn bridge. “Resist austerity. Rebuild the economy. Reclaim our democracy,” the group wrote in a news release.
CNN has more:
Occupy Wall Street protesters say they want Thursday to be a day of non-violent protests, although it comes a day after a demonstrator was arrested for making violent threats.
Nkrumah Tinsley, 29, was arrested for making terrorist threats and aggravated harassment on Wednesday evening in Zuccotti Park, where the movement was based, New York City police said.
The group wrote the following on its web site:
The occupation that began on the 17th of September in Zuccotti Park has proven that we still have a chance, as human beings, to unite and reform these corrupt structures, to cleanse our Government and restore our dignity. We will allow no rest and tranquility in our world until we finally achieve what we are dreaming of in our hearts. We will not stop until justice is restored, until democracy is recovered from behind the veil of political discourse, until the 99% are once again made rightful sovereign of their future, until the shadow of Wall Street is stripped of its darkness and its power. We will not stop moving forward until bankers and governments are held accountable for their crimes, until they respect every basic human right they trample on.
Similar protests were planned around the county. New York City officials said they had not spoken to demonstrators but were aware of the plans.
“The protesters are calling for a massive event aimed at disrupting major parts of the city,” Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson said. “We will be prepared for that.”
It’s not clear how many demonstrators would actually attend. Previous protests in New York have consisted of several hundred people.
The full schedule of the New York City protest is published on the Occupy web site.

Posted on November 17, 2011 at 7:54amIf you know that they are going to destroy other normal working people’s safety and lives then stop them using any means necessary. They have the right to free speech, that all, but these mentally disturbed animals (that’s the nicest thing I can think to call them) do not have the right to destroy property and prevent others from their rights such as earning a living and feeling safe in their land. (That’s why we have police with guns.) Their message is still unclear. If it is that they want other people‘s money tha’s illegal and immoral and if happens in this country then we who are moral, law biding and hard working are letting them destroy us. We have to fight back even though it is not in our nature. This Obama devil and his cronnies must be stopped.

Posted on November 17, 2011 at 8:02pm“until the 99% are once again made rightful sovereign of their future” Does he even know what that means? Well… maybe someone should tell him that it means that in a federal system of government, (Which is what the U.S. ia) sovereignty also refers to powers which a constituent state or republic (a republic, which is what the U.S. USED to be – and now it’s a Democracy) possesses independently of the national government.
The last 6 words (very important) means that the states are independent of the Federal Gvt. – like it was designed to be based on our constitution. It is NOT that the Federal GVT provide everything for us. The states have independent rights so if you know the constitution, then you know that the Federal Gvt has very little power. Or was supposed to have little. And the handful of rights, jurisdiction and mandated duties the Federal Gvt DOES have… they completely abandon and generally suck at performing.
And this moron doesn’t even know what his rights are! Surely he would remember that he has God Given rights? Right! He needs to go back and learn what our entire system was based on. Dumbass.

Exaxtly. They’re hash tagging #N17 on twitter. What is N17? November 17th. Why is that significant?
November 17th, 1903: The Russian Social Democratic Labor Party splits into two groups; the Bolsheviks (Russian for “majority”) and Mensheviks (Russian for “minority”).
They’re the 99% (the Bolsheviks) and they’re calling for a Soviet-style revolution, complete with people being dragged into the streets and shot dead for the crime of being wealthy.

We are seeing the next cycle of engagement being set up right now in this massive game.

I would suggest an all-expense paid trip to an exclusive gated community in the Caribbean… Camp Delta, Gitmo, where they can enjoy sports like water boarding and rock to the beat of highly amplified music 24 hours a day. The trip includes transportation, lodging, meals and even brightly colored appropriate clothing.
