Editor’s Note: The chatrooms associated with the below video feeds are not managed by The Blaze. These tools are overseen and run by the Occupy Movement and, thus, they may contain unpleasant language and themes.
The day of reckoning has arrived. As The Blaze has extensively reported, today, the Occupy Movement will stage its purportedly massive May Day protests. It’s an important initiative for the so-called 99 percent, as they attempt to reinvigorate the popularity and prominence of their fledgling movement.
Today, the Occupiers will attempt to stage a “general strike,” which essentially means that the protesters are calling for inaction in the workplace, schools — even shopping centers, as The Blaze’s Buck Sexton noted yesterday.
So far, the day has started out rainy and dreary here in New York City, the catalyst for and the hub of the Occupy Wall Street protests. But that hasn’t stopped protesters from coming out to begin their May Day festivities. There’s no indication of how many will show up to make their voices heard, but the day is certainly slated to be intriguing.
For a live, real-time look into what’s going on during May Day in New York City and other cities across the country, see a live stream of the Global Revolution feed, below (for a live camera feed of Bryant Park, one of the protest locations in NYC, click here):
Here’s a separate NYC feed that features marches and other live events:
The official Occupy Los Angeles feed can be viewed below as well:
You can view the Occupy San Francisco feed, below:
Below, find yet another Bay Area feed:
And here’s the live feed from Occupy Washington D.C.:
Stay tuned for more live feeds as the day progresses.

Posted on May 1, 2012 at 11:22amWDITTGAS….that’s why OWS is doing this. History teaches us that when these kinds of “movements” lose momentum and sputter to halt…they have to get more confrontational and violent to retain media attention. OWS is behaving exactly the same way their lefty predecessors have behaved. The media here wants to paint OWS in a positive light but OWS keeps defeating (or is that defecating on?) itself. This is why OWS instigators Stephen Lerner for instance keep pleading for the tea parties to join them. It’s for two purposes..to give OWS credibility by being in proximity to the tea parties or to start a confrontation which they know the media will stack against the tea parties. I applaud the tea parties for their intelligence and strategic thinking and avoiding being anywhere near OWS. But make no mistake…OWS knows it’s dead and has to create more disruption and violence in order to keep the media interested. This is text book communist/anarchist behaviour.

Posted on May 1, 2012 at 11:47amYesterday I read an article where OWS took over a garden spot in the Bay area of California. Said they were tired of this space not being used to feed the masses. It just wasn’t right that this piece of private property should not be occupied by the folks that knew how the world should really be. “ No private property”, they said. ” We’ll just take it over from its rightful owners”. Amazingly, the first order of business for them was to erect a “No Trespassing” sign of their own. Does hypocrite come to mind?? I guess this is what their form of Democracy looks like.

Marxism gets a little fizzy for some, but its current iteration is explained, very good vid.. watch it and pass it on to those that don’t quite get it. It is the best I have seen, Marxism is rooted in hate and envy and desires not equality but “sameness” and always leads to mass murder and genocide.
