sell me a new strap people. like. cub. and his nose was bleeding when the cops on all the spoof it yeah it's it's unfortunate you know it's it's always a system produces yeah. and the press first spread exam. they don't like to make the connections that we're now descending into a police state yeah yeah yeah now they'll never know it's really like the neo liberals like they want less government except a bigger police yet right if you are using women's bodies yeah if they want to be more intrusive on everything except you know. social services sure you know the stuff that actually makes differences in people's lives. such as.

six six six six six six six six six six six six six six. oh here. he says he. does it all over. love love love love again let's just say. i can. see becomes to be such. a keep out of. this is

such. yeah. please please please. please. please. please i. know it's like. you know and. you know what. the purpose of today's march against police brutality and basically the n.y.p.d. is using the onus of protecting us from terrorists to create

a police state. they are here to protect the public so just one of the many absurd ironies of this march against police brutality with the police themselves are being brutalized i believe by the forces that are putting them in conflict with their with their fellow citizens and fellow working people. cops period even. yeah yeahs want to help me get let me just check his consciousness make sure that he seems. to think. it's just because

they can. put a little bit of. a . problem to. the people at least. some of. their in place. because they know what's going on.

i mean i think it's a lot of. it's i think the agenda needs to. a little more clear for us to be able to actually. get things accomplished but i think the heart of. the fleet. i just think you were going to was good at it oh it. was great to look. oh. you're going to get to see the all this occupied. it's the newest media platform

for. the now you know. i don't think interesting years it's. going to. six companies corporations own the entire mass media in this country we have to create our own media platforms and barack obama is going to be one of those people can see what. connect with the website connect with the community and get activated with occupy wall street it's pretty exciting. to get our big may day action coming up so general strike. excited about that. but the site just was so there's a lot of work to do. we have really nothing to lose i guess. you would love.

this i always use thing i was born in the wrong time. of it. morning breeze. the sixty's or something. like you realize that this is exactly the time that i'm supposed to live it. exactly are going to be. sad interactions i want to be having. i no way i want. we're not there yet either. i think it's important to recognize that we're not. in the place that we want to be yet you know and that's why we get up and that's why we work that's why we struggle and that's why we face all the things that we face.

because of the actual. building our capacity and doing the spring training to get all pumped up and psyched to do some like to see some exercise do some something that's and push up how we're going to march on wall street just a little you know that we're coming on later and after all summer. is training which is training to get ready and get ready for everything we can do. to start. exactly.

where you. into a sitting position. with it but there. are . several unfilled really. bad people they aren't really close together around each other so let's see how close together we can get without hurting each other.

like it's like a spring training inspired tell you do it still discipline or tell is a team also sees it and it's also a word to win by people and every week to stay with us i'm hopefully will get really tight and really solid military and some discipline are actually coming up and get something else but the knowledge gets in the calculator he. still does that . let's close this very large get our. top. close look at. those we got.

let. me. tell you. right now we are at the fort greene occupy town square and occupy town square is a roving pop up occupation that shows up in

a different park each weekend and the idea is to set up in the park it's open people can come in those food there's music there's games there's information about occupy about a general strike on may first and it just it's an outreach opportunity for the community to come and see us is sort of them having to come to us we come to that that's it. seeking an exit from it to get more and it used to be leaving a legacy of atrocity. nature you see called a summit. see. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

this is the wheel of immorality it proposes various outcomes all misfortune it all unfortunate. for people to discover they feature these aki cards which. you know they reveal the unfortunate circumstances that we all live in right now. some something some terrible facts about monsanto the company prison industrial complex. climate change which is already happening and. when you land on one of these which you know happens arbitrarily i just stop the wheel whenever i want to because i'm the controller of this wheel misfortune.

you get one of these cards. and you need to learn about the terrible situation. that is here almost like you know so i can take a picture was it like as a fiction one of you want to do it and i don't want to be the pictures i'm tweeting and we don't read it for yourself that it. tweet about what's going on i take pictures of people who are were different foods to eat out everybody maybe people come out when they see a little know they were here. that's mostly my family situation and sue use twitter as a means to do both outreach to larger community in reach within the movement mutation between occupations between people within the occupation and it also as a means of getting new resources and question things that we need whether to food or clothing or support people or cameras or money or whatever may be put out of

calls on the internet people are very generous. however you understand it for something the political playing for other people's i want a job like the people like me it's a whole bunch of things including just the opportunity to get together with other people and not be on my cell phone. and just talk what we're talking now which is becoming our modern life a kind of rarefied. spread the word. because if there's something good in here. let people know and join us that can be just hang out with us for five

minutes obviously a post of mine posted as a you know what doesn't get by people don't seem all that bad but it is a bunch of losers but i have a very good job. people have jobs here that's all nonsense so they don't have jobs or losers i say something which also it is encouraging the courage. the courage of these people to sweep down the street in the cold. to get a read no pun. law that want the better for all about. again. i think right now be back. with them and change.

their hanging start a same line and waited for the photo album. and i was with him like he was my stuff was you know. with these guns was. still the true a lot easier for the seals going legal document with your name and with three steps back right here to look at just step by. step back after midnight and then it was just sitting inside of a sleeping bag it was freezing out here and stuff last night and is so cold you couldn't even like his legs were literally shot and they arrested him because you know i asked him just one and i'd. say that's a fairly i mean he's being arrested for being in america. is being arrested for being here i mean in a situation where you're a human might want to be more and it's literally about freezing temperature right now this is just a sign of them running scared is all it is. we they know we're succeeding be doing

what we're supposed to. is trying to break to destroy and indeed more lies if you like it gave me cause see all the crap that's gone on here in america and they're just trying to stop this but they know they can't stop you know smugglers is the car that's why they're fighting us he has hard as they can get him a living within the limits of the can do so. but. i thought that was my first radio is going to be joining us to he's a long time. brooklyn community organizer and we coach each this class together twice a week but today we're going to be meeting off site at a church chalk about. what we're going to plan we're going to plan some actions the students want to do a walkout. in solidarity with the workers for may first so that's pretty exciting.

so you know other actions how we get other students activated stuff to give me to say these are great student leaders these are strong young people. they've been through a lot they're embattled because the city's closing their school down and they're not happy about it. but. change it's. just going to happen because people oh you know what let's change the. way we have to say. so this is not people for us people that are struggling people that have others will pull our were there. to do today that change that they did earlier the city we the students of the

public visitation i here to form a view about the injustice of the. lady. who says that. the private privatizations of our school systems budget cuts. the pleasure because i needed those policing of us schools and. we feel that if these issues are setting is a failure and we demanded saints we believe that child if it's the system is set up to play simply this isn't enough and she solicited us to says this killing the table. because it is all first eisel be a mess today will only first as well camp to fully off.

their need to put a good ass machine on. no so. everything. so today we evolved that is it just a credible historic moment for high school students in new york city just really really realize that they need to organize themselves so this is the beginning of the organization the soon organization you know for raw justice you know. for proper education. that.

i wanted. to do with. people who are getting to know it was going on but then.

we celebrate in america with our struggle. the city will. soon be complaining that it doesn't sit without struggle there is no words. no bad tonight that would not. lead to. the i didn't want to go to wasn't going to do what. he planned to do with. the little bit tight was the time we didn't see stephen is dictating to we didn't see him. in the city. in the shadow of the steeple we knew in the remember because i see that people have said that. the one behind.

this left is still made for you and me. the right. was. it was really was. a that was. i. was. a. was can i ask you as roddy and i were two of the founding members of occupy wall street back in september last year. what impact do you think occupy

wall street has had on the spheres that you that you exist in and work in well you know. occupy was your most significant things or has had. and in this nation last forty is calm. and it's in its in its infancy what is required of occupy wall street is to begin to and as everyone has been saying this we have to begin to identify those goals and objectives as you have been doing and pushing ahead to the forefront so the people understand the purpose and meaning of the to understand it because the ninety nine percent who unfruitful had been the practice came face to long to find jobs to find decent housing you understand most but just as importantly how do we commit those things how do we move it because you know people are very concerned because it affects them but how do we connect up

with those people and let them see the direct relationship and how specific the act.
