Hundreds of protesters descend to 'Occupy Wall Street'

Julianne Pepitone reports for CNN Money:

Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets of Manhattan's financial district on Saturday in a largely peaceful protest aimed at drawing attention to the role powerful financial interests played in wreaking havoc on America's economy.

Modeled on the "Arab Spring" uprisings that swept through Egypt, Tunisia, Syria and other countries this year, Occupy Wall Street is a "leaderless resistance movement" orchestrated through Twitter, Facebook and other social media tools. The Twitter hashtag #OccupyWallStreet lit up Saturday with coordination messages and solidarity tweets.

Activist magazine Adbusters spearheaded the event, putting the call out two months ago for participants in a Sept. 17 demonstration in lower Manhattan. Protestors arranged to meet and discuss their goals at the iconic Wall Street Bull statue at noon, as well as at a "people's assembly" at One Chase Manhattan Plaza at 3 p.m.

"The NYPD is aware of various protests and we have planned accordingly," Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne told CNN late Friday.

Early Saturday morning, police barricaded off Wall Street, erecting barriers around the bull statute that protestors had planned to make their rallying point. Protestors instead took to the surrounding streets, blocking traffic. By 2 p.m., nearly two dozen uniformed police officers surrounded the bull, while others worked to disperse the crowd.

[CAPITALISM IS OVER] Occupy Wall Street September, 17th [ANONYMOUS]

Occupy Wall Street September 17 2011
CAPITALISM IS OVER! If You Want It
www.CapitalismIsOver.com

As concerns continue to rise globally for the economy, unemployment, environmental degradation, food shortages, and human rights abuses, the call for "SOLUTIONS" has become the mantra of the masses. While primarily wealthy, privileged pundits and politicians debate this need and how best to address it on cable news, millions have taken to the streets throughout the world to demand action. Until our voices are heard, the call for revolution will grow louder.

FunVax: Fundamentalist Vaccine
Pentagon Video, Document Reveal Aerial Vaccination Plan

The Pentagon may vaccinate large populations in the Middle East with what is being called FunVax – a fundamentalist vaccine. As explained by Pentagon researchers, the FunVax uses an airborne virus to indiscriminately infect populations considered high risk for religious fundamentalism. The virus in this vaccine purportedly has been tested and shown to reduce fundamentalism and religiosity in all who are infected by damaging what is called the "God gene."

The Illusion of Asymmetric Insight
The Misconception: You celebrate diversity and respect others’ points of view.
The Truth: You are driven to create and form groups and then believe others are wrong just because they are others.

OCTOBER 15th 2011 WILL BE THE BEGINNING!

TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD, TAKE PART!

WE ARE THE OUTRAGED, THE ANONYMOUS, THE VOICELESS. WE WERE THERE, SILENT BUT ALERT, WATCHING. NOT GAZING UPWARD AT THE POWERS THAT BE, BUT LOOKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE FOR THE RIGHT TIME TO UNITE WITH EACH OTHER.

NO POLITICAL PARTY, ASSOCIATION OR TRADE UNION REPRESENTS US.
NOR DO WE WANT THEM TO, BECAUSE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US SPEAKS FOR HER OR HIMSELF. TOGETHER, WE WANT TO DESIGN AND CREATE A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE AND NATURE COME FIRST, BEFORE ECONOMIC INTERESTS. WE WANT TO DESIGN AND BUILD THE BEST POSSIBLE WORLD.

TOGETHER WE CAN AND WE WILL. UNAFRAID
