The New York police state: NYPD, FBI Raid Occupy Wall Street Protesters' Homes In Anticipation Poten

"There were a number of visits between 6:00 and 7:30 in the morning and at other points in the day that appeared to target people that primarily the NYPD, but in one instance the FBI, wanted to ask certain questions to," Gideon Oliver, a spokesman for the National Lawyers Guild, which often represents Occupy protesters, told Buzzfeed. "Questions included things like 'what are your May Day plans?' 'Do you know who the protest leaders are?' 'What do you know about the May Day protests?' and such."

Improvise
Let no one else's work evade your eyes
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes
So don't shade your eyes
But improvise, improvise, improvise
Only be sure always to call it please "organization"
