Triad of Business, Cops & Politicians Attack Occupy
by CARL FINAMORE

Things did not start out this way.
When the Occupy movement first took root on Saturday, September 17, 2011 in New Yorks famously renamed Liberty Square, it took the country and the whole world by surprise.
None more shocked than the now notoriously renamed one per cent. They were embarrassed by the spotlight on their secretive, self-serving, and sometimes illegal transactions.
