The TENT OF DREAMS went up over the General's head at noon... or so my sources tell me.

But this doesn't mean the danger is over. In fact, if the pattern at other encampments is followed, then the danger is huge because the notices were invariably a feint followed by a night-time anti-camping raid.

The only difference is that the Park Service is less eager to bust Occupy heads than city police in the other big "blue" cities. But the TENT OF DREAMS may force their hand...

They also planted a tree in the lawn side of the park facing the White House, in defiance of the "no disturbing the earth" rule.

The Tent of Dreams makes for great photos, though. But its naturally a doomed symbolic gesture Leopolds Ghost Jan 2012 #17
