Why would anybody who isn't a right-wing greedhead WANT OWS gone?

21. In Oakland, they are called the Lake Merritt/Uptown District Association.

From their letter to "progressive" "democrat" Jean Quan, "mayor" of Oakland California:

"The protest has been allowed to run its course. Now it’s time to focus on jobs and the economic restoration of our city. It’s time for bold leadership and forceful action, not unending social experimentation. We call upon the Oakland City Council and the Mayor of Oakland to step up and provide cohesive, common sense leadership-­-----before it really is too late."

From here:
"The Oakland Metro Chamber of Commerce has been quite vocal with their mantra of 'OCCUPY OAKLAND ENCAMPMENT MUST GO! OCCUPY OAKLAND ENCAMPMENT MUST GO! OCCUPY OAKLAND ENCAMPMENT MUST GO!' as they twist the arms of elected officials and try to engender popular support for their position. Now today, the Lake Merritt/Uptown District (business) Association, claiming to be a part of the '99%', has piled on, delivering a letter to the Mayor calling for 'forceful action' to end the 'social experimentation' of Occupy Oakland."

Note that during the Occupy Oakland encampment, statistics revealed a 19% drop in crime in the area. Quan and her lackeys knew it, discussed it being bad for their position, and continued to attack Occupy Oakland brutally, nearly killing two peaceful Veterans in the process.



In Los Angeles, they are called ccala.org, the business lobby which is actively working to privatize downtown Los Angeles and beyond. From their website right now:

"The issues that matter to us most impact the entire city. Naturally, our membership includes business leaders from across Los Angeles. We give them access to the policies and people that are shaping the future of Los Angeles and in return, they know CCA is the business organization that gets things done.

CCA PAC Scores Successes at City Hall

The results are in! CCA was the resounding winner in yesterday’s election."

I have posted many articles here regarding cca and their agenda and power from the gentrification attempt upon Skid Row to their private "security" patrols across the downtown area. Corporate cops. Really. No exaggeration. And OccupyLA and Occupy Skid Row's numerous encounters and insights into their direct control of LA city hall (until this week, "democrat" mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, or Mr. Villain).

This includes the LAPD riot against citizens for using water-soluble children's sidewalk chalk at an "artwalk" event. cca cannot bear Occupy and have even used LA Times and local mainstream media to outright LIE about OccupyLA.


The power of the 1% runs deep. Politicians do what they're told or they're manipulated out of effectiveness.

To quote the song, "What's it like in your town?"
