keep these 'secrets'.

As for a revolution, how about a Global People's Protest Movement where the first and third world workers unite, (see the post above this regarding global t-shirts eg demanding a livabe wage for all people. And demanding that this country refuse to subsidize or give tax breaks to Corporations who do not abide by our own labor laws?

A wordwide Global Workers Movement. The Corporations did this already but they kept the workers and their issues confined to individual nations. Now we know how to do it, THEY showed us.

If you are right, then is a perfect time to begin the Workers Revolution. It has already begun in nations like India eg, where workers are demanding better wages and conditions. Every other nation's workers should be supporting them imo.

OWS has the infrastructure set up already to be a part of this.
