Occupy... I Wonder If Secretary Kerry Even Gets The Irony Here...

56. Wrong again, it was widely believed that just one day of protesting throughout the previous decade

no matter how big, was totally ineffective and easily ignored by the Corporate Media. So it was WIDELY discussed among protesters EVERYWHERE against illegal Wars and Corruption on Wall St, that occupying the Public Square, an old and historical method of protesting wrong policies, would have the desired effect lost in the one day protests.

So widely believed that they began in Spain with the Indignados mimicing previous protesters and occupying their public squares drawing attention to the cause of the collapse of their economies leading to huge unemployment, due to corruption of Wall St.

Two groups in the US were planning to protest and not leave until they had made their point to as many people as possible, OWS was one of them here in the US, the rest of the world was widely supportive of this and began their own protests.

The reason Bloomberg and 'his Wall St. army' of Robo Cops, could not throw them out of Zuccotti Sq was because OWS had done its research and knew it would be a legal challenge for him to do so and by then, they would have made their point. Their goal was to remain in Zuccotti Part for, at the most, two weeks. That turned out to be true. But way beyond the dreams of the planners, the movement spread across the country.

And, btw, polls in NYC supported the format of the protests by over 80%.
