NEW YORK – The protesters who have been camping out in Manhattan's Financial District for more than two weeks eat donated food and keep their laptops running with a portable gas-powered generator. They have a newspaper — the Occupied Wall Street Journal — and a makeshift hospital.

They lack a clear objective, though they speak against corporate greed, social inequality, global climate change and other concerns. But they're growing in numbers, getting more organized and showing no sign of quitting.

City officials "thought we were going to leave and we haven't left," 19-year-old protester Kira Moyer-Sims said. "We're going to stay as long as we can."

4. The corporate media

refuses to acknowledge this. Even CNN, which I guess has turned right. I see this has all gone world wide. We the people, not we the money.

5. CNN turned wrong years ago.

I would guess after Turner ceased controlling it, but that is only a guess.

I never tried to track it.

Sad we got most of the initial stories from Al Jazeera and Guardian, isn't it?

7. The enthusiasm DINOs show for these protests is heartwarming.

To Koch Industries and other corporate giants.
