My take: Bloomberg/corporatocracy need OWS shut down BEFORE Lech Walesa shows up in solidarity.

[blm]

It's the PICTURES that would come from Walesa marching with the anti-Wall Streeters that they could NOT stomach seeing themselves nor could they control what would be worldwide distribution of those photos. OWS would become UNSPINNABLE for them on a Katrina scale.

They could not ALLOW that to happen. Walesa has been one of the world's most noted ANTI-COMMUNISM leaders.

I'd bet a month's mortgage that Lech Walesa's desire to march in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street has been the driving reason behind the renewed push to shut it down ASAP.

1. What is the Right's view of Lech? Good or bad?

He certainly did more to bring down the USSR than Reagan.

[blm]

2. He's revered for his staunch anti-communism leadership.

14. He was used against Communism and then abandoned

by the Freidmanites.

[blm]

17. Images of Walesa leading solidarity movement are iconic and THAT is what the fascists fear

if he is allowed to to march with OWS.

3. I think it to prevent a huge turn-out for the 15th (Saturday), which

is going to be big in many places around the world. Is that when he is coming?

[blm]

6. The report yesterday said he was expected 'soon'.

4. Lech Walesa was planning to visit OWS and express solidarity?

I didn't know that, but it would sure explain a hell of a lot.

[blm]

5. Yes...it was reported yesterday, thus, the turnaround by Bloomberg.

12. Here is the DU thread from yesterday on it

16. thankyou

7. Who's Lech Walesa?

Yes, I DO know who Lech Walesa is; my point is that the average low-information voter isn't going to be intrigued by someone who's been out of the spotlight for 15 years.

[blm]

8. A good deal of low-information GOP voters DO know the names Margaret Thatcher and Lech Walesa.

Even in THEIR history books, Walesa is regarded as a top anti-communism figure.

And, again, it's the PICTURES that would no doubt be compared with the pictures of Walesa marching against communist government in Poland that tell the story. That story and pictures are what the elite need to stop before they happen.

13. No but he could help solidify world opinion against the banksters.

If the post is correct then his would go worldwide and globalization just might be exposed for what it is - a bankster plot to own everything.

9. Thanks blm...that's an interesting point you make!

Also since Blooberg just this past weekend said folks could stay...now it's "clean the park" and who knows?

[blm]

15. yes....pretty sure Walesa marching with OWS tipped the decision

.

[me b zola]

10. Thank you for this

I wasn't aware that Lech was coming to support OWS. This does explain a lot.

[blm]

11. Think of the POWER in those images. If anyone knows the power of 'imagery' it's the fascist elite

and that's why they will prevent that from happening as much as possible.

[joshcryer]

18. Fascinating take!

[butterfly77]

19. ....

20. OWS needs Walesa there ASAP, as 'postponement' is likely the setup to make any future shutdown

appear like they've already compromised enough.
