November 4th: The Eve of Revolution | #OccupyUnveiled

On this day, we learned of another hospitalized Iraq War Veteran by the name of Kayvan Sabehgi. The OPD (Oakland Police Dept.) brutaly beat Kayvan Sabehgi with night sticks, causing the rupturing of his spleen. We would like to take the time to send our thoughts and prayers to all OPD victims, you are not alone.

Is this not enough? Mayor Quan, have you nothing to say? You gave city employees permission to attend the demonstration and one phone call later, you give the order for Police to step up tactics? This is why people are petitioning your resignation if you haven't noticed. This is why people have taken it upon themselves to show aggression by throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at your officers. Most (including us) will not condone the violence and vandalism; however, it is in response to your violent tendencies. The source of blame is right in front of you - you need only look into a mirror.

And yes... Remember, Remember the 5th of November - it's that time again. Anonymous has made a bold declaration to destroy Facebook, will they succeed? Others attending the numerous cities standing with OWS, vow something bigger will happen.

Is there a greater event planned for the 5th? What can we expect as we are growing closer to The Eve of Revolution?

An anonymous source has requested a poem be published for the 5th.

What is it,
What do you see?
It passed so long ago,
This blood is all that remains.
Wind scatters Truth,
It has sailed away.
Torn,
Gathered and set Ablaze.
The Wolves are coming.
The Wolves are coming.
What have you done,
The Wolves are coming.
Eager to feed,
The Wolves are coming.
Wet eyes.
Hot Skin.
Heavy Heart.
I'm surrounded in Blame,
Trapt in this shroud.
I Remember,
Strength.

I sit here,
Awaiting the Eve of Revolution.
Believing with the Hope of Absolution.
Ignite and Defy.

Happy Bonfire Day
