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

Oakland is only the Beginning | #OccupyUnveiled

A lot has happened during OccupyOakland: tear gas, flash bangs, rubber bullets and numerous arrests by Police - while protesters have tried to remain non-violent, some have resorted to tagging Whole Foods and Wells Fargo and even throwing Molotov cocktails. Things are just getting started; however, the source of this new found aggression from protesters is directly linked to Scott Olson. An Iraq War Veteran who was a victim of Police brutality and remains in critical condition.
Below are photos of the vandalization:

However, these pictures DO NOT represent the entire movement:

Other pictures cause concern if not fear in some:

This last picture from Oakland sends a chilling reminder of a past video:

Perhaps the video is a rude comparison; that's just what came to my mind. It's best if you take the comparison as nothing more than paranoia. Please note we are not making a Hitler Youth comparison like others have of the video!

What comes to your mind? What do you think of the kids participation? Do you think its good for younger kids to get involved - do these kids understand what OWS is about? There are a lot of underlying questions about the kids, we assume they have parental consent. Hopefully, their parents are in the crowd with them.

Here is one of the most interesting OWS posters we've seen.

Tear Gas Deployed at #OccupyOakland | #OccupyUnveiled

(UPDATED) To all present at #OccupyOakland:

This is a major event, thank you to the brave individual for continuing to film. Clearly, Police feel this movement is worth using force to disperse supporters. #OccupyUnveiled would be honored to feature personal accounts from witnesses. There is no limit to how short or long an article can be, please send us your testimony. The use of tear gas and bean bag ammo have been reportedly used by the Police; however, they deny that ever took place. Now, reports of an Iraq War Veteran in critical condition - a round of tear gas was a direct hit to Scott Olsen's head, fracturing his skull.

Inform the world from your eyes, words and hearts.

Ok. We just consensed. #ows is giving $20,000 to #OccupyOakand in solidarity. STAY STRONG OAKLAND!

A serious question comes to mind: $20,000 is not chump change; where did this money come from? Though this is a nice gesture, who was the donor so we can give credit to them?
