"And men at last are forced to face with sober senses the real conditions of their lives and relations with their fellow men." The Communist Manifesto
This afternoon at 4 PM Eastern Daylight Time a press conference will be held in solidarity with #OccupyWallSt and communal protest with the gross overbearance and corruption on the part of law enforcement. Jon Penley, former POW and antiwar activist, and Liberty Square ne' Zuccotti transient denizen, will also announce the support of another victim of the NYPD's martial surveillance/counter-dissent operations: the Islamic Leadership Council of Metropolitan New York.
The organization and its leader were among those targeted for surveillance under the cooperative guidance of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Expect this announcement to be pounced upon by Beck and like-minded pundits as well as militant anti-seditionists within the political body. They'll call us all terrorists.
I will have video from city hall shortly.
