The media and the city officials that want the Occupy Wall Street movement to fail are thinking that severe winter weather is their ally.
They are hoping that our enthusiasm to camp out in public spaces will wane as days turn into months and the weather turns bitter.
There is a way to see it differently.
The guiding principle of the strategy for our whole resistance must be to prolong the occupation. To protract the demonstration is the key to victory. Why must the protest be protracted? ... If we throw the whole of our forces into a few battles to try to decide the outcome, we shall certainly be defeated and the enemy will win. On the other hand, if while protesting we maintain our forces, expand them, train our people, learn tactics ... and at the same time wear down the enemy forces, we shall weary and discourage them in such a way that, strong as they are, they will become weak and will meet defeat instead of victory.-
Bad weather is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate unyielding resolve in our media wired society.
They expect us to retreat back to our snug and warm comfort infested homes and go back to sleep.
They are in for a surprise.
