#Occupy Observations: 2015

This document is under development. It is very difficult to revisit this violence. Fuck the republicans and democrats who only answer to the 1%, who told them to attack us.

We are non-partisan. Both major parties have sold out the American people. #OWS

Note that in Oakland, "progressive democrat" Jean Quan was told by her local 1% to end the encampment. Here in LA, it is easy enough to believe CCA, among others, blew the whistle against us.

"The Oakland Metro Chamber of Commerce has been quite vocal with their mantra of 'OCCUPY OAKLAND ENCAMPMENT MUST GO! OCCUPY OAKLAND ENCAMPMENT MUST GO! OCCUPY OAKLAND ENCAMPMENT MUST GO!' as they twist the arms of elected officials and try to engender popular support for their position. Now today, the Lake Merritt/Uptown District (business) Association, claiming to be a part of the '99%', has piled on, delivering a letter to the Mayor calling for 'forceful action' to end the 'social experimentation' of Occupy Oakland."
