Update 10/15/2011 Wall Street protests go global; riots in Rome | Source Reuters
(Reuters) – Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across the globe Saturday to denounce bankers, politicians and businessmen for ruining the world’s economies, with violence breaking out in Rome as angry protestors torched cars and smashed bank windows.
Occupy Wall Street is an ongoing series of demonstrations in New York City[5] based in Zuccotti Park, formerly “Liberty Plaza Park”. The protest was originally[6] called for by the Canadian activist[7] group Adbusters. The action has been compared to the Arab Spring movement (particularly the Tahrir Square protests in Cairo, which initiated the 2011 Egyptian revolution) and the Spanish Indignants.[8][9]
The participants of the event, who have called themselves the “99 percenters”,[10] are mainly protesting against social and economic inequality, corporate greed, and the influence of corporate money and lobbyists on government, among other concerns.[11][12][13] By October 9, similar demonstrations had been held or were ongoing in 70 major cities and more than 600 communities.[14]
This is the global movement, the time when we will see the change, the change has started, and it is gaining momentum.

Comparing and contrasting the two statues quo’s In stark ideological contrast to the Tea Party Movement, which seeks to restore Liberty and Rule of Law as enshrined in our Constitution, the socialist “Flea Party” movement occupying city blocks across our nation is composed of the latest generation of useful idiots and debauched opportunists.

Unions join ‘Occupy Wall Street’
In fact, we are witnessing America’s first true Internet-era movement, which — unlike civil rights protests, labor marches, or even the Obama campaign — does not take its cue from a charismatic leader, express itself in bumper-sticker-length goals and understand itself as having a particular endpoint.
Yes, there are a wide array of complaints, demands, and goals from the Wall Street protesters: the collapsing environment, labor standards, housing policy, government corruption, World Bank lending practices, unemployment, increasing wealth disparity and so on. Different people have been affected by different aspects of the same system — and they believe they are symptoms of the same core problem.
