What the fuck has changed?
'A newspaper editor wrote about the growing 'Number of Beggers and wandering Poor' in the streets of the city. Letters in the papers questioned the distribution of wealth: 'How often have your Streets been covered with Thousands of Barrels of Flour for trade, while our near Neighbours can hardly procure enough to make a Dumplin to satisfy hunger?'
'Gary Nash's study of city tax lists shows that by the early 1770s, the top 5 percent of Boston's taxpayers controlled 49% of the city's taxable assets.
'In New York, that same year of the Boston house attacks, someone wrote to the New York Gazette, 'Is it equitable that 99, rather 999, should suffer for the Extravagance or Grandeur of one, especially when it is considered that men frequently owe their Wealth to the impoverishment of their Neighbors?'
Over 200 years ago this was written, how little everything has changed.
STAND UP FOR CHANGE, DON'T LET THEM WIN FOR ANOTHER TWO HUNDRED YEARS.
We have information, communications, we have this history to look back on, we're in contact with the whole world, we're strong, we're invincible, but only if we want to be. This is not going to be a peaceful revolution, we're going to have to fight hard, but we can do it, we are the majority.
DO WE WANT TO DIE AS SHEEP ?
“We are [NOT] Anonymous, but ... We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.”
SOLIDARITY - OCCUPY THE WORLD
