How Occupy Wall Street plans to try to shut down FiDi on Monday

Nobody had talked about income inequality in America for decades – apart from John Edwards – but no one was listening. But now you have Newt Gingrich talking about ‘vulture capitalism’ – Newt Gingrich! – that would not have happened without Occupy Wall Street.

Charges dropped for 14 #OWS defendants that demonstrated on the Brooklyn Bridge last October
So far, 174 of the 686 cases in which charges were brought have resulted in dismissals. The percentage of dismissals is higher among people who were issued summonses, in a process akin to receiving a traffic ticket, compared with those who were issued desk appearance tickets, which defense lawyers said typically involved fingerprinting and photographing the recipient.
In the instances in which summonses were issued, there have been 155 dismissals out of 438 cases. Of the remaining cases, 250 defendants agreed to conditional dismissals and 33 cases have not yet been resolved.

If you were to stop independent journalist Tim Pool on the street, you may think he’s just a bike messenger, with his skull cap, hoodie and shoulder strap bag.
What you may miss is that Pool has transformed himself into a mobile journalist. He broadcast live videos in the midst of the Occupy movement using just an iPhone, a solar powered backpack and even a drone to an audience of thousands. [Report: Anthony De Rosa]

VIDEO: Occupy Lincoln Center Protest
I put together some quick clips of some of the more interesting moments of the Lincoln Center protest in New York last night. This includes an arrest of a peaceful protester, a speech by Philip Glass, and a rousing mic check from a woman who currently works at Bloomberg LP.
Here’s the text of Glass’ speech:
“When righteousness/ Withers away/ And evil / Rules the Land /We come into being /Age after age/ And take visible shape /And move / A man among men/ For the protection/ Of good /Thrusting back evil /And setting virtue/ On her seat again.”
(Apologies for the rough cuts, I haven’t edited video in about two years!)

“I’ve had a lot of proud moments in my life. A lot of proud moments in my career. But when I had those handcuffs on and was marched over there with the other protesters in solidarity, that was the proudest moment of my life” - Retired Philadelphia police captain Raymond Lewis
