[Campaignforrealdemocracy] Update from Assembly Re: Fwd: [politicsandspiritnetwork] occupylsx: Saturday 22nd October: One-Week Birthday Celeberation

Thu Oct 20 20:35:51 UTC 2011

Cheers Javier ! "We discussed this at the Assembly today and there was no confirmation that this is a serious threat from whoever has been communicating with St Pauls people. In fact, they mentioned that revenue was higher than expected for this time of the year. There are some concerns regarding health and safety that might be used against us at some point.
Javier"

 occupylsx: Saturday 22nd October: One-Week Birthday Celeberation

Are we going to build up LSX. Or knock them down?

LSX asks why are the people not being represented and why the robbers are.

The protest is doing extremely well in making that question abundantly clear
to the people already

I can tell because I have spoken to 500 passers by in the past few days.
These are mainstream folks, bankers, biz people, mudke classes on tge margin
of poverty, who are saying 'YES, why is this?'

Im astonished its still going and growing strongly. The major problem today
is that we are running out of land for tents ironically.

I detect jealousy in the responses here. Lets build them up instead.
