Though Occcupy Wall St. has barely finished its second week, it has already sparked national and international reactions, The fact that it already has a U-tube series, speaks for itself.
Below are four of my favourite apperances so far: Slavo Zizek, Rosean Bar, Russell Simmons and Michael Moore, (all its missing in Alec Baldwin and…).
Feel free to add your choice.
The last time there was such an amalgamation of intellectulas and artists at progressive causes was back in the 30’s. Tis a vastly different world, and yet in some respects still the same. The more it changes the more it stays the same?
Today Liberty Plaza had a visit from Slavoj Zizek

A guy was sent from East Germany to work in Siberia. He knew his mail would be read by censors. So he told his friends: Let’s establish a code. If the letter you get from me is written in blue ink ,it is true what I said. If it is written in red ink, it is false. After a month his friends get a first letter. Everything is in blue. It says, this letter: everything is wonderful here. Stores are full of good food. Movie theaters show good films from the West. Apartments are large and luxurious. The only thing you cannot buy is red ink.
This is how we live. We have all the freedoms we want. But what we are missing is red ink. The language to articulate our non-freedom. The way we are taught to speak about freedom war and terrorism and so on falsifies freedom. And this is what you are doing here: You are giving all of us red ink.”
