As the London riots continue to spiral out of control, a group of American radicals are planning a “day of rage” targeting Wall Street and U.S. capitalism.
The upcoming protests, replete with a planned tent city slated for downtown Manhattan, is closely tied to the founders of ACORN and leaders of major U.S.unions, including the SEIU.
There are indications the protesters are training to incite violence, resist arrest and disrupt the legal system.
The protest aims to take root nationwide.
Activists are advertising on social network sites like Facebook and Twitter for a “Day of Rage” on September 17 to begin with the “occupation” of Wall Street and continue with protests across the nation.
Planners have their own website – USDayofRage.org – which tells protesters to “bring your own tent.”
The website is nonspecific about the purpose of the day of rage other than calling for “integrity” to be “restored to our elections.”
The site accuses corporations of using “money to act as the voices of millions, while individual citizens, the legitimate voters, are silenced and demoralized by the farce.”
Advertisements claim the plans for protests at Wall Street and nationwide will be “non-violent.”
However, the official website provides resources, including videos and detailed written instructions, for protesters to engage in “civil disobedience.”
Some of the resources provided include instructions on how to resist police arrest and disrupt court hearings.
Similar instructions are provided on the website of an affiliated organization, which calls itself “Occupy Wall Street” and is also involved in planning the Sept. 17 protests. Read the rest on: Kleinonline
