Intellectuals, Academics, and Artists Call To Support OWS Anniversary Actions

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

NYPD seeding Zuccotti Park with lowlife population of drunk, homeless and mentally unbalanced, in a cynical ploy to use the openness of #OWS to destroy it from within.

from the Daily News:

At Occupy Wall Street central, a rift is growing between east and west sides of the plaza
The Wall Street protesters determined to “Occupy Everything” now find themselves, in a sense, occupied

I have no idea who wrote this or if it is for real, but, in any case, it's a good piece of agit-prop. Right on.

To all those in the United States currently occupying parks, squares and other spaces, your comrades in Cairo are watching you in solidarity. Having received so much advice from you about transitioning to democracy, we thought it’s our turn to pass on some advice.

Steve, it's a fucking disaster. Columbia grad, internationally exhibited performance artist, Georgi Sagri interrupted someone's lecture yesterday by passing out a pretty weak "Take Artists Space" poem, and then invited kids who had no idea what Artists Space was to occupy the spae. Has nothing to do with #OWS - it's like "Occupy a Friendly Non Profit Gallery". What artist doesn't want to do that?

James Madison Plaza, Pearl Street, September 17, 2011

Another splendid street performance by "New York's Finest":
