Occupy Wall Street is moving to a new phase as The Man attempts to evict the Occupiers tomorrow.
Meanwhile, in little old Encinitas, some West Coast Occupiers will be gathering in sympathy:
The Occupy Wall Street movement against corporate greed is coming to North County, starting Saturday in with an event in downtown Encinitas.
It's set to start at 1 p.m. at the intersection of Encinitas Boulevard and Coast Highway 101. Anyone is welcome and organizers encourage people to show up with signs and American flags.
"We're planning to march into downtown and we're planned to stay on the sidewalks," said publicist Dave Peiser, a longtime Encinitas resident who runs a computer tech company and an online environmentally friendly products website. "We don't want to get in the way of anyone."
Unlike the Occupy event in New York City, where participants have camped out for weeks to protest corporate greed and the concentration of the nation's wealth in the hands of a few, the Encinitas event will end after the march through downtown.
"There's no encampment planned," Peiser said. "The hope is just to bring the message to North County."
What more could you ask in laid-back Encinitas?
I have a feeling the organizers are the same people who are out on 101 at Encinitas Boulevard on lots of weekend afternoons waving signs for various lefty causes. But they're likely to get a much bigger turnout Saturday with the media publicity from the national #Occupy movement.
For locals who want to go Full Occupy, you can still join Occupy San Diego, where they're camped out at the Civic Center, tents and all. Don't eat the brown acid.
UPDATE: There goes Occupy San Diego.
Dave Peiser is a good hard working father and business owner; if he is involved in this Occupation; then we should at a minimum take notice of what message he and his group are trying to get out. Peiser is NOT a Looney-tune.
ReplyDeleteI'm up for this!
ReplyDelete"Secret Encinitas" will you print the truth?
I'm charles Lawrence and the people of Encinitas
do not want to go to Jail for pot..This is a BIG DEAL(War with Encinitas for 50YR. Over Weed???)
I would say that from 1963-2011 there has been 100to300 tons of pot imported, used& sold in the city of Encinitas... interview me please 760-453-3295
This seems to be designed to take advantage of the Maggie Houlihan memorial at Cottonwood Creek park that is from 11 am to 1 pm. How much spill over will there be? Certainly a lot of the curious.
ReplyDeleteHopefully a few of these useful idiots will direct there rage at the White House which entered us into ANOTHER WAR yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI thought Obama was going to get us out of these wars...another lie, from the liar in chief.
Which war did we get into this time? The assassination accusation against Iran sounds like an excuse to cover Eric Holder from his "Fast and Furious" gun scandal and 'provocation' to strike at Iran's nuclear facilities. The war mongering nut cases like McCain, Lindsey Graham and even Joe Biden are rattling the swords - these old morons need to be retired fast! The USA is the modern version of Rome - declining rapidly!
ReplyDeleteNotice how the authorities are beginning to "push back" on the occupy protestors? Those in control have to appear to be tolerant, yet they don't want this movement to ground swell either. The rich/political control shot callers realize that this could get out of control, so they are starting to order attacks on the movement. Government is the same the world over - for the rich, by the rich and obeying the rich. The media cooperates by claiming these people are anarchists or disorganized rabble - sounds like Syria! Could the likes of the 1960's Democratic Convention police riots be far behind??
ReplyDeleteIf you think these "occupiers" are bad, wait until the govt doesn't have enough to pay social security or medicare, or food stamps or welfare, what will those "occupiers" do in the streets....you better have a plan.
