    If you're up for some post-marxist neo-nihilist pseudo-gonzo revivalist ramblings... I produced this last night: http://socyberty.com/politics/enough-ti ... -movement/ ("Enough Time Has Been Occupied on the Occupy Movement"). It's just like my ramblings here on AMT, except surrounded by advertising.

    Today, I finished my Xmas shopping at Target, so I'm hypocrite in my condemnation of the global marketplace, if it is a condemnation. Perhaps it's an acceptance. Whatever the larger point in this article is, I just know that the Occupy movement is soooooo Fall of 2011. Curious to see what the next revolution fad will be :P

    Thats great. Start thinking these things as "15 minutes of Fame" because it happened to the Green movement too.

    When I see the words "Eco Chic" it make me want to barf. Thats the mentality of someone who follows Kim Kardashian or something. Make it pop culture cool for 15 minutes and then throw it away.

    Always an eloquent inspiration.
  • I beleive that the only way things will truly change is to moblize and have massive boycotts. I think if folks really want to get the attention of corporations and the financial sector boycott their services and products. Are folks tired of the way Big Banks operate, close your account and take it to a small local bank. Just my idea. I still beleive that the people in a democracy hold the power.

    Yes, but the people are too dumb and lazy.

    It's picking up again. The NYPD has told them to move out of the park, off the streets, and off the sidewalks. Arrests are being made. There is a live feed everyday... if you want I can get it for you.

    *"Cant be in the park, cant be on the sidewalk, cant be in the street. Oh, and we cant be a pedestrian."

    Police have found a DNA link between the unsolved murder of a drama student in 2004 and a heavy chain collected after the Occupy Wall Street protests in March, a source confirmed to myFOXny.com.

    A database of DNA samples recently matched DNA on the chain to material on a compact disc player found near the body of Sarah Fox, an official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official wasn't authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.

    But the DNA hasn't been matched to any person, and it remains to be seen what authorities will be able to make of the unexpected find — and what it might mean for a longtime suspect who has never been charged. The DNA on the chain was found during a routine test of crime-scene evidence, a source told the New York Post.

    NBC 4 New York first reported the DNA match.

    Fox, 21, was on a semester off from her studies at The Juilliard School when she vanished after setting out to go running in an upper Manhattan park on May 19, 2004. Her disappearance spurred a search that involved 260 police recruits, as well as volunteers, and thousands of dollars were offered as a reward for information.

    Her body was found after six days in the park, with her clothing gone and her larynx fractured. Her CD player was about 100 feet away.

    Police questioned a resident of the neighborhood near the park, Dimitry Sheinman, and he surprised them by saying he had "visions" about Fox that could help the investigation. Former Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau pronounced Sheinman the "No. 1 suspect," but Sheinman was never charged. He has denied any wrongdoing. No contact information for him could immediately be found.

    The chain was used to hold open an emergency exit gate during a protest this March 28 at a Brooklyn subway station. Aiming to draw attention to transit issues by giving passengers free rides, the demonstrators opened exits t various subway stations. A statement described many of the participants as members of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

    An Occupy representative didn't immediately respond to an email message late Tuesday.

    It wasn't immediately clear who might have provided or touched the chain.

    Law-enforcement DNA databases have numerous samples collected from various pieces of evidence but never identified with a particular suspect. Matches periodically pop up as new samples are entered.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.
