“Desperately Trying to Connect the Occupy Wall Street Movement to the Cause of Chris Diaz”

“I foresee quite a struggle coming before they concede defeat and lack of purpose to going further.”—wrabbit2000, commenting on the notion of the powerful Occupy Wall Street Movement losing momentum due to a lack of actionable items.

The power of the Occupy Wall Street movement is not that they have a great plan to help this country out, but that the point they make about 1% ruling the world is a troubling fact that no one can deny; a fact that builds tremendous, passionate uproar inside that we are in Hell. But the question is: how can we get out?

It does not appear that the Occupy Wall Street Movement has a tangible answer to this all important question. So, even though they have the most noble message possible, people eventually sigh and move on, shaking their head, perhaps if anything feeling more powerless than before and thus making their whole effort counterproductive.

This could be their specific instance.

The Diaz case just came to light and has tremendous support of its own. This is not some dusty old case from the sixties here; this young man just got locked up a matter of weeks ago. You cannot claim this movement will not catch fire when it is so early. Can you imagine if Howard Stern heard about the Chris Diaz situation? It just has to reach the right ears, which can be tough in these corporate media controlled times. These two movements can be married to great
