I thank a lot of people who used to be here are not posting much anymore, for various reasons. As Occupy, they are like all movements, moving to another phase. Right now they are busy in court, and for the most part, have been winning, a testament to the organization that took place in anticipation of false arrests and police willing to lie under oath. With the dismissals of cases in NY eg, they are now following up with lawsuits against the NYPD and Bloomberg joined by members of the Press and NYC city council members.

I see this as a very important phase of the movement. For far too long the NYPD has gotten away with all the corruption finally coming to the surface, bigotry, false arrests etc. but OWS brought it out into the open and got them some really bad PR all over the world.

They are also doing more than Congress ever did to keep people in their homes eg, stopping foreclosures wherever they can.

I will try to get more OPs written for this forum though, as there really is a lot going on and I just assume people know about it.
