IS THE OCCUPY WALL STREET MOVEMENT AT ITS APEX? WILL IT DIE OR GROW?
On the one hand, when “Adam Smith discredited…mercantilism…Quesnay and Smith…fatuously set up a new dogma [laissez faire]…proclaiming that what suited [the then power economies of] France and Britain was…universal law.”
Alexander Hamilton, on the other, “preferred wisdom to sacred canon…broke the tablets of that law and substituted…discretion…encouraging the conviction that economic virtue lies NOT in nature but in man…[and that] circumstances [say, the collapse of the 99%] alter cases and…[in such cases] that economic tenants are not absolute, but are modified by time and place.”
Translation: Contrary to the slavish and simplistic adherence of the financial Press (jesters to the Court of the 1%) to the dogma of one economic ISM versus another, “we are not confined by foreordained rules, and society [THE 99%] by taking thought, may add a cubit to its stature.”
As such, without either the reason or how-to fixed firmly in sight, the 99% movement WILL continue and will prevail, should that require “off with their heads” or not.

MEDIA “OCCUPY MOVEMENT” NARRATIVE MAY BE MISSING THE BOAT?
MEDIA reports with some measure of contempt the allegation that the “OCCUPY MOVEMENT” is “without much direction” and “without any clear goals” and “without a single proposed means or plans for achieving any such goal, were they to exist, which they do NOT”.
While it may be easier to report in this fashion than the FACT that some aspects of the “OCCUPY MOVEMENT” are further along in these respects than some others.
FACT: The blanket representation of the OCCUPY MOVEMENT in this manner is entirely incorrect, inappropriate and, if it still matters, UNFAIR.
FACT: By way of example, in the case of “OCCUPY HEALTHCARE NOW” the website USASinglePayerOption.com clearly contradicts such reports.
IN FACT: The website sets forth a clear goal for “OCCUPY HEALTHCARE” and articulates a broad time frame; as well as outlines a solid plan AND a specific proposal for carrying it through to fruition. Further, it alleges that a viable means already exists, in connection with our nation’s existing public debt, for capitalizing the long-term effort, as well as, subsequent to an initial “Pump Priming”, for underwriting the very substantial up-front infrastructural spending necessary for carrying out that plan.
THAT SAID: The MEDIA narrative should no longer be that the OCCUPY MOVEMENT has NOT set forth any clear goals and objectives and/or plans for implementation.
