Occupy Wall Street 10th Anniversary & the False Reconstruction of IED Iran Demonizing to Falsely Rationalize Soleimani Assassination Special guest, author and award winning investigative journalist Dave Lindorff joins Bringing Light Into Darkness tonight to address the excessive repression and violence that went largely unreported in the suppression of the two month long Occupy Wall Street (OWS) peaceful protests of ten years ago that called out the economic policies of our country and its history which have unfairly benefitted the richest "one percent" at the direct cost to the 99% and have framed the public dialogue to avoid acknowledging and examining this profound contradiction to liberty, democracy and the pursuit of happiness. The contradiction of the US having the most unequal wealth of the advanced OECD nations, along with the highest poverty and child poverty rates is juxtaposed with the fact that we are the wealthiest nation, materially speaking, of the world. We review articles written by our guest on the subject, including his 9/15/2021 piece, 10 Years on — How Occupy Wall Street Ended: Clampdown by Obama that Trump Emulated. We also review the focus of a 2/13/2007 piece he wrote on Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), Iran Charges: Lying White House and Credulous Media by Dave Lindorff (source: opednews.com) and the false image making that sought to portray Iran as their major manufacturers and reason so many Americans were dying and getting severely injured in the Iraq post invasion setting. It also has recently been reconstituted to ‘justify' the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani in January 2020 rather than considering the argument that it was a result of state terrorism by the US government. We discuss what other motives were more likely responsible for his assassination and let you decide. We review Lindorff's claim that there was a White House led nationally coordinated campaign to disrupt and crush the Occupy Movement. What type and to what degree was the repression of Occupy Wall Street that resulted in some 7000 arrests? Why did the press fail to report this with accuracy and why and how was many of the press kept from covering OWS repression? When peaceful protest can be so violently repressed, as our guest describes, yet there is no reporting of the techniques used by the Obama administration for us to learn from what does that say about democracy and dissent in the USA?

August 24 - October 15, 2020Kathleen O. Ellis GalleryOnline Artist Conversation: Friday, September 25, 5pmLight Work presents Queens-based artist Matthew Connors’ General Assembly. This exhibition comprises 650 portraits that span the first year of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) in New York City. An expansive project that pairs individual black and white portraits within a tightly formatted grid, General Assembly borrows its title from the movement’s term for its horizontal decision-making process. Connors made these black-and-white portraits in the charged atmosphere of Zuccotti Park, elsewhere in New York City at direct actions and during more contemplative moments before and after working group meetings.We encourage you to visit Light Work exhibitions online and to check out our catalog of artist videos, including an interview with exhibiting artist Matthew Connors.When Connors first arrived at Zuccotti Park in September of 2011, he had no intention of making photographs. He first gravitated to the congregation of protesters who occupied Manhattan’s Financial District out of simple curiosity. But as he observed Occupy Wall Street’s “wellspring of generative social organization,” he wondered how photography could contribute to the historical moment before him. Disturbed by the way that passersby were photographing protesters at a distance, he immersed himself in the activity of the movement and sought to use his camera as a tool of engagement.The process of creating the portraits involved lengthy conversations with the participants about their motivations and involvement in the movement. Building on these newly formed relationships, he regularly returned to demonstrations to photograph and offer each person he photographed a print of their portrait. For Connors, this ongoing exchange of images and ideas contributed to the “relational fabric” that Occupy was cultivating. In many of these portraits, the person gazes directly into the camera at the artist—and us—a rare and brave moment of trust and connection. A native New Yorker, Connors had begun to feel that his home was becoming a “city of strangers” pulled apart by gentrification’s economic power and frequent disruption. By distributing political power and reaching decisions more equitably, Occupy Wall Street sought to reestablish that community.—Matthew Connors received a BA in English Literature from the University of Chicago and an MFA in Photography from Yale University. He has exhibited his work in galleries and museums worldwide, including DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York. His awards include the Alice Kimball English Travelling Fellowship from the Yale School of Art (2004), the MacDowell Colony Fellowship (2010), the Virginia Center for Creative Arts Fellowship (2011), and the William Hicks Faculty Fellowship from the Massachusetts College of Art & Design (2012 and 2008). Since 2004 he has taught at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design in Boston, where he chairs the Photography Department. He lives and works in Boston, MA, and Brooklyn, NY.matthewconnors.com—Special thanks to Daylight Blue Mediadaylightblue.comLight Worklightwork.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In a December 2014 interview with Esquire, Micah White, one of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) founders said, “My thinking is moving away from protest. Instead, I’m more interested with…getting large numbers of people to change their behaviors, to de-pattern themselves…” He realized what he had been doing wasn’t working. For any of our activism to bring into effect the hoped for ideal of long-term systemic change, it would have to follow the lead of the likes of women’s suffrage. It would go beyond making ourselves feel better in the short-term and aim for changing the character of our imagined enemies. Martin Luther King calls this the double victory: “To our most bitter opponents we say: ‘We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We shall meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will, and we shall continue to love you… Throw us in jail and we shall still love you. Bomb our homes and threaten our children, and we shall still love you. Send your hooded perpetrators of violence into our community at the midnight hour and beat us and leave us half dead, and we shall still love you. But be ye assured that we will wear you down by our capacity to suffer. One day we shall win freedom but not only for ourselves. We shall so appeal to your heart and conscience that we shall win you in the process and our victory will be a double victory.’” parentspriestsgenerals.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dano-jukanovich/support

What role does food play in social movements? The “People's Kitchen” at Occupy Wall Street (OWS) at Zuccotti Park, in New York City served 3,000 meals a day for free from October 2011 until a police eviction in November 2011 ended the occupation of the park. Content on The Peoples Kitchen is included in Frederick Douglass Opie's book Southern Food and Civil Rights (American Palate, 2017).

Two years ago hundreds of people began to occupy Zuccotti Park in New York City in the heart of Wall Street. That occupation, Occupy Wall Street (OWS), exploded into hundreds of occupations around the country within a matter of weeks. We'll speak to three people who were part of OWS. Laura Gottesdiener who recently published" A Dream Foreclosed" will speak about Occupy Our Homes. Goldi Guerra will speak about the ongoing Occupy Sandy efforts including organizing for long term recovery in the affected areas. And Justin Wedes will announce a new financial service for the unbanked and underbanked, the Occupy Money cooperative. For more information, visit ClearingtheFOGRadio.org.

What are we to make of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement? What are its goals, its aspirations? Is it the left-wing equivalent of the Tea Party movement on the right? Is there any ideological coherence to this group?

This is the latest episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the weeks of November 16 & 23, 2011 {since we'll be out on vacation during Thanksgiving here in the States} with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary. Our extended commentary this week touched base on the NYPD's terrible treatment of the press & protesters during Occupy Wall Street (#OWS) including "free speech zones", the midnight raid on Zuccotti Park and more in New York City along with the 2 month anniversary of the international #Occupy movements, Protect-IP & SOPA acts that are trying to be passed in Congress and what that may meant to the Internet as we know it, our opinions on legendary Hip-Hop MC Busta Rhymes recent signing to the Cash Money label, a story from Florida that shows that burning a cross on your yard goes wrong to maintain your interracial marriage and some other diverse topics here and there. There are brand new Black Agenda Report, Black University Radio Network (B.U.R.N.) DIRECT EFX and Free Press "Media Minutes" mini-segments on this week's episode.
