Karl Rove Flips Out At Protesters:
‘Who Gave You The Right To Occupy America?’
By Zaid Jilani
Last night, former Bush official Karl Rove appeared at Johns Hopkins University to speak as a part of the annual Milton S. Eisenhower Symposium. Rove soon discovered that he wasn’t going to deliver his right-wing rhetoric unopposed, as a cry of “Mic Check!” rang out among the audience. “Karl Rove is the architect of Occupy Iraq, the architect of Occupy Afghanistan!” yelled the demonstrators. Occupy Baltimore had infiltrated the crowd and began chanting against Rove.
“Who gave you the right to occupy America?” asked Rove to the protesters, apparently unaware of the Bill of Rights. As they repeated their slogan, “We are the 99 percent!” Rove petulantly responded, “No you’re not!” He snidely added, “You wanna keep jumping up and yelling that you’re the 99 percent? How presumptuous and arrogant can you think are!”

Picture Michael Stallman
Citizens of the world.
We are Anonymous.
We have been monitoring the events currently taking place. The decision made by the New York Police Department and the city of New York displeases us. A city cannot have the power to destroy the people's right to free speech and assembly.
We've been called by various supporters of the Occupy Wall Street movement for our help. We will not disappoint them. We shall continue to target New York Supreme Court Justice Michael Stallman until he repeals his decision and allows the protesters to return to camp in Zuccotti Park.
In addition, we have decided to take drastic measures in ensuring that this happens. We have released Justice Michael Stallman's private information as well as others supporting his decision.
Citizens of the world, hear us now. The time has come to rise up. It is time to rise up against the system. The system has now met its match, and the people shall prevail. We will participate in this war. There will be no stopping us. If the government presents a threat to us, they will expect no mercy. We shall terminate this system, indefinitely.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive.
We do not Forget.
Expect us.

Mazdur Kranti Parishad (MKP) has been active in West Bengal for the last five years, functioning primarily as a political organization of the working people. It consists of workers and employees of various factories and institutions, laborers belonging to the unorganized sector, landless laborers in the farm sector, daily-wage earners, poor farmers and various other working people.
Soon after its inception in 2006, MKP became an active constituent of the Singur movement to protect the farmers’ rights over their cultivable lands and livelihoods. The ruling left front government of the time had unleashed brutal terror via police to break the people’s resistance and like others, MKP activists had also been physically assaulted on numerous occasions. At the time when Ms. Mamata Banerjee was fasting in December 2006 to force the government return the farmers’ lands, MKP leader and worker of the Hindmotor Car factory, Mr. Avas Munsi had accompanied her in the fast for 20 straight days! In 2007 February when the Singur farmers decided to break the fortification put up by the TATAs in their lands, the MKP leadership was in the forefront of that movement and bore the brunt of the police excesses.

The purpose and non-coverage of Occupy Wall Street
Revolution #250, November 13, 2011
The following was sent out by Revolution distributors in New York City:
1 a.m., Tuesday, November 15, the NYPD moved in to shut down Occupy Wall Street. With helicopters overhead, the police moved into Zuccotti Park, blocking off the surrounding area, blocks away. Reports on the Occupy Wall Street web site are that subway stations in the vicinity and the Brooklyn Bridge have been closed, and there is a massive police presence at Canal and Broadway. The livestream shows a huge police force trashing the tents and throwing people’s possessions in large piles and in dumpsters. The NYPD destroyed the OWS Library, throwing 5,000 donated books in a dumpster. People are being arrested. The site reports that press helicopters were evicted from airspace over the park. People on the scene, five blocks away, are being pushed back by the police, pepper sprayed was used, and arrests made. The New York Times reported, “The police move came as organizers put out word on their Web site that they planned to ‘shut down Wall Street’ with a demonstration on Thursday to commemorate the completion of two months of the beginning of the encampment, which has spurred similar demonstrations across the country.” People are planning a demonstration on Tuesday to protest this outrage.
