Not having a spokesperson is so bloomin smart. I know the talking heads are focusing on this as the movements weakness. But it is in fact brilliant. The media are frothing at the mouth to find the "head" of the movement. They need this person so they can systematically discount them as well as the movement. They would destroy this person's homelife, sociallife, professional life, and character, if ONLY THEY COULD FIND THEM!!
The other most impressive strategy of the movement is the insistance on General Assembly. It prevents infiltration from individuals intent upon razing the movement. It is difficult to get past the whole group, with a suspicious agenda. It also makes it difficult to sabotage the inner workings of the occupation.
BUT the most brilliant of the Occupy Wallstreet foresight, was the multi message, multi activist, multi unionist, diversity in the "messages". I absolutely LOVE it when the Media Kings say, "What do these people want?" or "they don't have a message..." It makes them look pitifully ignorant. Its like a big puzzle, and they honestly believe that their viewers are as confused as they want them to be. Well, good luck with that guys!
This movement is growing. It is remaining true to the nature of at it's core. 99% of the nation has a beef with corporate political rapists and plunderers. The particular instances will be diverse and individually important. But the movement itself is not fractured at all. The movement is cohesive, coherent, committed and consolidated. It will prevail. It is spreading around the globe. It has allies in all sorts of invaluable places. The only portion of the 99% that doesn't agree with, understand or at least empathize with this movement will never be able to. They aren't capable of independent thinking. They don't even know how lucky the are to have this growing voice crying out for change, for them.
