Occupy warns: “We are announcing these blockades now as a fair warning to the rest of the working people of New York and New Jersey who are considering joining the strikes and mobilizations of the day: the city will be shut down, so enjoy the day without the 99%!”
Occupy Wall Street is threatening to “shut down” New York City as part of May Day protests that includes plans to block Manhattan-bound bridges and tunnels.
As WND reported today, the move comes as Occupy has partnered with an anarchy movement to deploy joint chaotic actions aimed at protesting capitalism.
The bridge and tunnel plot is openly announced on Occupy’s official website.
“On May 1, 2012, autonomous direct action groups within Occupy Wall Street, as a part of the global mobilizations for general strike and economic non-compliance, will block one or more Manhattan-bound bridges or tunnels to protest the shameful opulence of the 1%.”
Occupy warns: “We are announcing these blockades now as a fair warning to the rest of the working people of New York and New Jersey who are considering joining the strikes and mobilizations of the day: the city will be shut down, so enjoy the day without the 99%!”
The protest is part of Occupy’s nationwide Day of Action planned for May 1.
Writing at the Huffington Post, Danny Schechter, editor of Mediachannel.org, warned Occupy may be co-opted by anarchy groups that could turn violent.
