The Occupation and General Strike in Oakland has gone wonderfully - still is as I write! Perhaps 20,000 took back their city - closing banks and the harbor and liberating a foreclosed and closed homeless shelter! The Police have been nowhere, but as I type are poised for arrests....it is about to get ugly....the Police causing it! The liberation of the building was done peacefully and with NO damage to the property - and that was true throughout the day. A few times provocateurs tried to break windows or point on walls of banks etc. and others in the crowd stopped them! A wonderful day is about to be spoiled by the Police - the blue meanies. Here come the Police...more soon! Over and out!
