E a polícia de Nova York aproveitou a madrugada dessa terça pra tirar os protestantes do Zuccotti Park.

Mal sabem eles que isso não vai terminar tão cedo…

Frank Miller é contra o Occupy Wall Street

E por uns motivos reaças nada a ver, olha o que ele escreveu em seu blog

Everybody’s been too damn polite about this nonsense:

The “Occupy” movement, whether displaying itself on Wall Street or in the streets of Oakland (which has, with unspeakable cowardice, embraced it) is anything but an exercise of our blessed First Amendment. “Occupy” is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.

“Occupy” is nothing short of a clumsy, poorly-expressed attempt at anarchy, to the extent that the “movement” – HAH! Some “movement”, except if the word “bowel” is attached – is anything more than an ugly fashion statement by a bunch of iPhone, iPad wielding spoiled brats who should stop getting in the way of working people and find jobs for themselves.

This is no popular uprising. This is garbage. And goodness knows they’re spewing their garbage – both politically and physically – every which way they can find.

Wake up, pond scum. America is at war against a ruthless enemy.

Maybe, between bouts of self-pity and all the other tasty tidbits of narcissism you’ve been served up in your sheltered, comfy little worlds, you’ve heard terms like al-Qaeda and Islamicism.

And this enemy of mine — not of yours, apparently – must be getting a dark chuckle, if not an outright horselaugh – out of your vain, childish, self-destructive spectacle.

In the name of decency, go home to your parents, you losers. Go back to your mommas’ basements and play with your Lords Of Warcraft.

Or better yet, enlist for the real thing. Maybe our military could whip some of you into shape.

They might not let you babies keep your iPhones, though. Try to soldier on.

Schmucks.

Paranóia pouca é bobagem. E isso tudo dito pelo cara que fez essa cena abaixo, como lembrou o Bleeding Cool.

R. Crumb e OccupyWallStreet

Em entrevista ao Mother Jones:

MJ: I read on your website that one reason for going to France was that you had become disgusted with America. What do you mean by that?
RC: Well, the corporatization of culture. We lived in inland California, the Central Valley, and we witnessed over a period of 20 years of this invasion of shopping malls and corporate businesses and everything, and it lost all of its old character. Any kind of authentic character that it had was rapidly getting lost. The expanding urban development was just horrible to behold.

MJ: Have you been following Occupy Wall Street at all?
RC: Oh yeah, it’s great stuff. I think they should stay there, and persist and persist until they have some effect. I don’t know what effect they can have. I was thinking about it last night, I was laying in bed, thinking, “Can this thing have any effect on the wealthy establishment?” They’re so entrenched, they’re so powerful. I don’t know if they even care that people go there and demonstrate. What will it take, an armed revolution? That’s violent, and I’m kind of against violence. Violence begets violence, and then you get leaders who are violent men. And you don’t want that. You don’t want some Stalin in there as your left-wing leader. But it’s a great thing to see. I kinda thought that the American youth were very complacent and indifferent about all that, or just didn’t know what to do. But somebody got this thing going.

Mais uma dica do Ramon.

Anonymous x Irmandade Muçulmana

O novo alvo do grupo de hackers Anonymous é a Irmandade Muçulmana que, segundo o grupo, “está esperando tomar o poder no Egito para tornar uma nova revolução impossível”, comparando o grupo com a Igreja da Cientologia e frisando a separação entre a Irmandade Muçulmana e o islamismo. Segue a íntegra do anúncio, em inglês, que agenda o ataque para a próxima sexta-feira:

Citizens of the World,

We are Anonymous.

Ever since its revolution that shook the world, Egypt has had its fate undecided. Predators who seek to control are waiting to strike at the right moment. They are waiting to take over the country and make it so that another revolution is impossible. We cannot allow this.

The Muslim Brotherhood has become a threat to the revolution Egyptians had fought for, some with their lives. They seek to destroy the sovereignty of the people of Egypt as well as other nations including the United States.

We will not allow this to happen.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a threat that must be dealt with.

This is not a threat towards the religion of Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood, as well as terrorist organizations affiliating with the religion, defiled and destroyed the very essence of what the religion preaches. Therefore, the Muslim Brotherhood does not represent the true ideas of Islam. In our collective, many of us are Muslim, yet we fight against the corruption in society and the injustice that comes with it.

Infused with its blatant, corrupt ways, the Brotherhood is now a threat to the people.

Therefore, Anonymous has decided to destroy the Muslim Brotherhood. We shall proceed to dismantle any form of its organization from the Internet. Nothing will stop us. We will show no mercy.

Operation Brotherhood Takedown, engaged.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive.
We do not Forget.
Expect Us.

Vi no Examiner. Não custa lembrar que, na semana passada, o braço mexicano do Anonymous ameaçou entregar os nomes dos envolvidos no tráfico de drogas local, mas voltou atrás pouco depois

Não custa lembrar também que até há pouco mais de um ano sequer sabíamos da existência do Anonymous. Aliás, há pouco mais de um ano estávamos começando a nos acostumar a ouvir falar num certo Julian Assange…

Atari Teenage Riot em pleno 2011

Não imaginávamos que, quando eles deixaram de ser a música do futuro (por volta de 2001), eles poderiam voltar a ser ouvidos – e fazer sentido – dez anos depois, concordando com os Anonymous e os Occupy. Palmas pro Alec Empire.
