Tens of thousands -- if not hundreds of thousands -- of people have taken to the streets over the past four weeks across the United States as part of an Occupy Wall Street movement to protest the intolerable conditions of massive unemployment, growing inequality, rampant home foreclosures, and stepped-up cuts in the social safety net. Their outrage has been especially focused against the bailout of Wall Street, while Main Street has been left to languish, and the takeover of the political system by big-money interests.
A growing number of trade unionists have joined this movement, (If not, were who started it to begin with) first as individual workers, then as part of an increasing number of union contingents that have joined the OWS activists to build large protest actions, often with more focused political demands.
One of the largest actions in the San Francisco Bay Area, for example, witnessed thousands of union and community activists -- mostly Black and Latino -- marching to Wells Fargo Bank on October 12 in response to a call by the union-based Jobs with Justice, Causa Justa and other organizations to demand an immediate halt to home evictions and a moratorium on foreclosures. Their leaflet included the following wording:

Could the same thing happen here in Australia?
Well, it just so happens that the Australian Communist Party here in Australia has already ....and is staging another "Occupation" here in Sydney shortly.

Hypocrites much?
They remind me of our first century sicarii terrorists, ...who would use a sickle to slaughter one of their own in a crowded place, then scream "Murder, Murder" blaming another for the deed, some even going so far as to start movements to "catch the murderer", gathering gullible participants along the way who in good faith think they are fighting a common cause.
