We May Be Witnessing the First Large Global Conflict Where People Are Aligned by Consciousness and Not Nation State or Religion

They're fighting a "corporatocracy" that has bought governments, created armed enforcers, engaged in systemic economic fraud, and plundered treasuries and ecosystems.

America's politicians, it seems, have had their fill of democracy. Across the country, police, acting under orders from local officials, are breaking up protest encampments set up by supporters of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement - sometimes with shocking and utterly gratuitous violence.

In the worst incident so far, hundreds of police, dressed in riot gear, surrounded Occupy Oakland's encampment and fired rubber bullets (which can be fatal), flash grenades and tear-gas canisters - with some officers taking aim directly at demonstrators. The Occupy Oakland Twitter feed read like a report from Cairo's Tahrir Square: "they are surrounding us"; "hundreds and hundreds of police"; "there are armoured vehicles and Hummers". There were 170 arrests.

Activists & Awakened Ones: Have Patience

Unity, as one stand together

With the occupy movement in full force, people from all backgrounds are begining to tear down the illusions of seperation and come together as humanity.

Beyond the typical juxtaposition of class, race and age, we are also seeing people from different political backgrounds and activist movements. Code Pink, Union Workers, We Are Change are just a few organizations that have joined the call to stand up for humanity.

But beyond the government and media doing their part to dutifully divide the movement, a less than attractive behavior is starting to be seen in blogs on social network sites and in videos.... the elitist activist.

In rejecting a system that unfairly distributes wealth, power and knowledge to a few selected families and individuals, this should be avoided at all costs.

Certain activists and "awakened ones" are starting to show anger and frustration towards those that perhaps do not have a more expanded understanding of what is going on in the world (as if any of us actually do - the more you learn, the less you know).

But we must have patience, this is the awakening, this is what it looks like... people are coming out of their slumber and need a little time to wipe the sleep out of their eyes.

#Occupy Wall Street

Yes, yes, yes! Kudos to the people on the streets of New York City right now protesting wall street/ the bakers / the fed / our sham money system! #occupywallstreet

One of the slogans being tossed around is we are the 99%.It's time for us to stand up as the 99% and take the power back.

As the stated theme of the much anticipated Awake and Aware Conference this weekend suggests... "How a unified global consciousness is the real game changer" actions like this are working to spread this consciousness of change, of taking things into our own hands and working towards creating a better world. The 1% has the rest of us needlessly suffering.

We are the 99%!

Support for Occupy Wall Street is growing by the hour. Solidarity actions in Chicago, Phoenix and Paris, France, are all getting off the ground. In Los Angeles, Cleveland, and Atlanta, actions are in the works. Each of these may be occupations. And, now there is indication the Industrial Workers of the World will have members at the site supporting the occupation plus it appears Sojourner’s, a Christian Left organization, is taking an interest in the action.
