Below is a letter from an Occupier. It seems fitting as an
introduction to the announcement of our Future of Occupy Denver
Meeting this Sunday 1/8/12:
Greetings and Happy New Year,
Evolve or die. These are the options presented not only to the Occupy
movement but to the human race. Humanity as we know it, and Occupy as
well, are at a crossroads. We are witnessing the collapse of our
natural world, our financial and economic systems as well as the
American way of life. But not all of this is bad. With the collapse we
are given the opportunity and responsibility to rebuild. To build a
better future based on sustainability and compassion for one another.
A world not lead by the desire for wealth accumulation and infinite
growth but a world based on community building and local resources. We
are witnessing the death throws of an empire. With death looming those
in power will do whatever it deems necessary to stay in power, ie.
NDAA & SOPA. These are actually good signs. It means they are afraid,
and they should be. As much as they have brainwashed us, poisoned us
and kept us subdued they cannot kill our collective desire for liberty
and justice for all. And so on September 17, 2011 the sleeping giant
came out of its hibernation. And like a virus we spread across the
country, waking up from our passive slumber. Pfizer cannot produce
enough Ambien to put this beast back to sleep.
And so here we are. We came out and took back public spaces. Letting
each other know that we are not alone in our feelings of anger and
distrust towards the ruling elite. We had rallies drawing thousands
into the streets of Denver to express their frustrations. And now
winter has settled in. This is the time for regrouping and organizing.
The stakes are way too high to let ego and petty drama get in the way.
The way I see it is that this is a life or death struggle. We don’t
have the time to waste on bullshit. No more infighting, put all past
differences aside and lets take this fucking country back! The real
enemies are the central bankers, the CEO’s destroying our planet, the
politicians killing our brothers, sisters and children. No person
should fear its government. The governments should fear their people.
Its time to strike fear in the heart of evil and start taking
(nonviolent) action.
We are not just protesting. We are not just complaining. We are
building a community. We are providing an outlet so that the solutions
to these complex problems can be heard. And soon we will be that force
that implements the solutions to save civilization. Make no mistake,
this is a very real battle. Sacrifices have and will continue to be
made. Its going to be a long hard struggle. But we are in this
struggle together. We are no longer alone. They have the money, we
have the numbers. And we all know the dollar ain’t worth shit. But a
million people in the streets, now that’s fucking priceless. 2012 is a
time for change. Be that change. Occupy Denver. Occupy America. Occupy
The World.In Solidarity,
Tanner
