I think John Robb nails it: Occupy Wall Street is an Open Source Protest! It is clear our "democracy" has been hi-jacked by the financial sector. So yes, the protest is staged at the source of power. And this power center is a cesspool of corruption and is not accountable to the people.
And the protest itself is leaderless, and amorphous, and constantly evolving. This is a source of strength, not weakness for the movement. And just where is it moving? Well, since it's "open source" my suggestion would be major re-distribution of wealth.
We need a thriving middle class! We need to take care of the poor!
Maybe this is the beginning... of something... big...
And as I understand it, it was the "Culture-Jammers" @ Ad Busters who initially cooked this up! Cool! They are calling on the 99% of us who have been left behind by the "swimming- in - fithly - lucre" 1 % -ters!
