wearethe99percent: I am the former lead singer of a 60’s band THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS. I performed before thousands at Atlanta Pop2, Miami Pop, Newport Pop, Atlantic pop. I didn’t squander my money on drugs or a million dollar home. I went from 1967-1994 before I saw my first royalty check from a music giant I recorded 7 albums with. I have NEVER seen a penny in royalties from the other 10 albums I recorded. Our hit song was licensed to over 100 films, tv, & commercials WITHOUT our permission. One of the major tv network used our song for a national commercial and my payment was only $625. I am now 72 and am trying to live on $1200 a month. SWEET RELIEF, a music charity is taking donations for me. Only the 1% rich artists can afford to sue. I AM ONE OF THE 99% Zoom

Inspirational speech by Charlie Chaplin from the The Great Dictator, illustrated by library images from the present, with music by Hans Zimmer from the soundtrack for Inception, given weightiness by the Occupy movement. Great stuff, despite not really having an ending.

It appears on closer inspection, that this is some sort of meme that I don’t quite understand. So many versions and variations, so many duplicates:

I visited OccupyLA on Saturday, October 15, not knowing what to expect. I was totally blown away by the spirit and diversity of thousands of human beings coming together to demonstrate peacefully and creatively against the systemic exploitation of the international public by corrupt corporations. — Angeline Gragasin

If protest propaganda were more like this, I’d be more revolutionary.

In response to the U.S. media portrayal of #occupywallstreet as a sad bunch of urine stained, filthy pinko commie hippy losers, Steven Greenstreet & Brandon Bloch reveal the truth about practising democracy.
