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.

#occupywallstreet on the Brooklyn Bridge, October 1, 2011. Day 14. 700+ protestors are arrested after thousands march from Liberty Plaza to the Brooklyn Bridge.

I’m becoming increasingly fascinated with protest movies.

The low resolution mobile phone clips from the Arab Spring are one genre of reportage. Along with LiveStream, they are the Twitter of protest movies, which show what’s happening now.

And then there are more considered movies like this one, which are edited and published within a day or so. They are like the blog posts of protest movies.

#OccupyWallStreet protesters use their womanly guile to draw police into attacking them with pepper spray, resulting in the inevitable images of young, white middle class women on their knees blind and screaming in agony as the result of their peaceful efforts to rescue the government from it’s capture by the banks and restore democracy to their troubled nation.

Part 1 in a 3 part series.

One in a series of posters for #occupywallstreet on September 17. A simple mashup of 2 signs. Very efficient design.

One in a series of posters for #occupywallstreet on September 17. Damien Hirst’s diamond skull is undoubtedly going to become the emblem of the age. Money. Death. Excess. Poverty. Slavery. Art…. heavy metal.
