#OccupyVancouver: #GlobalRevolution!

I would be remiss if I didn't comment on the fabulous spirit of protest, democracy and solidarity happening on our beautiful and sunny Westcoast.

Read some commentary and watch some videos.

Exclusive: #OccupyWallStreet Activist Slams Fox News Producer In Un-Aired Interview [Video]

here is an interview that Fox News filmed, but doesn’t want you to see. The segment was shot on Wednesday for Greta van Susteren‘s show, (though it looks like the same producer from this O’Reilly segment questioning Michael Moore‘s anti-capitalist agenda) though the decision was made to leave it on the cutting room floor. The reason should be obvious pretty quickly.

The speaker giving Fox News the buisness is Jesse LaGreca, a vocal member of the Occupy Wall Street protests. This video comes courtesy of Kyle Christopher from OccupyWallSt.org‘s media team.
