REVOLUTION BEGINS IN OAKLAND. MARINES JOIN IN WITH PROTESTORS.

In a sign of true solidarity with the real heroes of our nations, the new group "Occupy Marines," have asked off duty marines to join the cause. The group began after videos circulated online of a Marine confronting New York City police, questioning their tactics used against Occupy Wall Street demonstrators. In a video that has received nearly 2.5 million views, Marine Sgt. Shamar Thomas of Roosevelt, N.Y. an Iraq War veteran, spoke out to police in New York's Times Square, charging that they were over-reacting to Occupy marchers - and shaming their uniform.

"This is a not a war zone," Thomas said. "These are unarmed people. It doesn't make you tough to hurt these people. If you want to go fight, go to Iraq or Afghanistan.

"Leave these people alone," he yelled. "They're U.S. citizens! U.S.! Stop hurting these people, man. Why are you all doing to it to our people?

"They don't have guns! It doesn't make any sense!

"How do you sleep at night? There is no honor in this. There is no honor in what you're doing to these people! ...You're here to protect us!"

They have also promised support for helping the protesters survive winter conditions and if anyone could do that, our brave men and women across the armed services certainly can. If you look at any revolution across the planet, it always seems to be the cops that are the storm troopers for the elites and the military sides with the protesters. Egypt, Tunisia, Greece and Portagul are good examples of this. Only in dictatorial areas like Yemen or Syria do the military crush all opposition and thankfully, this shows we are not there yet.

Unfortunately, mayors across the country haven't quite got the idea that these protests aren't going away and in Oakland, CA this past week, a riot broke out started by, of course, the police. They sacked a protest movement claiming "safety" concerns and responded by firing rubber bullets and tear gas at the protesters to make them disperse. In the process many were injured, including Scott Olsen, an Iraqi war veteran who was critically injured in the melee. After being hit in the back of the head with a bean bag projectile at close range, any who tried to help were assaulted by police. Way to serve your country you fascist pigs. If Oakland turns into a war zone, please do remember that due to budget cuts, half your police force got laid off last year. May I also remind you that if Scott Olsen dies, you have just given the protesters their first martyr for the cause. If you look at the first people to get killed in any revolution, the cops are the first to get sacked and their families. In Egypt and Tunsia, after the state police force tried to break the encampments or rebel strongholds, police stations across the cities were burned to the ground and reports of whole families belonging to the police were executed. If you don't think that could happen here, remember that we have more guns than anyone on the planet and if you keep this nonsense up, sooner or later people are going to use them, almost certainly against you. This is not a call to violence but a warning. Join the protests for the 99% of which you are included. Tell the politicians that you will not follow orders than are fascist in nature. Tell them that they are the ones that need to be afraid. Join us and help save the country. Be the Americans that we all want you to be.

We are THE 99. We do not forget. We do not forgive.

Fear us.
