You don’t hear much about the Occupy movement in the news anymore. But it’s not due to a lack of news worthy stories. The mainstream news has gone black on the Occupy movement because of what it represents.
See, the same five (5) corporations that produce over 90% of all of our media are amongst those being targeted by the Occupy movement. It is safe to assume that decision makers for these companies will be smart enough to minimize the airspace given to any opposing interests, hence the lack of Occupy coverage.
Yet the people’s uprising has never been stronger. More individuals get involved every day, and those who are already engaged in the process continue to grow more energized and organized.
Take the Reddit group Occupy Wall Street, for example. After three and a half months of consistent growth, membership will breach the 30,000 person mark this week. Along the same lines, the Occupy Wall Street Facebook group now has over 360,000 fans, and the discussion rages on louder than it ever has before.
People really are waking up! It’s a slow process, what with the fierce grip the mainstream media (and other institutions) hold over the social consciousness. But it’s still happening!
The shared vision of a more just civilization has become too real in the minds of too many people. There is no going back now. It’s freedom or bust, and there is no earthly force greater than that of millions of humans working together.
