Comedian Roseanne Barr, rappers Lupe Fiasco and Immortal Technique join thousands who are participating in "Occupy Wall Street" a protest against the Wall Street Bailout, government spending, 9-11 controversies, skyrocketing unemployment, war and other issues that have left many Americans frustrated and disgusted with the current state of affairs.
What did Gil Scott say decades ago, "
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised"
I guess the US is trying to avoid a London-esk rebellion, or perhaps, attempting to incite one; however, this is class struggle at its best.

An article by
Activism Suite 101 Reads:
Occupy Wall Street enters its second week amid talk of mainstream
media blackout. Celebrities and American heroes have been showing up in
New York, lending their support and hoping that their presense will
galvanise the big name news outlets into reporting on the protest. The
latest rumour is that Eminem has indicated he is on his way.
The Academy award winning rapper won't be alone. An estimated 1,000 -
2,000 people are anticipated to join the march, at noon on September
24th 2011, including people from Liverpool, in Great Britain. Their ship
is due to dock in New York City ahead of the largest gathering yet.
Lupe Fiasco and Immortal Technique Join the March in NYC
Chart-topping rappers Lupe Fiasco and Immortal Technique have both
shown their support for Occupy Wall Street this week. As well as
marching with protesters through the streets, both men mingled with the
crowds gathered in Zuccotti Park (renamed Liberty Plaza by those
occupying it). They signed autographs and each stood up to speak to
those assembled.

A friend of mine shared beautifully, vivid images that protestor Jeff Prager has shared. I do not hold any ownership to the these photos, these are Mr. Jeff Prager's. I'm just getting word out.
