Yesterday’s Occupy Nashville GA was a festive event as Occupiers celebrated Fat Tuesday, while getting down to the business at hand of dealing with fat cats and their minions. Plans were also made for a “die-in” on Legislative Plaza to commemorate the one year anniversary of the Fukushima disaster, at 12:45 Monday, 12 March.
Other actions include a 7 March rally at noon for “Civil, Worker, and Human Rights,” in concert with the United Campus Workers, which will “demand Governor Haslam and the General Assembly end the attacks on public workers, LGBT folks, local living wage ordinances, voting rights, immigrant rights, and our public services!”
Monday evening, 27 Feb. from 6:00 till 7:30, the Friends Meeting House at 530 26th Ave. North will host, “Occupy Nashville: What is it, What can it be?”
As if that isn’t enough, it looks like Feb. 27, Walkupy will arrive in Nashville. They are currently in Jasper, TN, and wending their way our way.http://www.flickr.com/photos/74334175@N05/6775766530/
With all this going on, one might forget that tomorrow, 23 Feb, the TN Senate will vote on the eviction bill. Friends of ON are asked to meet at the Plaza at about 8 am, and to write, call and e-mail their senators. Various members of ON have been meeting with senators, to put a human face to their message, and Ben and James of Occupy the Spirit of ON have been requesting that the Legislature, if it is interested in taking away their right to stay on the plaza, provide an alternative place to stay, in the spirit of Christianity. Meanwhile, ON has found a temporary haven, renting a building and land for a week so they can regroup.They will continue to maintain a presence on the Plaza 24/7.
After GA, they broke out the money tent. Deciding that if money was free speech, but tents were not, what would happen if they combined the two?
It could get funky:

Kruschev was a typical peasant type guy, and as such, he was phenomenal.
I was in a work place where there were many from all over the world, and some of them were Russians, and so, and also, because we, were of that belielf system… that is: a concept that there should be consideration of the well being, or the well being of the populace…. or that there should be some little bit of concern… as to the well being of the little assholes… in their gadamned multitudes… !
So as I was digressing from, the Russians that we had in our little world of work, the waterfront… the San Francisco waterfront, that is. We had people from all over the gadamned planet, right there on the SF waterfront, and that was a lot of fun, but that was a long time ago, now, now it is all containers.
Kruschev hammering on the podium with his own shoe, that was monumental!
That is the image of the peasant showing some strength!
Not your pathetic Anglicanized extrusion… plastered all over another continent, where there was beautiful browned skinned folks, who lived in harmony with the earthly orbs and wups.
Hey don’t get it wrong now, I am one of those f’n nordic and maybe anglisised, not too sure, ain’t no gadamned Limey though, scotch-Irish-welsh, f’n Brits.
English is an amalgam of nordic, romance, greek, they stole the words from other languages, or borrowed em, OK, but so they are some kind of people, them, who take from other cultures, and make it theirs, got to see that as a pretty cool thing.
There might be more to the story, stay tuned.
