What a load of shit. Sam Adams – you want people to pack it up? I know you’ve been trying to advance that message through your contacts in the camp. Guess what? You’re going to have to reveal yourself for the thug that you are. You’re going to have to order your lackies to come in with weapons to remove the occupation. It’s not going anywhere. And if you try to shut it down, be prepared for a response. You don’t get to decide what happens here. The 99% do.

And I’ll add that it’s clear to me that this is just another in a long line of manufactured crisis put forward by the Mayor’s office in order to disrupt the occupation and keep it distracted from growing into a powerful social movement. The problems the occupation faces mirror the problems in society at large and we are working collectively to address them. If the Mayor decides to use force to close the camps, we need everyone who thinks that this movement is too important to give up on to flood the camps and defend them. Don’t let Sam Adams and the 1% decide when it’s time for us to go home. This may be our last opportunity – we won’t let it go without a fight.
