"What Makes Non-Violent Movements Explode?"

9. Strikes and boycotts. What OWS did was extremely successful, for a start, which is what

it was meant to be. Way bigger than they had intended.

The aticipated the media ignoring them, so they created their own media. All over the world.

That was planned, and at first, while media trucks were present at Zuccotti Park, there was no coverage, at least not on the MSM. But there WAS media coverage elsewhere.

And then the NYPD themselves in trying to stamp out these protesters, were the ones to GET coverage in the MSM that no one had expected.

Their own handling of the publicity THEY wanted, was brilliant. Which is why THAT is what the NYPD tried to destroy and eventually did, well sort of.

But now it's on to the next phase, people have been informed about Wall St thanks to OWS. And their influence on this country's government.

I agree that Boycotts and Strikes should be the next phase before the TPP passes and Corps will simply ship in workers from third world countries.
