Wow, I am actual morbidly surprised that I didn't find one thread on the matter...
Anyway, I'm not sure people know or not but:
It all started with a group called "Anonymous", they were constantly bombarded with negative propaganda, and the like. They were made famous for hacking Sony, because all of the illegal things they've been doing.
Meaning that their motives were for "us", the people. People of course, didn't believe them, and said that they're nothing but terrorist, etc.
Well, they then planned to get their message to change the world for the better in another way. They then coined the phrase, "1 Year, 3 Phases: A world of changed". Which soon caught on. They created something called "#Operation: Paperstorm". It is "#Op-ps" for short...
To everyone's surprise, and even Anonymous', lots of people participated. Anonymous' video. News spread about it and they thought they got their message out enough. But then... the "Bart Police" started arresting people for simply wearing a "Guy Fawkes" mask. A couple people were even, tazed, maced, or beat. Anonymous' response to this was hacking the official BART police server, and trashing the whole site, leaving a message that said, "You were taking away rights, that you have no right to take away! Harming people for simply wearing a mask must not go unpunished! Expect Us...".
Which the government didn't respond to happy about. Anonymous members were arrested. But that just stirred up more trouble. Anonymous then hacked into a Goverment server, and found out they were planning to post files that would lead to the arrest of about 200 or so people, they then deleted all the files and that was that.
They then, created another operation called; "Operation: WallStreet".
People were to Occupy Wallstreet for an amount of time, until they got what they wanted. (Which I will tell in a moment...) Well, normal civilians actually agreed with what they were doing so they started to join in. They wanted to end the feds. Claiming that, the power should be for the people and that's what our forefathers wanted. They want to get rid of WallStreet, since they basically turned our economy to shit. Saying, "The Federal government should be nothing but, protection and securing our borders..."
While people were protesting, Wallstreet's residents went on their balconies, and began mocking the protesters. They toasted champagne and some even pulled out chairs and ate popcorn. The most famous one pulled out a megaphone saying, "Ha, Look at all the poor people!".
That made everyone mad. (Which is rightfully so...) Protesters turned to Anonymous, they promised that they'd get the word out. However, they didn't have to. In support more and more people began to "Occupy Wallstreet".
People flew, and bused all the way to wallstreet just to help protest.
Then someone thought of an idea, to use social networking to get the message out further. They then created: "Occupy: Chicago" to help out with wallstreet. More and more people began to fallow suite.
#Occupy: Indianapolis....#Occupy: San Jose...#Occupy: Washington D.C.
and thousands of people began to appear to all these meeting grounds.
Protesters, Middle/Lower Class, Union Workers, Students, Teachers, Veterans, and many other people were joining these movements.
Meanwhile, people at Wallstreet are being arrested for literally, no reason. Not just arrested... Beaten, bludgeoned, maced, and kicked.
By this point Anonymous made a video. They said to the United States civilians,"Fear not for all eyes are upon us! Other nations are seeing how we are being treated, etc." To everyone's surprise it was true!
It was being broadcasted to other countries! People then flew from
Spain, Italy, The U.K. Mexico and Canada, to help the protesters out.
By now, there were Occupy Movements, in over 1000 cities across the United States. It got "Too big to ignore...". President Obama, had to address the matter, with not much to say.
Other countries have since, been inspired to create their own Occupy movement;
#Occupy: Britain...#Occupy: Austrailia... #Occupy: Japan....
All of these countries wanted different things but they recognized that their governments were screwed up just as bad as the U.S'.
Still, a lot of people have came from other countries to aid in...
#Operation: Wallstreet, now called "the Occupy Movement". This has been going for about 3 and a half weeks...
Occupy Movements have been even on College Campuses as well...
Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

I'm not sure if this really qualifies as news.

Well, if necessary, move this to the talk forum...

I fully support many ideas of the occupy movement (redistribution of wealth, etc), but the lack of clear and coherent demands makes me hesitate in supporting the movement itself. What I've heard basically amounts to "we're mad as hell and not going to take it anymore."
There are a lot of people with a lot of different ideas in the movement too. I don't really support the anarchists, for example (though I understand where they're coming from). I will support anyone asking for a modern day New Deal, though.
