Occupy Oakland protester faces a tank. That’s right, a tank.
The “Occupy” demonstrations indicate the symbiotic relationship occurring between activists and technology. When combined, they become an effective means in raising awareness to issues that may never reach mainstream media circles. Although public revolts are nothing new, social media has accelerated the process, not only when it comes to organizing and expressing public opinion but also tearing down the information walls that once divided nations.
A stylish old man dozes on an L.A. subway car Sunday evening after youths put up a poster for the May 1 Occupy event happening in the city and elsewhere. I snagged a copy of the cat poster, which I really like.
From the standpoint of communication revolutions, I’m particularly fascinated that the poster contains such sparse information, just a date and a Twitter hash tag. Those who check out #M1GS will finds lots of talk and connections for Occupy events on May 1 around the country. Fascinating.

This is a regime that is backed by the United States and its allies.
