Communism on the March in San Fran----‘OCCUPY WALL STREET WEST’ BLOCKS SAN FRANCISCO BANK ENTRANCES IN FIRST MAJOR ACTION THIS YEAR
(The Blaze/AP) At least 11 people have been arrested at an anti-Wall Street protest in downtown San Francisco for blocking an entrance to the Wells Fargo building in an attempt to completely shutdown the city’s financial district.
A couple hundred protesters have gathered in the Financial District as part of daylong Occupy Wall Street-related demonstrations scheduled around the county demanding that banks end evictions and foreclosures. Organizers of the protest are calling it “Occupy Wall Street West.”
The San Francisco Chronicle has more details:
“The protest was timed to coincide with Saturday’s two-year anniversary of the Citizens United decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, which removed limits on how much money corporations could donate to political causes. Protesters, many of whom supported the Occupy movement in the fall, said the decision exacerbated the divide between the rich and poor by handing too much power to big business.”
San Francisco Police Cmdr. Richard Corriea says the first arrests came when a group refused to move from their human chain blocking an entrance to Wells Fargo’s corporate headquarters. Traffic was rerouted through the area, as protesters spilled into the streets.
Corriea says all the arrests have been for alleged trespassing. Protesters are continuing to try blocking bank entrances, but police in riot gear and private security guards are chasing them away.
KGO-TV has footage from the start of the protests in San Francisco:
“Occupy Wall Street West” is being called by some the first major Occupy action of 2012 after the movement went into hibernation last month following their eviction from the Bay Area while similar protest encampments were ousted across the country.
Many Occupiers still remain enthusiastic and committed to their cause. One protestor, Jessica Horn, 27, of Madison, Wis., told the SF Chronicle that “Capitalism is a system that doesn’t work for the people and it must be destroyed. No landlords, no bosses, no banks.”

Posted on January 20, 2012 at 7:00pmThe Federal Reserve bank is another tentacle.
The Federal Reserve bank took Control of Our U.S. Treasury, due in part to the Federal Reserve act of 1913.
In 1933, America was declared bankrupt (Emergency banking Act) and the Federal Reserve Private bank seized America’s Land, Gov’t and PEOPLE as collateral under a International lien.
Birth certificates became law in all States in 1933. Social Security became law in 1936.
These are Security Bonds for the Trustholders.
In 1944 America was Quitclaimed to the IMF, which established the UN in 1945.
America is a Corporation, managed by the UN.
It has restructured and is ready to liquidate.
Agenda 21 is a preparation to sell off land to investors.
They need to show prospective buyers, clean and well-maintained lots.
It has already begun under Executive Order 12803. Infrastructure Privatization.
Jails are Privatized. Roads and Tolls are too. The Corporation of the United States just sold 50 square miles of UTAH to the Chinese to build a ALL-CHINESE city.
Although a majority of the OWS are misguided, and have a Different political Ideology, I RESPECT THEM 100%, for having the Courage to stand up to the Establishment.
Too bad the Conservatives and TEA Party aren’t following suit.
The TEA PARTY and OWS should be Protesting at the UN, the Federal Reserve Banks, and Washington D.C.
