I am surprised that it is so baffling to you. A community bank stores the community's money, then it lends that money back within that community. So people from Brooklyn arent putting it in Chase to have Chase lend it to white people in Westchester, the community bank loans it to other people in Brooklyn. It isn't window dressing, it is real power shift. OWS has been going on for six weeks only. The people smashing windows in Oakland are a tiny minority of Occupy Oakland let alone the movement as a whole. They are idiot hoodlums. So much more is going on.
In my crew we have identified candidates, we have a couple of PACs in the works, we have fundraisers, we have organizational apps that incumbents couldn't even use if they wanted to due to their own data legacy issues.
This isn't about street theater, that is just the commercial. We are building an alternate power structure at every level.
Our own media, our own candidates, even our own banks.
You want to know where our own military is? The V switch hasn't been flipped yet. America is lucky Scott Olsen didn't die.
The canary didn't die because this mine is dangerous, it died because it's lazy and wasn't raised with a proper work ethic.
