The Los Angeles occupation is growing. On Friday, Nov. 11, 2011 (11-11-11) at 4:00 pm there begins an all-night Protest Fest concert/dance/rave. It will feature various DJ in the plaza under the southside steps. STOMP @ City Hall promises to be the largest peaceful action since tents brought back the spirit of a 1960's style youth movement that can no longer be dismissed by the mainstream media as mere "camping." There will be DJs, meditation, yoga, tables, big tents, and all the features Occupy LA has grown famous for in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. Bring your ideas to the movement during the planning stages, at the [alternative] media tent, and put a West Coast twist on this party for the 99%.

It started with 12 students on Wall Street...
(Daily Mail/NewWorldOrderReport.com) Protest enters [another] week with activists in Los Angeles saying they will remain "indefinitely." Demonstrators [unwilling to quietly accept] corporate greed along with U.S. banking and political systems [police abuse, endless war, poverty, hypocrisy...] Major cities across the U.S. are today bracing themselves for more protests against corporate America as the Occupy Wall Street campaign enters its [another] week and gathers pace. The demonstrations, which began in New York City, have already spread to Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Denver, and Seattle.
(EDC The Movie) Revolutionary rock and folk galvanized the '60s, as rave and punk do now. Sex, drugs, and raucous music are demonized just as they were in the '50s when repression led to the backlash called the Sixties.

11/11/11 (11:11 am) Meditation

Sundry groups sat in unity with a worldwide matrix of meditators on the northside steps in the heart of Los Angeles, Camp City Hall. Meanwhile, around the world and across occupation sites, peace demonstrators began to follow the words:

Think with your heart, love with your mind.

"Jay Baba," a disciple of Himalayan master Yogiraj Siddhanath, lead a moonlight sit the night before on the southside steps following general assembly. The technique we employed to hold the peace involved becoming the Moon, facing the Earth, and flooding our planet and everyone on it with love.

After all, this is not an anti-Wall Street protest. It is a pro-99% movement. Give fairness a chance, Corporate demagogues. Give generosity a try. Since there is not enough for even one bank's greed -- which becomes too big to bail -- there might just be enough for everyone's need. Thriving never has to mean depriving others. Win-win is our goal, with institutions, with each others, with the world.
