Retired Episcopal Bishop George Packard was the first one over the fence into Duarte Square. Video of the OWS breaching of the wall around the park, owned by Trinity Church. I interview two clergymen, Father Paul Mayer and Rev. Max Surjadinata. Views of the march and of a meditating hunger striker.

OWS Hunger Strike – Duarte Sq.
Sunday, December 4th, 2011Update: they were arrested again. The excuse for the arrest this morning was that they were blocking the sidewalk. What tonight’s excuse is, I don’t know.
Three of the strikers were arrested this morning. They are back tonight joined by others.
Meditating underneath the statue of Juan Pablo Duarte.
OWS Labor Rights March Dec.1, 2011
Friday, December 2nd, 2011I caught up with the Labor rights march that started out in Herald Square when they reached Washington Square Park on there way to Liberty Plaza the original home of Occupy Wall Street. Liberty Plaza or Zuccotti Park, since OWS was evicted, has been turned into an unpleasant “free-speech” kettling zone. There is more actual free speech outside the perimeters.
How is this still legal?

Every once in a while I’ll look up and see a huge black plume of smoke coming from a building. It usually doesn’t last long, just a great belch of evil soot and then it stops, often too quickly for me to get a shot while it is still black. Some buildings still have incinerators. What makes them so special?
OWS – Sunday, 11/27/2011
Sunday, November 27th, 2011
A fenced off and sanitized Liberty Plaza decorated for Christmas, and Environmental Justice Day in Washington Square Park with Greg Palast.
The authorities have succeeded in sanitizing Liberty Plaza by turning it into a giant free speech kettling zone. Making it unpleasant for humans. The entire plaza is surrounded by barricades zip tied together, ready made for easy round ups.
There are only two entrances to the park now, and both are manned by at least 4 private guards. Benches along the walls are forbidden for sitting.
It is all lit up and decorated for Christmas and embarrassingly void of joy and humanity. When I was there this past Sunday, there were a few folks with signs and one group of about 50 having a quiet discussion. Some of the occupier are now sleeping in churches, and other organization is going on in schools and other indoor spots. Stay tuned, these brave clever kids aren’t done yet.
