t r u t h o u t | One month ago today a thousand people took over a corporate-owned park in the heart of lower Manhattan with a clear message: we're against the corporate takeover of the international economy, we're for social justice and we want to develop a different vision for the world.
*Many in the media laughed at them.* Even more news outlets simply ignored them. *But Truthout covered these new protests from the beginning, because we could actually understand their significance.*
The corporatocracy has done such a thorough job of convincing editorial boards and even reporters on the street that capitalism and its crimes are yesterday's story. That whole $16 trillion in free loans to prop up the international financial system? *Forget about it.* The complete lack of prosecutions for what was the largest fraud perpetrated by the most powerful people in history? *Ignore it.* The complete hollowing out of the US economy which led to a dangerous recession and a destruction of wealth and opportunity which is unrivaled in our lifetimes? *Bury it.*
Instead, the mainstream media focused on the economic musings of a pizza magnate who wants to tax the poor and cut taxes on the rich - and the coiffed CEO who says with a straight face that cutting regulations and taxes on businesses will spark job growth (despite the complete failure of this ideology under the Bush Jr. administration).
*But then the landscape shifted.* As the media was forced to cover an ongoing and unprecedented occupation of Wall Street, people awoke!
One month in, it's growing every second. This movement has legs.
At Truthout, we're able to see this momentum - and report on the forces that drive it - because we are beholden only to our readers, not to advertisers or shareholders. Help us continue to bring you and the world the truth of what's happening at Occupy Wall Street and the satellite protests around the globe.
