OCCUPY WALL STREET, the leaderless political movement that is calling for a social and a political change in America is now in its 4th week and it has now spread to more than 250 major cities of the United States, with the backing and support from hundreds of trade unions, students' organizations and political groups. This political revolution resembles the civil rights movement in the 1960s that changed America forever in the area of racial justice and equality and the Tea Party movement in 2010 that changed the United States Congress and the traditional Republican Party of America.
This people-powered movement has continued to receive attacks and negative coverage from the right-wing media organizations led by Fox News and from the leadership of the Republican Party. They have been called names such as "mobs", "anti-capitalism", "anti-free market economy", "angry Americans", "traitors" "anti-American" and many other derogatory terms. But the truth of the whole matter is simple :who is primarily threatened by this grass root political movement, corporatocracy or the GOP?
No matter what happens at the end of the day, this movement has come to stay America and is unstoppable and will change the growing corporate greed in America as well as shape the political landscape of this nation forever, especially the Republican Party that its leaders' primary goal in politics and in Washington is to protect corporate America and the top 1% of the richest America instead of fairness and the middle-class Americans. We wait and see the political outcomes of this revolution. Time will surely tell.
