FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Hundreds of protesters marched through lower Manhattan on Monday during Occupy Wall Street‘s one-year anniversary demonstrations. The assembled crowds, among other similar chants, shouted “the whole world is watching.” They weren’t kidding.
In the ruckus that’s still happening around New York City’s Wall Street, differentiating between occupiers, bloggers, film makers and citizen journalists supporting the movement is far from easy. Cellphones raised high above crowds live streamed footage to services such as CoverItLive, Livestream and for at least one occupier, uStream.
“I’ve been here since the 14th,” said a man who refereed to himself as Carlisle.
He’s live streamed the rallies and protests since they restarted over the weekend. A Sony HD camcorder fixed to the top of a monopod filmed the action, while his Samsung Galaxy S II fed streaming video to an Occupy blog.
Though there was a dedicated area for press off of Broadway, the reporting seemed to come largely from independent journalists and hashtag activists like Carlisle. Blogs and Twitter feeds updated instantly and much of the morning’s coverage came from citizen journos, though local news giants were also present.
In a telling sign of the movement’s heavy use of social media, many signs at Monday’s rally included hashtags. One of the more commonly seen signs featured a hashtag beside a greater-than sign beside a dollar sign, a nod to the movement’s focus on income inequality and similar socioeconomic issues.
The movement is planning to march on Zuccotti Park, which once served as “home” for the Occupy protestors, at 8 p.m Monday.
