Can yall tell me, what is Occupy Phoenixville really occupping??? Where are located at? Must not be downtown.I dont see any tents or , i dont see anything??? So where are they? Like?? DOWN BY THE RIVER??? And how long were you at one spot?? I think you can only stay in one place for like a week , maybe. Where ,oh where are you occupping?? Oh where Oh where have yall been?

They all live in a van... DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!

Could be they "OCCUPY JOBS"!! Give it up, this, so called, movement is going nowhere!!

No one is protesting about the clothes they wear made by corporations; nor will they protest about the electricity or gas they consume in their cars or homes also produced by corporations; nor do they turn off their TVs showing news or entertainment also produced by corporations; nor will they protest the mortgage fraud perpetrated by organized corporate entities like ACORN and facilitated by government-backed corporations supported primarily by but not exclusively by liberal senators and congressmen who created corruptible systems to benefit the corporations owned by their donors and friends; nor are they protesting against Solyndra, a corporation that took millions in public money through fraud and deceit as favors to Obama donors from the previous election. So what exactly, or perhaps who exactly will they protest against? For every conspiracy there is fiction and fact, also a magazine, book or movie, regardless of what side of an issue or political perspective you have. The only impact the so-called occupiers have had is on the municipal budgets of the cities or towns where they pitched their tents and trash, depleting already stretched city budgets requiring millions in overtime for police, sanitation and judicial activity. They are tools of capitalists oligarchs like George Soros. His corporations are funneling millions into these grass-roots collections of easily influenced minions to the detriment of our culture and constitution.

Film screening is ON for tonight at 6 pm. Be careful out there in this weather and we look forward to welcoming everyone and anyone who is interested in this topic.

Occupy Phoenixville, like Occupy Wall Street and other Occcupy groups, is attempting to Occupy Democracy, which includes becoming more informed, understanding the issues, and making our voices heard. Encampments aren't the point. You might want to google "occupy Democracy . org " and watch the short video that gives a great explanation.

To all the Occupyers out there.... please please,please occupy the public sector, teachers and legislature pension plans out there and re-distribute some of my tax money funding this atrocity back to my pocket. Why don't we ever hear of you guys going after this instead of corporations.

This movement or whatever it was supposed to be, died quite a few weeks ago. Let it go already and do something constructive with your time and energy. It's legacy is and will always be a joke.

It's hilarious to me that people are so negative about a non-partisan movement that is attempting to make changes in things that affect your daily lives. Sorry, but it's a fact that Wall Street royally screwed us over. It's a shame to see so many good, hard working Americans being fed and believing the corporate kool-aid, and never once questioning that maybe all this supposed 'negative press' the occupy movement gets, is generated by the very same organizations that are having the truth shown about them. It's sad.

I'm glad you find vandalism, assaults and trespassing all hilarious. It must have been real funny to see the occupiers burning and looting in Oakland. Their fetid messes in Philly and NYC made everyone laugh. The taxpayer's paying all the overtime for sanitation, health workers and police gave us all a real chuckle. The anarchists preaching demolition of capitalism was the high point of comedy...well, actually those folks really were funny to watch...they are so out of touch with reality. Whose kool-aid would you have been drinking? While our Dear Leader praises the rabble-rousers, he takes huge sums of money from the same bankers and brokers who get blamed for causing everyone's problems. All the while, more taxpayer dollars get dolled out to 'son-of-ACORN' organizations who continue to promote voter fraud and entitlements. Wall Street didn't screw you. They exploited the laws made by corrupt, crooked legislators in DC and state houses everywhere. If they broke some many laws, don't you think the Department of Justice would be charging them with crimes? Were they ethical or moral? Maybe not, but if they aren't criminal, then the occupiers should be venting their anger in the right direction...at Congress and Dear Leader, all of whom have and do support the financial status quo...at all of our expense.

In fact, the Occupy encampments have been some of the most peaceful and orderly extended large group protests in history. And the movement isn't preaching demolition of capitalism, it's working on restoration of democracy. There are working groups all over the country looking at things like pensions, worker's rights, sustainability, banking regulation. It's all connected. If the large multi-national corporations make the rules, everyone suffers - here, and around the globe. So the first goal of Occupy is to get the corporations out of the rule-making process, and one of the first steps in that is to say corporations aren't people. But it doesn't stop there - it starts there. And yes, the Occupy movement is concerned not only about wall street, but congress, the president, the supreme court, and the way money has been allowed to undermine the rights of individual voters. Occupy encampments might be disappearing, but Occupy itself is going strong. Take some time to find out what we are saying - we are well-informed, working hard to understand a complex situation, and inviting everyone to re-engage and stop believing what the corporate media feeds us with a spoon.

And by the way - if you want to watch The Corporation online, free, it's available. it does a great job of explaining how so much that's wrong is connected to the fact that large corporations have been given (taken? stolen?) far too much control.

Carol, don't let the truth get in the way of the facts. You are right in the sense that corporate America makes the rules, but Congress, by the way of lobbyists, get it done. You are so wrong in your saying that this joke, called occupy, were peaceful & orderly, unless you call torching,looting, vandalism & defecating on police cars as the norm. What I do not get is this occupy movement is hell bent on destroying capitalism. That is what made & still makes the USA so different from the socialist governments in the rest of the world. I did notice your occupy people did have cell phones, laptops & other electronic gadgets that we capitalists also use. Your occupy is not going strong, as you have stated, it is & has been falling apart. You should take sometime to find out the facts & stop drinking the kool ade. By the way, what is your favorite flavor? Is it left wing, loon or liberalism that you drink? LOL!!

I'm always curious about where people get their information. Joe, how many Occupy encampments did you visit? How first-hand observers did you talk to? Who are you choosing to trust, and why? And what are they choosing to tell you, and why? When you talk about "facts," whose facts are you believing?

I don't have a favorite flavor - I'm a moderate independent, try to get information from as many sides as possible, and then carefully see what makes sense.

Thanks, Edvard. Yes - I do the same. I pray that we can hear each other, listen carefully for the truth, and then see what we need to change and how that might be possible.

So do I, & i said nothing about hating anyone. I do appreciate your praying for me,we all could use as many prayers as possible. My info comes from different media outlets. Why would you ask me how many encampments I visited? What difference does that make? MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC & FOX NEWS covered it. Some more than others, but I got the gist of it. I suppose what I saw was a figment of peoples imaginations or do you think the scenes were photo shopped? All you had to do was go to police reports for the cities involved in the vandalism, looting & the other misguided acts & see what went on. Why not read what I said about corporate America & the lobbyists buying them out? So you see, I get both sides of the picture do you? By the way, the great, USA, which I served honorably from 1966-1968 is always in my prayers. Again, I don't know where Ed gets hatred out of my statements. You all have a great day.

What do drug commercials have to do with looting, vandalism, defecating & arson? The news media portrays things the way they want to. My service, in Vietnam, & the lies that came out of there convinced me years ago the media was corrupt & spouted what they wanted to. So are you telling me that all the news outlets got it wrong? i don't think so. I don't need the media to shed anything, I have an open mind, but when you get all sides, you need the sense to know when smoke is being blown at you & where it goes.
