Occupy LEGO Land, A Tiny Toy Protest Inside of Occupy Wall Street
BY SCOTT BEALE ON NOVEMBER 9, 2011
One of my favorite installations at Occupy Wall Street is Occupy LEGO Land, a tiny toy protest located within the larger protest. Their motto is “We must not be Lego ‘Lands’ – We must be a Lego NATION!”

I heard that you only need 12 people to start an ‘occupation’ is that true?
i heard you only need 11.5 for a dozen. i thought to occupy was to go to war in one definition.

Maybe little gestures here and there will turn it around eventually, but they killed john smith to get tony blair elected labour leader.
Its easy for me but for those with children, its a bit much to ask them to stand to end with me.
The unions in america cut a deal and turned their backs on the G8 protesters in seattle.
David ervine, a unionist (loyalist) leader in N. Ireland, stood up to the hipocracy amongst his own, sat down for breakfast and had 4 massive heart attacks, multipul and massive strokes and brain heamerages, the polish cabinat said no to europe and were wiped out, the decent ones in southern ireland went flouting down the liffey.
So it wont be done with leaders, they’ll only kill them, it has to be individual action, and this is unlikely, but we’ll see.
Logically then, the leaders of any organisation (and Occupy does not have dictator style leaders) who wish to oppose such tactics must be able to protect themselves from such techniques, and be able to inflict disproportionate damage in the same way in order to deter attacks. That seems logical, however, the danger is that having evolved such a defensive/offensive capability, such potential leaders use them not for the greater good but for their own self-preservation only.
Wassamatter, you want to live forever as a slave? All your children as slaves? I don’t. I won’t live in fear… but why should I be held in fear? Because people who have fear my negativity taking what they have. Well, I’ll take what I need… but ONLY what I need, and if there is someone to ask, I’ll ask first. There is a huge difference between need and want. And that is something you can learn at any Occupy site, if you spend enough time there (can take seconds).
We depend on them for our well being, there is no mass awakening, we just want nicer people to depend on. Learning self reliance is like taking your first parashoot jump especially if your afraid of heights, but once you do it, it’s invigerating.
I read an article a couple of years ago, about this guy who dives off waterfalls, this particular one was 100ft high, he broke his wrist which he said was nothing, which it isnt. But the way he talked about life was really inspiring, basically an extreme version of what i’ve realized myself, life is amazing and whether there’s something there or if it’s just a fluke does’nt matter, call it what the native americans do, Great Mystery.
Only when enough of us jump out of that plane will we start to change our destiny.
