Cities' Occupy Encampment Evictions A 'Set-Up'?

by Ritt Goldstein



It's reported that the Occupy evictions were 'coordinated' through conference calls by city mayors, questions of who organized these calls remaining. What's also known is that 'the troubled' were encouraged by authorities to join Occupy, with many seizing upon the outcome of this as the 'manufactured pretext' for the recent nationwide sweeps.

With the 'homeless and troubled' having come to Occupy, bringing the kinds of issues they sadly too often mean, an 'excuse' for police action to evict Occupy developed, one that's been readily pounced upon. Of course, reports that 'the troubled' were sent to Occupy by police and other authorities have appeared, raising questions if Occupy was 'set-up' for both the ongoing evictions and the derailing of their original objective - the Banks and Wall Street.



As news reports of the moment widely tell of broad efforts by many cities to eliminate Occupy's encampments, some things are vital to recall, especially those suggesting that these eviction actions are being pursued under a 'manufactured pretext'.



Underpinning many of the cities' efforts are alleged public safety concerns about those within Occupy's camps, but the media has also reported upon how 'troubled' individuals have been urged by police to join Occupy. As a matter of fact, I wrote of this myself, " Occupy Facing 'Cloaked' Counterattacks ", and see such urgings of 'the troubled' by authorities as a mechanism to attempt to smear, disrupt and discredit Occupy, as well as provide the pretext for the kinds of eviction actions we're seeing.
