FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The occupy Oakland protesters set up their tents in Mosswood Park near downtown Oakland on Wednesday night, which remained there until midmorning Thursday when the police finally found the site despite the fact that the protesters tried to keep their location secret by not using social media to organize the occupation.
The Occupy protesters (99-percenters) said the move was a reaction to the latest arrests of dozens of the protesters in New York as well as the killing of the unarmed Florida teenager, Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old African American.
According the Occupy Wall Street website, around 30 people camped at the park during the night to show their solidarity with the movement.
Oakland police went to the site of the encampment on Thursday morning and told them they were not permitted to have tents in the park and camp there overnight. The police, however, said that no arrests were made.
The demonstrators had also tried to occupy another park in Oakland on Tuesday, but were prevented from doing so due to a persistent police presence.
“Occupy Oakland” is part of the nationwide Occupy protest movement of the ’99-percenters’ against social and economic inequality, and capitalism.
Oakland has seen several strikes, mass marches and port shutdowns over the past months, which have been confronted by police using heavy handed tactics in Oakland as well as in other parts of the US.
The ’99-percenters’ have been using the slogan, “We are the 99 percent” to distinguish themselves from the one percent of Americans who are in possession of the greatest portion of the nation’s wealth.
The Occupy movement emerged after a group of people on September 17 rallied in New York’s financial district under the motto of ‘Occupy Wall Street,’ protesting corruption, poverty as well as social inequality in the US.
