Around 7:00 AM I noticed a few posts regarding NYPD escalating action. Then a Occupy twitter silence. I expected a flood to come and streams of the threatening sleepers being arrested before business. I have a feed to catch all tweets with both OWS and OCCUPY, which typically is continuous. The feed to left is for SYRIA, which is the same. However, from 7-8:45 I was in contact with one occupier showing Twitter overload screen. I noticed a pattern of duplicates in successful posts (as many as 7 identical and from bots in Syria feed.) I have been up all night, sorry for the lofi and weakened voice. Visit @davidkozin for screen shots of this period.

Occupying Newsrooms and Bribing Bloggers
It's the Best Media Writing of the Week
By: Matthew Creamer Published: October 28, 2011
For all the griping that journalism is becoming less about gathering facts and more about spewing opinions, we seem to be getting fewer powerful, persuasive broadsides than we used to. Sure, the who/what/why/where/when model is the trade's equivalent of a pair of dentures resting bedside in a glass: still useful but nothing anyone wants to talk about. But nobody's showing any fangs much either.

How to win a protest? a message to share from Tunisia and Egypt
Things to do during the protest:
1- Put a wet tissue dumped with vinaigrette on your face + a plastic mask
2- Breath onion during the protest so your nose will not get the gas inside
3- Water and tear gas will never put the fear on the protesters
4- Better to drink milk , pepsi or coca cola
5- To prevent the shock of the teaser , throw water plastic bag in the hand of the policeman so he will get the shock before you.
6- Use black spray in the front glass of their cars
7- Use plastic bags or oil to collect directly the tear gas – take care its hot
8- Demonstrations should be carried out at night for various reasons
- Diminishing chances of being arrested or identified.
- Avoiding being photographed.
- Exhausting the riot police since you demonstrate at night and sleep during the day while they are on extreme status of emergency. Your riot at night will make them unable to sleep and cause them to become weak.
- Avoiding kidnapping operations, and dawn visitors.
9- Never carry out suicidal missions for if you’re destined to die, then be it by your enemy bullet.
10- Take advantage of the media for outside pressure is very important.
11- Important: Please circulate this message from neighboring Tunis to all Egyptian brethren.
12- To avoid electric shocks, wear plastic bags on your lower extremities supported by tapes as it is has been proved that it protects against electric shocks.
13- Tunisian demonstrators have noticed that washing the face with CocaCola, Pepsi cause immediate relief of the effect of the tear-gas grenades. This has been tested in Tunisia and Egypt and proved that their grenades had no effect.
14- In order to disable the armored and security vehicles, insert a soaked-in-water piece of cloth in the vehicle exhaust to disable it. It is recommended that you wrap the cloth around a piece of wood before insertion. A sleeve of a shirt will do the trick. The vehicle will stop running for up to 7 seconds and consequently the water hose will cease to work and the vehicle will become like a piece of junk. Notice if you pull out the plug from the vehicle exhaust, the vehicle will function again.
15- use flags and Whistle for talks and sending messages
16- take pictures for the policemen and the tear gas item and keep the archive
17- solidarity from #Tunisia and #tahrir #egypt square #socialMEDIApower @protestWatch #protest
18- issue press releases and do media interviews,
Things to do if wounded by a tear gas:
Don’t panic, it’s just some gas and it’s a temporary effect, don’t swallow the smoke or spit it , go back to an open clean area with oxygen and change places with your friends, breath slowly and deep, take your time to recover, Wash your eyes with cold water and your face with cocacola or pepsicola
For the eyes: Use cold water only and not hot water - Wash with oil soap the infected area -
ask your friend to take out your contact lenses not with your fingers. - Change your clothes and stay in an open area and put your old clothes in a plastic bag
For the rescue team: Don’t force to open the eyes just pour cold water in the beginning

Rupert Murdoch's US speech is disrupted by hecklers
Rupert Murdoch's US speech is disrupted by hecklers
Protesters from the ''Occupy Wall Street'' movement heckled News Corporation
boss Rupert Murdoch during a speech at an education forum on Friday in San
Francisco, California. They accused the media mogul of trying to profit from public education, as he
outlined how technology could help transform the nation's education system."It's OK, a little controversy makes everything more interesting," he said,
as a woman shouting "equality in education, not privatisation'', was ejected
from the room.
