it also never hurts to 'RE-articulate' things after a time. 10 months ago, there was yet more to learn about how true the initial "charges" were (and, as subsequently learned: ARE)

I think I already replied to this, but I just upgraded my comments plugin , and so I'll do this again (or "finally" do it if I somehow missed this). But the message is this: The wealth inthis country is increasingly being funneled to the top 1%. The gains of the national wealth are only being realized by those 1%. The rest of us have lost the share of the gains, and that process is continuing even now, regardless of what Obama might seem to be saying. This has been happening for over 30 years now. Instead of the rest of the country GAINING along with the richest when the GDP increases, the benefits of those gains has been steadily falling. This is due to political manipulations by those with the means to spend money on political power.

It is called Occupy Wall Street because the financial sector, most represented or embodied by Wall Street and highly damaged by the reckless trading and deceptions of peddling known-bad "credit default swaps" that became widespread under Wall Street's nose, precipitated the economic crisis in which we now find ourselves.

That is the message, expressed in a variety of ways and a variety of emphases focusing on various effects of this income ineqaulity, buying of politcal power, and rampant irresponsible actions by the financial "leaders" of our country.

Not trying to hide anything, Bill. I tweet and link to this blog from Facebook, both under my name, Dale Lature. There are also email links scattered throughout my site. So it is a surprise to me that it would seem I have ever tried to hide any of this. But, for purposes of clarity, I may well add a Wordpress Page with biographical info about me, on my Home page here. So, I guess I should thank you for pointing out that it wasn't easily or imediately discoverable who I am. I should correct that.

I largely agree, but am disturbed by the trend to hide who is blogging. Who is the "I" in this post?

Actually, the best way to "hear" the message is to "listen" and "read". It's a common theme throughout this blog, and on numerous summaries posted at various Occupy meetings. Visit an encampment.

That there is a 1% holding an unprecedented amount of the entire wealth of the U.S., and that the economic players in this economy are tilted that way (and on the increase). "Banks got bailed out, we got sold out" is a common chant, which is but one of the economic "strategies" of the 1% to further siphon money from the people to the very top. Banks and Wall Street not being held to account, but actually REWARDED with bailouts is the root of the protest, but the effects are wide ranging.

That's just one way to come at the question of "what is the message"?
