Mic check!
Mr. Friedman’s company Stratfor
is a private security firm
that government agencies pay
to gather “intelligence”
(and I use that term loosely)
on private citizens
exercising their rights
to free speech and assembly.
We are pleased that wikileaks
recently returned the favor
by releasing numerous leaked emails
about Stratfor’s activities
According to the leaked emails
-along with many other questionable activities-
Stratfor gathered information
from at least one Texas DPS officer
who was operating undercover
within the Occupy Austin movement.
We object to being spied on
by agencies who are paid
to serve and protect us.
We object even more
to private security firms
making money
by interfering with our rights
to assemble
and petition our government
for a redress of grievances.
Free speech and free assembly
are rights guaranteed
in our constitution
we object to attempts
to deter anyone
from exercising them.
Mr. Friedman
our freedom
is not your profit margin.
Our rights
are not for sale.
Mic Check!
We are the 99%
we will not be silent
about your crimes
against the populace
Occupy Austin!
Occupy SXSW!
Occupy Everywhere!
