Since Occupy is heavily surveilled and infiltrated, it is likely that the DHS and police informers are aware, before Occupy itself is, what its emerging agenda is going to look like...what happened this week is the first battle in a civil war; a civil war in which, for now, only one side is choosing violence.

A government that crushes unarmed protesters to protect private power and property is approaching political and moral, not simply economic, bankruptcy.
