A Bat Signal for the 99%

A Bat Signal for the 99%
Thu, 4/5/2012

Filmed by the indefatigable OccupyTVNY team, this video shows how occupiers pulled off one of the most triumphant actions of the Occupy Movement when, on November 17, 2011, they strategically positioned a projector to shine messages of encouragement on the monolithic slab of windowless concrete known as the Verizon Building in Lower Manhattan while their fellow activists marched across the Brooklyn Bridge.

“As we made plans for the November 17 day of action, we wanted to make the end of that day a celebration, a galvanizing moment,” one of the filmmakers said. “We knew that thousands would be marching across the Brooklyn Bridge, and we knew we wanted to do video projections. An activist named Hero Vincent came up with the idea of the ‘bat signal.’ Mark Read came up with the text and coordinated the team that pulled off this spectacular stunt. The eviction of the encampment at Zuccotti Park two days earlier lent even greater power and poignancy to this moment."

That spectacle propelled the project forward: now the team behind the bat signal has a bat mobile. The Illuminator has already made an appearance at a Chase bank action this month. Look for it on May 1.

What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.

Based on details that have emerged about Trump’s presidential agenda, the far-right Heritage Foundation plans for the next GOP president to have all the tools necessary to demolish multicultural democracy and establish a white, Christian ethnostate that imposes a gender apartheid not unlike the Taliban’s Afghanistan.

Donald Trump, Hitler

Like Hitler, Trump has a unique command of propaganda, a captivating public presence, and he knows how to drive home narratives beneficial to him and harmful to his enemies.

Trump’s brand of hyper-nationalism combined with the intense consolidation of executive power follows the same playbook as fascistic leaders in other countries like India,Russia, Hungary, Turkey, Egypt, Italy and Argentina, among others.

The Florida governor’s humiliating loss has a dark undertone: Most Republicans, and many independents, apparently have a craving for the unchecked lawless vengeance that Trump has promised if he wins a second term.
