Occupy the Bookshelf: A Handbook to Defeat the 1%

Occupy the Bookshelf: A Handbook to Defeat the 1%
Mon, 2/11/2013 - by Occupy.com

"Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? — A Handbook On How to Defeat the 1%" is a compilation of articles written by Gabriel of Urantia, a self-described spiritual activist, that addresses the deeper issues involved within the Occupy movement. Urantia poses step-by-step strategies and solutions for the 99% to create real and lasting change, including the need to discover true leadership and how that can be accomplished.

Throughout "Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?" Gabriel explores at deeper levels the power struggle between the 99% and the 1%, examining ideas implemented by effective tactical leaders throughout history, including George Washington and Colonists who won the American Revolution. He addresses how these methods can be successfully implemented around the globe today, while also addressing in detail the needs of people to establish communities and find things in common amid the loneliness and stress of modern urban life, with an emphasis on returning to nature.

Urantia, who is the co-founder, along with Niánn Emerson Chase, of one of the largest EcoVillages in the world in Arizona, also founded Global Change Multi-Media, and he leads the Spiritualution—Justice to the People! movement focused on protecting the human rights of all people, with emphasis on the responsibility of the baby boomer and X-generations as well as indigenous communities to step up and lead.

In particular, Urantia's Spiritualution—Justice to the People! concept advocates a willingness and commitment by individuals to quit their wrong jobs and go on strike as part of a spiritual re-connection with one another as citizens, and with the Earth. Urantia, who enthusiastically supported the Occupy movement, has long spoken about the need for people to take social, civil and environmental injustices into their own hands, through civil disobedience that challenges corporate elites like the media, banking system, oil companies, pharmaceutical companies and those in government.

"Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" includes a color photo gallery that was taken from various Occupy actions around the country, starting in the fall of 2011 with Occupy Wall Street at Zuccotti Park and moving to Los Angeles, Anaheim, Chicago, Phoenix, Tucson, Washington D.C., Philadelphia and elsewhere. Articles in the handbook accompany other information for activists like The Be Aware Proclamation & Answers, and Unoccupy Your Couch--10 Points to Become Proactive.
