I had the pleasure of attending Michael Moore when he addressed Occupy Oakland. It was a pivotal speech to the people of Occupy. As you can see from the link of the speech posted. His address offered a struggle for hope, nonetheless, successfully achieved with endurance.
A lot of people do not see the Occupy Movement as a topic of industry entertainment. However, I beg to differ. The Occupy Movement has captured the focus of people from around globe, each are tuning in. Countries have gathered in protest, with hopes to obtain a better world and system of value. Whether people are occupying are not, the majority knows of the movement.
Michael Moore said, “The majority of Americans are Liberals. The majority believe in the freedom of speech, womens rights, and wealth for all.” However, most people remain silent because they are comfortably stagnant in, “What is VS. What is to come.” People become use to certain lifestyles to where it’s hard for them to give them up whether satisfied or unsatisfied with the situation. Yet movers and shakers like the people of Occupy, beg to let the 1 % whom lavish in their perfect life, trample over the 99 % whom have become stagnant. Which brings me to industry factors, the Occupy Movement has Occupied the world of entertainment and will continue to do so. The world is tuning in to why the people of Occupy refuse to be silence.
Occupy is a display of why the majority should not be dominated over by the minority. Which to Occupy are the 1% of people who control the 99% money. I was interested in hearing Moore speak, because he is not only speaking from the intellect of a well versed researcher but because he can convey his analytics in a way that everyone can understand. Moore said, “We are all Scott Olsen.” Scott Olsen is the Marine who did two tours in Iraq and was critically injured in an Oakland Police Raid of the Occupy Movement.
Moore stated, “We are all Scott Olsen and we will not let our brothers get treated like that from the Bankers.” When he said this, I realized that no matter who or where we come from, we are all the same. Each of us are in search of something better than we know. Some of us are afraid to go out and obtain the unachieveable. However, if we understand that we are all the same, we realize that we are no longer alone. When the feeling of loneliness disappear, the fear of speech is exchanged for each person’s right to FREEDOM of SPEECH.
The industry becomes unified and everyone is able to voice an opinion. Moore said of the Occupy Movement, “This movement has killed apathy.” People have come from watching the dramas of television. They are tuned in to themselves and what is going on around. The Revolution may not be televise
d but Occupy will be seen live.
