Has anybody actually looked at the document? It's a much reported
briefing piece from DHS, that strikes me as a pretty factual assessment
of OWS. I'm actually somewhat reassured by the tone. Nothing
inflammatory, nothing that strikes me as suggesting repressive measures.
Sources cited were: Bloomberg; The Guardian; New York Post; Time; NYC
General Assembly; The Guardian -- I'm a little surprised that the New
York Times isn't cited, while reassured that Fox News wasn't either.

I was going to do that once more of the e-mails were published. I was
also going to start grepping on the names of certain activst groups
and foundations, just in case.

yes, FWIW this is also my impression.
sometimes soon will be the time to sum up what the OWS experience was
about...there was a keynote at Transmediale in Berlin about it, but
was kind of superficial :^/ well, the whole festival was willingly
dressed in over-pop superficial aesthetics...
anyway, back to the topic of "their" response, overall I think that
western societies are showing understanding to a movement which is
mostly about "telling the truth" (as in Parresia), which seems to be a
consequent tribute to the idea of cybernetics in governance.
the thing I hope about the future of this movement now is that we
don't loose time in looking for its origins, but that we keep
contributing to it as a process that flows, changes, learns and
produces.
World needs a change and that will not be a big bang. don't get me
wrong this isn't a reformist statement, rather than a sentiment
inspired by a recent reading of Ward's pragmatic approach to
anarchism.
