In the response to hurricane Sandy, Occupy Wall Street supporters have shown that voluntary, decentralized mutual aid is far more effective than government programs and agencies like FEMA.

At one point, pictures were taken of occupy sandy volunteers feeding FEMA workers who couldn’t even find supplies for themselves.

Now, super villain and globalist Mayor Bloomberg in New York is thanking them for their service to the community by ordering a raid and eviction on a shelter that they have helped set up and have been using as a base of operations.

For some background information on this case, this message was posted to the occupy wall street website just a few days before:

“This Friday morning Staten Island police representing the mayor’s office have threatened eviction action against the crucial Staten Island hub at 489 Midland Avenue, in the heavily hit Midland Beach area.

Aiman Youssef, a 42-year-old Syrian-American Staten Islander whose house was destroyed in the hurricane, has been running a 24/7 community pop up hub outside his property at 489 Midland Avenue since the day after the storm.

He and a coalition of neighbors, friends and community members are serving hot food and offering cleaning supplies, non-perishables, medical supplies, and clothing to the thousands of residents who are still without heat, power, or safe housing.

This popular hub is well-run, well-staffed, and has a constant hum of discussion, support, and advice as well as donations and pick ups and volunteer dispatch through another pop-up group, volunteers who call themselves “The Yellow Team.”

This approach that Occupy Wall Street has been taking, of competing with inefficient government monopolies, is a strategy called agorism.

Recently i wrote an article about how Occupy Wall Street has been adopting this approach in a lot of their recent projects.

This strategy is so effective and makes the government look so incompetent and obsolete that it is no surprise that they are showing this kind of force to preserve the false legitimacy of their monopolies.

Occupy Wall Street outshining FEMA in the wake of a natural disaster is reminiscent of actions taken by an agorist in early American history, Lysander Spooner.

Lysander Spooner was an outspoken philosopher, abolitionist, and voluntaryist during the 19th century who was not only a brilliant author and speaker, but he also started a letter delivering service to compete with the government post office, which out-shined the state monopoly until it was forced out of business.

    I am so sick of these Zionist criminals. Bloomberg is a fascist pig amongst many fascist pigs in office. May they all rot in hell.

    Has the American Constitution been abolished?
    If not Mayor Bloomberg is acting in contempt of the Law.
    Unless Occupy have harmed or injured someone, caused loss or damage to their property, acted dishonestly, or in mischief, or created a breach of the peace – they have committed no crime.
    Any interference with them going about their lawful business is a Common Law assault.
    Hence my question: has the American Constitution been abolished – or not?

    Correction. Occupy Sandy Volunteers did NOT feed FEMA workers. It was a group of volunteers running a mobile kitchen that fed the FEMA workers. Why do Occupy folks have to politicize disaster relief?

    Oh, and I can verify this because I was there on the ground working in the kitchen that supplied the mobile crew.

    Good for Mayor Bloomberg! This is exactly the way it should be, with every citizen totally dependent on an inept government agency for assistance.

    If you need any help, it’s easy to find our office. It’s the one with the sign up saying “Closed due to weather.” We’ll be out back stuffing ourselves on the volunteers’ grub, because we kinda forgot to bring our own supplies…much less anything to help the victims of the disaster.

    (For those of you who irony-challenged, this is sarcasm.)
