The Occupy Movement Revisited - by Moses

  In 2010/11 (July '10 - Dec 31 '11) the Occupy Movement started in many places around the World.  Canada, Portugal, Greece, Egypt, and Palestinian Leaders all bought in to make it happen.  This was the new Kibbutz Movement I stood to reason.  I spoke in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada on many occasions to discuss the importance of having a Kibbutz Movement, and a new beginning towards a new Kibbutz Movement in Nations outside Canada.

  We preach to our young to have strong ideals.  To be brave to work.  To be honorable among our friends and family.  We all have our ideas of a Utopian society, where everything performs at optimum.  Is the Occupy Movement a relating analogy towards a Utopian society?  Perhaps just a simpler existence.

  It is now May of 2018 and we have seen a brainwashing occur in the last 7 years.  The Occupy Movement has magically disappeared from five Nations based on the infinite wisdom of the U.S Government.  The U.S.A were the first Nation to shut down their Occupy Camps.  In fact, the Mainstream Media of the U.S.A dares not to even make an analogy of what could have been (Couldn't that have been closer to a Utopian society for having existed?).

  As we stand today we see a game of ping pong being played around the World.  Strike/counter-strike mentality.  When will the mentality of indifference be accepted and incorporated towards the young that would like to live their lives according to those ways (as opposed to living in F.E.M.A camps across their Nations).  Growing up in Canada I always prided myself as being lucky to be living where I was living.  That I could have fun at Camp and enjoy the summer.  The children's freedoms and rights were defended at almost all Canadian summer camps.  The problem with camps in 1983 in Canada are different than today; back then there weren't many 'Black' or 'Asian' kids in Canadian Camps.  There was some segregation in our Country back then.  THAT was the problem back then.  In today's' age we've employed multiculturalism across Canada breeding multiculturalism in our summer camps.  The problem in today's age is that we're seeing Freedoms and Rights being sacrificed (by-laws being one example) in how people live their lives.  This is a growing epidemic in mega-cities and affects our youth.  A child then goes to a multicultural summer camp with deficiencies from that environment.  The multicultural aspect of the camp is definitely a good thing but why are there deficiencies for the children's home environment being perpetuated from their home base.  Maybe we need alternatives to the issues of a 21 year old shooting, a 17 year old on crack, a 25 year old on an a.p.b, or a 19 year old - whose homeless, falling.  Wouldn't a 15 year old be better served to see the option of a society that's a little less superficial than the one we see today (before he/she acts out on him/herself)?
