Eugene Delacroix painting, Liberty Leading the People, (July 28, 1830).

The painting above commemorates the Paris uprising of July 27, 28, and 29, 1830, known as the Trois Glorieuses ("Three Glorious Days"), initiated by the liberal republicans for violation of the Constitution by the Second Restoration government.

The Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Everywhere protests against the banksters of Wall Street and corporate corruption are beginning to make the plutocrats nervous. Do the plutocrats fear a populist uprising against the corporatocracy?

UPDATE: The idiot son of presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul, Rand Paul, said on Friday "I see it as inflaming this Paris mob that I hope doesn't result in a lawlessness where they say, 'Well, gosh, those nice iPads through the window should be mine and why don't I throw a brick through the window to get them because rich people don't deserve to have them when I can't have them,'" Paul said. Rand Paul blames Obama for 'inflaming' Occupy Wall Street protests, worries of 'lawlessness' – The Hill's Blog.

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said the Occupy Wall Street protesters are un-American and against capitalism. Cain rails against Wall Street protesters.

Republican presidential candidate Willard "Mittens" Romney said of the Occupy Wall Street protest, "I think it's dangerous, this is class warfare." Romney describes anti-Wall Street protests as "class warfare".

Multi-billionaire Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg slammed the Occupy Wall Street protesters on Friday, saying their attacks on banks could harm one of the city’s major employers.

I do believe hizzonor is confused. It was the banksters of Wall Street and their casino capitalism that destroyed the jobs of working people, while greatly enriching themselves with their gambling winnings and exorbitant bonuses, even after the American people were asked to foot the bill to bail out the banks for their reckless excess and mortgage-backed securitities fraud. And let's not forget that hizzonner's Wall Street businesses are what made him a multi-billionaire — not exactly the point man you want speaking out on this issue.

Also on Friday, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor took to the stage at the conservative 2011 Voter Values Summit in Washington to do a little fear-mongering about the growing Occupy Wall Street protests. Eric Cantor: 'Increasingly Concerned' About Occupy Wall Street 'Mobs' | TPMDC:

"If you read the newspapers today, I for one am increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street and the other cities across the country," he said.

"Believe it or not, some in this town have actually condoned the pitting of Americans against Americans," Cantor said.

It was multi-billionaire Warren Buffett in 2006 who accurately observed “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” In Class Warfare, Guess Which Class Is Winning – New York Times.

The American middle-class has been getting kicked in the teeth since the early 1970s. The American middle-class has been systematically destroyed by the faith based supply-side "trickle down" GOP economic policies of the past 30 years that have redistributed the wealth of the American middle-class upwards to the fabulously wealthy plutocrats. The American middle-class wants back what has been stolen from them by The Predator Class.

A simple act of defiance can become the symbolic act that ignites a revolution. Just look to Mohamed Bouazizi, a market trader in Tunisia who set himself on fire after a dispute with a government official over where he could sell his fruit and vegetables. Bouazizi's suicide at the age of 26 was seen by many as an act borne of his intense frustration with authoritarian rule. It became the domino that fell and triggered a chain of revolutions across the Arab world, leading to the Arab Spring. The slap that sparked a revolution | The Observer.

Maybe Occupy Wall Street is our American Autumn. "Finally the tables are starting to turn, I'm talking about a revolution."
