Occupy camps an eye-sore? Let’s compare photos…
There are many comments from several “concerned” officials – and citizens – that the Occupy camps are “eyesores” and express concerns over sanitary issues. Many city officials are using these excuses to shut down and remove camps set up within various cities around the world.
Let us take a look and compare these “eyesores” and “unsanitary” camps to other areas around the world which draw in, or have drawn in, grotesque amounts of profit…

I could go on and on, but this is not rocket science. Just because the true eyesores and unsanitary conditions are not right outside your door, or viewable during your days commute to work, does not mean they do not exist. And do not think for a second that your local politicians have the best interest in mind for their cities… they simply do not want to bite the hand that feeds them…
Occupy movements all over the world are out to stop the horror you see in the comparison pictures above – this is why many are wanting the movement to fail.
In fact, here is one way many Occupiers are being more creative in the use of Green Energy…
