1/I've also been teaching the computer to extract and visualize text features from articles that might not be so easy to see, but for a deep read. Here's a wordcloud made from two articles (linked below) about the red-brown alliance within the #Occupy movement.

2/This is an important network to study because it's many of the same people responsible for January 6th, as well as the network we see turning up at the recent "Rage Against the War Machine" rally. It's essentially the same network, griping about the same things.

3/Here are the two articles summarized in the wordcloud above, both by Spencer Sunshine.

4/Both pieces give an essential overview of events that have been broadly misunderstood by the media and the public.

5/And here is a longer and broader overview I wrote last year, if you haven't seen it already.

6/While there were many earnest left-leaning participants in Occupy, it is an error to view it only through that lens. Many of the networks and people involved are now going full bore on 'third position' attacks within the US and Europe, in alliance with Putin. Pay attention.

7/And this recent piece covers the "Rage Against the War" LaRouche - Libertarian - Occupy axis.
