5. Looking for M$M coverage of resistance

is probably not going to be very effective.

Occupy was a bourgeois group that did some awareness raising. Whether it will morph and continue to grow remains to be seen. One thing I can tell you, though, is that conditions will dictate how strong resistance becomes and what form it takes. When people have little left to lose they will be in the streets. We may not be at that point quite yet, but if the austerity continues (particularly if either party kills social security) I expect that time could come quicker than we think.
