Ima Charu (Bangladesh ) – Who are this 1% according to u?
Dan Getz (Dance4One/Occupy Dallas) – I would say again that this 1% consists of the Big Banks, Corporations and Government who continue to influence law with this money and power and basically run this country with no regard for the PEOPLE'S Voice...This is a Democratic Republic which means that we, the PEOPLE elect a man or woman who is SUPPOSED to "mirror" or "reflect" OUR VOICE...that is not what is happening now...
Dan Getz (Dance4One/Occupy Dallas) – I nor the Occupiers I know really like the word "demands"...that sounds like (at least to me) like someone holding another person or entity hostage and demanding a ransom...so with that being said, I would use maybe the word, "plea" or "request" or "defense opening statement or argument" like in a court of law...we are simply reminding ALL Americans of our rights...already "awarded" in the U.S. Constitution...like Freedom of Speech...the right to assemble...the right to Lfe, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness...it is hard for the 99% to experience these FREEDOMS when simple things like excluding a sub-section of the public (the Occupy Dallas members in this instance) from using the PUBLIC restrooms...do you know about this?
Ima Charu (Bangladesh ) – no I don't ,tell me about it
Dan Getz (Dance4One/Occupy Dallas) – well there were actually two demands...and yes these were DEMANDS made by the City of Dallas...1) that Occupiers could not use the PUBLIC RESTROOMS (bathrooms) in the Dallas City Hall...all other tax paying citizens could use the PUBLIC restrooms, but if you were in anyway involved in the Occupy movement, we were NOT allowed to use the PUBLIC RESTROOMS...and the other DEMAND made by the city was that we were not allowed to keep or possess ANY "semi-permanent signage"...but they could not even define what "semi-permanent" meant...i mean an American Flag on a pole is "semi-permanent" right? These were the two primary reasons the city stated we were in violation of the LEGAL CONTACT or PERMIT we had with the City...we were LEGALLY permitted to stay encamped until December 9th I believe...and the City broke this agreement...they violated this LEGAL contract...
Ima Charu (Bangladesh ) – is there any significant approach of u (protesters) to uphold ur rights??
Dan Getz (Dance4One/OccupyDallas ) – Yes. I think the simplest way to say this is to use a term I was not familiar with until recently...SOLIDARITY...keep the message of protest simple...something that EVERYONE can understand...yes we all have different views and "complaints", but the primary message, from what I have been able to formulate is what I stated earlier...the Restoration (that means we already have been given the LEGAL RIGHTS we are "demanding" and we simply want them RESTORED or brought back into practice) of JUSTICE and EQUALITY...
Ima Charu (Bangladesh ) – do u blv this movement is the start of new USA ?
R u still there?
Dan Getz (Dance4One/OccupyDallas ) – not in the way we have talked about in terms of what we have discussed about the split of East and West Pakistan (which became Bangladesh and Pakistan), Yemen, Afghanistan, etc. that we have discussed in the past...but there have been numerous unjust arrests...people being sent to jail...bulldozing down the encampment and given 10 minutes to get their stuff...an estimated $250,000 of personal property (including MINE) that was destroyed by the City Sanitation Department...United States of America FLAGS being laid down on the muddy ground and trampled upon by the City of Dallas Sanitation Department and many other unspeakable abuses of OUR FREEDOMS...so yes...in this sense we are being "tortured" for simply trying to uphold the LAW...
I have about 5 minutes before I have to go...is there any last question or two you would like to ask me?
Ima Charu (Bangladesh ) – what do u think GOVERNMENT should do in order to support 99%?
Dan Getz (Dance4One/OccupyDallas ) – Very good question, Ima and the answer is more simple than most people think...HOLD the 1% accountable for their actions...
Ima Charu (Bangladesh ) – u mean punish them????
Dan Getz (Dance4One/Occupy Dallas) – Accountability in Government is also the basic "message" of Sarah Palin...it is my opinion that she should reconsider running for the 2012 presidency...but not as either a Republican or Democrat, but as an Independent...and position herself as intent on becoming our "FIRST WOMAN president...we have given the FIRST Black man to be a president a shot, and he has not fulfilled his promises and does very little to protect the 99%...it is time for CHANGE...I believe, that just as Esther in the bible was "born for such a time as this..." Sarah too was born for this hour...she personally holds strong beliefs regarding Destiny and Purpose...u just have to listen to the Audio Tape CD Series "The Beliefs and Values of Sarah Palin" to figure this out...I encourage ALL PEOPLE to seek out the TRUTH...it is only through TRUTH that ANY nation can stand UNITED.
Dan Getz (Dance4One/Occupy Dallas) – when I say hold accountable, i do mean that if a person does something that is against the law, they should be punished...when an executive a company willingly runs a company into the ground and he is given a huge severance package when the people...the 99
% are left without a job, that executive should PAY for his mistakes...same with banks...and goverment... I now want to answer the question about Sarah Palin...
Ima Charu (Bangladesh ) – I wanna know...
Dan Getz (Dance4One/Occupy Dallas) – I told her yesterday via a YouTube ut message that she...and I are World leaders...neither of us have a lot to show for it...yet...but that is who we ARE...it is directly related to our Destiny and Purpose...she is a stable and very capable Woman of Integrity and Courage and Inner Faith in SOMEONE much bigger than her...and this SOMEONE is where her Confidence and aBility come from...With Man...or Woman this is impossible, but with God ALL things are possible...
Ima Charu (Bangladesh ) – actually i wanna know a lot..but for today it could be enough
Dan Getz (Dance4One/Occupy Dallas) – Thank you Ima Charu for taking the time to seek out the TRUTH and interview me...kind of a man or entity with "two hats"...as a reporter/blogger for Dance4One (www.Dance4One.blogspot.com, www.Dance4One.com and YouTube Channel 12131966) and as a recent and active member of Occupy Dallas (www.OccupyDallas.org)...I will of course answer all of your questions and do another interview or two if you like...thank you again and blessings to you in your endeavors as a 19 year old old student pursuing a College Degree at a very renowned university in Bangladesh...
Ima Charu (Bangladesh ) – Dan will u like to explain the reaom behimd OCCUPY DALLAS movement?
Dan Getz (Dance4One/Occupy Dallas) – As you you know Ima I, as Dance4One have only been aware of and been actively involved with Occupy Dallas since October 9th, 18 days ago. I was vaguely aware of Occupy Wallstreet, but had no knowledge of Occupy Dallas until the aforementioned 18 days ago (you can ask me more questions about how r paths crossed if you want)...Anyway, this is my understanding based on my limited time of being connected to Occupy Dallas...It is about the restoration of Injustice and Equality based on the US Constitution and the FREEDOMS guaranteed in this LEGAL DOCUMENT...we are not asking for anything we have not already been GUARANTEED within the LAW of the Land...In conjuction with this, we would also say that we are sick and tired of BIG corporations and BIG BANKS "buying" our politicians and legislatures...sending millions of dollars to these entities in order to influence and create LAWS that protect and benefit the executives of these entities, but fail to protect and actually injure US...the 99%...it is about Restoring Justice and Equality to the 99% and bringing Accountability to and for the 1% (the big banks and companies that are basically bribing our politicians and legislatures along with GOVERNMENT that supports the 1% and refuses and fails to protect the 99%)...

Ima Charu (Bangladesh ) – Do u (protesters ) hv any specific demands?
Dan Getz (Dance4One/Occupy Dallas) – I nor the Occupiers I know really like the word "demands"...that sounds like (at least to me) like someone holding another person or entity hostage and demanding a ransom...so with that being said, I would use maybe the word, "plea" or "request" or "defense opening statement or argument" like in a court of law...we are simply reminding ALL Americans of our rights...already "awarded" in the U.S. Constitution...like Freedom of Speech...the right to assemble...the right to Lfe, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness...it is hard for the 99% to experience these FREEDOMS when simple things like excluding a sub-section of the public (the Occupy Dallas members in this instance) from using the PUBLIC restrooms...do you know about this?

Ima Charu (
Dan Getz (Dance4One/Occupy
I want to make one other statement if I could...
Ima Charu (
Dan Getz (Dance4One/Occupy Dallas ) – No. it is not a start or a new...but the re-start or RESTORATION of an OLD USA ... The statement i wanted to make earlier is this...I am an international blogger now read in 60+ nations (www.Dance4One.blogspot.com and YouTube Channel 12131966dan)...I am the Public...i am Occupy Dallas...and when a Government...in this case the Dallas City Police and City of Dallas start "slicing and dicing" the "public" and excluding this sub-section from using a PUBLIC RESTROOM, what is next? Saying brown, black or yellow people cannot use a PUBLIC RESTROOM? Maybe people with turbins or funny looking beards cannot use the PUBLIC restroom? My point is that these are BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS...and if we cannot even agree on this as a NATION, then we truly are in more trouble than what we think...
R u still there?
Ima Charu (Bangladesh ) – yeah..u r being tortured???
