Occupy Wall Street's Survival In Question As Donations Dry Up


June 7 (Reuters) - More than eight months after Occupy Wall Street burst onto the global stage, decrying income inequality and coining the phrase "We are the 99 percent," the movement's survival and continued relevance is far from assured.

Donations to the flagship New York chapter have slowed to a trickle. Polls show that public support is rapidly waning. Media attention has dropped precipitously.

Bursts of violence, threats of municipal chaos and two alleged domestic terror plots have put Occupy on a recurring collision course with law enforcement.

Even its social media popularity, a key indicator of the strength of a youthful movement, has fizzled since its zenith last fall.

Old Pudfark sez: " I do believe....somebody ( ;) ) predicted this, last fall. "

Darn the luck.
I was really looking forward to a "Human Etch-a-Sketch" analogy.
