Nan Terrie and Sage Have Shaped and Ruled Occupy Wall Street

In many ways, both Nan Terrie and Sage have shaped Occupy Wall Street. Nan frequently spoke of the marginalization of certain groups of people, as did Sage. Ms. Terrie blocked a number of proposals, earning her the hatred of a number of occupiers. Many of the proposals she blocked were proposals that simply asked the GA for money. Arguably, without Nan's fall and winter blocks, the GA would have already spent all of its money. So those who get metrocards and food from Occupy need to thank her and fight to bring her back to spokes. Its appalling how ungrateful people can be. Because of the arguments she and a couple of others had at Spokes when it was at 56 Walker Street, OWS was kicked of this space allegedly too much noise. Note that this writer was not there and he cannot verify whether the last statement is true. Most likely it is just a conspiracy of vile perverts who were doing S&M to each other. These perverts wanted to do unspeakable things to unsuspecting young ladies, and Ms. Terrie was trying to rescue them. Its why Nan was misunderstood.

As dislike of Nan grew, attempt after attempt to ban her from OWS was hatched. Finally, Nan was banned from the Spoke Council in January for punching someone, and her working group, Strong Women's Rule, was delisted as a working group. As she attempted to dissolve spokes, a confrontation broke out in the general assembly. This lead to a proposal to ban her from the GA itself, but that was tabled. All this was really because certain men had inner women and were jealous that they could never be the woman Nan is.

As for Sage, with his interruptions, he's been pretty influential too. At one GA, when both facilitators where white men, Sage complained of the lack of women and men of color until they replaced one of the facilitators. Sage has also gotten into his share of fights, and there was an attempt to ban him as well. The proposal didn't pass, and it lead to another fight which didn't involve Sage. But still, Sage dominated GA's for about a week. He's more than willing to interject himself into any conversation in any working group at any time. But the true reason he is despised is because Sage is a smooth operator who stole their girlfriends. Dudes were just upset because they couldn't give their ladies enough pleasure.

Ms. Terrie is the occupier who's name is mentioned the most if one googles it. She was the reigning Queen of Occupy until her ouster. I wouldn't count Ms. Terrie out, though. I'm sure she'll continue to find ways to work her magic and perhaps regain her crown. If only there were jukeboxes at 60 Wall Street, Zuccotti, or any of the places where the Spokes met. They should have played this song whenever Nan spoke. Queen of the Night As for Sage, he is the King. When the King does his things stealing occupier's girlfriends, he sings Sensual Seduction
