Do people think it's a coordinating homeland security attack?

Yes.
People saw their terrorism monitoring units show up in labeled vans when the camp-outs first started.

When they cracked in any city, all the protests reacted. That means that if they are going to take action, coordination among the cities makes good sense.
As for the crackdown...let's face it, The Empire Strikes Back was always the best one.

The parks here were emptied two days ago. Most of it went surprisingly peacefully, only one significant case of police brutality (one too many), but that's saying something for our police force, who has a bad reputation for shooting first and asking questions later. I think they really are trying to work on that though, but with them its like two steps forward and one step back. Still overall it went way better than it could have here.

Of COURSE they're coordinating, we expected no less. Yeah, Riona, they emptied Oakland, Berserkeley and OWS itself--and the people came back in bigger numbers than ever! Every time they crack down, our numbers grow, it's fantastic. You guys aren't hearing the half of it; if I had time, I'd post about it. Maybe when I get some time, I will.
I was surprised and tickled at that judge issuing the injunction to let OWS stay, tho' we knew the city would find a way around it. That's okay, they can't stop us now, we're growing exponentially all over the country.
San Francisco has been quiet all this time, notice. They got kicked out of Justin Hermann Plaza, but they rebuilt across from the Ferry Building, and the police have let them stay. Jim sees them every day on his way to the ferry. All quiet on the "Western Front". Good old S.F. Hopefully the cops there realize that cracking down has no effect, people just get more tents and move back in, in greater numbers every time!
Gotta go, just popped into this one out of curiosity.

The order has come from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave to the city mayors " shut it down". There is no wide spread appeal for the Occutards as there is for the TEA party. Crime, trash, disease...and a muddled message has doomed this stunt to the point that even the Dems now want it to go away.
And it shall.

I actually think the crack down could be a blessing for the movement - forces them to confront the next level after public protest.

Hello Mr. Raptor,
Do you have a copy of the order? It would help the movement to have that on hand.
