What is Occupy Wallstreet?

[kandrathe]

In europe we are still pretty shocked if we hear that in the US you have presidential candidates who say hurricanes are a punishment from god, but that doesn't make us far left wing?!

Ridiculous!

We all know that two watery tumultuous beings, one male and one female, Apsu (sweet water) and Tiamat (salt water) had wild sex and from their union there come forth a variety of sea monsters and gods. In the ensuing chaos Tiamat, the female creator, tries to take control. Her descendants unite against her, choosing one of their number - Marduk, the god of Babylon - to lead them. So, then armed with a hurricane and riding a tempest drawn by four fiery steeds, Marduk meets Tiamat and her evil accomplice Kingu in battle. He kills them both.

Then splitting the monstrous corpse of Tiamat into two parts, he creates the heaven from the top half, from the other half the earth. In heaven he constructs a dwelling place for his colleagues, the gods. Realizing that they will need a race of servants, he uses the blood of Kingu to create the first man. This is followed by other necessary tasks, such as the creation of rivers, plants and animals.

The hurricane is just one of the weapons of Marduk!
