[ WP ] The Occupy movement in New York never ended , but rather growing into a violent revolution culminating in the occupation of New York . The President makes an announcement .

She had dressed for a funeral. She walked up to the podium, somber, but unshaken. 
 
 `` My fellow Americans, we are in the midst of tragedy. The internal strife our nation is struck with is not easy, but no conflict ever is. We have braved the darkest storms and the longest nights. We have been through revolution, we have been through civil war. Decades from now, historians will decide what this conflict was. Rebellion, revolution, or civil war. It is our hope that it is not the latter. 
 
 Five years ago, activists took to the streets of New York, protesting income inequality. It was a noble goal, and it began as a noble movement. However, poorly defined goals led to a lack of actions. It remained peaceful for awhile, but after a few years, leaders rose out of the impatience. Not long after, protests became riots. Goals became demands. Signs became firearms. 
 
 Now, three million men and women have taken New York City. These rebels have stolen. They have kidnapped. They have murdered. Sometimes, without discrimination. The cultural capital of the modern world is now a shell of what it once was. 
 
 As a nation, we must periodically face challenge. In 1791, a group of farmers rose up against a new tax against whiskey. Historians know not who led this uprising. Rather, they know this: it was the first event that showcased the new government's power. Every now and then, a government must showcase its power. Not only to prevent further rebellion, but also to prevent foreign threat. Some nations see weakness in internal conflict and pounce on it. We can not allow that. 
 
 It is with deep grief and anguish that I announce today that New York can not be taken back. It is too far gone. However, it is infectious. An insurgent occupation can not exist in the heart of our nation. Instead of recovery, an alternate course of action must be taken. As I speak now, our bravest men and women are preparing to rid our nation of this cancer. Our soldiers will die. That is an inevitable fact of war. However, as long as men die, liberty will never perish. Sacrifices must be made to maintain our beloved nation. Sometimes, you must amputate a limb to save the body. 
 
 Farewell, New York.''
