Summary
This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or essay included in a House Oversight investigation (Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015338). The text compares the counter-culture 'Yippie' movement of the past with the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement of 2011, discussing tactics, specific figures like Aron Kay and Michael Dare, and the evolution of protest technology from mimeographs to social media. While unrelated to Epstein on this specific page, it is likely part of a larger cache of documents produced during an oversight investigation.

The evolution of technology has changed the way protests are organized and carried out.
