Occupy Wall Street

I see the media interviewing/videoing the fringe at the direction of their globalist media owners. I would not doubt for a moment that some of the coverage is "staged". The media is out to paint the entire movement as loonies. At some point, (like Waco) when the authorities have had enough, shots will be heard, police will fire on the crowd, and propagandized Americans will say "the crowd deserved it".

I think the vast majority of OWS are honorable Americans fed up with Wall Street breaking America AND the world. Personally I wish Wall Street would disappear and take their super computers and the SEC with them.

then you continue to believe that.
Question, since nearly all of the MSM coverage has been postive about OWS why would the old media, mainstream media what ever you call the networks, cnn and the papers, why would traditional media seek out the loonies when they support this OWS?

What kind of jobs in this shaky job market do you think these people can have that allows them to protest for weeks?
 
David Duke is just one man who does not currently hold any position of authority in the KKK.

The entire national organizations for the National Socialists (Nazis), Socialists and Communists have endorsed and aligned themselves with the OWS protests.

That is a big difference.
 
There was a guy with an arab headdress the other day. Will one of their demands later on be for Israel to allow for right of return?

Wall Street to Dems: you can't have it both ways

"During his 2008 presidential bid, the finance sector donated more than $42 million to Obama's campaign, and Wall Street interests alone contributed more than $15 million."


so for the dems this is more of a reelection campaign for BHO. they are trying to pin the R's as being pro Wall St., but this will backfire on them. Independents know better. Again, BHO can't run on his failed record.
 
rivet has absolutely no idea the direct impact that financial institutions play in our economy. Hopefully he will look up the financial sector in the US to see its direct impact on the GDP. This is irrespective of the secondary effects that Brotha mentioned and ones that he didn't. Basically, our entire economy is reliant on Wall Street as is the US' position as a superpower.

I could be wrong but I think the movement, as it applies to the rest of the globe, is more directed at government promises that are currently not being fulfilled. Each country or region is having protests based on sustenance. We're the only country with a population spoiled enough to whine about stuff like having to pay back a student loan.
 
Classic argument that if it's not their No. 1 stated goal, that means it's not among their goals.

Look at your list of achievements there: 4 percent specifically state radical redistribution of wealth (as if that's what people would call the idea of making rich people pay their "fair share".) Out of those answers, 60 percent come from hard-left ideology or are geared toward Democratic party goals. Then you have 9 percent that say "promote a national conversation" - what a typical mush-head answer, completely meaningless and IMO dishonest. No one engages in a prolonged protest like this just to "have a conversation" - I haven't heard a single protester talk about "having a conversation". You protest to affect change.

11 percent want to break the two-party duopoly, but I could easily have grouped that in the 60 percent - anyone believe there are any conservatives or moderates out there in those protesters looking for a middle party?

Then you've got 8 percent that "aren't sure", so we'll take them at their word and throw them out. So you have 12 percent that want a direct democracy or a flat tax. And that's just their primary stated goal.

I guarantee you that the 80 percent would have no problem with agreeing with at least "moderate" distribution of wealth, and likely most would call for "radical" as well. They just didn't put it as their top goal.
