The Occupy Wall Street protesters are campaigning for the Obama administration to “Pass the Buffett Rule on fair taxation, so the rich pay their fair share.” This demand is posted on their own website. The campaigners are demanding that the US Congress pass a bill backed by the Obama administration, which is comprised of Wall Street operatives and is a creature of Wall Street.


Not sure if you're linking that to back up my point or not... Like i tried to point out before, glancing at the crowds the only unanimous thing i see is hate for bankers, and no solutions at all offered except for vitriol about arresting bankers and whatnot. These groups claiming to represent the protesters could very well be cointelpro, and the way the subject of contention is moving away from the bankers and towards this tax thing makes me believe it is.

Instead of everyone knowing these protests are against the international bankers, they've now turned it into the same tired debate about taxing the rich, which has been popular media fare for many months now. Everyone will just continue chasing their tails over that like they already have, and forget all about the international bankers, which are the federal reserve btw. The fed is not a division of the federal government, it's privately owned by international 'financiers' making it completely independent, and it owes no allegiance to any country. These same international bankers are also neck deep in military related corporations, which leads to my next series of points.

The reason Obama's time in office is so similar to Bush's is because the president is no longer running the country, corporations and bankers are. Obama probably believed, just like many US citizens do, that he could pull the US out of Iraq if he became president, and that's why he made that promise. But when he became president he discovered quickly that's not his decision to make. There's a lot of money to be funneled into military related corporations through that war, and they aren't going to let something like democracy get in the way. Hell, all that debt with China which US taxpayers are stuck with went directly into the military industrial complex, and they don't have to pay a damned thing back themselves. Citizens are stuck with the bill. Eisenhower and JFK were probably the last presidents who weren't just talking heads with no real control. It seems Eisenhower knew it would be all downhill after him judging from his farewell speech, and JFK was probably killed for fighting the takeover.

I must now stop posting because they're starting to triangulate my position... just kidding, i think. Lol But that's really all i have to say on those subjects.

The reason why the Occupy Wall Street protests are so populated by leftist radicals, Marxists, and socialists is because they've been planning it for about 8 months. There is nothing spontaneous about this 'movement' - it had been announced by its organizers long ago with the stated intend of being the left's answer to the tea party (some explicitly said so). Since that time, the strategy has changed somewhat but the goal has remained the same.

Glenn Beck brought up an interesting observation this morning about how you see some groups protesting alongside their political opposites and how there doesn't seem to be a unified message, and speculated that was now by design for the purpose of gathering as many people as possible. In other words, hide the socialist/Marxist roots of the movement as best you can (of course the actual marxists at these protests aren't gonna be smart enough to go along with that) so you don't turn off normal Americans.

Fortunately, that sort of muddy vision will ultimately undermine the organizers' objective of seeing Obama re-elected. If anything, it just adds to the national sense that society is unravelling under Obama. So in that way, I support what they are doing.

No president gets re elected with employment as low as it is, heading into a double dip recession, and with hordes of rabble rousers causing troubles in the streets. So live it up, hippies and Ron Paul supporters. The more trouble you cause, the worse it is for Jimmy Carter 2.0. Big smile


Yes, because the Tea Party protesters were so informed and unified that they didn't even understand the things they were protesting and often protested things that would have helped themselves. "KEEP YOUR GOVERNMENT HANDS OFF MY MEDICARE!!!" Lol

Sure, some of these protesters are completely full of it, just like with any rally. But to actually sit there and mention ANYTHING about a muddy vision when it's coming from someone who watches Glen Beck and supports the Tea Party is just hysterical.

Yeeeeaaaah, have fun defending your idiot ilk.

Tea Party lolz

You guys are unbelievable. These alleged hippies and entitled brats are out there standing up for something they believe in. Have you ever stood up for something you believe in your entire lives? TV shows and sports teams don't count.

Whether they're wrong or not, they're out there trying to make the world a better place for everyone, not just themselves.


I stand up for what I believe in each and everyday.

I go to work and provide a living for my family. I do not expect the government to subsidize any bad choices that I make and I don’t cause a burden on others due to poor decisions that I make. I realize that humans need to be free and that there needs to be consequences to each and every action. I realize that the government is not, nor should it be, a charity.

So yes. I stand up for what I believe in each and every day.

I'll take the few clueless tards and crazies in a Tea Party rally over the unwashed, marxist professor indoctrinated, parasitic drones of the left who seemingly can't make a living without wrapping their lips firmly around a federal government teet. At least the Tea Party knows what a trash can is and how to use it. The Occupy Wall Street bunch just eats out of them and deficates on the street
