    Because this movement is Progressive astro-turfing using that message as cover. They aren't going after Obama.

    The protesters are. They've opted to go after the results of horrendously unethical, unaccountable, unconstitutional federal government....

    instead of horrendously unethical, unaccoutable, unconstitutional federal government.

    Why do you think that is?

    False.

    Why is it that you can't wrap your mind about the fact that millions upon millions of Americans have enormous problems -- their frustration only grows since they see a system created by the Republicans and the Democrats that favours the rich.

    These people are going nowhere -- which of course frustates you and your little click of Neo-Fascists because they force you to face reality: the absolute impoverisment of your country and the average citizenry, which of course is painted of as nothing more than an "ilussion" in right-wing-lala-land.

    In the old days a guy could go to one of these protests and get lucky a few times but from the looks of these ugly chicks and their attitude I don't think it's a good idea to walk by these people on the side walk.

    These people remind me of my kids when they were small who thought that money came from the bank. If you say you don't have the money for something all you needed to do was go to the bank and get more money.

    I often wonder who these people will call when they realize that they have blown the economy up and there is no food in their mother's pantry anymore. Soros is feeding them now but when he has no more use from them they will be left to starve.

    LOL!

    The central banking system was established by, and operates within laws enacted and enforced (or not enforced) by corrupt, unethical government apparatchiks...

    who are more concerned with servicing personal, special interests and party power to advance agenda, than protecting the individual and private property rights of the great unwashed.

    I am not blaming "everything" on Obama. Only what he is responsible for. Only an abject apologist for corruption and incompetency would try to defend that.

    No.

    This is where your spin starts to get out of control. This is pure speculation and disinformation on your part.

    No, Obama took the wheel of a car that was careening down a narrow mountain road and promptly put the pedal to the mat and let go of the steering wheel. A fiscally responsible president would have done virtually everything different than The Lightworker.

    And the proof of Obama's fiscal insanity is that Obama is still asking congress for billions to remake mistakes that institute ideologically defective policy he already has pulled before.


    Ironic you would claim this. You are obviously in no position to judge others.

    Then tell us....what IS this about? I have seen no cohesive message...other than "screw the successful rich; where's mine?"

    What a bunch of tools. They've been tricked by the elite into believing that capitalism is the cause of our problems, and this anti-American mindset will surely lead to the total erosion of our sovereignty

    You really don't know much about the banking system and how it is meddled with by the government.

    That's an idea that appeals to more and more people since Obama became president.

    They want government to take care of them and they want the rich to pay for it.

    That's a simple message the even these OWS Neo-Coms can understand.

    Nah, don't worry. This is a fringe that rears its ugly head every once in a while....but fortunately is only a small minority. These are mostly Socialists, some Communists, anarchists, and general losers who think someone else owes them something. Oh, and there's some college students who don't know what they are yet....but who are in there who are crying, "Oh poor me, boo-hoo, I'm going to college, but oh poor me." All the while, they know full-well they will be interviewing and aspiring to be employed by one of those "evil" corporations they are out there demonizing today.

    Well, if that's what they want they should consider moving to Communist China or North Korea. I really wished they would.....then report back here in about 18 months to let us know how it's going for them and how they are liking that form of gov't.

    I think we can assume that they don't want to go to North Korea and starve.

    Nor would any of them believe they should have to leave the country.

    What they want is a Soviet Socialist Republic right here in America.

    That's why I call the OWS hippies Neo-Coms.

    The Federal Reserve System was created in 1913.

    Almost 100 years later, this creation is the root to the problem in this country. True, congress is supposed to control the fed. But if you ever listen to the hearing on capital hill, when they are grilling Ben Bernanke, the congress people asking questions do not have a clue to what is going on.

    This isn’t a corrupt, unethical government, this is an ignorant government that doesn’t know what is going on.

    We have a movement going on in this country whether you like it or not. True here are parts of the movement that have no flipping idea of what is going on. I don’t want the Hippies, KKK, Nazis., Commie, etc in this movement. But what I do want, is to get people to realize how the Ponzi Scheme the Fed has created and how its going to collapse if we do not do something about it.

    Here in OC, we have the Occupy movement going and one of the protesters has it right:

    The housing crisis is what caused the current ongoing crisis inthis country. I do not see anyone from either party attemting to fix or even address this problem.


    No spin, Jsut what I see coming out of DC.

    And just would ahve McCain done that would be different? Put is in a depression (which is still coming and if we are lucky that is all that will happen)?

    Also, if the Reps had anything decent to run in 08, O-Bum-ba wouldnt be in office. I am no support of O-Bum-ba, but the republicans didnt put up anything worthy either.

    This is what the organizers are saying:

    From Tahrir Square to Times Square: Protests Erupt in Over 1,500 Cities Worldwide

    Part of this agree with, parts I don't. Wall Street is just s symptom of the banking problem. Attacking wall Street is ludicrous. The protesters should be protesting at each headquarter of the 12 fed districts an at the headquarters of the top 20 banks in America.

    Heres the problem:

    The Fed Creates 10 billion dollars (out of thin air) and loans that to a Bank.

    Now the bank can create loans of this money made from nothing. So I can now get a 300K loan. So the bank creates this 300K I need for this home, out of thin air. What is worse thou, is my load now becomes an asset to the bank, so the bank can now loan money out on my loan!

    This is the Ponzi Schem that is about to collapse.

    As for a solution, Im not smart enough to figure out a solution by myself, just as I am not smart enough to figure out a way to fly to the moon.
