Why does it matter- the bottomline of the tea party protests are to stop big government...Who cares who started it and when and how. None of that matters. Its the little things like that we've been so engrossed and entrapped in that we haven't been able to accomplish anything.
I don't understand for the life of me why anyone wouldn't support Americans protesting (as they rightfully are allowed to do) big government.
If you don't like it- theres a 5:40 flight to Russia via Communism Airlines.

What happened is simple, The original movement attacked the problem at the source, The Federal Reserve, and we all know the FED is a key asset of TPTB, The MSM played an important rolle early on in the republican primaries at discrediting the movement labeling its supporters as terrorists and nuttjobs and completely destroyed Ron Pauls chance at getting the public attention he deserved.
But as I said the original movement attacked the problem at the source, and the Elite contolled MSM didnt like that at all, so what did they do? They turned the movement into the same game theyve played for the last century, They turned it into a right vs left issue, and in doing so it shifts the focus off of them and onto one side or the other it didnt really matter which side it was deflected to because both sides do what they have always done, keep peoples attention away from the actual problem, in this case the its much easier to place the blame on the Democratic side but as i said it doesnt really matter which side takes the blame at any given time becqause either way the goal has been accomplished, the goal being deflecting the attention.
Traditionally, an agent provocateur (plural: agents provocateurs, French for "inciting agent(s)") is a person employed by the police or other entity to act undercover to entice or provoke another person to commit an illegal act.
More generally, the term may refer to a person or group that seeks to discredit or harm another by provoking them to commit a wrong or rash action.
Why was a new movement created that is basically identical to the previous movement with the same name?
They are hijacking a movement. In the process they need to steer it away from the very mechanisms the Elite use to control the populace.
Why has monetary policy, non-interventionist foreign policy and the federal reserve been removed from the new movement?
And again why the hell is there a new movement with the same name sponsered by right leaning interest groups?
The new movement was a necessary evil needed to try destroying the original.......... It is a careful ploy that is playing with fire.
Was this new movement made to discredit and take the lime light away from the original movement?
But who hijacked this movement? Was it the right wing? Or was it the globalists hoping to keep the masses dumbed down by not letting the monetary disaster go into mainstream consiousness?
My personal conclusion is that the movement was hijacked and attention was diverted from the policys that we should really be worried about (monetary policy), But by who? Who would want to divert our attention away from the biggest problem in our country?
It does matter who is orchestrating these movements and it does matter why because one major problem has been taken out of this movement and that's monetary policy
I'm all for protesting big government, I stated in the OP that I was apart of the original Tea Party movement and that was one of the reasons behind the protests. And you can't really protests government and not protest the federal reserve and monetary policy because they are virtually one in the same.
Ok...So your telling me that all of these people protesting about over-spending and over-taxing aren't proesting about monetary policy?
Go to a tea party and ask a protester about monetary or foreign policy, my guess is that 70% couldn't tell you about what we should do to address the monetary problem and probably didn't even know there was one in the first place.
These protests are labeled Government protests which include all government- inlcuding the federal reserve. It's not just Obama and Congress.
"What happened to the movement" when in fact its taking off and gaining steam more than ever.
Have fun with your conspiracy theory.

Maybe.
Obviously I struck a nerve about what I said, I don't see how he came to his baseless conclusions though that im against protesting big-government.
Monetary policy is contrasted with fiscal policy, which refers to government borrowing, spending and taxation.[2]
The Federal Reserve is regarded as a quasi-public banking system,[7] since it has aspects of both a government run system and private enterprise.

The original movement wasn't organised, it was a completely grassroots effort.
I can't believe this issue hasn't been brought up before.

I think the original movement really spurred critical thinking, and comprehension skills. The new one, or doppleganger/body snatcher is trying to pull that ability back, and lead the sheeple back to bed; over hashing petty issues.
The body snatching supported by the Power Elite movement is definitely playing with fire. In order to reign in the herd waking up, they need to ride out in front giving more truth to wake them up, into following their lead; which I think is shaky ground.

Its all included in these protests. You can keep trying to single out an issue and diverge it from the cause but I would expect an "original" tea-party go-er like yourself to see that its all under the same spectrum.
Correct, however, it can clearly be included in these protests regarding government power and control over money and the need for money. I seem to recall the website being federalreserve.gov not federalreserve.com- its not so far away from government as you think.
Glad to see that I'm making such a strong impression on your grand, spectacular, conspiratorial day
Additionally, some technically private organizations having some formal association with the federal government make use of gov, such as the Federal Reserve System.
