OP it's a real stretch to make the claim that Adbusters "owns" OWS, or any of the protests that have been inspired by it. They made a blog post suggesting it, and others have taken it up as a rallying cry.
It has already been shown that the Adbusters campaign was a PR campaign to promote the occupations, not a means of starting them. The infrastructure was already in place before Adbusters "inspired" it, as if out of the blue...
Let's contemplate that series of events for just a moment, shall we?
Who do you suppose "inspired" Adbusters at just the right time?

Take it easy friends.. nothing wrong with a little due diligence.
To get back on track.. I think the real potential for concern isn't who started ths movement but who might try to influence it or take it over. Already we have Tea Partiers and Dennis Kucinich offering advice.. no doubt CIA/FBI will infiltrate and either try to destroy it though violence or discrediting the movement.. or worse, you have the potential for a leader to rise up from the midst and start steering it in dubious directions.

As I said before, these are nothing but naive college students being fired up by the usual bunch of Marxist agitators. Their left wing professors probably promised extra points on their next test, or a higher letter grade at the end of the semester if they protested. Next up they will try and get the labor unions to get involved, like what the Soviets did with the factory workers militias in Russia in 1917.
If your a Marxist then fine, but if you want change then try and bring it about via the ballot box - that's the American way. We don't rile up angry mobs and destroy buildings to get our way. We vote at the ballot box.edit on 4-10-2011 by ChrisF231 because: (no reason given)

I'm still shocked that just because Beck is a loudmouth people seem to think he also knows what he is talking about. ::sigh::

The registrant listed as a domain owner on a whois lookup, isn't necessarily the owner of the website.
Sure, they may be a friend, or a colleague related to the actual owner in some way. But simply having a name registered under a domain linked to an activity or movement doesn't mean they are part of it.
Besides, many people have the same name, where is your source for the background info on these people? If it obtained form a google search, then they could easily be the wrong person.

On Beck.
You have 2 choices on his notice about this crap going on.
1. He is "in" the entire system and knew about it from the highest levels prior to execution
(including the chaos in the mideast).
2. He researched/has a "deep throat" that has given key information.
Beck has been pretty much spot on as far as situations and locations for these socialist "love ins".
Look hard enough and I"ll guarantee that Bill Ayers is somewhere in this crap. Francis Piven has already shown her wrinkled head.
