I don't expect you to believe me. I want you to read this, take it with a grain of salt, and do the research yourself. You may not believe me, but I want your movement to succeed. From a former tea partier to you, young new rebels, there's some advice to prevent what happened to our now broken movement from happening to you. I don't agree with everything your movement does, but I sympathize with your cause and agree on our common enemy. You guys are very intelligent and I trust that you will take this in the spirit it is intended. I wish I could believe this Occupy Wall Street was still about (r)Evolution, but so far, all I am seeing is a painful rehash of how the corporate-funded government turned the pre-Presidential election tea party movement into the joke it is now. We were anarchists and ultra-libertarians, but above all we were peaceful. So, the media tried painting us as racists. But when that didn't work they tried to goad us into violence. When that failed, they killed our movement with money and false kindness from the theocratic arm of the Republican party. That killed our popular support. I am sharing these observations, so you guys know what's going on and can prevent the media from succeeding in painting you as violent slacker hippies rebelling without a cause, or from having the movement be hijacked by a bunch of corporatists seeking to twist the movement's original intentions. If you think this can't happen, it happened to the Independence Party and the tea party movement. Don't let it happen to your movement as well.

How could they be funded
If all they income they have is from donations? Lol, they're pretty good at being transparent with that stuff as well. There is no other funding. And i dont think this movement will be taken over, there are too many people there that know MONEY IS SCREWING US, so they will not take money to shut up.

OWS will not ever sell out to Corporate America the same way the Tea groups did. The Tea Group sold their souls to the banks and TPTB and the Tea group ain't never staged a multi week sit in/occupation!
OWS represents America while the Tea'rs is a shill for and owned by the banks and put into power to do the bidding of the banks!

With funding coming from George Soros and assistance and warm bodies coming from Big Labor (which spends more money politically than all major groups combined). I have to say that this movement has already been astroturfed. They have been organized by paid professionals and anonymous account holders on twitter.
