A few things i do not agree with.
First i believe that OWS is a legitimate protest movement.. how would crippling the central banking system be in favour of the elite?
And secondly OWS is being used by the government as an excuse to possibly get towards martial law.
I do not believe that the whole protest from day 1 and the original brainstormers behind the occupy ideas were created by the government... that one i think is a little over the top.
But the rest i completely agree.
Not trying to pick a fight or anything, but you do realize that your second statement kind of contradicts your first.
The goal is kind of one on the same. Collapse the current system to institute their own.
"Their" being OWS and the current Govt.

On that occasion, I'd have to say it's reverse psychology.
Especially seeing as who the owner of FB is now...

It is a theory that is entirely plausible, but it is not reason enough to get off the streets. The rich CEO's and the people who want WWIII are one in the same - better to raise awareness of the issue and cause Americans to start waking up, which OWS is doing - at least from my view, many of my Facebook friends are getting really into it, people who I didn't think cared about politics, which is great.
"They", if they are going to impose martial law, will find a way to do it no matter what we do. We might as well go down kicking and screaming and give them a run for their money (literally!) Force them to work to install martial law rather than give it straight to them by docilely walking off the streets!

FB is a dream come true to TPTB. That's why GS bought it.
They're fear mongering that it will be closed down which makes its users support it more, as though it's their right to 'freedom of speech'.
This is just child's play control tactics.
Shame that the sheeple buy whatever they're sold.
After all, how many times has FB announced more and more intrusive and highly questionable privacy violations yet no one leaves.
What most ATS users don't get is that the vast majority of people don't think like them. They don't even want to think like them. They want a nice, easy life with material goods and if that means a little more police presence and governmental intrusion then they'll just have to put up with it. That IS what the majority think.
Just ask them. They don't want a revolution. Anyone with kids would have extreme doubts about a group of college kids and unemployed starting a revolution in their best interests.
It's sad but true that the sheeple want X Factor and a new, shiny car and whatever else crap they've been told is cool.
We're not called conspiracy theorists for nothing.
In fact, just look at how many people on here dribble on about how super one politician is or another. That's the biggest joke.
