The Occupy Movement as with the Tea Party began as a grassroots effort of likeminded individuals who cried out in mass:
“I am mad as hell, and I am not going to take this anymore”
And like the Tea Party, corrupt organizations see with covertness the masses of Americans mobilized by a common purpose as a vehicle to further their own corrupt agendas.
The Republican Party along with their minions in the MSM.
KILLED the Tea Party movement,
It is true that this same strategy is being attempted today with the Occupy Movement as well.
The Tea party movement died after the last election, because those who were elected that had aligned themselves with the Tea party went to Washington DC and just became part of the same ole corruption.
Again, No Change We Can Believe In.
We must not allow ourselves to be distracted because the MSM is slandering the Occupy movement.
The MSM has been working overtime on trying to kill the Occupy movement using the same playbook they did with the Tea Party. It is just the same lies wrapped up in new packaging.
First the MSM just refused to report that the Occupy movement was even occurring, this did not work.
Then the MSM started the slander that the Occupy Movement were just of bunch of dirty hippies fornicating in public with a bong in their lips. They even went further with their slander with, don’t wear your good shoes around a Occupy protest ( you know what I am referring to ).
This didn't play either.
So, Now the slander has become the Occupy movement is just a bunch of Communist funded by George Soros and organized by Acorn.
This lie won’t work either.
We the People recognize that the 99% are us too.
We KNOW that the system is corrupt and favors the scumbag.
We can say for certain that Wall Street and our Government are in bed together. That our Congress is bought and paid for by the scumbag bankers.
And,
We the People are as mad as hell, and we won’t take it anymore.

That's exactly what someone wanting this to fail or go away would say.
That's exactly what someone too paranoid to ever want to make a difference in this world would believe.
That's exactly what will be the final nail in all our coffins.
Will some people try to co-op this? Criticize without really understanding? Sure. But the reality is they can't.

None of this will bring about any change and most people know it. This is a combined effort of many like minded people with the same goal. You know it's the truth as soon as you read it .. right?

Hook, line sinker.... Damn.
How to destroy a grassroots movement 101:
1) Ignore them, don't give them any coverage, they are not big enough to make a difference.
2) Oh boy, they have grown too big to ignore, smear campaign STAT! Find the fringe elements, keep them in the spotlight! Find some fringe organizations that contributed, and say they funded the whole thing! This will garner opposition from the peons themself, and also attract more fringe to the movement.
3) Take it over. Send some "spokesman" there to keep the illusion going, that this was not a grassroots thing, but an evil plan from the getgo.
4) Grassroots has no credibility with the general sheeps no more, hence movement squashed.
Sound familiar? Obviously simplified a bit, but it sounds pretty similar to me.

Rational beings change at times. Taking a "fixed" stance means you are no longer rational. I sometimes think most today are so indoctrinated or so uneducated they are incapable of independent and critical thought.
You seek to laugh at others, but my concern is for you.

No big secret how I feel about OWS movement.
It is bought and paid for by Van Jones, Trumpka, adbusters, Tide Foundation, Soros.
(they) want to have (socialism)
A one world government, one world currency and the end to capitalism and the free market system.
Street vending is illegal in Tunisia, and city authorities regularly confiscated Mohamed’s small wheelbarrow of fruit. But Mohamed had no other option to try to make a living, and he bought his merchandise by getting into debt. It was a vicious circle. That Friday morning, he had contracted roughly $200 in debt for his goods. Police spotted him, confiscated his cart and reportedly slapped him in the face in the process. Mohamed was desperate and angry. So he went to regional government headquarters to try to plead his case with the governor. Nobody would listen to him and he was thrown out. Mohamed, enraged, bought two bottles of paint thinner and set himself alight in front of the building. He was rushed to hospital, but died Jan. 4.
