It wont be just OWS to get violent, it will be everyone.
Everyone should be mad.
Everyone has every right to be mad.
And really? Tantrum? you might not give a #, but lots of other people do. Such as myself. OWS will probably not go violent unless it has to, same with the rest of people. When there is no food to be had. When your savings is gone and your life is gone and your house is gone. And you'll watch the elites laughing right to the bank.
I don't even want to get into it here, The bottom line is. Every single person has a right to be mad right now. Its -if- you see it or not that is the problem. Something will snap one day. And its going to be a #show. And i bet most of you will be on the streets with everyone else. Taking back our planet.

Violence solves nothing without an end-game strategy and good leadership. If OWS overthrew the government they’d still be partying three weeks later. Then you’d all look at eachother and ask, “Now what?”

50% of America receives some form of government aid. What will those people do when the government is gone?

It doesn’t have to be that way but….if it happens I will be protecting my family like everyone else.
I thought this was dead by now.
Most poverty on this planet is due to the corporate elite, the banking elite. The IMF, The World Bank, the Federal Reserve. And those that own and control those. People have a crap standard of living not by their own means. The unofficial unemployment is climbing ever higher while the government lies about progress. People have no work. We've been made to rely on a welfare system because it keeps those who are hungry in a somewhat comfortable state. Not even, but you know what i mean.
"Oh the government sent me a cheque for 300 bucks, they're taking care of me! PROPS!"
Really? 300 bucks to shutup the theft of trillions of dollars?
Tonight's stunning financial piece de resistance comes from Wyatt Emerich of The Cleveland Current. In what is sure to inspire some serious ire among all those who once believed Ronald Reagan that it was the USSR that was the "Evil Empire", Emmerich analyzes disposable income and economic benefits among several key income classes and comes to the stunning (and verifiable) conclusion that "a one-parent family of three making $14,500 a year (minimum wage) has more disposable income than a family making $60,000 a year." And that excludes benefits from Supplemental Security Income disability checks. America is now a country which punishes those middle-class people who not only try to work hard, but avoid scamming the system.

I agree. Why then is OWS allowing one of the 1% to control and fund them? Why would you take money from the very people who protest?

Who said it $300?? A new stat came out today that a family of 3 receiving social benefits making $14,500 per year has more disposable income than a family earning $60,000.

Right so lets just toss away thousands of dollars more so we can allow a bunch of over privileged college kids and the riff raff of society to construct shanty towns that contribute nothing.

By attacking it piece by piece by piece. Instead we have some kid in his designer abercrombie clothes and 200 dollar head phones crying about how unfair it is his degree in haiku hasn't given him in a job . So down with the bankers and usher in communism!!!
Your title of the thread said "They're back." Are they coming or going...or do you even know?
First off, this is a WND article...which is well known for being less than trustworthy in realm of facts. They are the "National Enquirer" of political commentary.
Second, their source John Arlidge wrote his article pertaining to the comments by Soros about class warfare and economic instability America is facing.
Occupy was just a footnote.....a small mention in the article. The WND headline is "Occupy to turn violent" The source article is titled "George Soros on the Coming of the US Class War."
Conveniently, WND has taken this information and bastardized it to make the entire premise based around Occupy and violence. But that is to be expected from WND.
Here is a link to the original source from which the WND article is derived. I invite you to read that version and put everything into proper context. Or is this thread supposed to be an Occupy trolling thread?

Originally posted by AzureSkyAnd thousands of dollars? Who cares about thousands of dollars. How much has occupy cost in "taxpayer money", 1 million? 2 million? 10 million?
Why are the ones on welfare being paid to be unemployed?
Don't think of it like "they are needy and need it to survive" because they do, but think of it like this..
"How to pay off the lowest class so they dont revolt". And that money makes it way back to the "1%" anyways. Its used to purchase products by them, i bet all the people on welfare shop at walmart, because its cheaper! thus continuing the cycle of theft. You get a cheap chinese product that costs 3/4 as much to make as you paid for it, and it breaks. And you buy a new one.
What if welfare stopped? just all of a sudden completely gone?
First off, you can’t dismiss the OP by saying WND is illegitimate. Sorry!
The quotes where taken from a Newsmax article. The questions and comments don’t need context….it is what is.
Then you threw in the “troll” word to finish off your attempt?
Your discrediting skills are weak, sir! Nice try though!
Sure I can. It's like trying to pass off an OP with Sorcha Fal as the source. WND is known for being shady and have been shown many times on this website to take information completely out of context for the purpose of perpetuating their own political agenda?
And that statement in no way addresses the fact I brought up. How can WND take an article titled "George Soros on the Coming of the US Class War" and then turn around and write an article called "Occupy to turn Violent"?
So it is not what it is. WND has taken small snippets of the original work and twisted it around.
Questions and comments don't need context?
Say what?
Considering the reputation of WND and some of your past threads/statements.....that's a valid question.
His crap is completely fabricated BS.
Uhm….the only part about Soros was that he said OWS will turn violent!
Occupy Wall Street “is an inchoate, leaderless manifestation of protest,” but it will grow. It has “put on the agenda issues that the institutional left has failed to put on the agenda for a quarter of a century.” He reaches for analysis, produced by the political blog ThinkProgress.org, that shows how the Occupy movement has pushed issues of unemployment up the agenda of major news organizations, including MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News. It reveals that in one week in July of last year the word “debt” was mentioned more than 7,000 times on major U.S. TV news networks. By October, mentions of the word “debt” had dropped to 398 over the course of a week, while “occupy” was mentioned 1,278 times, “Wall Street” 2,378 times, and “jobs” 2,738 times. You can’t keep a financier away from his metrics.
As anger rises, riots on the streets of American cities are inevitable. “Yes, yes, yes,” he says, almost gleefully. The response to the unrest could be more damaging than the violence itself. “It will be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”
because we are polar opposite my threads are now crap?
Why won't you admit Soros involvement in OWS? You have to know he's plying OWS as pawns at this point!
So the context is that this is much deeper than violence just within Occupy. It's about America, not just Occupy.
You're right. I have every right to question the integrity of WND, but I do not have to make it personal. Even if I am correct, my statement was below the belt. I apologize.
I have yet to see this being proven. Why is it that George Soros is supposedly pumping all this money onto OWS, but many occupations are falling apart? I broke apart from the Occupy movement because of the direction it was moving, but I have never seen any money flow into the movement from any source other than local or participants.
The so-called leaderless Occupy movement has just been caught red-handed operating what appears to be a nerve center staffed by professional agitators deeply tied to groups funded by billionaire activist George Soros.
