Regarding OWS and the 1%
I was doing some math and have a question. OWS claims to represent the 99% against the 1% Yet they themselves number at or around 1% [Thats being generous IMO] leaving 98% which is further divided with roughly 48% to each political party but not all 310,000,000 Million Americans vote. Of which roughly only 33% registered voters actually vote but of those who have voted 97% along party lines.
Now, How long would it take the train to reach the other side?

I'd like to know, if Soros is funneling cash to these groups and all the (insert people you don't like here) are all jumping on the bandwagon to get their money, why has it been a colossal failure, nothing has been accomplished other than some education.
So, i must ask, how exactly is funding YOU? Who exactly is handing you the talking points you love to reiterate here constantly? Is it Obama? Is Obama secretly funding groups of people like you?
See, kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth when someone assumes you are being paid to hold the opinions you do, because they don't agree with you. At least it does for me.
Better yet, why haven't you started a group to make sure YOUR voice is heard, instead of spending your time trying to silence others. That, my friend, is American.And don't dare tell me you already did and it's the tea party, because going by your methods, the tea party is nothing but a bunch of redneck hill billies drinking moonshine and polishing their shotguns while looking for a black man to lynch.
Of course, that's just a pathetic tiny minority of the tea party, but according to you, the tiny idiot minority IS the entire movement. Check mate.
I am suspicious of the statement "Occupy to turn violent". I am just wondering if Occupy does turn violent...that may happen... because TPTB have planted people within Occupy to start violence and then keep it going.
Apart from Occupy....I think there is going to be a lot of (civil unrest) happening in society next summer and fall. A lot of people are jobless, losing their homes, having to live rough (many for the first time in their lives)...people not being satisfied with the election for President...many, many people upset because they see that TPTB want us to enter another war...etc. There are going to be riots, violent acts and some destruction.
Really....practically anyone...can see all this coming. It is just a matter of time.
I think people need to stock up on extra food and water etc...because I think there is going to be a time period this year..that it will not be safe to leave our homes.

In tactics similar to ones used by a former ACORN group in New York City during the Occupy Wall Street movement, a Chicago-based not-for-profit paid people to attend protests that backed the closing of public schools. Two of the “rent-a-protestors” reportedly blew the whistle on the Hope Organization, claiming that they were offered money to attend the rallies back on Jan. 6 and that they were provided with pre-made signs and prepared scripts.
Both men told the Chicago Sun-Times that they didn’t realize the intent of the rally, supporting the closure of certain schools, until the last minute. Thaddeus Scott, 35, says he was promised $50 dollars to speak at the rally, which he was told was “for schools.” He says he was stiffed $25 after the head of the Hope organization, the Rev. Roosevelt Watkins III, complained that Scott had publicly revealed that he was compensated for speaking at the hearing. “I don’t want the $25 he [Watkins] owes me. He can keep his dirty money,” Scott told the Sun-Times. “They thought for a few dollars they could get us to say whatever they want. ... We were preyed upon.”
