Oh my, cops beating people up. Who would have thought such a thing could happen. Why aren't they out monitoring stop signs or radar guns so they can give out tickets and raise some money. Why not lobbying for lower DUI limits so they can arrest more people and make the lawyers, courts, and MADD more money. Maybe there was a day when police were looking out for the general public but it ain't now. Give them a baton and pepper spray and you'll see a smile. Not that the "protestors" aren't looking for this type of action. Not much news coverage for "peaceful protests". It's all theatre.

You naive suckers who fall for the "civil rights" B.S. need to get some history and you need to read the list of today's OWS Marxist demands. Most of these young morons in the street are just more commie retards. Seen it all before, same as it ever was. They have no intention of restoring free markets or capitalism, despite their supposed good intentions at fighting bankster occupation. They are simply operating on their lifelong Marxist/Globocapitalist programming that they received in the government schools, on TV, and in their social events.

at least they are starting something, and what have you done?
"at least they are starting something" <-- This is what passes for acheivement and success in today's PC liberal values system. It grooms a bunch of useless brats with a sense of entitlement who end up angry and disappointed when the discover that they've been lied to their entire lives and in the real world nobody really gives a shit whether they feel good about themselves of not, or whether they think they deserve an "A" or not.
Simply "starting something" is not worth applauding. What if what they are starting is the beginning of a few weeks of civil disorder, violence, choas...or what if it leads to a revolution where the marxists take over and show us what a REAL government fuckjob is all about. No, we do not applaud adult children for just getting in the way and being loud. Go accomplish something productive, earn your place in this world.
yes that's the truth and these folks are awake. Who are the teatards and poor white trash rippoffblicans still voting for billionares and theocracy when even hippie retards know the truth? Now there's the real idiots living in denial. Enjoy nascar bitches!
You're a stellar example of your mantras of "peaceful" protesting and "celebrate diversity." Angry rants are an emblem of envy; you have my sympathies.
at least they are starting something
Yes, and now that their provocation is being met with some pushback, they don't like it.
As I've posted throughout this sideshow, this is the predictable outcome of a message-less commune.
Don´t know him, but I can tell you what I,ve done:
I am removing all my money from banksters only a little left
I cut my cable TV subscription
I,ve stopped buying printed newspapers
I,ve stopped surfing MSM webs
I sold all my stocks after QE1
I´ve reduced my car using to the minimun
I´ve started to pay in cash
I bought land in a third world country and live in
And you???
I bought a roll of Nickels.

More should do this. I have done most of it. If you watch TV (their tool for control) then you support them.
The top vid is disturbing. The cops were protecting and serving the shit out of anyone in clubbing range. Very provocative.
This whole thing could blow up with one person mean enough to carry a pocket .22 in there and pop a cop in the head. Hopefully the protests don't turn that ugly. I'm surprised the protesters haven't done anything rash with the cops egging it on.
I doubt the government is enjoying this, or sponsoring it. Looks pretty grass-roots to me.
Very "proactive" indeed. Fortunately those chumps not only have no wealth, they also don't believe in the second amendment.
I don't know about the .22, but sooner or later, someone will tire of being pummeled, and react. Alll it will take is one drop of blood to fall from an "Officer of the Law", and I think all hell will break loose. Regardless of sympathies for or against, so far, an impressive resistance on the impulse of self protection on the part of protestors.
I wonder if I could take a mugging peacably?
I agree, and that's what I was trying to say up above there. One bullet can turn this into an absolute blood bath..
I'm surprised the protesters haven't done anything rash with the cops egging it on.
Object - subject reversal, bub.
I'm surprised the cops haven't done anything rash with the protesters egging it on.
Fixed it fer ya.
Grass roots - yeah. Like ACORN was grass roots. ACORN and community oraganizers suing to force banks to give loans to anyone including illegals and people who could not document any income.
When I'm wrong I freely admit it! I just saw this story, just now..
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-obama-occupy-wall-street-2011...
Obama throwing in with the protesters.
The red arrows know...
So, it is a democrat operation. Too bad, cuz the banks need protesting.
As this unfolds, of course the DIMocrats will try to claim it. But I saw Barry's remarks on OWS live and he was noncommittal. He could not have been more neutral in the context of his need to spin it in a way that pushed its focus off himself.
He is surely all too well aware that those people would march his ass out of office in a second because he will NEVER do ANYTHING they are calling for.
It will be interesting to see how the predictable media-grab by the Dims will play out once it really kicks in, though.
Half the people on this site want to see the system crash and burn so they can flip their gold and silver into a mil, but when people with balls protest in the street for the same goal, they call them lazy, dirty, commies etc... who's flipping who here?
The difference is, I am only asking to keep MY gold and silver. THEY want to have somebody else's handed to them. Fuck that, and fuck them!
Peanuts cause brain damage, apparently.
You know Jimmah....
Your one term was so Obama Bin Lyin' like...
One would think you would want to lay low for a couple more years...
Ignore that man behind the curtain, Jimmy.
I was at the Wall St. protests yesterday afternoon for about 4 hrs and didn't see any violence at all. There were plenty of police, but all they did was occasionally ask people to move off the sidewalk or roadway so other traffic could get through.
I think it's very important not to cry wolf about this stuff.

berlusconi starts new political party. he calls it, the "go pussy" party............oh my........
Looking forward to Portland today...
I biked over to the Seattle protest at lunch time this past Tuesday. Interesting juxtaposition between that group and Gail Simmons who was leading a Target event announcing that they would be carrying fresh local produce. Target was giving away free food among anti-corporate chants.
The occupy Seattle crowd was for the most part unruly and disorganized and reminded me of the counterprotesting crowd (I shaved my balls for this?!) that opposed the tea party event I attended in 2009 at the same location. As I ate my sandwich and scanned the crowd I tried to pick out the people who had their brains engaged. I ended up talking to a nice gal named Michelle who I asked what do you want to see done. The first thing she said was "End the Fed" so we chatted for a while. She mentioned being in charge of doing research. I handed her a print out of a recent broad ZH article (most recent one from Quinn, with lots of good charts, talking points, etc.) She had not heard of ZH, but hopefully she'll surf on over and learn more.
She appeared to be in the minority unfortunately.
The Fascist will send in agents to try to sabatoge the movement and to keep their corrupt insider theft ring going . The FBI doen't work for the American people they work for their fascist masters just ead the released documents from the civil right era .
+1... Correct analysis...
Nobody knows what to do, the response is to demand in the street some 'solution'.
Demands in the street in London, Tripoli, Tunis, Tehran, Hama, Cairo, Madison, Shenzhan, Paris, Athens, Lisbon, Madrid, Washington, DC, etc. Nobody has gotten what they 'wanted'.
The pie ain't growing any more and there are more at the table every second with knife and fork. 7 billion, all promised SUVs and SIVs. Now what?
If the bankers could hand out the goodies they would be handing them out, the banks are as broke as the demonstrators. So are the governments. Net out assets and liabilities and all the governments are underwater except maybe Norway. We had a hell of a party, though ...
As much sympathy as I have toward the protesters, they are misguided. They demand more, they demand a 'fair share', they demand to receive what television has promised them over and over. They want their college/mortgage/pension 'investments' to be worth something. Instead everything is worth nothing.
This isn't the governments' and finances' fault. They have been working at handing out something for nothing for decades. The bag is now empty.
Sorry about that.
Time to get back to basics: who goes back to the soil first? Who will walk away from the ponzis and the arbs and the gambles? Who will say 'fuck it' and stop caring? It's all just a phony game where the 'winners' get to make the rules for their own 'benefit', whatever that is.
There is a solution out there but it cannot be seen from Wall Street, DC or from an executive suite. Starting to look at the real problems might be a start ...
they aren't demanding "anything" they are demanding chages to the system that levels the playing field. why can banks, bankers borrow from the fed for nothing to buy assets when people can't get a break on their credit card rates, influence on dodd frank corrupting the best reform efforts in the bill, etc.
they are not asking for money, they are saying it's wrong for the stste to be spending all it's money and influence keeping these people in chanpagne.
Steve you are a smart Virginian...wish we had more like you down here. Good post.
dcb you aren't exactly fully informed. I believe their list of demands is now public.
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/10/the_extremist_nut_jobs_of_occupy_wall_street.html
Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.
Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.
Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.
Demand four: Free college education.
Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.
Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.
Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants.
Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.
Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.
Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.
Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.
Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.
Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.
These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.
This was not an official release, only one person's opinion that has been used to discredit the protests. This list is more reasonable, if still not something you'd agree with.
http://occupywallst.org/forum/proposed-list-of-demands-please-help-edita...
Here is the first official release. I'm not particular happy with this list myself, but is it accurate for the NY group. http://occupywallst.org/forum/first-official-release-from-occupy-wall-st...
LEO is making this a violent clash and then Hell will break loose. Mark my words. I understand the outrage, but I don't like the agenda. There are to many "leftist" hands in this right now IMHO.
This will be Epic, this will not stop unfortunately till someone lets loose in the crowd then the Precenters will join and then it's game over.
You know that saying about the tree of Liberty? The problem is, the protesters have their cordinates wrong.
TPTB want Anarchey for a Police grid installment. just my 2c.
what they will end up doing is what they always do. police dressed in black clothes and mask , looking like anarchist will start trouble with the uniformed cops in order to justify police crackdowns and rough stuff.........never fails....
always look down for the truth, the boots they will be wearing give them away (dumb motherfuckers)
its true. what are they thinking? that nobody will notice? ha ha ha ha

Above we have 3 ZHers who are engaging in accurate analysis of the facts and aren't buying any bullshit...
I remember the last time hippies took to the streets to fight "The Man" in the 1960's. Real Americans had their country literally stolen from them by these "civil rights" Marxists and it has only gone downhill since then.
I see no economic, social, or cultural recovery coming anytime soon. Just look at the young people and the newly imported working class. Where do you think these brainwashed, low-IQ, radically liberalized youths -- our future leaders -- are going to lead us to? Right into a Soviet Brazilified camp in the Global Gulag. Don't get your hopes up and you won't be disappointed.
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Why didn't I take the blue pill?"
Yuri Bezmenov KGB defector explained how this is done 30 years ago. See YouTube for details.
any conspiracy aimed at amerikans has been going on for a very long time. the anti war movment back then was controlled opposition from the start..........
Real white, Protestant, male Americans.
FTFY
Don't have to be white, Protestand or male to be a real American - it's a state of mind.
i sincerely doubt there are very many protestants out there. most of these people are atheist i would think. the protestants are at home watching this on their boob tubes inbetween channel changes to some religious channel where they are brain washed with some zionist theologies etc...
I was responding to that bit.
you can still take it...
Welcome to the War at Home! When the white shirts are overpowered, the troops from the Middle East will come home. Waiting for a fatality to happen. Who's the next Crispus Attucks?
