Occupy Wall Street organizer planned to financially "commodify" the revolution

The revolution will be corporate-sponsored! That’s according to Harrison Schultz, an Occupy Wall Street organizer who also happens to be an “business intelligence analyst” at a publicly traded company. On a limited-access email list shared by Occupy protesters, Schultz wrote of a ”Corporate Funded Revolution,” calling it “a revolutionary plan.”

Despite protesters’ occupation of a New York City park and their stated goal of ending corporate influence — particularly of Wall Street — in government, e-mails emerged Monday showing Schultz and other anti-corporate organizers were a little more corporate than they like to let on.

Because of the recent anarchy, I had to dig up this old design I made in 2008 about Bill Ayers...Obama's life mentor and personal friend. These Wall Street protests are nothing more than radicals trying to fulfill a political agenda. It is also a desperate attempt to deflect attention from Obama's historic failures and blame capitalism. Liberals simply cannot stand the thought of their Fuhrer losing in 2012. If these protests were really about injustice, and Bush was president, they'd be occupying Pennsylvania Avenue and not Wall Street. Don't be fooled!

But it's not really corporate funded -- it's taxpayer funded. The money is just laundered through corporations.

A) Using Corporations to gain capital to move their “movement” forward....doesn’t that go against their whole “Down with Capitalism” mantra?

B) Is it just irony or a full blown oxy-moron, that this “anti-corporation” movement, wants to use Corporations for their goal?

No that goes into Lenin's, "The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them," category.

It’s purpose is to pursue central planning by the government.

Economic, social and education centralization.

Soros pays for the protestors.

“Occupy Wall Street = Defining Hypocritical to the T”

The ends justify the means, remember? They don’t care how they do it, they want an ice pick in SOMEONE’S ear...bloodthirsty little bastards.

W should have thought of this earlier. We could have franchised “Occupy X” like McDonalds. Design the basic concepts, processes, decision-making rules, hand-motions, and placards. Uniforms, too, although of course we would make them look like dirty hippie clothes. Then we sell franchises to people all over the country — no, the world! — and set up a training program, Occupy U, to train managers on how to run a slovenly, third-world encampment, and how to get paid by rich people, foundations, and now the government to do so.

Darn, another missed opportunity!

[AZLiberty]

That’s “We”, not “W”. Sorry, President Bush.

[elpadre]

if the protesters are receiving income now, then they have become a business and need environmental impact statements, business licenses, file appropriate state and federal papers with IRS, etc.

[NoNAIS]

Money is only bad when someone else has it.

If the Corporations have it they are Capitalistic.

If the Activists have it they are Social Justice.

Once again we have to be reminded that things that are bad when "they" are not in charge are good when "they" are in charge.

That whole blood for oil, Guantanamo, electronic eavesdropping, etc. etc. are no longer a problem when Obama is the POTUS.

[MrB]

Oh, communists will use ANY means to advance towards their goals, even if it has to use or co-opt something that is antithetical to communism, like Christianity.

[will of the people]

Their chant of
“this is what democracy looks like”
would be more honest if rendered
“this is what hypocrisy smells like”

[Mr. K]

Maybe they should sell t-shirts!

I think the irony would be completely lost on them

[baddog 219]

Obama's big plan..... Create chaos.... Take control with force.... Destroy the system.... Replace it with marxism.

And people think the movie “Network” was satire. Fools!
