According to one protester "The food shows up, and we eat it"
GEEZ my eyesight is getting bad!!!
please fix the text “protests are NOW happening all over the world”
There were more 13-year-old girls trying to see Taylor Swift at Macy’s yesterday than their are OWS protestors in NY.
Oh well if “proteats” are going worldwide then I’m going to brew another pot of coffee.
;)
Tea Party Member: They certainly are.
How much investigation do you need? It's David Axelrod, and this is Obama 2012.
¿Qué?
Hey OWS idiots... Obama raked in more money from Wall Street than any politician in the past 20 years:

Take a look, OWS, at all of that big bank money, and money from BoA.
The protests are not bothering me much. They don’t amount to squat and they are in the wrong place.
They should be protesting the Democrats and President Obama.
When they get under my feet and the feet of real Americans, these kids will get stomped on, hard.
A bunch of College Socialised kids and Communist older folks who never worked a day.
The violence will be in our streets too. Just a matter of time. Obama, Hoffa and the democrats own this. They called for it, they supported and they condoned it.
My first job was in 1983 hoeing weeds in an almond orchard. I then sorted tomtaoes in a canary before moving on to dishwasher at a breakfast restaraunt . You see, I didn't envy the rich when I was young, I was never too good to do any job and was always grateful for the opportunities I found.
I had no skills!! Why wouldn't I work for minimum wage? I eventually got a job delivering screws, nuts, and bolts. From there I started at community college. In time, I transferred to a university. Delivering nuts and bolts was getting to be a drag so I got a job as a stock room person in the chemistry department. At this job, I met someone who got me in a part-time job as a technician at a start-up company. I finished my degree and went full time at the start-up company. I used the money from this job to put my eventual wife through vet school. When my wife graduated from vet school, she put me through graduate school where I got a PhD in chemistry.
This all started with a crappy minimum wage job working in the fields!! When my wife and I met we had maybe $2000 between us and two crappy cars. The point is not that I'm something special. The point is that I'm not something special!!! My kids are now in there late teens and always tell my them one of the best lessons I learned was: In life, you'll always find exactly what you're looking for. If you look for success you'll find it. If you look for excuses you'll find that just as easily. Choose wisely!!! The Wall Street Protesters are looking for excuses and they've found them with the encouragement of our own President. I told my son that's good news for him because now he'll have less people getting in the way when he's looking for success.
It's as "spontaneous" as what happened at Kent State. And it's the same sort of people behind it.
"the purpose of all this agitation at Kent State was to recruit as much cannon fodder as possible, and then to provoke a "major confrontation." When it came, it would be neither accidental nor spontaneous. It would be exactly what the revolutionaries wanted.
On April 8, 1969, S.D.S. toughs marched through various campus buildings, disrupting classes as planned, chanting "Ho, Ho, Ho chi Minh," and striking campus police officers. One of these hoodlums pleaded nolo contendere to a charge of assault and battery, and drew a fine and jail sentence. The university scheduled a disciplinary hearing for two others on April sixteenth, at which time about one hundred revolutionaries smashed into the Music and Speech building where the hearing was being held, destroyed property, and again attacked police officers. Of the fifty-eight demonstrators arrested, ten were not even students at the school. At the rally preceding the march on the disciplinary hearing, non-student Jim Mellen told the audience as follows: "We're no longer asking you to come and help us make a revolution. We're telling you that the revolution has begun, and the only choice you have to make is which side you're on. And we're also telling you that if you get in the way of the revolution, it's going to run right over you." Mr. Mellen's remarks were included in a liberally distributed S.D.S. pamphlet, which began with a quotation from Mao Tse-tung and the following warning: "The war is on at Kent State University ...."
At a meeting in Williams Hall on April 28, 1969, revolutionary Communist Bernardine Dohrn said that people fighting "oppression" would have to carry weapons for "self defense." On May sixth, at another campus rally, Joyce Cecora called for armed rebellion: "They used guns at Cornell and they got what they wanted. It will come to that here!" And at still another rally on campus on May twenty-second, S.D.S. member Rick Skirvin said this: "We'll start blowing up buildings, we'll start buying guns, we'll do anything to bring this motherf***er down."
Michener quotes a student named Ken Tennant as follows: "With me it goes back to the music festival they held at Fred Fuller Park in September, 1969. Four Weathermen came down from Chicago, with insignia on their bib overalls. They were selling their organization newspaper, and I said, 'I'll buy a copy if you'll tell me what your outfit stands for.' They said, 'We're going to destroy this corrupt American society and build a better.' I asked how, and they explained, 'We've decided to close down schools all over the nation. We're going to start in Chicago. But we have our eye on Kent State, too. It could be ripe.' "
Bear in mind that we have room here to cite only a few examples of the inflammatory agitation and propaganda on the campus at Kent State for almost two years. The evidence establishesin the words of the revolutionariesthat the goal of S.D.S. was to provoke a violent confrontation in which somebody would be hurt, or even worse.
And the most incredible such example took place on April 10, 1970, when Jerry Rubin spoke on the campus at Kent State. Jerry Rubin is a Communist, of course. We can be absolutely sure of that because he has said so repeatedly. In fact he said he was a Communist when your reporter asked him about it at the Democrat National Convention in Miami in 1972. At that Convention Rubin also said that, when he and his Comrades take over, your reporter will be gassed. At Kent State, Communist Jerry Rubin said this: "The first part of the Yippie program is to kill your parents. And I mean that quite literally, because until you're prepared to kill your parents, you're not ready to change this country. Our parents are our first oppressors."
Your first reaction on reading a thing like this, of course, is that maybe I have taken it out of context. You refuse to believe that anybody would say this. But Rubin really told the students what you just read. It is important to remember that, at the time, Jerry Rubin was a convicted criminalhe had been convicted for leading the turmoil at the 1968 Democrat National Convention in Chicago, where terrorists attacked the policewhich raises the question of how such a man could be permitted to address students on a university campus in Ohio.**
Rubin also told the Kent State students to burn down the suburbs. "The American school system will be ended in two years," he explained. "We are going to bring it down. Quit being students. Become criminals. We have to disrupt every institution and break every law. We should have more laws so we can break them, too. Everybody should have their own law to break." As for the campus itself, Comrade Rubin told the students to ignore their professors, and to "burn all the books. It's quiet here now but things are going to start again."
The campus was now ready. Almost two years of intensive Communist propaganda had their effect. A sufficient number of students was willing to serve as cannon fodder for the revolutionary "cause." The Communists needed only an excuse to provoke their "major confrontation." Three weeks later they got their excuse.

"...it is important to quote at length from the state grand jury report on the affair: "Fifty-eight Guardsmen were injured by rocks and other objects hurled at them as they moved across the 'Commons' to Taylor Hall Hill and down to the practice football field, and were then forced to retreat .... it is clear that from the time the Guard reached the practice football field, they were on the defensive and had every reason to be concerned for their own welfare .... The circumstances present at that time indicate that 74 men surrounded by several hundred hostile rioters were forced to retreat back up the hill toward Taylor Hall under a constant barrage of rocks and other flying objects, accompanied by a constant flow of obscenities and chants such as 'Kill, Kill, Kill.' Photographic evidence has established, beyond any doubt, that as the National Guardsmen approached the top of the hill adjacent to Taylor Hall, a large segment of the crowd surged up the hill, led by smaller groups of agitators approaching to within short distances of the rear ranks of the Guardsmen.
"The testimony of the students and Guardsmen is clear that several members of the Guard were knocked to the ground or to their knees by the force of the objects thrown at them. ..."

Friggin lame street liberal leftist snooze media is seriously trying to pump this anti-Capitalist, pro-Communist movement.
Its only a matter of time until one of these groups cranks up their fight song “The Internationale”, which as we all know is really the anthem for World Wide Communism.
http://www.hymn.ru/internationale/index-en.html
The simple and obvious fact that this “confiscate wealth from those we envy and hate” Protest has gone International proves that this is a collectivist march to One World Communism. Its like the World Workers Union has all gone out and activated at the same time.
Need I remind all of you that the one effect all those protests in the late 60’s was that it led to the
“empowerment” of the so-called silent majority and thus cause the election of a Republican President.
