we must beware of being co-opted by the lesser evil: the democratic party. the democratic congressional campaign committee recently announced support for the movement; we should not, nay, MUST not accept. the so called progressives of the democratic party have shown time and time again that they are politics as usual: ideologically bankrupt and beholden to economic interests that are at odds with the people. organized labor must end its poisonous alliance with the liberal opportunists in order to work for structural change for the benefit of the workers of this country. students who want to see the kind of structural change that is needed to reform this society and make it about equality and human rights must not lend support to these people. if we accept to be absorbed by the democrats th message gets lost; it will become democrats vs. republicans as it always has been. democrats and republicans are two sides of the same coin; they are BOTH the enemy here. we cannot be tempted. i urge all of you, comrades in the streets, supporters at home: please, resist encroachment by these enemies of the people. republicrats are poison; this movement is ours!
Never settle for the lesser evil. Avoid leaders, seek allies instead.
A leader is there to tell you what to do and what to think. Seeking leaders is what made the mess in the first place. They will tell you what to do, but for their own agendas.
Instead seek allies, people with the same objective. And move toward it. Think for yourself, educate yourself, and find allies.
Both parties are useless, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

if you want to support a Presidential Candidate Committee at AmericansElect.org in support of the above bank-focused platform.
It won't be more than two weeks before Barack Obama himself declares OWS his official supporters, while throwing GE another tax exemption and creating another high level government job position for GE CEO Jeff Immelt to occupy at the bargain price of $100,000 an hour.
Mark my words.
agreed.

According to a 2008 article by David Rothkopf, the world’s 1,100 richest people have almost twice the assets of the poorest 2.5 billion (Rothkopf, 2008). Aside from the obvious problem – that this global elite has their hands in everything from politics to financial institutions – …

To the extent that we, the people, are removed from control over our lands, marketplaces, central banks, and media we are no longer empowered. In practice, those few who do control the land, central bank, media and "free market" are the real rulers of our corrupt and declining "democracy."
Due to propaganda from a corporate-owned and edited media we are kept from knowing, much less debating, the nature of our system. Due to a central bank owned by bankers, media owned by a few global concerns, and trade regime controlled by global corporations (i.e., one designed to remove the people from control over their markets and environments) the vast majority have become little more than latter-day serfs and neo-slaves upon a corporate latifundia.
To restore a semblance of effective democracy and true freedom Americans, and people around the world, need to re-educate themselves as to the true nature of their political and economic systems. Toward this end, OligarchyUSA.com is dedicated to providing old and new information, books, links, reform ideas and debates not easily found or accessed today in establishment media.
OligarchyUSA.com is but one more site and sign of the times as ground-up counter-revolutions arise around the world... all in response to a forced and freedomless globalization courtesy of a ruling global elite perfecting their top-down plutocracy and revolutions of the rich against the poor. In short, democracy is no longer effective today. For this reason, it is toward a restoration of truly effective and representative democracies, and natural freedom, that this site is dedicated.
Too true. OWS needs to be a non-partisan effort or else it will simply be absorbed into the media-fueled political circus which got us into this mess in the first place. Keep them distracted by the red and blue so that the 1% can bankrupt the 99%.
We don't support them, but nothing stops them from supporting us.
my fear is that since the democratic party has unlimitd access to the media they can manipulate their statement of support to make it seem like their interests and our interests coincide. then it just becomes the same old contest of republican vs. democrat. we need to spread the word and make sure that this doesnt happen
That will be our task, no matter who supports (or pretends to support) us. No one said it would be easy.
As soon as a group of people get together to control things (like the union), there is corruption. It is just human nature.
So the 99% stands its best chance un-united?
I don't know how to fix it. Unions are corrupt. Politicians are corrupt. Big business is corrupt. They all look out for their own interest.
That is why we, the 99%, are driving this bus. Politicians, union leaders, celebrities, etc are passengers.
