If these are really your beliefs carry on. If not you may want to re think your stance with occupy wall st.

Don't believe me follow your precious donation button for yourselves. As a matter of fact PLEASE don't believe me look for yourselves... Continue to ask questions. Continue to read the "fine print". But for goodness sake know who you are fighting for. Is it for rebels in South America?

I'm all for truth in advertising, transparency, call it what you will.

But the left and the right are just as guilty on this matter.

Don't you guys get it? Both parties are shilling for themselves, not us. Maybe they're the ones with the golden parachute. For sure they're the ones doing the backroom deals. And I seemed to notice we have the most guns, bombs, nukes in the entire world.

Let me also point out that the donations are in fiat currency.

People, go to Home Depot to get your wheelbarrows while we can still afford them.

ok that is fine. and that is your belief. I get it. I happen to believe in FBR but whatevs that wasn't or isn't the point I am trying to make. I am trying to ask - where are the donation monies going? Why does it seem like they are funneling up to a larger group? Do people who donate really know where their money is going?

[-] 1 points by mgiddin1 (1057) from Linthicum, MD 13 years ago

No, probably not.

I donated to the media team, the money went right to the paypal account of the people who produce the live stream.

I believe the link is at livestream.com/globalrevolution

do you have to log in ? I checked out the page. No place to donate as far as I could see.

[-] 1 points by powertothepeople (1264) 13 years ago

This is their paypal link

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=X57HSP5CDUHNG

If you want to reach it from livestream, look under the video box. Theres a link that says

DONATE TO EQUIP OUR LIVE VIDEO TEAM

Cool... That seems Kosher. You should let others know

I must admit I am a little reticent to donate when the money is processed through Nicueragua (sp). I so admire this movement and want to support them but I don't like the Central America thing.

[-] 1 points by touchit (126) 13 years ago

You have a big demonstration today. sign people up to vote. or donate supplies directly, I guess. But just bear in mind where the money is going before you spend of your own on a movement that clearly doesn't care where donations are directed.

[-] 1 points by Skylar11 (14) from St Louis, MO 13 years ago

Good advise, thanks. I love the organic nature, and passion of this movement, I totally support them. I work for gov. so my involvement is going to have to be minimal. Agreed, in the upcomming days they are going to need to crystalize their focus.

[-] 1 points by touchit (126) 13 years ago

Don't get your hopes up too high. They have been here 3 weeks and their focus is everywhere... Wednesday night was nothing short of terrifying. Protesters, Police, By Standers were all in peril. It was far from peaceful. Both sides are to blame for that. I really feel this movement lost their innocence that night. They were in bed, willingly, with some of the most notorious union thugs on the planet and shockingly things got pretty violent. It wont be long until they are swept out of the park under the guise of "public health concerns".

I really am not a "paranoid" but the media coverage of this whole thing makes me suspicious. First time I saw an article on MSNBC, when I got done reading the article and comments, it had been removed from the site. I have heard nothing of the thing on Wednesday. Going to have to search for it. Thanks.

occupyny.org Look for the foley sq stuff. Now watch when night becomes day. The first brawl is in front of the TD Ameritrade bank on the corner of Wall and Broadway. I was leaving work when this all went down. There was no way I could get to the PATH train so I did what any one would do . Pivoted. Went to the seaport and had a beer... The protesters were creating human links and rushing the police. the police were responding with telescoping night sticks. Bad scene.

Yea you can totally send clothing down there or non perishable food. Individuals not associated with any group are still trying to come down and support so any extra sleeping bags, tarps etc will be distributed and anything they do not need they share with homeless & needy folks.

Nobody look over there --->, the link in the lower right corner, alternet has donated this site. http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7345

[-] 1 points by powertothepeople (1264) 13 years ago

Yes, alternet donated the server after the first few days when it got hit with too much traffic.

I have no problem with alternet. What is the problem with alternet?

[-] 1 points by Slam1263 (196) 13 years ago

This is really starting to suck. I do not support the NWO, but everywhere we turn on this site, George Soros has a finger in it. Why does one of the richest, greediest, most amoral people in the world want us in the streets?

[-] 1 points by powertothepeople (1264) 13 years ago

Yea, well do what you think is right. I think I've been chatting with 2 very talented undercover posters.

[-] 1 points by Slam1263 (196) 13 years ago

This starting to smell like Bangor. Or Tacoma.
