OWS Spokesperson declares
He is an OWS Spokesperson
OWS is a socialist movement
George Soros is a 99 percenter
Money in politics is OK, so long as you agree with the donor's political views.
The Ron Paul people need to be expunged from the group
OWS is infested with Anti-Semites
Inclusiveness is nice to talk about, but in practicality it will never work
The political views of "Real" OWS people are only supported by 33% of the American political spectrum
Can this be right?
Who said "dost" is an official spokesperson of OWS?? Lord.
no, this is an impostor
LIES AND DECEIT!
I am the one and only voice of #OWS! And I do declare that we stand for the revival and global expansion of the First French Empire! Even if some among us do not share my sentiments, this, and nothing else, is the one true goal of the #OWS movement.
Also functional regulation of the economy and less shady money in politics.
But mostly, THE REBORN FIRST FRENCH EMPIRE! Long live I, zombie Napoleon.
Disclosure : This is a parody.
I didn't think OWS had a spokesperson. But from some of the things I've been seeing on here today, I'm beginning to not know who to believe. I'm confused!

If I had to say either way, I'd say he's definitely part of the problem. The same old problem. That's why I got disgusted with politics years ago and stopped paying attention. I'm thinking now that was to my detriment. Now I'm playing catch-up. The most politically active I've been in years is the last four days on this site. I've been hooked because it seemed like finally maybe something was being done that would turn the process in the right direction. I'm hoping I'm not wrong and OWS turns out to be a smokescreen. I have no party affiliation, by the way. In the past I've voted Rep. or Dem. depending on the candidate.

lol who is he and who anointed him
I mean seriously who the hell is DOST? Stop with the sensationalist posts.

Well also remember that this is just a website and this place isn't indicative to the actual political feelings of OWS in general. After all, we can play the "ron paul groups are co-opting our movement!" videos all day long every time we see a "obama fans co-opt another OWS protest" blah blah blah. The key is to be as unrelenting about or true message as possible. And hey, sometimes you have to thin the herd. Change is going to come, with or with out them. And you know what the best part is guy? History will remember US and not them!

Dude, thank you so much for getting it man!
There is no spokesman for the group. that guys full of shit. stop with the whiny posts everytime that someone shows the slightest hint of opposition. it makes us look like pussies.
The point of the "99%" tag is not to say that we speak for 99% of the country, but rather that we are increasingly disenfranchised and oppressed by the richest 1%. There are a lot of people who don't care or don't recognize that they are being disenfranchised. We can't possibly represent them, representing them is irrelevant. The point is that we represent ourselves and resent being marginalized in our democracy.

Sorry to say the obvious but the 99% gave and still give the 1% their power. It's 100% of the people that need to change.
And OWS is trying to bridge the differences between several generations that have been indoctrinated with lifetimes worth of misinformation from multiple perspectives and backgrounds.
OWS must remain committed to improving the quality of life for 100% of the people for it to succeed.
No, it's wrong. Are you kidding me? There is no OWS spokesperson. Anyone claimnig such a title is full of shit. OWS is not a socialist movement, it is a people-powered movement, where everyone gets a voice. George Soros? What does he have to do with anything going on down here? Seriously! Money in politics? That is EXACTLY what we are protesting. Anti-semites are called out. They are in the extreme minority. Inclusiveness is working - I see it work every day. The most recent Gallop pole showed 56% support OWS, 22% are undecided, and 22% are against. Contrastly, in the same poll the support for the Tea Party is 25%. We have more than twice the support than the Tea Party. How are them apples?!
[Removed]
Absolutely not. Everyone is welcome here. That's the beauty of it - we have a radically democratic General Assembly that respects everyone's voice. I would love to see more Tea Partiers come down here. Then they will see actual discussion and democracy in action. I've constructively engaged many Tea Partiers online dispelling their misconceptions and asking them to back up their prejudice with facts. These discussions have been most fruitful, and I've seen many of them come around to one degree or another. This requires compassion and a commitment to speaking truth intelligently.

Many more people will come to your side when you are proactive (for “new” Business & Government solutions), instead of reactive (against “old” Business & Government solutions), which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive “new” strategy that implements all our various socioeconomic demands at the same time, regardless of party, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves; that is, using a Focused Direct Democracy organized according to our current Occupations & Generations. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategically Weighted Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

Join
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StrategicInternationalSystems/
because we need 100,000 “support clicks” at AmericansElect.org to support a Presidential Candidate -- such as any given political opportunist you'd like to draft -- in support of the above bank-focused platform.
Most importantly, remember, as cited in the first link, that as Bank Owner-Voters in your 1 of 48 "new" Business Investment Groups (or "new" Congressional Committees) you become the "new" Congress replacing the "old" Congress according to your current Occupation & Generation, called a Focused Direct Democracy.
Therefore, any Candidate (or Leader) therein, regardless of party, is a straw man, a puppet, just like today, for it's the STRATEGY – the sequence of steps – that the people organize themselves under, in Military Internet Formation of their Individual Purchasing & Group Investment Power, that's important. In this, sequence is key.
Why? Because there are Natural Social Laws – in mathematical sequence – that are just like Natural Physical Laws, such as the Law of Gravity. You must follow those Natural Social Laws or the result will be Injustice, War, etc.
The FIRST step in Natural Social Law is to CONTROL the Banks as Bank Owner-Voters. If you do not, you will inevitably be UNJUSTLY EXPLOITED by the Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government who have a Legitimate Profit Motive, just like you, to do so.
Consequently, you have no choice but to become Candidates (or Leaders) yourselves as Bank Owner-Voters according to your current Occupation & Generation.
So please JOIN the 2nd link so we can make our support clicks at AmericansElect.org when called for, at exactly the right time, by an e-mail from that group, in support of the above the bank-focused platform. If so, then you will see and feel how your goals can be accomplished within the above strategy as a “new” Candidate (or Leader) of your current Occupation & Generation.
