The process through which a potentially powerful movement may be co-opted and controlled is slight and subtle. If Occupy Wall Street hopes to strive for the 99%, it must not submit to the 1%, in any capacity.
For the Occupy Movement to build up and become a true force for change, it must avoid and reject the organizational and financial ‘contributions’ of institutions: be they political parties, non-profits, or philanthropic foundations. The efforts are subtle, but effective: they seek to organize, professionalize, and institutionalize a movement, push forward the issues they desire, which render the movement useless for true liberation, as these are among the very institutions the movement should be geared against.

Dear consumers, I am the 1%. I am the voice of wall street and I love your shiney ipads, ringing cell phones and cozy sleeping bags. Without my corporations, you would not have these items. Also the food that you eat comes from my corporations. I urge you to put your skills to use and start a startup. Right here in my park.
Create a product, or start a farm. Then sell your goods to other consumers. Then when you realize that you want to expand and hire more people for your product or farm you can hire consumers to help you get more money. Unless your company sucks and goes out of business as most do. Once you have started your product/service or farm you will realize how big an investment it is and how hard it is to support your employees.
Most companies are in debt. They borrow money from... wait for it... venture capitalists! the 1%!!! The companies are in debt, while the workers get paid with the 1%s money!
Yes money. MONEY. My street runs green with money, my street is wall street and you are my welcome guests. Stay here with my blessing and help us hire more police officers - we give them lots of money to make sure that you are safe and that you don't do something stupid.

this would be great inside of a larger explanation of how all of the isms are mental cages and how everyone is played against everyone else as ideology pwns, and then that inserted into a larger intellectual strategy. Stand alone, all i can say is i agree, but wish once again that people posted in relevant threads instead of starting new ones.
it wont fit, it was taken out of a longer article found on infowars.com.. i just didn't want to post that website because most articles found on that website are garbage. But i found a positive article about OWS and this was a excerpt from it. It is worth reading

basically, we all need to stick together and trust each other.
scrutinize everything. hold every action to a golden standard. if its not helping the people its not helping the movement
