Forum Post: OWS already being hijacked by the 1%'ers

Well, that didn't take long. Michael Moore, George Soros, Janeane Garofalo, several labor union bosses - all financially supporting OWS. Interesting that the very 1%'ers that they despise are now providing sustance to them. Irony is a bitch. But I suppose they won't have any issues with this little technicality, right, because these 1%'ers "care about them." Right?

They may be donating but WHO exactly is getting the money? If this movement is leaderless then who exactly is making decisions regarding the use of said monies?

This is getting rather bizarre.

Well, these two places for one, in a quick 2 minute search:

http://www.expanton.com/ http://nycga.cc/donate/

Who is behind these outfits is anyone's guess. And how many more can be found with Google and 15 minutes of time, who knows.

But this is getting a little hypocritical, really quick.

^ Very true. Some guy named slam has been asking about the donations all day. Where are they?

I noticed his posts too and felt kind of stupid that I didn't put two and two together before he said something.

I like to think that nothing nefarious is going on but the lack of accountability is unnerving.

who would take care of the money in a leaderless movement?

Nobody knows. Not enough people are asking these questions either.

1% giving money to OWL. ROFL! You OWLer's here can't even get the math right. Only 25% of the people in this country vote. It's safe to say that a majority of the so called 1%er's vote, while a vast amount of 99%er's don't vote! I wonder how many of the 1% er's are whacky left wingers? I would say quite a few. And now you all have Obama on your side. Which bridge are you going to fuck up this week? I wanna make sure I can get to work on time so I get paid and contribute to the tax base that allows you assholes to keep doing your thing!

Hijacked means taking over. They aren't taking over, they are supporting. We need all the support we can get

And you find nothing even slightly irconic about that support coming from the very 1% that is supposedly evil?

And Michael Moore announced logistics support in the form of WIFI, so everyone can use their iPads and iPhones. Oh the irony that OWS participants would be supported by technology and products that the very 1% they despise created and developed. Rather funny if you ask me.

Well, you can't get very far without money. Can't say I like the direction this is going in though...
