Forum Post: OWS Betrayed

Posted 13 years ago on Nov. 10, 2011, 1:30 a.m. EST by journey4word (214)
This content is user submitted and not an official statement

this will be deleted very quickly so try to spread the word.

If you are serious about the movement know that this website has its own agenda. MANY Posts are Deleted daily because it will not profit this site if OWS succeeds. MANY posts that shed light on issues in order to resolve them are Deleted

some are deleted simply because they unarguably bring rationality and organization to our participants, which will eventually bring OWS to a successful end. THIS will put an end to the donations and is the #1 reason.

other posts are deleted simply because they don't want you to know certain facts. in the end this goes back to the primary reason, money.

so. MY posts may have been deleted, many others may have been deleted. but they can't delete whats on our minds and it will spread. and this FALSE support website will fall with the rest of the scamming con artists of the world. WHAT YOU READ HERE DAILY IS BEING CENSORED.

Actually, I am not crazy. I am a facilitator of my local occupation, but I am starting to be upset about the censorship on this forum as well.

I have been scrubbed from this site twice. I may be confrontational but not necessarily disrespectful. They treasure their own Free Speech but do not want to extend that right to those who do not agree with them.

[-] 0 points by journey4word (214) 13 years ago

exactly. I imagine the moderators are the type that will burn books, afraid people will wise up, if they ever find their way into power.

[-] 0 points by happier (9) 13 years ago

I do know that their are "people" on this forum that take names and report them to the moderators, one told me he reported me, but he did apologize later.... but I was scrubbed...

My dad told a story about going to an SDS meeting in the early 70's when he was in school. The faculty advisor cautioned the group about getting into a project that would be successful. He seemed to think organization building was more important then developing a goal and working toward it. The phrase my dad quoted from that advisor was, "success in a bummer, when you get close to your goal they let you succeed and that ruins your organization". Maybe that's what you've stumbled on, organizing and growing is more important then actually working within the system and making changes.

so, protesting just to protest? I've known a few people who would argue for the sheer enjoyment.

[-] 1 points by JenLynn (692) 13 years ago

I guess he meant that some people thought that organizing was more important that a goal. The kids at the meeting all wanted to get something done. This prof, the advisor, was the one that was pushing for organizing and growing by picking fights you couldn't win and doing what you could to get media attention to attract more followers. As far as arguing goes I like that too sometimes, as long as it doesn't get to be personal attacks.

What would the successful end to the 'Occupy' movement look like? What are the end goals of this movement?

What would the successful end to the 'Occupy' movement look like?

A second term for Obama.

wow, there really are some great ones. yes a lot of garbage posted but if you keep reading there are some good ones.

I like the limitations on campaign contributions. a MAXIMUM reached, remainder goes to a charity. I also like a set salary for elected officials that is no greater than the average of their constituents. i.e: president earning the national average (about $19/hr last I heard). governors earning state average. IF congress wants a damn raise then get it for everyone in their district! mayors earning the average income of those in their town. THEN we may find people running for office because they TRULY want to serve.

well, there are others, those I really liked. finding ways to end corporate greed? I'm just a bystander so you'd be better hearing from these guys.

I've seen some deletions for inane babbling, just sayin'.

[-] 0 points by journey4word (214) 13 years ago

h,mnn, yes that would be reasonable, to thin out the sillyness. however I do like the Idea of freedom of speech.

however, I've posted replys that where I only stated " BACON! I Want BACON" and those remain here intact. It was when we started getting deeper into solving some issues is when the moderators became afraid.

I like to say titties as much as possible in my replies, I really haven't been harassed for it. But then, everybody loves titties.

[-] 1 points by journey4word (214) 13 years ago

God Bless Titties

Most likely because you bring up conspiracy type scenarios without proof. You probably accuse OWS of stuff that is not true.

I troll like a madman, and not one of my posts was deleted. How many times have I written: vote Ron Paul, not Ron Lawl to show the problem of censorship. How many times have I accused OWS of a lack of transparency for not directly talking about anarchism.

[-] 0 points by journey4word (214) 13 years ago

actually no, i'm no troll, have no conspiracy theorys. a few facts most Younger supporters aren't aware of and wear no blindfold for any political party.

just because you troll and make noise doesn't mean you'll be deleted.

but if you post something that Scares them, bet your ass it will be deleted.

keep working on it. when you hit a nerve, when you nail something on the head they can't dispute. THATS when you too will be deleted.

Let's test shall we?

[-] 0 points by journey4word (214) 13 years ago

I have, and a lot of my replys stuck. on another name. feel free to test. my last 2 were delted. Again, due to more information than the Mods here care to have known.

Will This Get Censored?

Umm, need we take pictures of the mess that is "Industrial America" and form a comparison?

[-] 0 points by journey4word (214) 13 years ago

I doubt it. Gathering draws attention draws profit.

it's the rational conclusions that will be deleted. those also conclude the donations.

remember NOTHING lasts forever. how we want it to end? I'm sure where everyone is at least satisfied. but just like anything else, there are always those who don't want a win or a loss, just a continuation . that's where their take is

Old hippie fuck I need your help. Need help making a t-shirt. We need to draw a picture of Zooccotti Park with a cage around it. Here are some ideas: Draw a hippie climbing the cage like a monkey and throwing shit. Draw a hippie rolling in mud and shit like a pig. Draw a hippies fucking like dogs. Draw a picture of a hippie eating peanuts like a big fucking elephant. Draw a hippie as a lazy fucking Ape doing nothing.

you keep posting this copy pasta on here.

Except that most of the movement isn't hippies asking for a handout. So once again your stupidity fails you and yours again.

[-] 0 points by ThatOneguy (10) 13 years ago

It's funny and people love it. I've sold over 5000 tshirts here! Free advertisement.

They particularly don't want any information getting out about how the leaders along with the SC are embezzling the donation money for themselves. Anyone ever wonder why there is no real accounting of the donations, other than the little spreadsheet they put out last week? The OWS had raise $500k over a month ago. It is still at $400,000? so either they are not raising any more money, or the people controlling it are stealing it for their own purposes. Do the math.
