OWS must step down, to the demands of this movement.
At this rate, this movement will implode.

Even thought the NY Post is a Rupert Murdoch-owned puppet publication, these are good questions. Where is the transparency?

Please use credit unions because one person one share in the credit union. Also try to buy from cooperatives like ocean spray. co-ops are good because one person can not control it again one person one share, the 1% could not be that if most all companies were cooperatives, start buying, working, and banking with cooperatives and credit unions, if most of us do the power of the 1% will shrink. This would help solve lot of capitalism's problems of the 1% owning most of the capital, excuse the pun. Please copy and pass this message on!

"We don't know what happened to the $300k in donations." - You know what happens to donated money if you attend GAs.

"We don't know who donated the $300k (corporations, political parties?)" - Various and who cares?We arent politicians. Donations =/=loyalty purchased.

"So we know who the CFO is. Who's the CEO?" - The CFO in this case more than likely just the person that does the accounting a long with a team( work group). The GA is the CEO.

"Who runs this website?" -http://occupywallst.org/about/

"We don't know what happened to the $300k in donations."

Untrue, the money is in a bank account it was discussed on tv today and the bank was named. I don't recall the exact info but it was given.

Also "who donated" was discussed, 210K came from internet donations and the rest came from the donation box at the park. The average donation was 47 dollars.

Don't depend on Fox-owned media for your information, seek other sources.

And wow, some of the information I gave here IS contained in that article. Don't you read your own sources?

The group that organized this..Adbusters is from Canada. They are openly anti-capitalists. They started OWS.

However I see that the movement has attracted more then the anti-capitalists crowd. I'm not sure they counted on that. Now the people are taking notice of the movement. I am not surprised to see other political types try and step in. When they unleash the “real” agenda, I think most PEOPLE involved in this movement will recognize that. I have witnessed the awakening of many people, who came here for information.

transparency is a must. We must eat our own dog food.
