With all this occuring on Wall St, I think this video speaks alot on why we are all there protesting in the first place. Its a video on the leaked memos from Citibank. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy87kzKxkP8&feature=related

Any comments? How is this not on anybodys mind?

This is exactly what we are protesting: The global financial elite.

Exactly why I posted the link, somehow news organizations are asking why? why? When memos like these leak out and of course they do their best to turn the other way. PLEASE SPREAD THIS LINK!! POST IT TO YOUR FACEBOOK PAGES! INFORM THE 99%, AWAKEN THEM!

Agreed! We know the tactics of the MSM. They are completely ignoring the other movement that has been in the making for months: www.october2011.org

Have you seen Sorkin's (NYT coummnist) coverage of OWS? Apparently, he takes orders from Wall st. banksters and was contacted by one of them and asked to go and check to see if this occupation really was a "big deal" or not...

I think what is really scary is the fact of redistricting and all of the new voter laws that are being put in place. I do believe that has to tie into your link. Take away the "one" vote. As archaic as our system is, it is the only one we have. I think the clip was from Capitalism, A Love Story (M. Moore). How very true how only the 1% can change the way we all live. They would like to dumb us down and keep us sick so we will be to weak to fight back.

They have also tricked the somewhat well off 99% (people who aren't multimillionaires but earn more than 100k) that any reformation of the economic system will affect them.
