Everyone needs to read this!! It has definitely already started
lost me when he claimed anarchists were part of the 'Tea Party.' maybe there were some good points but there you go. spew lies and i stop listening. i'm more worried about the Tea Party co-opting OWS or is it too late?
We need Tea Partiers and Anarchists if we truly want to claim this is the 99%. We need as many people as possible, no matter their ideology.
Then, we need to look at everyone's demands and find ones that are achievable, realistic, and are supported by everyone else.
If we don't do that, this is doomed to fail.
We CAN do this.
i agree with that. i am just starting to see (and talk to) more and more Ron Paul Tea Party folks and they are pushing hard to lay their voices over every one else. just like the dems are starting to. i love the fact that for the first 3 1/2 weeks there were such varying backgrounds and political positions and everyone got along equally. i am starting to see co-option and i'm hoping people don't buy into that. maybe i'm wrong. i hope so but i've seen this happen so many times it makes me want to scream.
They give a lot of good information. Some of this i was personally aware of myself. And this one of my fears with some corps and some politicians endorsing us. Every time they infiltrate and succeed with a hostile take over of a movement we have to start over.
We need to stay united without outside ( corporate and political ) influences. We need to watch donations and definitely not endorse any outside sources. Everything needs to come from within.
I think it is also important that the core group, the ones who started this are the ones making the judgment calls on this type of thing. They are the core and they should not be influenced by outside forces( infiltrators). They would be the most trustworthy of the movement to make sure we stay on track in my opinion.
Infiltrators. Exactly. We are seeing this already in the media.
yes, and as always the best defense against all of that is the work that we do intellectually which binds the movement to the truth.
as we form open source think tanks and if we do... it gets harder and harder.. infiltrators more and more obvious and less and less able to have any effect other than outing themselves.
