Sorry, to bring bad tidings, but the rapid success of the movement is bringing an array of enemies. These tend to be right wingers who see the movement as a communist conspiracy; meant to bring in more big government; martial law, more taxes, and fewer liberties; as well as paid operatives.

One article is titled OWS March On Millionaires Homes Actually Organized And Run By Obama Supporting Socialists. YT video watch?v=2wpNsGv5jm4 Same Title

Also a comment from the same YT page

"Okay, so let's hijack their movement! As long as we have the internet we can make this movement OUR movement by making our voices heard and faces seen at these events. Counter their propaganda with our own...anti-fed truth based message! ".

I don't know how a movement survives attacks like this; I suppose it depends on the dedication, awareness, knowledge and endurance of it's supporters. I'm sure disinfo and psyops agents are also playimg their part, using infiltration and devide and conquer which is a time honored tactic of the 1%.

I want the youth to know, regardless of the outcome; I'm so very proud of you. You stood up, and came forward, as magnificently as any other generation; taking the torch, and carrying it, as it was about to fall. No matter what; know that this moment will be in the history books, and you stood up and came forward, giving hope to all humanity. Endure.

One YT comment suggest infiltrating the occupations and subverting the message

I think this comment is a psyop=psychological operations comment, designed to set the WallStreet and Federal Reserve people at each others throats; thereby cancelling themselves out. Let's not fall for it. Most people who speak of the Federal Reserve at OWS, truly see it as the target , and have no desire to harm OWS. However this comment was intended to create infighting; and I'm sure is psyops.

There is an effort to get the 99% infighting and divided and attacking OWS, presenting as the enemy within. The agents of the 1% seem to be coming out of the walls . Historically all movements face this challenge and one supporter said movements must be adopted by households and communities to survive this attack; like the Civil Rights movement. Clearly many identify with OWS message; we need more.

Yes, the more they tantrum, the more we know this movement is having an impact.

Much love to those young people who are out there 24/7 braving the elements and putting their safety on the line, helping us all find our voices.

Viva la occupacion!
