The mainstream propaganda machine is trying to define you right now on CNN . They say this is another tea party ?... huh ... no political party's here.... They say we the 99% are for the Buffett rule and Warren Buffett is a leader of OWS? I don't know what the Buffett rule is. I don't see Warren Buffett anywhere here leading anything... I see people of the 99% leading. This is whole thing is Obama's reelection kick off ? Obama is irrelevant ... he has made himself irrelevant by serving the 1% instead of doing his job and serving the 99%

True, today's Business & Government is irrelevant, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers yourselves. Consequently, I have posted the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

It is hard to believe that this isn't Obama's reelection campaign when the list of endorsing organizations is a' Who's who' of his previous election campaign.

I hope this protest, which I support, should culminates in a third party which would hold sway in Congress and the state houses. BWT, I've made a small contribution.

Don't think negatively, we have done that for years, and that is what the powers that be want us to do. We are united in this, apparently everyone feels this way, this is the time we will change things. It will just keep growing. I have messages on my facebook page and I cannot even read the language. Tell me this isn't going to work, and I will say yes it will.

And yet the 99% will turn out and vote for Obama. Then we'll be back where we started.

I want somebody else to vote for ! but, nobody wants to change the Two party monopoly that has been forced on us.

[-] 1 points by dantes44 (431) from Alexandria, VA 13 years ago

Third party is desperately needed.

Have some faith in people waking up! Every time you turn around even Obama's base support is crumbling. As it should. There is not one bit of difference between the republicans and the democrats we have had in the White House since Johnson. JFK was the last true president of the people. He tried to restore sound money to America AND wanted to get us out of Vietnam- until he was assassinated, ofcourse.

Funny I feel the same way, and was going to email them, then decided to comment here instead, since more are reading this than watching cnn. Labels, I am sick of labels, and the news trying to make news, instead of reporting it. I think the protests should call themselves the American People Party. I certainly am glad this happened, I am proud of those that started it, and will join, and this is what America is about. " We the people.......promote the general welfare..." for all Americans, not just a few. "Give em hel!!!!!!!!! Ignore the news, or speak out to them, to report instead of trying to label something, or repeat over and over their needs to be a central demand. We demand a democratic government, how's that, one that represents all of us. What is so hard to understand, we are mad and we are not going to take it anymore.

They're not trying to make news - they are a well-funded and executed arm of propaganda that has been shaping public opinion for a long time. However, people are starting to wake up to the lies; that is why they are losing so much viewership.

Tells you more about the MSM than it does about OWS.

Look how they are ridiculing, lying, spinning what is happening.

No different than what they've been doing for years. They're bought just like the government (except they're supposed to look objective).

If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property, until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." ~ Thomas Jefferson

Agree! Our currency is backed by nothing and printed by a group of private Banksters who supercede the government. The Fed is neither Federal nor does it have any reserves. Also, you can thank Nixon for the decline of our standard of living since he took us off the gold standard 40 yrs ago.
