It's amazing how the trolls seem so worried about a few hundred thousand dollars of private money but not a word is said about the TRILLIONS (2.3 to be exact) that went missing from the Pentagon the day after 9/11.

Trolls or not, if we can't control OWS's budget, we can't control the world's budget, either.

Who's "we"? You're sitting behind a computer screen, not sitting in a tent protesting. And OWS is not a government or a country, it's a protest movement. What the hell are you going on about budgets for?

This is exactly what I say, I am not there. We can't have global or even North American direct democracy, right? We need to use the Internet to improve our control over our political institutions. Also, people in the tends do not control OWS, either. There have been posts on that.

And OWS is not a government or a country, it's a protest movement.

But what should it be? You are sitting behind a computer screen, too. I believe that OWS should provide a solution to our common problems.

What the hell are you going on about budgets for?

Because the only solution to solve our problems is not to stay in tends (which is good for awareness), but to actually control our governments better. I believe that we should start with our own movement. OWS takes decisions, spends money. We should learn to control it. Power must be shared.

P.S. I am one of the 99%.

The original call to action came from Adbusters, but the movement is its own animal now. Adbusters isn't giving anything to the movement, but if they did, I'm sure it would come from Adbusters... Your question doesn't really make sense.

Do you know Adbusters gets money from the Tidelands Foundation?

And Tidelands gets the money from SOROS????????????????

Come on, dude. It's direct democracy. It's impossible to control. Learn about the process, please.

WASHINGTON. - The so-called "super committee" of 12 U.S. House and Senate members charged with cutting more than $1 trillion from the federal budget holds a public meeting today. But it's their private meetings that have political watchdog groups most concerned.

The reason is if OWS is indeed controlled by the 1% through Adbusters, OWS will achive no reforms.

OWS will not be effective in bringing about change, when their support money comes from the 1% like Soros.

Instead OWS and your anger and concerns are being used by Adbusters, to divert and expend your energies in worthless actions.

That my friend is the issue here.
