Well, it finally happened, just as Webster G. Tarpley said it would. God bless the Occupy Wall Street people, their hearts were in the right place, but they got DUPED. This is what happens when you have a movement with NO DEMANDS.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45260610/ns/us... The headline to the above story is a pathetic joke, "To demand or not to demand?" I suppose they'll have endless meeting arguing the existential metaphysics of the cosmic validity of demands.
So, in 2011 we had the "Arab Spring." I'm going to start calling the Occupy Wall Street Movement movement as the "American Fall." That'll piss them off.
I guess they never heard this...
"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." - Frederick Douglas
http://www.history.rochester.edu/class/dou... Sorry, good hearted Liberals, but the OWS movement is not a "start" or a "beginning," IT'S OVER. The main stream media is going to beat you senseless because you don't have a clue as to how real change is accomplished. You had a golden opportunity with the full attention of the world-wide media to deliver a program of demands that would have really addressed genuine problems.
Would it have been too much to demand a WALL STREET SALES TAX OF 1%? You could have told America through the MSM, "Wall Street created this Depression, MAKE WALL STREET PAY! We demand a 1% Wall Street Sales Tax!" But no, I guess that didn't fit in with your New Agey model.
With all the young people there, why weren't you demanding STUDENT LOAN AMNESTY? Instead, vast numbers of young people will go NOWHERE with their lives because there are no jobs to go along with their degrees. "No job" means a lifetime of endless DEBT and no forward progress for your generation. That's what you are left with now. But, evidently, that was either too much to demand or not important.
Now that Winter is a few weeks away, the American Fall is over and will have accomplished as much as the Arab Spring. NOTHING. The tyrants are still in charge and they'll still get their bonuses.
