Millionaires are getting hit in places they didn't used to before.

It's the Billionaires and Trillionaires who are the problem as nothing and I mean nothing is coming down to the rest of us.

Look at the abrupt slowdown that is occurring globally in Europa nations are getting snatched up left and right and being forced to accept fake austerity packages because the EU says they must take it and no one cares, it is literately starving of it's lifeblood by external elements exclusively working in tandem and concert to systematically take out the nation from the inside out. Obama as well as any other Head Of State in the modern world and cannot act due to safety reasons as remember The Federal Reserve currently controls The US Secret Service, yes that one and is useless here.

I'm somewhat confused by this. I see your point that the clenched fist and red font might give it the appearance of a communist fueled movement, but in communist countries around the globe, don't the people have very little power? One big theme of the protests is the notion of true democracy, because even when the majority of Americans want something, it doesn't happen.

I don't think people are upset specifically at the idea that people can become successful, they're upset that a very tiny percentage of the extremely wealthy can use their massive fortune in conjunction with other wealthy people, and in reality own the government and have control of the decision making. This has caused many big problems for the bulk of Americans. And since that's not democratic at all, but honestly more corporate based, we are being screwed over against our will.

We can't do anything about it, because the policians who have the power to make change are mostly bought out and corrupted. Enough is enough, and people are taking to the streets and standing up against this corrupted system which benefits the few and screws over the many.

The successful people who make over $250,000+ each year aren't what we are angry at. If you are an honest businessman who has used your intenuity and intelligence to become wealthy, than you are a textbook example of living the American dream. But if you cheat the system in order to amass a fortune, and use that fortune to continue raking in even more money without caring about the reprecussions, and spend it to feed a never ending cycle of corrupt dominance, then you aren't worthy of being called an American, you're a scumbag con artist who should be jailed.

And I have a hard time calling somebody who doesn't disapprove of the corrupted American government a true patriotic American.

I have probably done more than most of those people protesting in the OWS. I have written letters to my representatives in both Florida and in Wyoming, when I was living there, as well as to the White House, and to my Senators. I have signed my name in forms asking for the government to go back to abiding and obeying the United States Constitution, and I have even called in those same people and have attended town hall meetings trying to help to bring back the REPUBLIC to what it is supposed to be.

What the OWS movement in general want is not to have Ron Paul elected... It is not their goal to ask/demand the government to abide the rule of the land which is the United States Constitution. What they want, and their organizers want is for a socialist state to replace the Republic of the United States. For the end of capitalism completely, and this is the same goal that the organizers and fund raisers like Soros want for the United States...

You want to continue to attend these leftwing protests? it is your decision to do so. but it should also be your decision to do due dilligence and find out exactly what these people really want. Otherwise you are nothing but a "useful idiot" to them.

What do you mean they will fall right for it? This shows what kind of people are backing this movement, Socialists, Anti-American sympathizers, Anti-Zionists, etc. Those on US soil who support it are being used.
The protesters are socialists, communists, nazis, anarchists, anti-American, democrats, Obama supporters, liberals, MAKE UP YOUR MINDS!

I've seen many Ron Paul signs at occupykc, and even a "Don't Tread On Me" flag being carried by some old guy, but not a single "Kill blacks and jews!", "Embrace communism", "Down with all forms of government", "I hate America", or "Obama 2012" sign.

As I've said dozens of times on this website, there are people of all ages, races, and political affiliation taking part in those protests. Republicans, Democrats, college students, elderly veterans-- the works. As far as I know, there has been only one openly anarchist member at occupykc, but he's a total douche who always flips people off and nobody there really likes him.

That's an American flag, not a communist China flag.

Remind you of any particular protest group?

Some of the demonstrators may be in those categories, but as I mentioned, the people behind the scenes funding this movement are the real problem. The powers that be create the problem and then they propose the solution. I think we all know that, it should be old hat by now. Of course everyone is upset at the nonsense created in our country by people in power, but they are the ones funding this movement. Yes, by the time they are done they will have everyone suing for a change for the better, and if they have their way, the answer will be more government control and locking up any people like the protestors in internment camps. They are just bucking for a home grown terrorist to use as an example in news headlines as an excuse to take away more rights and target specific groups and imprison them. Their dream is that everyone turns on each other and fundamentally reduces the surface population of the United States. Some factions have all but given up trying to take our guns away, instead they will let us keep them. They are positioning political factions to ramp up social chaos in order to foment anarchy and murder in this nation. I just pray it gets out of hand and they fall in the pit that they have dug, as it mentions in ancient prophecy. I do not advocate violence but God will repay. It is only a matter of time.

Therein lies the problem, the United States is not and was never supposed to be a democracy, even when at times it has been called so. In a democracy the mob or mayority rules.

In a democracy 51% of the people can take away the rights of the 49%. In the Republic of the United States, as it was formed by the founding fathers, EVERYONE including the minority have equal rights. The founding fathers knew the dangers of mob rule, which is why they included the ellectoral college in our voting process.

The socialist/communist mantra has ALWAYS been that they give power to the people, but they never do. They only give power to the STATE/Government, which is exactly what the left in the U.S. wants.

Did you not watch the videos I gave earlier? These people include regular business owners as "the top 1%" In their eyes ANYONE who owns ANYTHING is part of the top 1%.

They have already been sold, and the chess pieces are moving along very nicely.

The next thing that will happen, unless the American people wake up, is that more power will be given to the government/state, but instead of controlling the corporations, the changes that will take effect will be controlling the people even more, and taxing us even more...

What is happening today is the culmination of over 100 years of disinformation, and brainwashing of the American people, and the corruption in government which occurred thanks to the "progressives" starting in 1913.

At least watch the first one.

Good to see another person who actually can think for himself/herself. If only the same could be said of the mayority of people.

Our Official and Governing body is our General Assemblies and no declaration of allegiance to any political party has been declared and an overwhelming majority of participants see it this way which means it's law.

Majority rule meaning the People Of The USA and with the way most majority laws are dictated nationally are by a minimum 2/3 majority. The immediate attention items require a minimum of 80% and guess what we are a democracy as what is the purpose of The Congress? To be a rubber stamper to anything the banks or the corporations want? This paradigm is very real and is quite easily attainable but is best left untouched if at all possible. Fallback plans exist for a whole gauntlet of items. Voting itself, the core and principle item we have is a democratic process. Have you ever heard "Participate in The Republic Process"? No right so that is what's good. Try again,

The "51%" ruling is more widely seen in the corporate world and only in The US Senate when VPOTUS servers as President Of The United States Senate to cast a 51st yay vote for a particular piece of legislation.

Glad, but not surprised, that Jon Stewart sees through the MSM's bull# and instead focuses on the truth.

Colbert seems to get it too. Kinda funny how it's comedians who get it, yet the MSM completely fails at their job of being critical and showing journalistic integrity.


ask both of those buffoons about 9/11 and get ready to laugh. lol.

First off, it's really stupid to pontificate about representative government, and then whine about power in hte hands of the government... that is representing us... via votes... from voters. What, you don't see the disconnect? Right, I forget you guys think "government" is some sort of space alien.

Also, I'm not sure you understand what democracy is. Mob rule is indeed a form of it. So is our representative system. So is the parliamentary system in other nations. "Democracy" is a broad category, and to act smart and say "The US is not a democracy" just marks you as poorly-educated.



Did you not watch the videos I gave earlier? These people include regular business owners as "the top 1%" In their eyes ANYONE who owns ANYTHING is part of the top 1%.


Congratulations. you've managed to collect a handful of videos that center on a few ignorant individuals. Clearly they must represent the millions, right?


The next thing that will happen, unless the American people wake up, is that more power will be given to the government/state, but instead of controlling the corporations, the changes that will take effect will be controlling the people even more, and taxing us even more...


Ever considered - okay, this is rhetorical, I know you've never considered - that the American people have, in fact, awoken? That maybe it is you who are in a fogged stupor? I mean think about it here for a moment... We've got millions of Americans out there right now, as part of a movement for economic justice, an end to moneyed corruption of our system, and an end to corporate control of our nation. And they're "asleep" while you, who seem to have nothing better to do than sit here online and snivel about being an adult and paying taxes, are the one who is supposedly "awake"?

Yeah... no. Reality's not on your side in this, chubs.


What is happening today is the culmination of over 100 years of disinformation, and brainwashing of the American people, and the corruption in government which occurred thanks to the "progressives" starting in 1913.


Over a hundred years, starting ninety-eight years ago. I understand you're aiming more for "flamboyant rhetoric" than "fact" here, but you could at least try, man.

"Disinformation" and "brainwashing"? Citation, please? I'm sure I could counter it all with the John Birch BS that's clearly been hammered into your head.


Where did I say that I approve, or approved the bailouts, or what they have been doing?... HOwever, just because I dissapprove of them doesn't mean I am going to protest with leftwing organizations who want to give more power to the government because they claim "it will control the corporations"...


And there we have it. You claim to dislike the bailouts, but refuse to actually oppose them because "leftists" also oppose them.

Newsflash, buddy; government already has the power to control corporations. In fact, corporations as entities only exist at the whim of government - you DO know corporate charters are granted by government, right? It's simply refused to exercise this power. Nothing new is being asked for here. Just millions of Americans voicing their wish that government would exercise the power it has been vested with, over the petulant sniffles of people like you who will literally slit your own throats if someone told you it would be good for the profits of Chase or JP Morgan.

You can see all the hypocrisy you need right here!

You know why right wing sells at sights like this? Because its an easy crowed who wants to buy into something already.. Lets throw in some antigov propaganda they can buy up and soon we will have our own dictator.. No need to go to Libya or Iraq, we could have the best right here at home!

This place makes me sad, considering what this site claims to be about.

Occupy protests are protesting the powers in charge. The Fed, the Banks, Bernanke, the Economic Council, the Leadership of the country. Most of these are democrats not republicans.

It's what you DO with it that matters. of Jon Stewart makes a big pile of his millions and gives it a good humping before falling asleep on it at night, whatever gets him going, I don't care. if he uses it to buy legislation, then we have a problem.


The bolded is something that no matter how many times you repeat it to those against the OWS movement, they just don't understand. It's not a war against the wealthy people it's a war against the crooked INSANELY wealthy that pretty much make their own rules.

STewart is too funny.


That was truly hysterical.

Am I the only one who gets physically ill when I hear the talking point of "class warfare on the job creators"??

How much longer do these uber elite troopers think they can scam the American people?

Here's a secret.. We all know that the tax breaks and loopholes exist to enlarge bottom lines. We all really know you're not creating jobs. It's not that there's too much regulation or too many corporate taxes. It's not even that there's a secret Kenyan Commie progressive in the White House. You're not creating jobs because you don't invest back into economy. Yes. We know that Reaganomics is a scam.

Class warfare. That's a laugh. Where's Neo with the 50% don't pay their taxes bit? He already did it? Check. Right on qeue.


It's quite alright to take the country back. One must staple bags of Lipton to their forehead and recite revolutionary slogans for it to be acceptable though. Anything else is simply progressive Commie hippie horse^&$t.


Hypocrisy has reached its all time limit around here. Think I need another month break.

GL to all you unemployed. We understand it's not that you're lazy. You just have to babysit like Michelle Bachmann and ask Jesus to pay the electric bill like Rick Perry. Just get some Teabags and an Orly Taitz article. Things will become crystal clear. Just tune into Fox and blame the gays and the Kenyan agenda. It works for some apparently.


Oh and Neo,
We don't want to make Jon Stewart president. He is no one's God. Where do you get these hyperboles? I don't know. We just think his show is funny as hell and right on the ball most of the time. Cantor was wearing the same shirt for cryin out loud! How was that not funny? We also know Stewart has money. He alludes to it all the time. What separates him from the corporate douchers is that he condemns the tax code. That's why we laugh and applaud him. I don't know if he's sincere. Frankly I don't care. What I do care about is that he makes me laugh. That's his job.
