This is what I'm talking about!

To say that OWS is apolitical is naive at best and outright lying at worst.

Their own words and they never lie.

Apolitical Right!.

Anyone ever wonder why such a peaceful and benevolent organization( ) such as ACORN has found the need to change its name countless times within the communities that it operates? Every time a rock gets turned over ACORN scrambles to hide under yet another rock. Who are they hiding from and what are they trying to conceal? They may not have founded OWS but they certainly have something to gain by taking the reigns to guide it.

The crime-infested community organization famous for voter registration fraud blames right-wing attacks for its demise as covert branches pop up under different names, allowing the original group to keep much of its public funding.

The Obama-backed Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has conveniently changed its name to shed its criminal history, but the scandal-plagued leftist group is still alive and quite active. ACORN, which annually rakes in millions of U.S. tax dollars, is hardly folding as the charity’s sympathy-seeking leaders claim.

So what’s an illicit enterprise to do? Assume a new identity to reignite the cash flow, both private and public. ACORN affiliates from coast-to-coast — including New York and California — have broken away and changed their names in order to dump the group’s crooked reputation.

With offices across the nation, the nonprofit has received tens of millions of tax dollars over the years despite its documented history of embezzlement, fraud and cooking the books. ACORN has been criminally prosecuted for voter registration fraud in various states and was exposed in a world-famous video for advising prostitutes and pimps on how to skirt housing and taxing laws.

ACORN lives on in the form of numerous state entities and in such affiliated organizations as Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA), The Advance Group, The Black Institute, and Project Vote. In the words of Bertha Lewis, former chief executive officer of ACORN, “… these entities are carrying on ACORN’s work of organizing low- and moderate-income folks… [We have created] bullet-proof community-organizing Frankensteins that they’re going to have a very hard time attacking.”
Tens of millions of dollars in ACORN’s funds and other assets are still unaccounted for. The Louisiana attorney general’s office and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, as well as Judicial Watch, continue to investigate what happened to these missing resources.

>li>Judicial Watch discovered that the Obama administration continues to bankroll ACORN and its affiliates in defiance of the federal government’s funding ban. For example, on March 1, 2011, ACORN Housing Corporation - renamed Affordable Housing Centers of America (though it retained the same headquarters and many of the ACORN officers) - received a $79,819 grant from the Obama Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has repeatedly
and deliberately engaged in systemic fraud. Both structurally and operationally, ACORN
hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal
conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a
partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate.

Emerging accounts of widespread deceit and corruption raise the need for a criminal
investigation of ACORN. By intentionally blurring the legal distinctions between 361
tax-exempt and non-exempt entities, ACORN diverts taxpayer and tax-exempt monies
into partisan political activities. Since 1994, more than $53 million in federal funds have
been pumped into ACORN, and under the Obama administration, ACORN stands to
receive a whopping $8.5 billion in available stimulus funds.

Operationally, ACORN is a shell game played in 120 cities, 43 states and the District of
Columbia through a complex structure designed to conceal illegal activities, to use
taxpayer and tax-exempt dollars for partisan political purposes, and to distract
investigators. Structurally, ACORN is a chess game in which senior management is
shielded from accountability by multiple layers of volunteers and compensated
employees who serve as pawns to take the fall for every bad act.

Maybe they are trying to use and recruit the Occupiers as members of Obama's Citizen Army or perhaps some of these brainwashed goons have climbed on board the OWS wagon as well. Obama's Organizing for America

The connections and possibilities are endless because Obama has been working and pandering to this crowd since his 2008 campaign.

It's been brought up in past threads around here. It just is not as relevant at the moment. It was last year when the Tea Party gained its momentum.

What we are seeing now is nothing like that at all. Not even close. If these Occupy events continue to escalate in ways that the true core OWSers never imagined. We are in trouble. Look at Oakland and the video footage of the black masked anarchist agitators working their magic. Did you see some of the real protesters trying to stop them when they attacked the Whole Foods Store? I did. People will only remember the violent stuff and nothing else. The rounds of kumbaya and hand holding will not be remembered. The acts of the agitators will and there are plenty of agitators working behind the scenes to take this movement to the next level. Their goal is to reach the tipping point. Bill Ayers and Lisa Fithian just to name a few with unfinished business from the Vietnam era. Andy Stern also.
