The communist's & kids are just plants of Soros.
Real people with real concerns about crony capitalisim, banker bailouts and a criminal government - well they never get heard or reported on. The whole movement was hijacked....for now anyway.
Peace

Soros couldn't Hijack what he already owned. The origins of the call for OWS in August and September are hard to miss and it never had a chance of independence, in some ways. TPM is much the same for only slightly different reasons.
What matters though...and ALL that matters in the end...95% of the actual people in OWS/Occupy or TPM weren't getting paid squat by anyone, let alone co-opted. Sold out is the term, not co-opted. That keeps suggesting that protesters got anything but screwed in the end.
WHY that matters is 95% of the people can come BACK together if they realize they didn't really need the flashy organizers to do this..and sure don't need them to do it RIGHT for Part 2...that goes for both sides. 2012 can be a turning point to better years to come or it can be a deep tragedy. It's really up to us all out here....each with our own decisions to make.edit on 26-12-2011 by Wrabbit2000 because: (no reason given)

Agreed on adbusters...but if one thinks back, it wasn't just the polished ads they put out ahead of time calling for a protest with a tent in lower Manhattan. Anonymous and affiliated groups were also calling for the same thing and simply leaving off any formal name for the movement to come.
There were a lot of players with agendas involved with the initial pushing to form Occupy......but they did it and we, the people, learned.
WE can do it again and do it without all those cooks in the kitchen screwing up a jelly sandwich.
It's just my thinking...but I think we all learned more than enough to reform and do it from the center outward into both sides of 'the people' out here in normal America.

It really gets tiring watching you call everybody who disagrees with OWS a troll. Living out of the basement no less. Well guess what, no basements where I live. You need to grow up about this and realize that people just have opinions. Maybe you are the one in your parent's basement and just projecting that out to people you don't know and have no clue about.

To the anti-OWSers that would be so happy for everyone to go back home and go back to sleep,
What are you doing to improve your neighborhood/suburb/city/country?
You all seem to have a go at the protesters for "having no answers", so what are your answers? What are you doing to promote your answers? What are you doing to try and effect change?
You are either happy with the current climate or not? If not, why are you not doing anything to try and change things?
If you are doing something, what are you doing?
What are your proposals for moving your country forward and how do you propose to go about creating change via "proper" methods?
Cheers
