More footage from Occupy Wall Street. A seemingly peaceful protest in NYC, is treated as a violent one, using police force and brutality to assert their control over #OccupyWallStreet.

I really have to say these protesters are NOT Patriots nor people wanting our Constitutional Republic back. These are Communists, Socialists, Greenies and the same ole Gov't protected, Gov't paid vandals who want to destroy whats left of our country and set off violence! Problem - reaction - solution = martial law and the final Act towards a New World Order tyranny based Police State.!

You are correct.

It's just another lefty tactic, to pretend they are going after the banks, when they are really demonstrating for social justice. the most annoying part, is that they have some conservatives foolishly supporting them, because they want to appear victims.

Quote:
An Internet-based social-change movement that views capitalism as a chief source of human suffering, October 2011 (O-2011) calls on the U.S. government to end all American economic policies “which foster a wealth divide”; to “tax the rich and corporations” at especially high rates for the purpose of diminishing the “significant disparities of wealth [that exist] between small numbers of extremely wealthy Americans and ... the 99% who do not have extreme wealth”; to create a single-payer healthcare system while expanding such programs as Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, and unemployment insurance; to “end corporate welfare” by eliminating tax credits for the oil and gas industries; to spend large sums of money on “creating jobs” rather than implement “spending cuts”; to guarantee the right of all working-age people to “a sustainable living wage, paid leave and economic protection”; to guarantee all U.S. residents a “publicly-funded” education “from pre-school through vocational training or university”; to use taxpayer funds to guarantee all Americans “the right to affordable and safe housing”; and to “end corporate influence over the political process” by banning corporate campaign contributions and establishing a publicly financed campaign system.


Encouraging its members and supporters to pursue “a culture of resistance,” O-2011 selected Washington, DC's Freedom Plaza as the site of its first major Call to Action, scheduled for October 6, 2011. This date was chosen because it marked the tenth anniversary of America's post-9/11 invasion of Afghanistan, and because it represented what O-2011 called “the beginning of the 2012 federal austerity budget”—a reference to a recently passed debt-ceiling bill designed to curb the United States' escalating national debt. Promoting the October 6 event as a “nonviolent resistance similar to the Arab Spring and the Midwest awakening,” O-2011 has pledged to “resist the corporate machine” and to “demand that America's resources be invested in human needs and environmental protection instead of war and exploitation.”

Sounds good until you dig a little deeper. Liberal intentions always sound good on the surface. We have to look beneath the surface to see what the real goals are.

Well the mask indicates this person is part of Anonymous. Anon members are made of up all age groups and their members are from all walks of life.

I heard that as well. Isn't it some 110 year old law? I thought I read that but could be wrong.

Keith Olbermann reported it to be a 160 year old law or something like that...

The streaming video was all faked and there was no protest.

Clearly someone wants us to believe these protests occurred as part of a disinformation campaign.

Thanks for telling us that. I never watched him on MSNBC but can't get his present channel so I guess I would have missed it.
