Occupiers incorruptible
Regarding the Occupy movement: To come to some sort of understanding, one must first and foremost know that the core “occupiers” are acting as individuals. They have no leaders, lieutenants or central organization and (most) reject all notions of such. They are an experienced, formidable and incorruptible social force. The tea partyers should take notes on how not to have your movement hijacked and controlled by the very entities and policies that you protest.
I heard on the Michael Savage show how the protesters are “anti-Jewish” in nature, and today I heard Eric Cantor say the protests are an “attack on freedom.” Once I hear an official say the protests are “anti-feminist” in nature, I win a $5 bet made with the prediction that the entrenched powers will say anything, however ridiculous, to prevent the uniting of the people.
“Divide and conquer,” as the Republican and Democratic factions of the fascist party like to play. I’m not fooled.
