I have written about the expansion of the OWS……and the demands that have been on the website…..and the advice about those that would hijack the movement….and now I would like to pass on some of the criticism of the movement…..NO! I am not talking about the criticism from idiots that would not inform….but instead criticism that I have found from seasoned activists….
First we have the Repub leadership calling the protests a “MOB” and saying that they are killing our democracy by pitting American against American……..and of course there is the voice of the Right…FOX News…..they have been critical……so there is a critical outlook by some……to me there is NOTHING wrong with protests especially when politicians are not doing what we pay them to do….govern!
Please remember….these are NOT my criticism but those of others……below from an article written by Lee Rogers…….
Most of these useful idiots protesters know absolutely nothing about how the global financial system works and know less than nothing about the central banking systems of the world. Central banks like the Federal Reserve System and the European Central Bank have been setup by design to implement a debt based monetary system that has been used to turn the vast majority of people into debt slaves. They create money out of nothing and then charge interest on top of the money they create out of nothing through loans. Even the United States government borrows money from this system and because of that they have to implement draconian tax schemes on the people just so they can pay back the interest on the debt.
What’s ironic about this whole situation is that a central banking system is in fact a major plank of the Communist Manifesto as is a graduated income tax both of which have been fully implemented in the United States for almost 100 years now. With this in mind you would think that these Communist protesters would have nothing to protest because the ideologies which they claim to be in support of have actually been in use for a very long time. Unfortunately because these people are so ignorant and stupid they have no idea that the ideologies they are promoting are the very cause of the problems they are suffering from.
The protesters are at least correct about one thing and that’s the fact that the big banks and brokerage firms on Wall Street are certainly part of the problem. Many of these organizations in a real free market system would be out of business if it wasn’t for the bailouts they received back in 2008. The only reason they are still in existence is because of their insider links to the highest levels within both the Federal Reserve System and the United States government. The fact that these organizations get multi-billion dollar bailouts is proof that we do not operate in a true free market system and is the reason why power and wealth has been centralized in the hands of fewer and fewer people. Small and medium sized business would never receive bailouts even a fraction the size of the bailouts these high profile banking interests received and this fact alone shows that we are in the midst of a predatory monopolist economic system that favors the few and not the many.
It is unfortunate that these protesters are entirely off base as to what the main problem is and also entirely off base as to what the real solution to the problem is. The real problem is the phony debt based money that originates from the Federal Reserve System which allows these powerful insiders to manipulate the economy and bailout their buddies if they get in trouble. An institution that sets rules as to how money is created and dumped into the economy should be at the very center of this debate and it is laughable that these protesters don’t even consider it an important issue. The real solution does not exist within collectivist ideologies but instead exists within true free market principles and within a monetary system not based around centralized control and debt. Unfortunately, convincing these useful idiots of these principles may prove to be next to impossible.
Once again….do not shoot the messenger….I am just passing on what others see as some short falls in the movement…….to me…the whole Fed Reserve thing has the smell of a Libertarian thought……what do you think?
I believe that a lack of specifics means that all the protesters see the same thing…unfairness in the political system…..no matter what bitches they may have individual….they want the government returned to the people where it is suppose to be and out of the hands of special interests…..Just my thought.
I cannot close without mentioning another critic of the OWS movement…he is everyone’s favorite bobble head……..a man that knows no bounds when he opens his mouth….my hero and yours….Glenn Beck…..
“Capitalists, if you think that you can play footsies with these people, you’re wrong. They will come for you and drag you into the streets and kill you…they’re Marxist radicals…these guys are worse than Robespierre from the French Revolution…they’ll kill everybody.”
I too am concerned….I mean all those crazies with their guns at these protests…….OH CRAP!…..that was last year and it was the Tea Party….Never mind!
Ahhh, fuck that fool who wrote that first criticism. We tried free market principles – at least as much as human nature would allow – and we ended up with serfdom!!!!!!
Damn that fool to the pitiful existence he already lives, and fuck that unimportant, inconsequential, irrelevant idiot Glenn Beck.
Damn this post of yours pissed me right the fuck off…
Sorry but geeeez.
Terrance…..no need to apologize…..it pissed me off too and I wanted my readers to see what some are saying……the only free market is the drug trade…..is that what all this cretins want?
Do you understand where I’m coming from, though? We can have only as free of a market as human nature will allow, and each time its been tried in as pure of form as possible, it has produced nothing but utter squalor and made many of people indentured servants.
It’s a sham! It’s a fraud!
Terrance, yes I understand your confusion…..a free market is without regulation and when we get close to it we have a depression and most recently a massive recession……capitalism is not a humane system…….it could be if greed could be eliminated and we know that that will never happen…..
We even know Glenn Beck in Denmark and not for the good.He’s a travesty,but a dangerous one.Btw,I support OWS,’cause something has gone terribly wrong in America,and who are the best to speak up,if not the people!
Hello Robert and it is great to have a reader from Denmark……I agree the people is where the power should always rest……I just hope that the weather does not deter them…..
He hits critical points but his condemnation of the protesters is a rant, not an insightful analysis.
Larry so true….I just hope everyone realizes that I am only reporting what is being said……he sounds like a Libertarian plant…all the rage over the Fed typical Libertarian rant….
I was getting more and more pissed each time the author used “useful idiots.” I kept thinking that a “useful idiot” is one that votes for the interest of the 1% and not themselves. 😡
Spinny, now you see why I had to post it…..we need to read what morons have to say…….
I love your Blog, it’s nice when you can tell somebody actuallly puts effort into a blog, and gives the blogs value.
Okay it is most likely spam…but we all need an ego fix from time to time……this is mine for awhile…LOL
