Days of Rage, Hours of Opportunism
Sunday, 02 October 2011 07:06 Daniel Greenfield
"The last time I passed the Days of Rage protesters in downtown Manhattan, amid their litter of expensive camping equipment, iPhone chargers, mobile hotspots and handwritten cardboard signs, they reminded me of people who walk up to you in bars pretending that they just discovered a new brand of beer they want to share with you. Those people are plants, so are the people with torn cardboard signs surrounded by a few thousand dollars of equipment.
There are people who have reason to be enraged at Wall Street, but they rarely show up at rallies. They are too busy working a second job in their seventies or sitting outside a factory that was shipped off to China. And the people who do show up at rallies invariably have nothing to do with Wall Street and are financed by billionaires who made their money, directly or indirectly, in the stock market.
The paradox of Wall Street financed radicals protesting against the Street makes as much sense as a dose of class warfare from Warren Buffett. But the Street is a devious place, which makes money by betting against itself, and whose favorite politicians denounce it around election time. The cynical game of broken expectations is played here like nowhere else and the entire economy is on the table.
Obama poured money into Wall Street before denouncing it, and like Kerry, he was against Wall Street, before he was for it, before he was against it. At luncheons in exclusive restaurants, his allies are still explaining to hedge fund managers that Barry doesn't really mean it. He's just trying to get elected.
Democrats sometimes like to take off their Harvard jackets, loosen their club ties and try on a little populism, but it never sticks. They're always against NAFTA, before they're elected, and for it once they do. At towns with the rusted steel of lost manufacturing, they pledge to stand up for American industry, and then fly off to a fundraiser thrown by the outsourcing firms who have the actual money.
The belated crusade against Wall Street is even more pathetic as it is coordinated by groups who wouldn't exist without men like Soros, who made their money from deals that make the Street look sparkling clean. It's class warfare as a cynical jab at the populist center, the people who mutter to themselves that the Street is full of crooks and so is Congress.
They're right and the Days of Rage protesters, who usually have a trust fund at their back and a degree in creative arts on their shelf, would never admit it. They're not here to protest against power, but for those in power. Or else why target Wall Street now, long after the bailouts and the fizzing outrage over Corporate Personhood.
The Days of Rage are an Obama election rally, coordinated ahead of time to coincide with Obama's own descent into class warfare. Which makes them a pro-government rally.
The yuppie ragers may try for comparisons to Tahrir Square, but they're more like if Mubarak had thrown a rally blaming the whole thing on international bankers. It's equally pathetic and desperate. And if the media had any credibility or ethics left, they would be doing something other than covering a disguised election rally as if it were the new Battle of Seattle."

Oh, she's dead serious. WHo wants to wager that Rosanne Barr's personal wealth is somewhere around the ballpark of $99.9M?
Roseanne: Rich Should Be Beheaded If They Don't Give Up Wealth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiLxGPFtDAA#)
“I do say that I am in favor of the return of the guillotine and that is for the worst of the worst of the guilty.
“I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the ability to pay back anything over $100 million [of] personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of $100 million. And if they are unable to live on that amount of that amount then they should, you know, go to the reeducation camps and if that doesn’t help, then being beheaded,” Barr said with a straight face."
As Ed said at HotAir, "Imagine if anyone had said anything remotely like this at a Tea Party rally about socialism and socialists, even in jest."
Imagine. Again, I point to A Deadly Double Standard". (http://itsaboutliberty.com/index.php?topic=339.0")

Never understate what a teachable moment that Carleton retard represented. The boy was literally raging against the bank taking away his parents McMansion. Literally saying that just because you have a worthless degree or two, it is society's responsibility to provide you with a half million dollar house.

As an aside, when we look back through the comfortable detachment of history at truly awful events, like the blood-orgy of the derailed French Revolution, the rise of fascism, or more recently the "cultural reformation" in Mao's China and the killing fields of Cambodia, we tend to wonder, how could such events get off the ground in the first place? Well the answer is that people like Roseanne, herself rich, have already in their own minds dehumanized certain people. What follows occurs with the approval of their own consciences, and that is how all atrocities begin. The only missing ingredient now is the breakdown of basic day-to-day order, and that can't be too far behind, especially since people such as these professional malcontents are doing everything they can to make sure of it.
I have news for people like Roseanne and all these Marxist grubs: I've been doing my own bit of mental dehumanizing.

Gimme my sh*t!
This attitude is prevalent at all economic levels.
My husband and I noticed this a couple decades back when house hunting. No one wanted a "starter" house any more. Friends of ours were buying houses the kind my parents and their friends saved for decades to buy (if they even did buy up). They wanted to live the same lifestyle they had as children. No saving and sacrificing for them!
Our agent would take us to developments in our price range and they would small houses designed to look like huge houses. The master bedroom and bathroom would be huge and the kids rooms would be tiny. The kitchen would be huge and the other rooms would be miniscule. We just wanted a normal house to raise a family in and not make a statement of our worth real or imagined. But many of our friends were buying "real" mansions not these little wannabes. We couldn't figure out where the money was coming from. Sometimes in our young married life I wondered what are we doing wrong? Then we found out many of them were carrying credit card balances and borrowing from family.
We finally found an older home with property. We love it. It's pretty unassuming and not very impressive. I know by the looks some friends/family think we're not as "rich" as them. That's ok by me.

The problem with people like this woman is they don't know any history so while she thinks she's on the cutting edge of the special few who "get it" she will end up just like the people who thought that at the start of the french revolution ::guillotine::

Daily Bell Helps Blow Up Wall Street Protest Via Drudge, Prison Planet and Google
Monday, 03 October 2011 17:19 Right Side News
"Despite their honest intentions, many of the Occupy Wall Street protesters are being suckered into a trap and calling for the very "solutions" that are part of the financial elite's agenda to torpedo the American middle class – higher taxes and more big government. – Prison Planet lede via Drudge Report
Dominant Social Theme: It's all Wall Street's fault. Government needs to write the wrongs of capitalism.
Free-Market Analysis: Has Internet alternative news come of age? Is the Internet Reformation gathering power like a gale force wind? Just as it was during the era of the Gutenberg Press 500 years ago, the change-making of information technology is implacably turning the elite power-conversation upside down.
The latest evidence is in, thanks to Prison Planet, the Drudge Report and Google (see article excerpt above). The Internet is a great echo chamber, What has now been stated on websites such as Drudge, which reaches tens of millions, will resonate with increasing vitality on Google and elsewhere and give rise to yet further evolutions of truth telling. The human hive mind is at work. It is unstoppable. The elites, so powerful in the 20th century, are seemingly on the wrong side of history in the 21st.
In fact, history is not dead but very much alive. Its new paradigm is evident for those who care to look. It is one, as we have often pointed out, featuring a conflict between information technology and elite dominant social themes that seek to push middle classes into surrendering power and wealth to globalist institutions that they themselves control (UN, WHO IMF, BIS, etc.)
Within this context, DB's elves and affiliated others are honored to have played a small role. Yesterday, Anthony Wile's editorial "Blaming Wall Street Is Wrong" was used, in part, as a basis for a story written by Paul Joseph Watson of Infowars and Prison Planet and then featured as the "lede" on the Drudge Report, which sets the news agenda for the West's major, mainstream media.
The proximate cause of the Infowars article, as well, was a video by journalist Adam Kokesh who interviewed protesters in Washington DC and showed clearly the fascist ideology that motivates the so-called "left." Kokesh is a libertarian activist and talk radio host who is perhaps best known for organizing "dance ins" at the Thomas Jefferson monument in Washington DC after the US judiciary banned such activities. He's a former United States Marine Corps Corporal and veteran of the Iraq War."

It began in New York. It has spread to 500 American cities, and counting. And today, it comes to Houston.
While the mainstream media scrambles to try to get the country to dismiss this rising tide as a rag-tag bunch of hippies and lazy students, there are others who are watching, listening, and finding the courage to ask the question, “What’s going on, here?”
Moments like this one are sacred moments in the civic and spiritual life in our country.

The overlap in funding along with organizing personnel is staggering. Reminds me of the Soviet military parades from the late fifties and early sixties when the same piece of hardware was driven around the block again and again so as to give the false impression of multitude of it.
Is there any difference in what we're seeing today?

Our esteemed local news did a story today on the protest started in Nashville. I swear, there may have been 10-20 people, but they got coverage. To be fair, they showed "the other side", which was two guys protesting the wall street protestors.
Couple of us were talking about it today, actually laughing at the make shift signs trumpeting "corporations" ruling the gov't. Hell, If my corp ran the gov't, there would be no EPA, dept of education, dept of energy.....gov't would actually be off the peoples backs. You'd think the wall street protestors could figure that out, but they are too busy taking the money from the unions, who ironically in the obama world, hold much more power over gov't officials....or gov't.
Not to mention the gov't control of corps, such as GM and gov't control of banks and insurance.
Another theory we kicked around is obama will include each protestor as a job created, lowering the unemployment rate.
