Occupy Wall Street gone global

Alex Jones: “Focus should instead be on the real source of power for the out-of-control bankster class- the private, unaccountable Federal Reserve bank that creates money out of thin air, issues secret loans to insiders and foreign governments and systematically institutes debt on the American people through their undue powers.”




Republican candidate Herman Cain said this, "The proof is quite simply the bankers and the people on Wall Street didn't write these failed policies of the Obama administration. They didn't spend a trillion dollars that didn't work. The administration and the Democrats spent a trillion dollars," Cain said. Citing the president's new jobs bill, Cain added that the "administration is proposing another $450 billion wrapped in different rhetoric. So it's a distraction, so many people won't focus on the failed policies of this administration."




Cain is merely trying to politicize the unrest and claim them for his own, when it is clear for all to see by his statement he really doesn't understand what is going on (that is if he genuinely believes his own statement - in all likelihood he does not).


He also said, "We know that the unions and certain union-related organizations have been behind these protests that have gone on." Is he unaware that the movement has spread to several other countries? All the way to Honk Kong? It's hard to make the claim the unions are behind the protests in other countries. Come on, Herman, what kind of crack are you smoking these days? It must be something good....


Nancy Pelosi says she supports "the message to the establishment, whether it's Wall Street or the political establishment and the rest, that change has to happen." I'm sorry, Nancy, but the movement is against you too. You who are at the heart of the establishment. Why are the politicians trying to side with the movement when so clearly it is aimed at them? Because they see that the numbers are growing, the coverage of the event is growing, the movement is growing, its force and power are becoming undeniable.




Those in control of the banks Obama propped up as well as the executives of the car companies Obama backed are the real problem in this country, as is Obama himself. It is un-American for the government to rescue a failed business or several of them, to make them government owned companies. This is not the Soviet Union, this is not China, but I seriously doubt Obama sees any difference between the three.




The movement is also against the wars, which are increasingly expanded and protracted under the Obama administration. They are increasingly violent, killing civilians, women and children, with their drone strikes in countries other than Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya where we have wars the government refuses to acknowledge even though it is blatantly obvious that they exist. Why the need for secrecy about the existence of operations in certain countries? Surely it cannot put the United States at risk merely to say they are occupying a certain country, not to discuss what specifically they are doing there (though some accountability would be nice), but just to say they are there. The only reason to not admit to being in a country is because it is illegal; in defiance of the Geneva Conventions. Classification to conceal criminality.




Lastly, of the protests on Wall Street, Joseph Knippenberg said:


"I have no doubt that God is with the folks near Wall Street, but I doubt they've recognized Him yet."
