>Occupy Wall St. – Who, What, Why?
Well folks, I’m at it again. Realizing that the “revolutionaries” occupying Wall Street had no common goals and no apparent organization, by listening to multiple interviewers elicit an olio of answers from them, I sat back and waited. Now, with muddied, muddled, waters clearing, I’m prepared to share my thoughts.
Susan Jones, in a post disseminated by CNSNews.com, writes that Occupy Wall St. protesters say they are “using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic” to achieve their goals, which vary from protester to protester, but generally include calls to tax the rich and spread the wealth. Following every interview with the protesters that I can, I understand why Ms. Jones claims their goals vary from protester to protester. These people, generally college students, are clueless idiots, being led by a very few Socialist and Communist organizers. If they believe they are following the Arab Spring tactics, they are even more clueless, since the revolutionaries in the Arab Spring knew exactly what their goals were, and these people don’t.
I listened as a newsman asked a protester what his goal was.
ans. – Our goal is to destroy Capitalism.
ques – Okay, and what will you replace it with?
ans. – A blank stare, a few seconds of stuttering, and silence.
Either he didn’t get around to thinking about that, yet, or the organizers forgot to tell him what to think.
On his radio program, Sean Hannity asked a young protester what she wanted.
ans. – To tax the rich more.
ques – Why?
ans. – They should pay their fair share.
Hannity went on to explain that the rich already pay the most taxes – by far – and half the people paid no income taxes at all. He then asked how much the rich should pay, as their fair share. She couldn’t figure out how much, but insisted they should pay “more”. This particular young lady was so clueless that Hannity kept her on for about 20 minutes, her answers showing how disorganized the whole Occupy Wall St. movement is – at least up to this point. I hear countless examples of these protesters giving lip service to cliched buzzwords and sound bites, and making senseless demands. When asked what they would do to make things better, what their ultimate goals are, or how the protests would improve the lot of the poor or create jobs, their Arab Spring becomes a Silent Spring.
The fact is that it wasn’t their idea in the first place. They were given a general idea of what to do, without specific goals, so people would dismiss them as harmless, and most folks have. But the hand of George Soros is in this, and nothing he orchestrates is harmless.
Now, the occupyers’ numbers are being bolstered by the addition of Union goons, and other professional organizers (SEIU is one of the original organizers, along with organizations controlled by George Soros, including the newly re-named ACORN groups). The original, clueless, kids that were coaxed to start the occupations around the Nation will be organized, and be given specific, uniform, goals to mouth. They will consider themselves brilliant thinkers and Patriots – because that is what the new organizers will tell them they are. What they really are is expendable fodder, for the real revolutionaries to use and throw away.
Having used the original protesters to show the movement is harmless and benign – so most people won’t worry – the Union heavies, and Socialist and Communist organizers will take over, and the real goal of these occupations will become manifest. It’s too soon to prove, but I believe it will be to riot and create chaos, so Obama will have an excuse to delay or cancel the elections and/or declare martial law. Socialist takeover complete, except for the fact that America has plenty of Patriots who will fight it.
Remember: It’s soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box, in that order.
