Anonymous to Occupy Wall Street and Create Megathread

[The Lone Alliance]

Again, I think this whole thing doesn't have much chance, but I love how the Right pundits and candidates are countering with "Get A job"...

Because they went to College to become Burger flippers right Cain?

You know after I got my college Degree I worked as a sacker at a grocery store and a planogram person at Target. You do what you got to do.

Anonymous is going to fail and i bet the main guys are sitting on their asses doing jack shit

I wish to know where they live so i can personally beat their asses down with a lead pipe

The inability of college educated young men to find job is exactly what's breeding terrorists overseas.

[Shofercia]

If I had kids, and my kids went to the protests - I'd send a "how to" guide, on best ways to run away from cops, to be more effective when protesting, what to say when arrested, how to get out of court, what to do during a protest, what to not do, etc. If it's a cause they believe in, and they're as stubborn as me, I know I won't stop them, so I'll help them

Not that I would ever be involved in college protests or running away from cops

Three people arrested at a tea party rally in Arizona.
Ten arrested here
this one with video.

Remember, those are all fringe members who do not represent the actual Tea Party. Now if they had been union members, those thugs would have represented ALL unions.

And of course a few loudmouths clearly represent all of Anonymous, and Anonymous represent all of the protesters.

Where did he say that they were?

[Beringovia]

If parents had seen me take part in this sort of protest while I was in college, they would have shaken their heads, and admonished me to be careful, but as long as I was doing my school work and getting good grades i would not have been cut off.

If I had a kid in college and know he/she were taking part in this protests, I would have him or her kidnapped and deprogramed.

Why would you have them brainwashed to support the status quo?

I may have exagerrated a bit, about the kidnapping part, but no I would not brainwash them. I would have them UNbrainwashed so as to realize that there is no free lunch. That wealth is created, not distributed. And that you if you attack the foundations of our economic system, you are undemining the very fabric of society.

I have no problem with people protesting for reform, but that isn't what these protests are about. It is basically composed of spoiled, entitle college kids who haven't had to work a day in their lives who like to wallow in their supposed moral superiority by challenging "the system" without bothering to offer a viable alternative. This "movement" has yet to make a single concrete dmand, but perhaps that is must any of them make a single concrete demand, but perhaps that would be too much to ask of a “horizontal, autonomous, leaderless, modified-consensus-based system with roots in anarchist thought.”

If you want to know the truth about this "movement," this pretty well sums it up: http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/ ... rich-lowry

Their are no "main guys" in Anonymous. It's a decentralized organization. If one member doesn't agree with the target they simply refuse to participate and if enough don't participate then Anonymous doesn't win. Targets such as Wall Street were clearly popular target as even some of the 1% is angry with them.

Also threatening them with violence won't work. The NYPD already has tried using police brutality to break up the protest and failed. Personally I hope they start fighting back whenever the police try this as it is illegal to attack a peaceful protester, especially when that protester has video proof that they were doing nothing wrong. Then again I know you are rich and have never worked a day in your life and you know your life is about to come falling down so you are angry.

Yeah no, nearly 45% of terrorists are college educated or in possession of useful skills. The belief that terrorism is caused by a lack of education is complete bull that no reputable authority would ever attach their name to today.

Sometimes what you got to do is overthrow the government.

What do you mean going to fail? Anonymous has a very small part in OWS, in any case. It has no main guys. It's decentralized.

That's a good attitude, beat those with whom you disagree. That will get things done.

Great, Steve Jobs is dead. Now the media's going to waste time putting out superficial talk about him whilst this movement dies out.

It's Iran and Michael Jackson all over again.

At Occupy Boston today, some of the anti-protesters started chanting "GET A JOB! GET A JOB!"

The crowd chanted back "WE WANT JOBS! WE WANT JOBS!"

And the thing is, a lot of people can't GET the McJobs. One of the biggest demographics in crisis is my generation, the kids who got BAs and Masters and even PhDs, and now can't get work...McJobs won't hire us, because we're overqualified. The jobs we were supposed to be aiming for aren't there. The jobs we were training for don't exist any more.

I have a PhD and I work for $15/hr, part time, with no benefits, and I consider myself lucky because I see what has happened to so many of my friends and peers. And then I feel sick to my stomach that it has come to this, that I am feeling lucky for making $5 hour more than I made when I was 15 years old and didn't have a high school diploma.

You do have all the Republicans praising Perry's so called Texas Miracle which if I remember the studies right the majority were McJobs.

“Declaration of the Occupation of New York City”

As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.

They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.

They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.

They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.

They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.

They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.

They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.

They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.

They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.

They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.

They have sold our privacy as a commodity.

They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press. They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.

They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.

They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them.

They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.

They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives or provide relief in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantial profit.

They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.

They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.

They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.

They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad. They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.

They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts. *

To the people of the world,

We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.

Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.

To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.

Join us and make your voices heard!

I was supporting his sarcasm with my sarcasm. If you read the statements in context, you'll note that they're both making fun of the major media outlet's use of single stupid individuals, in a pathetic attempt to discredit all of the protesters, by claiming that all protesters are alike, which is complete bullshit.
