I have no doubt someone is behind these groups. Spontaneous is a small group in one city. They are too coordinated to not have some financial and logistical support from someone. The majority of these protesters, and I have met liberal protesters, are as dumb as rocks. They follow instructions and scripts from someone.
Soros the billionaire funding
Van Jones multi millionaire running it
This is all a a Jessie Jackson extortion shake down
Obama got more money off wall street than the right but we all know they are not giving any where near as much this time around and are sitting on profits .
Obama needs a billionaire and is not getting it
so what do they do.
They get all the lefty groups to protest against wall street and on the side they say to wall street give us money for next year or these protests continue.
I gurantee you that this is all a big shake down and they’re using the left wing fool who are just too dumb again to understand this.
Look we have anti war, green energy, code ink, homo rights, women rights, against death penalty etc all these groups are not in agreement but all of a sudden they all come together and collect their pre made signs while Van Jones has been saying this would happen in the last two months.
Wall street has always given more to the left so why would they protest their biggest money givers
The protesters are too stupid to figure this out and that it is a man who is funding this who made billions on the market and gives millions to the left.
This is all an extortion racket and as soon as wall street gives money the demo stops .
Unions do this all the time
Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton does this all the time
This is so obvious
sorry meant to say zero needs a billion for his election not billionaire as he already has a couple of them
Actually, it is not necessary to have a lot of orchestration, though modern social media make it a lot easier.
Liberal protests draw protestors. They need not be in agreement with one another, they have solidarity in their common hatred of “the Man” which keeps them going.
I have been to many human rights festivals or other such events, and noticed the general hodgepodge of complaints merely looking for a place to let it out.
An exception to this would be the protests I observed over the first gulf war, though I could not help noticing, and asking about, the fact that the general appearance of the protestors in question was one of hatred, not peacefulness.
I observed a rally to commemorate the holocaust that exemplified this. Every Tom, Dick, and Suzy with a chip on the shoulder got up to complain about his or her particular grievance - they were legion - with no particular thing holding them together other than the chance to vent their anger.
The actual holocaust survivor who spoke had actually been there and done that when it came to being a victim, but he exuded peace and acceptance and determination that the wannabees who rode on his coat-tails could not begin to fathom, much less emulate, as they did not have it in themselves in the first place.
I have wandered a bit - my point was that the majority of protestors I have known are angry people looking for any excuse to get together and make a fuss; they may be easily manipulated because of this, but it doesn’t require a lot of coordination and support, or even a common cause to bring them together - they just need a reason to go there, see and be seen. There are orchestrators, no doubt, you can easily identify them, but most of the time j random protestor is a pretty unaware kid being led about and not even realizing it.
What disturbs me more than the “hippies” getting involved are the unions.
