OWS Support Crumbling from Inside; "Look Up Hypocrite in the Dictionary, [edited]!"
Pundit Press ^ | 10/21/11 | Aurelius

Posted on 10/21/2011 7:03:22 AM PDT by therightliveswithus

With "Occupy Wall Street" now over one month old with no coherent plan or demands, it is not surprising that the movement is now faltering. However, the collapse is coming from a slightly unexpected source: inside the movement itself.

Already there are reports of rampant thievery and rape. More telling, however, is the in-fighting all over the Occupy Wall Street forum and another, separate website called "The Multitude."

Most stark is the fact that Occupy Wall Street says that it stands for Democracy, yet those with dissenting opinions are castigated and ridiculed, while being told that they "don't count." Take this comment, for example, on a thread entitled, Maybe OWS is not for me?:

Considering that these people supposed support the "99%," it is exceedingly hypocritical for them to only think a small gathering at the "head" of the group are the most important.

In a post entitled Profiting From Protesting, one person decried making money off of the protests, arguing that they should not both argue against capitalism yet make money off of it. One enraged OWS member angrily responded (obscenities blurred):

With "Occupy Wall Street" now over one month old with no coherent plan or demands, it is not surprising that the movement is now faltering.

The OWS Movement may well be faltering but the idea that they have "no coherent plan" is simply nonsense. Unfortunately that nonsense is repeated daily in the MSM and, sad to say, here at FR as well.

I suggest that anyone who continues to believe this MSM lie simply take a look at their candidate list of demands and plans for an OWS "National General Assembly" to be convened in Philadelphia on July 4th 2012 to finalize that list. They may well fail in all of this, I expect they will, but they have a very detailed plan and they are executing it quite well.

Here is the link to the The 99 Percent Declaration

Read it and you will start to understand.

It starts off good, and then deteriorates into all sorts of issues. By the time I got to forgiveness of student loans, they had lost me.

Yes, it does start off good. I assume they think they can pull in some Ron Paul and even some Tea Party support. I don't think that will work given the rest of the list that is basically your typical Marxist agenda.

It’s too bad they can’t just go with a few of the top items like stopping corporations funding politicians and term limits for congress critters.

Teaching postmodern thought, ie, relativism,
is simply another symptom of communists infiltrating our education system.

Thank God we have the internet, if we had it int he 60’s maybe more people would have seen the hippies for what they truly were and they would have been heckled back into the holes they crawled out of.

The more they stew in their own urine and feces, the sooner the flies will come, lay thier eggs, and the maggots will come out to consume the whole pile of filth.

You reminded me of the end of the mini-series "I Claudius"

Not to mention the people sneaking in tents to smell girls feet. The people getting arrested for exposing themselves to young girls.

Sounds like the cream of the intelligentsia have all shown up.

I am so glad that we have cell phone cameras and the internet this time around dealing with hippies because now we can see all the Dirt and Filth of these hippies, not the dirt and filth on their bodies but the sewage that also spews from their minds.
