First of all, I sincerely doubt this movement is leaderless. In all likelihood, they don't it revealed it's being sponsored by card-carrying socialists.
Additionally, there were warnings unions would throw their weight behind this. The same groups who professed to back the police unions in OH and WI are now against them in NYC.
Whoda thunk it...?
Anyone with sense.
PROTEST THE GOV’T YOU STUPID BASTARDS. PROTEST THE CAUSE NOT THE EFFECT.
Yeah, they marched on NYPD HQ, exceptvthat they didnt even get close because they actually ended up in front of the district attorney ‘s office, not the NYPDs.

It’s no surprise that the Unions mentioned got behind this, because these protestors started as being as spontaneous as the Tea party, but not even remotely as together as far as having a well thought out perspective. There’s a rather wide spectrum of people involved in this, not all of them on the Left, some nearly as apolitical as the early Tea party ranks. They seem easy pickin’s for organization and exploitation by Unions desperate for their own mini-Tea Party masses. Some of them are bound to fall away from the protests once they come to see this. It didn’t help the cause in the public eye that would-be exploiters like Michael Moore stopped by for support before the Unions.
But it DID help their cause when the pointlessly brutal handling by the NYPD was made visible for all to see on Youtube. Surrounding a group of women peacefully protesting (and they were)with a plastic fence “pen”, then spraying them directly in the face with Mace? Big tough guys. It was pathetic, and it made my blood boil.
Those bailouts were necessitated by the Community Reinvestment Act, the work of Carter and Clinton, and by corruption at Fannie Mae, courtesy of the Congressional Black Caucus, Barney Frank, and the rest.
But note that they are still blaming it on Bush (2008), and that the Prostitute Media is going along with it.
Just before the election, the manipulators arranged to have that financial crisis, which made Bush and McCain look like fools and ensured the election of Obama. Curiously, one of the few things Obama ever did as a lawyer in Chicago was to sue the banks for not making enough loans under CRA.
Wall Street was largely controlled by Democrat contributors, and a few RINO contributors, while this crisis was building. But of course the agitators will blame it on the Republicans, and the press will happily spread their propaganda.
In fairness, it must be said that Bush was economically irresponsible, spent like a Democrat, and did little or nothing to stop all the pork from piling up on both sides of the aisle. But the Democrats are at the heart of it, and the RINOs merely play along with them. But no fear; it was all due to Bush's mean bank bailout of 2008 and the Republican elitists of Wall Street. That's their story, and they're sticking to it. And regretably nobody in the Republican leadership has done much of anything to show them up or fight it.
Long Live the Revolution Comrades!!!

"Gleeful about the raging riots that held England captive this week, the tweet has gone out to activists and ‘disaffected’ youth to “occupy wall street Sept 17” today. Social Networks FaceBook and Twitter are abuzz with plans for coming anarchy on U.S. soil.
The Days of Rage will continue beyond the ‘occupation’ of Wall Street with activists being told “bring your tent”.

The original "Day(s) of Rage"
Days of Rage riots (1969)
The Days of Rage riots in Chicago took place over a 4-day period beginning October 8, 1969, after members of the Weathermen, a militant offshoot of the Students for a Democratic Society, converged on the city to confront police in the streets in response to the trial of the group of anti-Vietnam War activists known as the "Chicago Eight".

Exclusive: Bill Ayers Talks About Election Night in Grant Park
From NBC Chicago, Jan 21, 2009:
Bill Ayers was "overflowing with happiness, relief, love" when he and his wife went to Grant Park with tens of thousands of Chicagoans to celebrate the election of President Barack Obama.
Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, spoke exclusively with NBC Chicago's Dick Johnson about why they joined the Election Night celebration in the park, where 40 years before they helped stage the Days of Rage riots.
The couple said they got last-minute tickets from a friend to be in Grant Park that night.
"I couldn't stop crying a couple of times. I found the exact spot where I was beaten 40 years ago," Ayers said. "But I've never been in a crowd that large that wasn't edged with either anger or drunkenness or gluttony, and it was really an extraordinary feeling."

"The raised fist (also known as the clenched fist) is a salute and logo most often used by left-wing activists, such as: Marxists, anarchists, socialists, communists, pacifists, trade unionists, and black nationalists. The raised fist is usually regarded as an expression of solidarity, strength or defiance."

Anarcho-syndicalism
A common Anarcho-Syndicalist flag.
In the early 20th century, anarcho-syndicalism arose as a distinct school of thought within anarchism.[78] With greater focus on the labour movement than previous forms of anarchism, syndicalism posits radical trade unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the state with a new society, democratically self-managed by the workers.
Anarcho-syndicalists seek to abolish the wage system and private ownership of the means of production, which they believe lead to class divisions. Important principles include workers' solidarity, direct action (such as general strikes and workplace recuperations), and workers' self-management. This is compatible with other branches of anarchism, and anarcho-syndicalists often subscribe to anarchist communist or collectivist anarchist economic systems.[79] Its advocates propose labour organization as a means to create the foundations of a non-hierarchical anarchist society within the current system and bring about social revolution.

Revolutionary ferment in Greece – a taste of what is to come for the whole of Europe
http://www.marxist.com/revolutionary-ferment-greece-taste-for-europe.htm
___________________________________________________________
I was watching Bill O’Reilly last night. He did a segment where they interviewed some of the protestors. One guy they interviewed said that he quit his job so he could join the protest and demand that the government do something to give people jobs. Figure that one out!
Ewwwwwww. In photos and on TV, some of those chicks need to keep their arms down or take a razor to their armpits.
All of the 9-11/DHS/terrorist $$$ NYC got, and the best the police can do is a few pepper-spray spritzs?
Where’s the tank they bought?
The protest encampment in Zuccotti Park in downtown Manhattan is festooned with placards and anti-Wall Street slogans. There is a makeshift kitchen and library, and celebrities from filmmaker Michael Moore to actress Susan Sarandon have stopped by to show solidarity.
Hannity sent one of his reporters to the area to do a story. Surprise! The strongest smells were sweat and urine. Even though the protest and encampment are headquartered in a private park, NYC has to have public sanitation regualations that apply to public and private campgrounds. As usual, these filthy hippies are creating a menace to public health and sanitation by the way they're running their operation, especially if one contrasts it with the very clean way even the largest (>1,000,000 people in DC on 9/12/09) Tea Parties are run.
The NYC Sanitation Department ought to close the camp down as a menace to public health. Then the city should follow it up by prohibiting overnight camping in the Financial Distict, except on the premises of private homes and then only with adequate sanitation. I also suspect the makeshift kitchen doesn't comply with NYC sanitation regulations.
here’s the link to the original story from the NYDN:
check out the machine printed signs- wonder if soros is bankrolling these d-bags as well...

Here's hoping some low temperature records will be broken in NYC this winter. ;-)
