Proof! Wall Street protests no 'spontaneous uprising' Major demonstration directed by leftist
wnd ^ | 10/16/11 | Aaron Klein

A public relations firm closely partnered with the George Soros-funded Tides Foundation represented last week's anti-Wall Street march past millionaires' homes in New York, WND has learned.

Fenton Communications has been behind the public relations strategy of a who's who of far-left causes, organizations and activists, from Soros himself to Health Care for America Now to crafting strategies for MoveOn.org and a litany of anti-war groups.

Fenton, which works closely with Tides, first made its name representing communist dictatorships in the 1980s.

Fenton's founder is tied to President Obama and to a slew of Saul Alinsky-style community organizing groups directly involved in recent U.S. street protests, including in Wisconsin and New York.

Fenton's fingerprints on promoting and organizing the march bring further evidence suggesting the anti-Wall Street movement is a well-planned campaign and not the spontaneous uprising its leaders claim.

They finally realized that no one is impressed by that. Plus, the ones running things are also suffering capital drain in this political economy.

So, it looks as though many of them grabbed cardboard and markers and made signs. Probably called the Signs Working Group. Those signs are arranged on the ground at the occupied site. Protestors simply walk by and pick one up. When they are done, they put it back. Repeat the next time. Is it a coincidence that _all_ the signs are written on scrap cardboard?

However, they did put thousands into a 4-color broad sheet free newspaper.

Obama has sooo many scandals on his plate that Soros and Co. knew if this is played in the news everyday, then he (is) finished.... So they need a mass distraction........

Hmmmm. Possibly true.

It seems to me that the timing of this whole Occupy Wall Street Movement is just off - IMHO, they've launched it too early. One reason is that it could and probably will fall from the pages at some point just do to boredom. This would cause any favorable impact on the Obama election to be minimized. And those 'protesters' are very, very unlikely to be eating pizza and sleeping overnight in New York snowstorms. Better to launch this project in the Spring. As it is we are likely to see OWS I this fall and OWS II next spring. Not a good strategy.

So the idea that it was launched when it was to help hide Fast and Furious and Symbalta and other scandals on the horizon is not too far fetched.

despite the fact that they feel that they are among the biggest ‘do gooders’.

Not necessarily. A lot of them are simply sick in the head and would be on some other self-destructive mission if not the communist movement. Many are very angry, self-hating people who need any sort of outlet to express their anger and frustration (with themselves). One need look no further than Michael Moore or Ward Churchill to understand what I'm saying. Both are seriously angry and demented. There are many others in the movement just like them.
