Watch out, 1%; the (Occupy) kids will be back
MSN Money ^ | December 22, 2011 | Paul B. Ferrell

Posted on 12/25/2011 6:15:28 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

Warning to America's superrich: Think Occupy Wall Street disappeared in winter's cold? Wrong: The 99% just declared a new aggressive, covert special-ops war strategy to take back our democracy in 2012.

No more peaceful tent encampments in parks. No more Mahatma Gandhi nice-guy stuff. Not enough. Escalation time. Wall Street, the superrich and their Washington lobbyists are tone deaf, blinded by greed, trapped in their post-2008 business-as-usual bubble.

Warning; OWS tells us America's going to be shocked by not one but hundreds of wake-up calls in 2012.

How? In a recent Washington Post column, OWS leaders say they are accelerating their battle strategy in 2012. In what amounts to a new declaration of war that promises to electrify the 2012 elections, OWS will be using new asymmetrical warfare strategies, write two of the men who have been the driving force behind the movement since early this year: Kalle Lasn, the editor-in-chief of Adbusters magazine, and senior editor Micah White.

Listen to some of the specific guerrilla tactics they warn will be used in their 2012 "American Spring" assault: A "marked escalation of surprise, playful, precision disruptions, rush-hour flash mobs, bank occupations, 'occupy squads' and edgy theatrics." And in a New Yorker magazine interview shortly after New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's "military-style operation," Lasn warned: "this means escalation, pushing us one step closer to a revolution."

This is different in one huge way.....OWS is in fact the US branch of what has been called the Global Culture of Resistance.

They are linked to movements in Europe, Latin America and the mis-east. They make supportive/learning missions at other protest event such as in Egypt. They want to tear down what is and replace it with a socialist chaos...

Here is a link to their nerve center...

A Bolshevik by any name smells the same.

I could be wrong, but I think most people have made the connection between OWS’ers and Democrats. If they have, then any shiat the OWS’ers raise will be put on the Dems.

You do not hunk these useful idiots will try any of this crap in any state with conceal carry laws? It is no coincidence that the knock out game is not played in our area. They give out a few hundred permits a week in our county, there must be tens of thousands of concealed carry permits not to mention shotguns in the vehicle. Nice thing about money it is portable and mostly electronic. Go ahead screw with brokers in NYC, Chicago, LA, there are plenty of brokerage firms in the South and we know how to deal with flash mobs.

Hopefully these nitwits will somehow be linked to Obama and help get him defeated

The Republicans should run ads that show the OWS crowd attacking police, spewing anti semetic slurs, trashing the area, defecating on police cars etc., interspersed with clips of Obama expressing his support for the movement, and Nancy Pelosi saying "God bless them." That's what the Republicans should do - but they won't.

Good.

Since they failed to dissociate themselves from the political left, their antics will only serve to further sour relations with normal Americans as we go into the general election season.

These are Øbozo’s people, doing Øbozo’s bidding.

Any bets they want to help cause the election year "crisis" that enables the regime to stack the deck?

Many will pooh-pooh the OWS crowd, but the actual organizers are professional radicals that will be there to incite anger and violence and anyone with conservative/patriotic values will be warned to keep hands off even as they become the targets. Might be Holder's last hurrah if he is still seated and his motivation will be to keep Obama in office to assure a pardon.

I think those who are poo pooing this as nothing to be concerned about are wrong. I started paying attention to this before the Day of Rage and what I read was very disconcerting. I think this has the potential to do exactly what they intend. I think there is big money behind it and the people pulling the strings know exactly what they’re doing.

Shouldn’t they be targeting Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Al Gore, Joe Biden, Warren Buffet, and the Clintons? The Obamas will be in the 1% soon if they aren’t already.

You are right...this is too internationally connected and too well funded to chump off as 1968 redux...

This article is enlightening...

http://nymag.com/news/politics/occupy-wall-street-2011-12/

The left has been working and waiting for the current confluence of factors to arise (internet, sat-phones, global financial crisis, arab uprisings, EU bankruptcies, obama). They want to change everything but they have no clear idea of what they want in its place....except a vaguely marxist chaos.
