Many would like to portray the supposed #OccupyWallStreet movement as a spontaneous, grass roots effort.
Nothing can be further from the truth:
Billionaire financier George Soros’ fingerprints, for example, have been all over the anti-Wall Street campaign from the very beginning. And this week, the infamous hedge-fund boss publicly announced his sympathy for the protesters and their complaints about bailouts — despite the fact that he lobbied for even greater unconstitutional handouts to bankers in 2009.
“Actually I can understand their sentiment, frankly,” he told reporters while announcing a large donation to the United Nations. “I can sympathize with their grievances.”
But Soros’ support for the protesters goes far beyond his tepid public statements. In fact, the original call to “Occupy Wall Street” came from the magazine AdBusters, an “anti-consumerist” publication financed by, among other sources, the Soros-funded Tides Foundation.
And today, I received this email from Chris Browers of the Daily Kos:
Occupy Wall Street is spreading like wildfire. There are now supportive groups for the protests in over 250 communities in the United States and Canada.
Almost wherever you live, there is an Occupy Wall Street group near you. Many of these groups have already started their own local protests, while the others are planning upcoming events.
Daily Kos is joining with SEIU, the Service Employees International Union, to help grow this new movement of the 99%. We need to let the 1% know that we will no longer be silent in the face of the economic pain they continue to inflict on everyone else.
Please, pledge to join an Occupy Wall Street group near you. After you sign, you will be redirected to a comprehensive list of local groups.
Solidarity is beautiful,
Chris Bowers

Make no mistake about it, folks. The far left Soros sock puppets, under the direction of George Soros himself, have established a beach head. What was once ostensibly a grass roots effort are now the marshaled forces of Soros, SEIU, and other fellow travellers.
Much has been said by the usual suspects on the left of this country that #OccupyWallStreet people are just the leftward version of the TEA Party. But when did you ever see a TEA party demonstration in which its members provoked violent confrontations with law enforcement as a means of creating a propaganda opportunity?
And make no mistake–they mean to do violence. In fact, the violence is already occurring.
Note that President Obama has already signaled his not-so-tacit approval.
The ultra far whacko left of this country are making their stand, and have made their intentions known that they will resort to violence and outright revolution in order to meet their nefarious ends. Via Obama’s failings, they are seeing a living museum of the failure that is Keynesian economics and neo-socialism, and they are getting desperate. To borrow a coined phrase, they will not go quietly into that good night.
It is my contention that we are in the beginnings of an epic battle; a last-gasp fight for the very heart and soul of America that could very well evolve into the next civil war.
Be on watch, my friends. Be on watch.
It’s OK, neocon– I don’t expect Bodie to see past his own derangement here…
Can’t defend yourself against the facts, can you, Leo? No wonder you’re angry all the time.
Leo
yup
My, Bodie–but you ARE a typical neo-socialist– you’re a master at projection.
I’m just waiting for you to address the plain and simple facts, Leo. I’ll be waiting for a very, very long time, given your disdain of facts and love of paranoid hysteria. But you’re a good little winger in that regard: Easily wound up, easy to lead around by the nose, absolutely resistant to dealing with reality.
boobie
I’m just waiting for you to address the plain and simple facts,
EASY, you are an IDIOT.
