    Occupy Wall Street Protesters Call For Totalitarian Government, Re-Election Of Obama

    Occupy Wall Street Protesters Call For Totalitarian Government, Re-Election Of Obama

    There is something very wrong with this picture

    Despite their honest intentions, many of the Occupy Wall Street protesters are being suckered into a trap and calling for the very “solutions” that are part of the financial elite’s agenda to torpedo the American middle class – higher taxes and more big government.

    Watch the clip below in which journalist Adam Kokesh talks to Occupy Wall Street protesters.

    The ignorance displayed in these interviews knows no bounds. The protesters just don’t get it. They are calling for the government to use force to impose their ideas, all in the name of bringing down corporations who they don’t realize have completely bought off government regulators.

    Corporations and government enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship – getting one to regulate the other is asinine and only hurts smaller businesses who are legitimately trying to compete in a free market economy that barely exists.

    The zeal for totalitarian government amongst some of the “protesters” is shocking. One sign being carried around read, “A government is an entity which holds the monopolistic right to initiate force,” which seems a little ironic when protesters complain about being physically assaulted by police in the same breath.

    One woman interviewed by Kokesh also announces her intention to help Obama to capture a second term.
    How can a self-proclaimed Occupy Wall Street protester simultaneously support the man whose 2008 campaign was bankrolled by Wall Street, whose 2012 campaign is reliant on Wall Street to an even greater extent, and whose cabinet was filled with Wall Street operatives?

    Something is very wrong with this picture.

    The usual suspects, mega-rich foundations and elitists, behind the young radicals have also started to emerge – George Soros, The Ruckus Society, the Tides Foundation and the Ford Foundation.

    “The belated crusade against Wall Street is even more pathetic as it is coordinated by groups who wouldn’t exist without men like Soros, who made their money from deals that make the Street look sparkling clean.

    It’s class warfare as a cynical jab at the populist center, the people who mutter to themselves that the Street is full of crooks and so is Congress,” writes Daniel Greenfield.

    The thousands of Americans currently expressing their disgust at Wall Street and the bankers who have ruined the economy to the detriment of the poor and middle class should be commended for getting off their hind ends and doing something, unlike the millions who will continue to watch American Idol, drink beer and laugh in ignorance as the country is flushed down the toilet.

    It should also be added that there is a sprinkling of “End the Fed” demonstrators who truly understand the root cause of the problem.

    However, the fact that the majority of the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators are advocating “solutions” which the very elite they claim to be protesting against also want should set alarm bells ringing.

    The official Occupy Wall Street website vehemently supports Obama’s tax agenda, again in the deluded belief that Obama, the ultimate Wall Street puppet, genuinely wants to go after big corporations who use loopholes to avoid paying income tax.

    In calling for higher taxes on the middle class, the protesters are mimicking the likes of billionaire Warren Buffet. The top corporations pay virtually zero income tax because of loopholes that they have crafted in league with bought off government regulators.

    Obama’s tax hikes will only impact genuine middle class businesses and middle class Americans earning over $200,000 – with the rate of inflation as it is this can hardly be described as the “super rich”.

    As Anthony Wile writes, the protesters are being completely misdirected by their socialist/communist leaders. The real center of financial control is the Federal Reserve and the city of London, and yet ideologue Michael Moore said earlier this week that “ending capitalism” was more important than dealing with the Fed.

    Wile notes that the protesters seem obsessed with those who conduct financial transactions, not those who actually run global central banks, the real string pullers.

    “To get at the root of the problem, one should be protesting, say, in London’s City where central banking originated. Or protesting in front of the Federal Reserve in Washington DC.

    These are real seats of power. But the shadowy and excessively powerful and wealthy individuals who have created the modern economic system are quite satisfied no doubt to have Wall Street take the blame. It suits their purposes,” writes Wile.

    “It is too bad that the Occupy Wall Street movement seems to be obscuring the larger issues by apparently blaming the private (transactional) sector in entirety for what has occurred in the past few years.”
    Intel Hub Note: This report is completely correct but it should also be noted that some protesters are End the Fed and Ron Paul supporters.

    As Jones reported on his special broadcast today, “There are a lot of good people involved in this occupy wall street movement, wall street IS the problem.

    But you have to ask yourself, who is organizing the Occupy Wall Street movement?

    George Soros and White House linked operatives!

    YOU CAN'T COLOR IT WITH ONE TOUCH BUT THE POINT IS THAT THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST, THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, and CNN, are giving this mass attention but they do not cover End the Fed rallies…. they are all scripted with a Democratic party type operative who says mindless slogans that are then mindlessly repeated by the protesters.”

    The first thing that is wrong with this picture is Adam Kokesh.

    Adam Kokesh is not a journalist. He is arguing a point of view, and several times asks questions that are in fact disguised statements of opinion without allowing the person he is "interviewing" to answer. Actually I was quite impressed with the quality of responses these young people gave.

    I have said this elsewhere, but it bears repeating. The government is (or rather should be) the representative of the will of the people. It has been stolen from us, and we need to take it back. Advocating the weakening of government is playing into the hands of the powerful. Of course they want to get the government off their backs; so, I am sure do rapists and bank robbers (I mean the kind of bank robbers who come in from the outside, rather than the ones who run the banks!) Who is going to protect the interests of the weak if we get rid of the government? The solution is to return government to its proper function.

    This is actually a standard (and quite correct) definition of government. Would you prefer we return to the days of vigilante justice? It is precisely for the protection of the powerless against the powerful that we cede to government the sole right to initiate force. Again the solution is to take back the government from those who have stolen (or actually bought) it.

    These are all people and organizations that have a long history of supporting democratic and progressive causes.

    Some factual data would be useful here. Soros certainly made a huge amount of money, but as far as I know did nothing underhand. His main coup was predicting the UK devaluation of the pound, which he sold short in massive amounts. One might deplore the making of money by what is essentially gambling, but there is nothing criminal about it.

    Warren Buffet is also mentioned further down. Again, he has made a large fortune by smart investing, but as far as I know has not been implicated in anything shady. He has also long supported progressive causes, and advocated for the wealthy to pay their fair share. He is also (as is Soros) a large scale philanthropist.

    I see nothing in the rest of the article worth responding to.
