Occupy Wall Street is a people’s movement. It is party-less, leaderless, by the people and for the people. It is not a business, a political party, an advertising campaign or a brand. It is not for sale.
...
Any statement or declaration not released through the General Assembly and made public online at www.nycga.net should be considered independent of Occupy Wall Street.Really, nobody sees a contradiction between these two statements? Those that control the website are the leaders. They are the new hierarchy. And note that they are making a point of differentiating themselves from anyone not publishing via their controlled website.
And then there is this wonderfully idiotic protest for Thursday. Shutting down the subways, that's the way to...um, what is this all about? I'm sure that will do wonders for OWS' popularity in the city. Note at the bottom they demand we "resist austerity." What on Earth is that a reference to? These guys claim to be above partisan politics, but they explicitly say cutting government spending is to be resisted. It is a tenet of their faith that government spending is in and of itself a good thing. Amazingly, they don't realize that austerity reduces the chances of corruption; the more politicians can spend, the more they will do so for their interests, not ours.
Anyway, I'm just annoyed with these people. People who cannot see reality right in front of their faces drive me off a wall. Look at how these people have run their "camps" and ask yourself, do you really want their ideas running the country?
