This is NOT "Varying Agendas" as claimed by media

Someone's picture

Forums: 

The media claims Occupy Wall Street has no clear agenda. I disagree, there is one whether people know it or not. They are saying we must change our current economic and social philosophy, which is based on false assumptions, distributes wealth unequally, and provides no safeguards for 99% of the world's population. Here is what it's called:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism.

If you don't know what that is please read the article. It means 'liberal treatment of corporations' and has been the driving model worldwide for decades. It has nothing to do with Democrat or Republican or Communist or Socialist or American or Chinese. It is way beyond that. It is the predicted "military-industrial-complex" ripening on a global scale. It is corrupt politicians and banks and corporations flaunting their disobedience to all common ethics and morals while the rest of the public suffers with an increasingly-militarized world drained of resources. It's a form of cancer.

These are complex times but this isn't rocket science. It's harder to explain but easy to feel what's happening. We all feel a sense of betrayal that this savage and selfish misuse of capitalism and politics and militarism has gone unchecked. We can all feel the manipulation, dysfunction and greedy lies behind it. It's pretty much everywhere now, with the sociopathic media driving the team.

But they are busted, we know what they are doing. This is like a mass citizen's arrest. Therefore, we point to ALL the symptoms of this reckless economic debauchery:

War
Pollution
Poverty
Lost Jobs
Social Inequity
Media Manipulation
Corporate Law 

...and so on, since they all stem from the same cause -- a Neoliberalist economic policy that was CREATED BY and GROSSLY FAVORS the wealthiest 1% of the population. Now, what is so 'disorganized' about that? Please spread this around, I'm sick of hearing about 'varying agendas'. They are so wrong. It doesn't all fit on one picket sign but it's all connected.

I Agreed with you

I Agreed with you

We have to cover our own media, and we are doing that. As you know, most media is owned by the large corporations that are directing their agenda. 

This is why we (the movement) are creating our own media, so the world can hear the truth from our minds. 

Smiles to you. 

Disappointed

Have to say I took part in the protest this weekend and although it's all good in theory, to change public policy you need leadership. Until that happens the movement is a null point.

Leadership

Yeah, leadership is needed. But as with any leader, he/she needs a platform to stand on, a set of beliefs and base of supporters who will go to bat. So far there is the base of support and the beliefs. A leader will emerge with enough time, someone who can appeal to the public. This movement will find that person just as movements have in the past. It takes time, and it can only be a "null point" if it stops now.
