Thousands of protesters to 'Occupy Wall Street' on Saturday

The remarks in blue are my remarks, but go ahead and read the whole article and make your own decissions. Here is the link.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Egyptians did it for democracy. So did people in Tunisia, Yemen, Bahrain and Syria. Now, activist groups are hoping Americans will launch their own uprising -- in the form of thousands of protesters descending on Wall Street this weekend.

Occupy Wall Street is a "leaderless resistance movement" spearheaded by activist magazine Adbusters. Organizers want people to swarm into lower Manhattan on September 17 and set up camp for two months, then "incessantly repeat one simple demand."

What's that demand? They haven't decided yet. Yes they have, just read the article.


"Leaderless resistance movement" it has activist magazine Adbusters written all over it, and they are asking people to come into the street.

"Organizers want people to swarm into lower Manhattan on September 17 and set up camp for two months, then "incessantly repeat one simple demand." Right there are the leaders, organizers are leaders.  But to say no leader simply says no one wants to take responsibility for bringing thousands into the street. But they hope to make money selling their paper don't they? I like the idea and think perhaps they should include the Federal Reserve Bank, but why deny leadership and responsibility for calling for a protest?

"The plan is to crowdsource the decision. Protestors are set to meet and discuss the issue at the iconic Wall Street Bull statue at noon Saturday, as well as at a "people's assembly" at One Chase Manhattan Plaza at 3 p.m." You can bet someone will be and facilitating the conversation with facilitators on the street as well. It will be easy to control the conversations because everyone is rightfully upset with the financial situation. The word crowdsource is just anoter made up word to have deniability as to leadership which has alread been shown and described in this article. When control is lost riots break out. Mayor Bloomberg of New York is preparing for riots.


The protestors' demand will likely be focused on "taking to task the people who perpetrated the economic meltdown," says Kalle Lasn, the editor-in-chief of Adbusters. See the damand has already been made by the leaders It would not happen without leaders organizing it.

"The demand could be some stupid lefty thing like 'overthrow capitalism,'" Lasn says. "We're hoping it's something specific and doable, like asking Obama to set up a committee to look into the fall of U.S. banking. Nothing extreme about that." This statement is simply a distraction from the main subject, to distract from the leadership.[/color]
