    What Occupy Wall Street Wants

    I personally think this is a beautifull message.




    A revolution is coming to America.. Not Just America but the World, people are waking up and finally realising how the world works and that their rights as free human beings are slowly being taken away from them..
    The 99% are rising up!

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose
    sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies. As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon
    corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and
    those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the
    people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the
    Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic
    power.

    We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest
    over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled
    here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.
    They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage. They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.
    They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one's skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.

    They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system
    through monopolization. They have profited off of the torture, confinement,and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay andsafer working conditions. They have held students hostage with tens
    of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers'healthcare and pay. They have influenced the courts to achievethe same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.

    They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance. They have sold our privacy as a commodity.They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press. They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit. They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce. They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them. They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil. They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people's lives or provide relief in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantial profit.They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.

    They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media. They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad. They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts. To the people of the world, we, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.

    To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy,we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.
    Join us and make your voices heard!

    The statement issued from Zuccotti Park, by the general assembly, at Occupy Wall Street.
    Dear USA, Your 9/11 is our 24/7, Sincerely Palestine xx

    Just remember the Robber Barons of the 19th Century and what it took to free ourselves of their strangling grip on our economy.

    We are again in the grip of modern day Robber Barons. Hope for the best; but, prepare for the worse.

        Reading that you start realizing just how many things are completely screwed up.
        You could isolate Monsanto as one mega-agribiz which is obliterating large parts of the planet and has control of roughly 2/3's of the world's food supply etc...

        point being is that alot of people (myself included) have been saying the ows movement needs to have a few simple demands that everyone can get behind, but the problem is there are so many critical problems paring down a list is difficult.

        The one thing they need to drop is the anti-capitalist stance.
        The problem is not capitalism, it's corrupt corporatism.
        We are subject to a corporatocracy which is above the law, or which has become the law.

          When they keep saying "they did this" and "they did that"...

          It's all pretty much true. You could definitely call the Wall Street crew robber barons -- and the government is responsible for not only giving them their power, but their impunity also.

          The financial business is inherently a criminal enterprise.

            If the revolution does come then all of these useful idiots will drown in the rivers of blood. That is certainly a nice thought.

              When it comes down to 99% vs 1% guess who wins.

              Besides, you are part of the 99% anyway, so your position is not sensible to begin with...

                  History has shown us that nobody wins but millions die in the process. The last time revolutions swept the globe more than 100 million died...... who knows this time...... maybe 200 million? Something to look forward to no doubt.


                  I take comfort however in knowing that the revolution always eats its own...... thus my comment that these useful idiots will drown in the rivers of blood...... just like the ones who came before them.

                    I think the planet's human population is about to hit 7 billion.

                    200 million is just a drop in the bucket.

                      Spoken like true Marxist. That is probably the first honest post you have ever made on this board. History has shown us that Marxist collectivist fantasies always end in mass slaughter. At least you are now embracing what you are and what your goals are instead of hiding behind a mask of moderation and civility.

                        Yup, you figured me out. I'm obviously a secret marxist, bent on the destruction of the human race.

                        And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids

                          The reality is that the wealth of this country was built by those who made things.

                          The wealth was stolen by those who make nothing; the financial services industry.

                          You can get richer by making more things. You can only shave a dollar so many times before it's nothing. At some point the game is over.

                          When financial services companies, companies that do nothing except move money around, make more than companies that actually produce anything, we have a MAJOR problem.

                          Enter Occupy Wall Street.

                                    You realize that's propaganda right? Omg, I bet people hear that stuff and believe every word of it. It's scary what can happen when people who are not properly educated or knowledgeable in political ideologies form an opinion and act on it. For all those who think the 99% is the new super class and that the 1% should be punished or destroyed along with capitalism, please read "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx, and realize how un-American your ideals are.

                                      The OWS movement has become a joke, and will be remembered as a time Americans listened to Canadians and got nothing done.

                                      Here's your average "Protestor(s)".

                                      Trust me, an Internet Meme is more than enough for me to blow off the idiots at OWS.

                                        Let me see if I have this right.
                                        The protesters are protesting against Wall Street corporations?
                                        The same Wall Street corporations that manufacture the IPhone/IPad, they are using to get the word out with?. On a wireless network that is owned by a Wall Street company?. To a social network sites owned by a multimillionaires?.

                                        And how exactly do these protesters get around?.
                                        In cars/buses built by Wall Street corporations, with fuel from other Wall Street corporations???

                                        I'm confused...

                                          You can get richer by making more things. You can only shave a dollar so many times before it's nothing. At some point the game is over.

                                          When financial services companies, companies that do nothing except move money around, make more than companies that actually produce anything, we have a MAJOR problem.

                                          Enter Occupy Wall Street.

                                            The protesters are protesting against Wall Street corporations?
                                            The same Wall Street corporations that manufacture the IPhone/IPad, they are using to get the word out with?. On a wireless network that is owned by a Wall Street company?. To a social network sites owned by a multimillionaires?.

                                            And how exactly do these protesters get around?.
                                            In cars/buses built by Wall Street corporations, with fuel from other Wall Street corporations???

                                            I'm confused...
                                            Since when does anyone on Wall Street make anything?

                                                  Problem is that you didnt get the whole point. Ive seen this apple/iphone argument so many times ... yet its totally retarded to the bone. Who says these guys protest against manufacturing of things or their usage? So a protester should come to the place on a horse, dressed up in self made clothes, eating self made bread and drink rain water?

                                                  This is not what its about, they protest against the flawed system, society ran by debt, total power of money and putting income over the value of life. Nobody wants to stop production of things - but why should a device made in china for $10 sell for $500 in the retail in the USA, cause it has to fill the pockets of 100 idiots in the process, who do nothing but try to look clever and smart.

                                                  The whole economic setup is bad right now, everybody is in debt, countries operating only at 3% yearly debt are considered well behaving countries, banks do bad investments and they get bailed out by taxpayers money ... this is the things they protest against. Nobody wants to wipe out technology or progress.

                                                    Wallstreet ultimate factory of the world
                                                    Of course, wallstreet banks own some of the companies or fund operations of some companies, but you take it like without wallstreet there wouldnt be no economy


                                                    I dont have any problem with wallstreet except they should went BK in 2008-9.There wouldnt be any OWS movement today.
                                                    Good article what should be done in 2008-9:

                                                      OWS looks to be running out of thing to protest about. Now OWS is protesting the Stop and Frisk lay of the NYPD. What a fucking joke.

                                                      From their own site where OWS was proud to post it.

                                                        You could isolate Monsanto as one mega-agribiz which is obliterating large parts of the planet and has control of roughly 2/3's of the world's food supply etc...

                                                        point being is that alot of people (myself included) have been saying the ows movement needs to have a few simple demands that everyone can get behind, but the problem is there are so many critical problems paring down a list is difficult.

                                                        The one thing they need to drop is the anti-capitalist stance.
                                                        The problem is not capitalism, it's corrupt corporatism.
                                                        We are subject to a corporatocracy which is above the law, or which has become the law.


                                                        Well said, there was an artical on mises.org which is analysing the movement, in reality this organization is lacking in so many ways, .

                                                          The West has little left to sell to the developing nations and what they have is probably shrinking. One sector the West does have and it makes trillions. Is the financial Sector.

                                                          Piss them off to the extent they move to more friendly places and lose the trillions they make. That's the real world folks. not the one the OWS visit enough. They are probably only able to occupy Wall Street, because they have Wall Street financing them.

                                                          Control and limits are good. But if the US made producing online porn very hard, what would happen to the US online porn business?

                                                            and win trilions you will otherwise need to bail them out when next bubble burst.
                                                            I can see Wallstreet moving to China or some other third world shithole soon . Wallstreet is where it is, because its backed by the biggest world economy and by the country who attract biggest pie of the capital in the world every year

                                                                          Piss them off to the extent they move to more friendly places and lose the trillions they make. That's the real world folks. not the one the OWS visit enough. They are probably only able to occupy Wall Street, because they have Wall Street financing them.

                                                                          Control and limits are good. But if the US made producing online porn very hard, what would happen to the US online porn business?

In the 70s 95% of money invested in banks was invested back into the local community with 5% going on the roulette table that is the stock exchange. Now the figure has flipped around the other way with only 5% being there for small businesses etc which has crippled their ability to trade. What really needs to be established from this is a new Building Society/Bank which is owned by the people and invests in the people.

                                                                          The people on Wall Street and all these financial sectors pay fuck all tax and their actions damage the economy. In all it costs to have them there so good ridance I say.

                                                                            The wealth was stolen by those who make nothing; the financial services industry.

                                                                            You can get richer by making more things. You can only shave a dollar so many times before it's nothing. At some point the game is over.

                                                                            When financial services companies, companies that do nothing except move money around, make more than companies that actually produce anything, we have a MAJOR problem.

                                                                            Enter Occupy Wall Street.

                                                                            You guys should read up on how exactly financial industry works, what it does, etc, instead of listening to all the propaganda that you hear in the media....

In the 70s 95% of money invested in banks was invested back into the local community with 5% going on the roulette table that is the stock exchange. Now the figure has flipped around the other way with only 5% being there for small businesses etc which has crippled their ability to trade. What really needs to be established from this is a new Building Society/Bank which is owned by the people and invests in the people.

                                                                                The people on Wall Street and all these financial sectors pay fuck all tax and their actions damage the economy. In all it costs to have them there so good ridance I say.

                                                                                            spoken like a real new age tool.

                                                                                            fact check buddy, we are and will forever be in the "industrial age" because now and forever, as long as people have physical bodies, we will need food, housing, clothes etc.,
                                                                                            and if you think that by removing those things to have "3rd world countries" do it for you because you're above that, you need to check yourself.

                                                                                            and btw, trading money to make money doesnt do shit for anyone except to create a world of misery to those very lives you are speculating against.

We are not talking cheap shit sold in super markets but high end stuff. The main problem was what I outlined that the money was not there for credit lines etc to finance it and that is why it is moving abroad.

"coporate greed" is the thing that makes stocks go up, if you don't think you want stocks going up you are an idiot or have piles of money buried in the backyard, also making you an idiot.
