Occupy movement under intense attack by GOP right wing propaganda
Right wing propaganda in the United States could be best described as an official GOP and conservative government communication, carefully selected and designed for its political effects on a naive public---which include Occupy movement supporters.

Across the United States and throughout the world, the nonexistence balance between poverty and conservative propaganda schemes is seen through a dramatic increase in Occupy movements, individuals who have chosen to represent the 99% of the world’s common people who are struggling to survive, while the remaining 1% keep getting richer.

Prevalent in main stream media is the increasing amount of violence and police arrests toward the Occupy protesters. Don McNay of Huffington Post says, “I am sure the Occupy Wall Street supporters have to have days of discouragement, especially on days when they are being gassed, arrested and watching their colleagues be carted off to hospitals.”

2. The occupy movement is under attack by the GOP right wing propaganda because they
hate to part of the Constitution that gives the people the right to seek redress: with McConnell's and Boehner's receiving only a 9% approval rating, never have the people's grievances been so resoundingly valid. :patriot:

3. Darn Useless Anonymous
Edited on Sun Oct-30-11 06:40 PM by Marazinia
Too bad Anonymous never does anything useful like hack FBI and CIA databases to find out what these guys have been doing about protesters and other activists over the past few decades. We could use an update on their tactics, not to mention a list of their victims.

*Edit: I won't outright ask Anonymous to do so, and I wouldn't encourage anyone else to, either, because under our current draconian legal system, it might well be a prosecutable offense! But I think it's a pity these hackers are wasting their time with piddling concerns instead of going after the real bad guys.*

5. The Feds use the playbooks they know.
Nothing the cops the media or the feds has done has turned the people against OWS. So now the move is infiltrate. Infiltrate and stir up shit. Stir up shit so the protesters can now be labeled as violent anti-Americans.

That is the current play.Those of us who are old enough have seen all this before. The name calling, the tear gas, the riot gear.. when none of that worked they went for the infiltration.

My concern now, is if they have no new playbook and the infiltration doesn't work, which it will not, the next move is to bring in the National Guard.

7. I'm afraid I've been around a while too
As the police find they're paying a minor slap on the wrist for their violence they will naturally escalate the violence. And it will be then when the National Guard will be sent in.

Sigh.

6. What piddling concerns would that be?
Banks are not the real bad guys in your opinion? You don't approve of doxing police officers who spray pepper spray in women's eyes? Get real.

16. You don't approve of my (admittedly slightly abrasive) way of dropping hints?
Oh well, I love your sig, though.

4. LOL.. they are working hard at it...
First they were all "kids with no idea what they are protesting". Then they were dope smoking bongo players. Then they were just "jobless bums". Then it was back to "no goals, no idea what they are protesting". Then it was they were just there for the drugs and free sex in the park...

When all of that didn't turn the people against OWS they moved the cops in. Tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, Riot Gear... And yet that still did not work! Oh my, what to do if you are a dumb Republican and all your bullshit isn't working! The lies aren't working, brute force is not working.. Now what?

I know... BIGGER lies! Yes when the hippie punching didn't work and the rubber bullets didn't work, it was time to bring out the heavy artillery... Hitler. Yes those OWS folks are a bunch of Hitler loving Anti-Semetic Nazi's...

What? The Nazi card didn't fucking work? How can that be? The American people hate Hitler, it should have been a home run. Now what do we do? Who do Americans hate worse than Hitler?

Wait! I got it! CHILD MOLESTERS! Yes the protesters are now associated with CHILD MOLESTERS! This one should work for sure :eyes:

9. Crazy ones
They'll drag out insanity accusations, too. But that's still not as scary as the National Guard. If any Guardsmen are reading this, please don't shoot your fellow Americans for exercising their right to free speech. Don't escalate the violence. Don't betray your oaths and sell us to the fascists. I know that's asking a lot. I know you'll get in trouble for refusing, but you didn't join the military to repress freedom for the sake of a scholarship fund, did you?
