CREDIT, CONTROL AND EXPLOITATION.... OCCUPY GETS "COMPLICATED!
The last time I referenced this " Occupy" issue, it was, in the eyes of the media, still just a good excuse to have a campout and sing old songs!
The media caught on quickly they were underestimating what was going on and agencies like CNN changed their attitude on how to cover the story.
It's now interesting to see the groups that are trying to find a way to turn the event into an advantage.
The US Democratic party is trying it's best to fold " Occupy" into a 2012 Campaign weapon, but I'm not sure all the groups involved are going to go along with the idea.
The US Republican party seems to still be gathering information to frame their response as a collective, although a few members have jumped on the media bandwagon and labeled the movement as anti Capitalism College Kids looking for a good time.
The US Democratic party is going to need to be very careful with attaching their name to the movement.
If groups like the World Anarchist meld into the " Occupy" event, and they are trying with each passing day, then US politicians could see their affiliation with the movement virtually blow up in their faces.
In the realm of "Exploitation" Iran seems to have been the first to strike.
The statements about the US simply trying to distract the world from the problems the
" Occupy" movement posses for the US was a brilliant counter by Iran .
It may not have sold to many people in the US , but it was meant for the population of the Middle East and the youth of Europe and in that regard it worked masterfully.
I find it interesting that some of the movement purest are reluctant to attach a overall "cause" to the event.
Internal power struggles with those that are passively attempting to Hijack the movement are becoming more and more common.
This should sound a little like familiar if you live in Egypt .... Remember.. some said the Occupy event was nothing more than an extension of the Arab Spring.
I was talking to some folks Saturday night and an interesting opinion came up.
In the early 1930's the root of all evil in Germany were the Jewish Bankers and Company owners.
Everything that was wrong with Germany ... everything they had lost... jobs... houses.. savings.. ect...ect... was the direct result of the Jewish people of Germany .. or at least that was the story the German people were told by what would become the new government of Germany .
It is more than a little frightening to see a particular section of society be labeled for all the world's ills.
It's easy for a young Arab Muslim to associate " Banks" with the Jewish People.
Is this insinuating the " Occupy" movement could become an movement of hate?
Well, is it possible a movement can be hijacked?
Ask the Students and the Socialist who brought down the Shaw of Iran!
If you don't know the history of what happened in Iran , then you need to read.
Some things are far too coincidental for paranoid members of the world population.
The 1930s are not that far removed... Some are still alive and remember how it all started.
Remember the old saying about " history".
Is it ok to demonize the Banks and Big Business??
Who knows!!
Where could it all lead???
A frightening question.
