I warned before that the “natural” spirit of the Wall Street
protesters would be co-opted by persons or groups with their own agendas IF the
protesters do not somehow organize and set some specific targets for their
angry protest.
Recently, unionists joined the protesters. These unionists
have jobs and actually left their jobs early to join the protest. Since the
protesters were demanding action on “jobs” to decrease the high unemployment
rate, the appearance of working union members seemed somehow at odds with the
spirit of the protest and I would caution the protesters not to allow unions to
inject their own message into the protest.
The protest has an official name now: OCCUPY WALL STREET
It appears that the union takeover of the protest is being
resisted even though some seem to appreciate their help BUT the unionists also
are starting to realize that some or many of these protesters are so far left
they resemble ANARCHISTS who denounce the U.S. government and call for its
overthrow…nice.
And the way it looks now the whole protest thing is morphing
into a call for CLASS STRUGGLE OR CLASS WARFARE which is what the Democrats and
Obama are promoting and this will not sit well with the great silent majority
in this country so the Democrats better watch out or they will be lumped in
with the RADICAL LEFT which no one supports.
Some of the radical demands noticed on protester’s signs
include free college education for everyone, elimination of all debt, end of
use of all fossil fuels, guaranteed living wage for everyone and other
socialist gems like that…did someone say Communism?
I am finding the evolution of this protest quite interesting
and exiting and I hope all this energy and anger morphs into some positive
action in Washington
