Poor Alex, sees conspiracies everywhere!
Unfortunately for Alex it is going to be hard to become a trusted voice for the people revolution. It is hard to be a believer and a critical analyst at the same time.
Alex, blindly believes in CAPITALISM, like it’s a religion and the moment he hears something that challenges it, bells start ringing and the conspiracy theories start appearing from everywhere.
Like what happened in the rest of the world, the media did not know how to handle the social protest movements. So all of a sudden the media started to give their explanation of the social unrest, tried to hijack the message, the movement, just like Alex is doing.
Unfortunately, even for Alex, although these people marching in the streets do not wear ties and suits, they are not as stupid as many people think and i do not expect a TEA PARTY like of takeover by any party.
Poeple might have different ideas about the solution to this crisis: some want to end capitalism, others the FED, others want more socialism and many just want their jobs back but one thing they have in commun: They are FRUSTRATED with the actual situation, politicians that do not represent the voters but corporate interest.
We are at the beginning of a new era and it is too early for the people to have a common denominator since too many people are still holding on to the system that brought us here, but eventually we will get there.
The revolution is a global revolution Alex, I know that sometimes americans have problems understand that there are other countries out there and that these people also have needs, feelings and this might be a surprise to some, also THINK.
Alex, think again, you have been the person that has woken up a lot of people, but sometimes, just sometimes don’t see everything as a conspiracy or you might just loose all the respect gained.

I just watched Alex’s special broadcast on the protest. I’m not buying it. He’s conflating multiple things together and applying it all to OccupyWallStreet. He says they’re calling to tax the rich. From the inception, there was never any call to tax the rich. There are voices that want that, but it didn’t come directly from Adbusters. He points out that guys like Buffet and Soros had some kind of hand in repealing Glass Steagall. I’m not familiar with their connection to it, but even if they did, reinstating Glass-Steagall was the number one demand from the beginning. If they don’t want GS, why would they push for it a reinstatement of it? There is some protesters against capitalism, but there are just as many who say that WallStreet has destroyed the free market. He claims the media is in love with the protest. What the hell has he been reading? The NYTimes has been brutal toward the protesters. For every positive story there are five negative stories.
Many of us have been worried that the Democratic Party would hijack this protest the way the Republicans have hijacked the Tea Party. That is a real danger and maybe it’s already starting to happen, but the movement didn’t start that way.
Alex intends to counter these protests with protests of the FED which is great, but why counter the wallstreet protest? Why not be another voice steering it? There aren’t that many people calling for socialism out there. You’ll find that most of those kids protesting aren’t anti capitalism. When you point out that corporations and wall street are destroying capitalism, they agree.

There are a lot of people in occupywallstreet already protesting against the Fed eg in Chicago Boston and Kansas and Anonymous is using hard criticism of the Federal Reserve, along with the IMF BIS and World Bank, to organize the protests

Right on, man. Alex has pissed me off with his skewed take on this and he hasn’t offered anything concrete to back up his claims. He should be encouraging people to join this movement, not vilifying it. It’s counter productive. It diminishes the protest and his counter protest.

Plus Alex is misrepresenting the protesters. There are many points of view down there You’ve got Communists Socialists Libertarians Constitutionalists as well as your mainline Obama people and Republicans etc and non ‘affiliated’ folks. Fact is lots of people involved in the protests across the spectrum aren’t parroting globalist talking points They’re well aware that the enemy is the banksters and their government cronies.
And if the protests are just Wall Street agitprop why is the Wall Street media so hostile to them?
And if Soros and his Wall Street cronies are behind these protests what on earth do the hope to gain from them?
bedspirit says:
It actually was covered in the beginning but the coverage was small and very negative. That’s why I don’t see it as being Soros from the beginning. No one signed on to it at first except for fringe groups.
I too see some hijacking of it, but it isn’t 100% hijacked yet. It hasn’t become the Tea Party. The way I see it, Alex is doing the same divide and conquer strategy that everyone else is using to stop the protest.
So this protest is being done for socialism or communism…? Woo scary. Funny how the corporatists and the fascists in our country have always used those two words to scare the sheep. Kurt seems to be on the side of the corporatists and the fascists! Wake up people, its time to start questioning what Kurt and possibly Alex’s agenda really are….all is not what it seems here.

Occupy Wall Street: A Globalist Op Designed to Destroy Efforts to End the Fed
Kurt Nimmo

October 2, 2011
A couple days after the initial launch of the Occupy Wall Street protests, Infowars.com received an email taking us to task for attributing the movement to Anonymous, the activist hacker group.
How can a movement originated and funded by globalists end the globalist scheme to enslave the world?“There is one major inaccuracy in all the coverage that has been bothering me, and that is the focus on Anonymous as the architects and organizers of the event,” an email received September 23 states. “The initial call for the protest was put out by the magazine Adbusters.”
The person, who shall remain nameless at this point – since I have not gained his permission to quote the private email he sent to me – is not merely a bystander or an outsider making an observation. He claims to be intimately connected to the movement through the General Assembly of New York, described as the central planning and organizing committee for the protest. His Facebook page reveals he is indeed connected to Occupy Wall Street.
The Adbusters Media Foundation describes itself as a non-profit “anti-consumerist” organization that functions as "a global network of artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs who want to advance the new social activist movement of the information age."
Like many so-called leftist non-profits, Adbusters is a creature of globalist foundations. According to research conducted by Activistcash.com, Adbusters takes money from a number of supposedly progressive foundations, including the big Kahuna of leftish foundations – the Tides Foundation and Tides Center. Between 1996 and 2003, Tides doled out $334,217.00 to Adbusters, by far the largest amount of eight foundations donating.
Steve Baldwin claims Tides received over $7 million from George Soros. Although the monetary connection between Tides’ founder Drummond Pike and the arch globalist Soros is somewhat murky, researcher Ron Arnold has mapped out numerous connections between the two so-called philanthropists. Under IRS rules, Drummond is not obliged to reveal who he receives money from to fund a large number of supposedly progressive organizations.
“The Tides Foundation is a pass-through for other foundations’ money,” writes Arnold. “Tides Foundation is a public charity, not a private foundation. Tides Foundation passes other foundations’ money to a spectrum of left-wing organizations which the original donors would not or could not support on their own… Because none of the more than 260 projects under the Tides umbrella files its own Form 990 with the IRS, their finances are totally secret and not available for public inspection, an issue that requires congressional remedy.”

As the filmmaker Michael Moore admitted to We Are Change activist and journalist Luke Rudkowski last week, the goal of the movement funded in large part with globalist lucre is to attack and dismantle capitalism. Moore discounted out of hand any effort to end the Federal Reserve and return the nation to sound and honest money controlled by the American people, not a cartel of bankers and oligarchs from the financial class, including George Soros.
Instead of addressing issues that will solve the serious social and political problems created by fractional reserve banking and other scams run by the ruling elite, the Soros lubricated anti-capitalist movement will steer popular outrage and political reaction into fireproof channels that can be controlled by globalist forces behind the curtain.
On the so-called right side of the political spectrum, a similar operation was carried out against the Libertarian Tea Party movement, now largely a cheering section and amen choir for the establishment Republican Party that is dominated by neocon personalities such as Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, and the political cameleon and former Gore operative Rick Perry.
The Occupy Wall Street movement, funded by globalist foundations – and increasingly receiving sympathetic coverage by the corporate media, at least its “liberal” wing – is now describing itself as a gathering of “descamisados” (impoverished, landless) arrayed against the “estancieros” (land owners), a class warfare reference made popular in Argentina.
In reality, it is another consolidation of wealth program designed by the elite. Warren Buffet may take to the pages of the New York Times and call for taxing the “rich,” but what he is advocating is in essence a wealth consolidation program.
The ruling elite, their banks and transnational corporations do not pay taxes, the little people do, as Leona Helmsely arrogantly noted. Increasing taxes on the “1 percent,” as the movement demands, to save the “99 percent,” will result in a further erosion of the middle class, as the elite know.
“The higher taxes may very well cause the smaller businesses to go out of business,” notes the Collateral Damage blog. “They won’t have the economies of scale to compete with the bigger corporations, so what ends up happening is that the small business assets eventually get sold to the big corporations, usually for a fraction of what the assets are worth. So in effect, it ends up being a wealth transfer from the middle class to the super elite rich.”
If we look beyond the facile socialist rhetoric and examine who is funding and essentially running the Occupy Wall Street movement – the “liberal” foundations with the same globalist goal as their supposed ideological enemies on the so-called right (who defused the real Tea Party movement) – we realize that the movement is essentially another effort to colonize political opposition and render it ineffective and politically impotent.
The real movement, and the one posing a serious threat to the “1 percent,” the global elite, is calling for an end to the Federal Reserve, a return to the core principles of our once proud constitutional republic, and sound, honest money not controlled by the elite and the financial sector now tasked with taking down the economy and reducing America to a third-world wasteland.
