As a decentralized leaderless movement, in our opinion, there is no one group, organization, website or individual who can speak for the movement as a whole.
We, a working group of people currently occupying Liberty Park and many other locations throughout the US, are growing increasingly concerned about divide and conquer attempts being made to co-opt the movement. In the following message, we are issuing our first proposed statement. If you agree with the statement, please post it to your website and/or spread it throughout your social networks, both online and offline at occupations throughout the country. If you would like to read this statement at your local GA meetings and vote or edit it, feel free. If you disagree with the statement, please air your disagreements – this is what democracy looks like.
We appreciate, respect and encourage endorsements from individuals and organizations. We invite them. However, just because an individual or organization endorses our movement, does not mean that they in any way have a leadership role in deciding the future direction of this movement. We will not be co-opted by hierarchical organizations. No matter how wonderful their cause may be.
There are many people, organizations and media outlets within both the Democratic and Republican parties who are trying to label us as the Democrat’s version of the Tea Party. In this working groups opinion, not only is this incorrect, but in labeling us this way, you are, whether you realize it or not, undermining the very essence of this movement with your obsolete divide and conquer groupthink propaganda. Just as the mainstream media and both political parties aided and abetted the co-option of the Tea Party by the Republican Party, there is an attempt being made to do the same to us within the Democratic Party.
We the People, We the 99%, are not the pawns of either wing of the two-party oligarchy.
We emphatically reject the attempted leadership of any political party, organization or individual. If there are elected officials or organizations who endorse our movement, we welcome them.
However, they must do so knowing this: Your voice will be just as loud as any other voice. We are led by no one. You cannot co-opt We The People.
Respect Us.

the Bad Guys will do anything to trivialize the Occupy movement.
the protesters are We the People. Us. you. your neighbors.people of every color, age, economic status
and religion.
if they are afraid of Everyday People who are finally rising up against the tyranny of the banks who have committed enormous fraud and corporations who do not pay their fair tax share—Good!

Even if by half this is true, then the whole of what’s happening right now is
even more dire than thought.

Readdocs, I have been trying to warn people..We need to get out of the UN. NOW….AND THE WORLD BANK/IMF/FEDERAL RESERVE and issue our own currency……Bloomberg reported today that Ireland is planning on exiting the IMF TYRANNY…..THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MUST MAKE THE SAME DEMANDS…OR REF– USE TO PAY ANY TAXES….BOYCOTT EVERYTHING BUT NECCESSITIES…THE VATICAN IS THE HEAD OF ALL OF THIS GLOBALIST NWO AGENDA..THEY HOLD THE WORLDS GOLD IN SWISS BANKS……I talked here many months ago about how Nixon gave all of our land up for collateral to the UN/VATICAN to free up credit…Because of that the UN. HOLDS ALL LAND IN AMERICA IN FEE SIMPLE..LIKE IN MY FRAUDCLOSURE…FANNIE MAE IS SAYING THEIR INTEREST IN MY HOME IS THE FEE SIMPLE DEED….SNEAKY BASTARDS ALL OF THEM…..There is a you tube video entitled 25 facts every American should know and that is one of them….ANOTHER IS ALL INCOME TAX MONEY GOES TO ROME…AND A GOOD MAJORITY OF PROPERTY TAX TOO….THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ARE TRAITORS…PERIOD..
“We need to get out of the UN. NOW….AND THE WORLD BANK/IMF/FEDERAL RESERVE and issue our own currency”

CaitlinO…CONGRESS MUST COIN OUR OWN CURRENTY AND THE U.S. TREASURY MUST ISSUE OUR OWN CURRENCY BACKED BY GOLD OR SILVER AS THE US. CONSITUTION REQUIRES….U.S BANK NOTES…..NOT FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES….WE WERE DUPED BY THE BANKSTERS….WHAT WE ARE LIVING TODAY IS THE DIRECT RESULT OF TRAITORS AND TREASONISTS FROM WITHIN WHO WERE NOT GOVERNING AND ARE NOT GOVERNING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA UNDER THE U.S. CONSTITUTION…..OUR FOREFATHERS WERE PROTECTING WE THE PEOPLE FROM THEM WITH WHAT THEY REFER TO AS, THAT GODDAMNED OLD PIECE OF PAPER..THE U.S. CONSTITUTION IS THE ONLY THING PROTECTING US FROM THEM….AND THAT IS WHY THEY ARE TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH IGNORING IT, AND WHY THEY KEEP AMENDING IT AND WANT TO DESTROY IT…….TIME TO ABOLISH THEM….DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK CAITLINO..BECA– USE I AM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF DOING YOUR HOMEWORK FOR YOU…

CAITLIN O….BECOME PART OF THE SOLUTION AND STOP BEING A PART OF THE PROBLEM….
i hate to link to faux news… but this is what i just read and then saw this thread.
http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/protesters-accused-of-hurting-nyc-economy-ncx-20111007
mayor bloomberg is criticizing the protesters, saying that they are hurting the nyc economy.
he cou;dn’t be more wrong.
of course he made a fortune on wall street so take his comments w/ a ton of salt.
bloomberg was good at stopping cars from honking in the city but he is on the way out.
tourism and entertainment drive the dollars in this city. tourists do not come to see the NYSE or wall street.
they come to see broadway shows, the museums, the landmarks and shop.
one day soon, i hope that the unique shops return to nyc. right now it is full of cell phone shops, multiple banks
on every block, chain drugstores and starbucks.
i want a return to mom and pop stores; family-run businesses that cater to the needs and desires of the City’s residents.
Greenwich Village has been ruined.
the small artistic shops are gone.
the neighborhood restaurants are gone.
soho was once a haven for artists. now it is high rent chain clothing stores. Real People have been driven out.
the people who help this city run can’t even afford to live here. they live in the outer boroughs and commute.
Bravo Fury……….the NYC traditions are dying fast… along.with the great old urban commerce!
a friend wants me to go with her to the wall street protest. she is 72 and just had a heart attack
last week but feels like it is so important to show up and fight against this tyranny.
Bloomberg abused his power and wealth to change the law to allow himself a third term then spent a fortune to almost lose to a very non-descript opponent. He’s a poster child for the 1%.
Caitlino, I am talking about BLOOMBERG NEWS, NOT MAYOR BLOOMBERG…….
…..like Obama in the 2012 election……he is toast!
Rob…..Oh….now you say he is toast….. yet you people fell for his fake lies….I smelt the burnt toast and he did not get my vote…yet I had to listen to all this crap about him for the past 4 years…..I must be hungry..toast sounds good with some coffee right about now….since I have no Potstickers on hand…..
Don’t feel bad Rob!…I read a newsmax poll that said….McCain and Palin won that election by a landslide….The game is rigged, the table is tilted folks!!
….I got some bourbon street chicken and some……….crawfish e tu fe I just made…..send you over some?
ROB…STICK THAT CRAWFISH WHEREVER ….THAT E TU FE does not convience me one bit….peanut butter and jelly beats that for sure….My daughters eat lobster and that stuff…but not in my house….tuna fish in oil is as far as I go….and it has to be in oil..not water. So you can eat my share of crawfish…thanks for the offer….it was kind of you.
UUHHHH….PARDON ME M’AM. STICK THAT CRAWFISH WHERE?
Rob….Wherever suit’s your fancy…..just wash your hands afterwards……
I was just watching Tom Hartman’s program on RT NEWS…He was talking to journalist and author from Democracy Now, Amy Goodman…she said THIS IS NOT A RECESSION, THIS IS A ROBBERY…….!!!! She said the Occupy Wall Street Protestors come from all walks of life and they are not the there for the heck of it, they are mad at this Government…….Right on! This reminds me of a poster, that I read up at a Ford dealership that my son used to work at… It said, Let’s all put an end to this manufactured recession…… That is what this movement is all about….the BIG LIES we have been told to believe, like we caused this and we have to pay for it…
B….U…..L….L…S…H….I…….T!!! THIS IS WALL STREETS 140 TRILLION BILL…NOT MAINSTREETS…….!!!
It’s all about our FREEDOM!!
Rob, the politicians have to be held accountable for this…first and foremost….Obama said, “The Constitution is just a goddamned old piece of paper!” Well, not to WE THE PEOPLE…that is just the kind of attitude that put all of us here…it is politicians with this Globalist attitude and agenda that is the reason we are all here….an inch away from communism and totalitarianism….
My God, because of these traitors and treasonist politicians, the ruling elite have been allowed to steal everything from millions of Americans that they had no right to take….they did not own it…they did not pay for it…they had no skin in the game….Because of them, we have become perilously close to our ruin….the complete loss of not only everything we own, but our whole country…..thanks to the politicians… This is worse than Soviet Russia or Hitler’s Germany, they just took everything….This is really strategic, and sneaky….the NWO are using claims of false debt and the color of law to steal everything from the people….including our freedom, and the U.S GOVERNMENT IS ALLOWING THIS….NOW THAT IS EVIL INCARNATE…. THIS IS NO DEMOCRACY….THIS GOVERMENT IS A CABAL OF TREASONIST TRAITORS…THROW THEM ALL OUT AMERICA!!!! RIGHT TO THE GUANTANAMO….WITH ALL OF THEM….HEFTY FINES AND FEDERAL PRISON FOR THE WALL STREET CRIMINALS…….!!!
I vent…..that is what I don’t understand….Obama has not been for this country or the people….He should have been inpeached….TREASON….and yet he is getting away with all kinds of shit. I find it very hard to believe with all the smarts in this country…a group could not get together and do something about Washington DC including CONgress? Hell..Bill Clinton had his fun in the oval room exercising his rights with a chick….and they spent weeks into months talking it over that he did something wrong….yet….all this shit and nothing being done…..that is what I don’t understand…everybody talks…thats it…..Is this whole country afraid to speak up or what? We are millions of people letting the government do as they damn please….like putting us in this position…YES….WE WERE ROBBED AND STILL BEING ROBBED……
Vent and Marilyn…..this is a massive plot….. with Obama taking orders and delegating others to wield the sword…..good example= a friend of mine who is in the health and nutrition business, he is legendary…. is trying to be forced out of business “from the Obama administration”
trying to jack up the big Pharma This is sickening and heartbreaking! We must stop them now or it will be too late No time left people!
Marilyn and Rob…Yes, this is a massive conspiracy…we know who these people are working for and it is not WE THE PEOPLE…This is a NWO set up….the media spun the Obama campaign like everyone loved him…that is simply not the case… I don’t know of anyone who voted for him…. John Mayer speaks about the media in his song, Waiting For The World To Change…he says, when they are the only information they can spin it anyway they want….They are doing it now, making the next election a race between the Texan and the mormon…and already predicting the Kenyan’s ouster. This is not democracy…this is tyranny. We have never had a president win an election yet that has not been Repub or Dem…right there that speaks volumes….I know the birdman is kinda racist, but I like his idea nonetheless..he tells more truth than they do…..Don’t forget who has hijacked the world, the biggest bunch of racist haters imagineable…They are who planted the seeds of racism so now maybe that will backfire on them too……You reap what you sow….
http://www.thebirdman.org/Index/Fight/Fight-FinalSolutionToTheWashingtonQuestion.html
Vent, You are right….the Birdman is smart……..but he is also seriously socially and emotionally twisted! Just sayin’.
Rob, that is the kind we need!!!!…To scare the bejesus out of them..We are all too damned nice, godamn it…!!!..My husband said last fall, when there was this crazy guy who was going to run for Mayor and my husband said, that is the kind we need to fix this mess………..All nuts need apply!!
Vent….kind of racist…..he is a white supremist……….maybe he should start a colony in Greenland!
But Rob, who do you think was behind the KKK? The Government Rob…Don’t look now, they may have sown their own demise!!!
Rob….The pharmaceutical industry and the federal government screwed all the children harmed and injured by mandated vaccines….The federal court was rigged so no child won a case but one kid…a neurosurgeon and his lawyer/nurse wife..never went to court hearing but the DOJ paid millions for their kid…and this doctor said afterwards that he also did consultant work for pharma….it was fixed….I realized when they kept stalling the court cases…and they only heard 6 cases…my grandson was one of the 6,000 children to be heard…I realized it was being done the same as the foreclosures…..same treatment everything. they even changed the 1986 congress bill to make it impossible to even have a fair court case…this past summer we said ..fuck it..and pulled his case out…my grandson was tested over and over because he had a leaky gut…non verbal and other issues and needed many supplements as we do not do the drug bit…and we would get mail saying the government was going to stop all supplements as they were dangerous…not approved by the FDA….I even wrote to the health dept and pharma..and spilled my guts…a natural supplement is alot safer than pharmas….the wild animals heal themselves eating natural growing plants. People were turning to the natural and doctors and pharma were bitching of the profits down…that is why they want to stop all supplements…You would need to see a doctor to get a prescription to buy even a vitamin….There is alot more to this…since 2003 I have fought this crap and than the foreclosures start..so at same time we were fighting the government in 2 different courts that were and are corrupt…. I understand what your friend is going thru…pure hell for no reason but greed on pharma end. This country has gone to hell …the government has allowed it.
I f you look at the garb the KKK wore and you look at the garb they wear around the Vatican, it is the same getup…the pointy hooded hood mask…!!!! They are creepier than birdman!!!
Vent……. We will all be scary …to them…soon….we will be like “night of the living dead” only there will be millions of us!
Rob, they were trying to foment communism with KKK, they were trying to start a race war…MLK outsmarted them with the civil rights movement…Ever see the movie Rosemary’s Baby…that movie is all about the ruling elite and their evil….I will post the link about it….Where that movie was filmed, the Dakota is where the elite live and hold their devil worship…that is where John Lennon lived…there are alot of connections to that movie and real life…they were trying to tell us something…Sharon Tate got killed by Manson, the wife of the director of that movie…..and Manson was trying to start a race war to bring on Armegeddon over some beatles white album crap..Yeah, right…..
I know Marilyn….I am a health food only diner and I take huge amounts of supplements….learned the details from my friend and associate………I was shocked….but until then….Obama had me fooled! I also take stem cell products fron Canada…..don’t know how much longer!
Rob, heres that link about rosemary’s baby.. and it is creepy….it might take a bit to come up, but it is interesting for sure….
http://vigilantcitizen.com/moviesandtv/roman-polanskis-rosemarys-baby-and-the-dark-side-of-hollywood/
I vent..you are right on the garb…I never thought of that….this shit is getting real deep and scary…..thank heavens my daughter and granddaughter live with me…..I would not like it to be by myself…my shadow would scare me……although when I have lived alone I was never scared….but now….well…I guess I will just have to keep the electric commercial power nailer handy and just start firing nails at whoever.
Duck everybody…..Marilyn is firing her automatic weapon…..nail gun!
“Obama said, “The Constitution is just a goddamned old piece of paper!””
Really? Do you have a source for that or is it just one more completely unauthenticated pulled out of your ear assertion?
I’m not at all happy with Mr. Obama’s presidential performance but I can’t imagine him making a statement like that. In quotes no less. There are plenty of real debacles to criticize him over; why invent something so over the top?
This kind of assertion hurts the credibility of the person making it and the credibility of the site hosting it.
Caitlin O..google it, dingbat…do you expect us to do all of your homework? When you find out let us know….
Marilyn, here is another creepy link.. Does A Satanic Cult Rule The World?
http://www.henrymakow.com/211002.html
Rob….That is no joke…that nailer is a weapon and dangerous…it was my husband’s…the noise is louder than a gun…he had permits for two pistols…both worth money…one was auto. WAC from I believe ww11..and I forget the name of the other but it came from Italy and had a story…I gave them to my brother -in -law who was Captain on the Sheriff Dept…and went to the range every week…I use to shoot the auto. one when we went up north…but I really don’t like guns in my house…actually I don’t like guns..period. So I shoot nails…..LOL…OMG…where does this all end. I have to see humor or I would go mad………So are you a health type person…like watch what you eat…what and why do you take stem cell products ? I try to research info on certain ‘ things ‘ to give my grandson….( between doing the research on world issues) his MRI showed a perfect brain..but an MRI does not go deep according to the neurologists and she said at this point we don’t know why he lost what words he knew at 17 months after being so sick from the reaction after a series of vaccines…he is disabled according to the government…..and considered a severe autistic…some thought he was mercury poisoned..cause of the levels in tests…but he mastered the computer..the vhs player and any TV clicker..at this point non verbal seems to be his real problem…NO MORE VACCINES FOR ANY OF MY GRANDCHILDREN….and two go to public schools. …Do you have skype?
Marilyn………I came down with a rare Southeast Asian virus……..carried it around for 40 yrs………finally discovered in 2007. After chemotherapy drugs I was in bad shape until 2008, when Doctor’s told me I had 6 mo to live……Sick and tired of being sick and tired……I listened to my friend and 4 years later after switching to omega 3 foods, I am fine… no sign whatsoever of any health problems……told the doctor/s why and they dismissed me as a miracle…that these things happen and laughed and were not interested ln how I achieved success…will never go near another doctor! I take 23 different health supplements per day! Recommend a health care practioner as apposed to MD…WHO IS HOOKED INTO THE SYSTEM!
Hey Marilyn, Why settle for a .50 calibre shell………….when you can fire 16 penny “spikes” at your target. I’ll bet that you would prefer the chainsaw…..to the gun!
Hey Rob…Got one of those too (chain saws)…in fact …got 2… Ya…I could spit nails alot faster….everyone should have one….or one of each…Sorry to hear of your issue of the virus…I fully understand what your are saying….The Gov’t and Pharma has ‘ banned ‘ MD’s from having any child as a patient that had not been fully vaccinated….so we had to seek other help…the boys now have a doctor…who helps us if they get sick…But so far they have not caught any childhood sickness…NO …we are somewhat done with the ‘ medical practice ‘ …..got stories on that too. I have not been to a doctor since teenager..except to have to births…and I even have stories on all…Rob..I have to leave now and go to my grandsons birthday….but will be back on later tonight……..I vent….keep me informed later….I watched the videos…..
hey remember i vent i 1st found these web sites i had just found my fraud and it continues with wells fargo wanting to dual track. U use to say take t to the streets people and here we r today and the media ignores the cause they make the world think they r protesting “corporate greed” when its about stealing houses? But they will never say it in a papers or mainstream media this needs to change but how do we pull this off?
lies is all they tell, I agree with the “we will not be co-opted part”…but they need a spokesperson to talk about WHY WE ARE ALL HERE IS BECA– USE OF TRAITORS FROM WITHIN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT…THE POLITICIANS, THEIR MINIONS AND COHORTS…..THE INSIDE JOB…..and who instituted this evil HITLER PLAN and ALLOWED Wall Street an unlimited credit line backed by the U.S TAXPAYER…..WHICH THEY PRECEDED TO RING UP THEIR DEBT TO 140 TRILLION DOLLARS VIA THE SO-CALLED, GSE’S…WHAT WALL STREET WAS ALLOWED TO DO IS ALL IN THE DOCUMENTARY NOW ON YOU TUBE CALLED: PLUNDER, A WALL STREET STORY…IT IS SICKENING WHAT THEY WERE ALLOWED TO DO..AND EVEN MORE SICKENING THAT OUR OWN GOVERNMENT ARE TRAITORS………THE POLITICIANS ARE WHO MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, FROM THE POLITICIANS ON UP…..
Awesome!!!….the two-party system is a sham and a fraud…it no longer exists..the corrupt and treasonist politicians are the cause of this whole manufactured NWO mess…
I know this woman under foreclosure breast cancer and ahole fake husband! hope this helps her!
Say What?
…toast….
I vent…LOL……” SAY WHAT ?” I READ IT 3 TIMES ….that calls for some rum in my coke….I have to relax ….and I don’t even drink….but I am leaning that way to excape……What the hell did that mean ???
Marilyn, I think Maggie might be a few drinks ahead of us, we have some catching up to do…LOL!
MARILYN……smeone in the room is toast….get it?
Whatever she’s having, I’ll have 2….!!
Rob…You must remember I have been sheltered all my life….’ someone in the room is toast ‘…you mean toasted ?
Marilyn, When you have reached that place that takes you way over the edge……….and you ain’t comin’ back…. it’s called” you are toast”
Marilyn, Obama…2012 election…..toast!
Rob, clink, clink!
I vent…that is happy hour…….4 to 6PM
Marilyn and Vent…….I AM NOT AS THINK AS YOU DRUNK I AM!!
Damn, wish I was there! Oh well…cheers to all!
I vent….Rob is drinking and sucking on crawfish for his dinner….He is in his glory….and I am getting sick just thinking of eating those things.
Marilyn ………no, no………there is no dish better……anywhere……
I have never had crawfish guys…I think it is a southern thang…!!
I vent….In Florida I swear they eat any thing and everything…. I am a northern gal and this southern way is very hard on my way of eating….they eat oysters like I eat chocolate……Do you even know what a crawfish and oyster look like ?
……..oysters, clams, conch, scallops and……………..escargot…………..yummy!
Marilyn, I have seen those things but never had either….A fabulous cook made some ciapino one time up at my husbands parents cottage in Sisters Lakes Michigan…..It was unforgettable I have to admit…It is seafood in Italian sauce…fantastic!
