The real shady: life is pretty damned tasty, Anonymous—thanks for asking (although it seems like you wish it wasn’t going so well). So tasty, in fact, I might show up for a second helping…

Educating #OccupyWallStreet Protesters

The award-winning film, “Inside Job,” does a good job of deviating from the mainstream media’s false narrative that Wall Street is completely blameless and that no crimes were committed by the CEOs of the major banks.

But the film does not capture the complete insanity and immorality of the modern banking system. It does not zoom in on the secret and anti-democratic Federal Reserve Monster that was illegally created less than a century ago under the guise that it would serve as an instrumental government watchdog to regulate banking fraud and correct the excesses of the market.

The Federal Reserve’s sales pitch to U.S. political and media leaders was a lie. It was called “Federal,” when it was in fact a privately owned subsidiary of elite banksters, and it still is today. By naming their monster, “Federal,” the private central banksters carried out the biggest propaganda coup in world history.

At the time of the Federal Reserve’s founding only a noble and vigilant few in America realized that American sovereignty and American independence was being destroyed by the treacherous directors of the Federal Reserve. The allegiance of Federal Reserve directors and presidents is not to the U.S. constitution and the American nation but to a foreign, private banking cartel based in London, England.

Most Occupy Wall Street protesters refuse to look into the evil nature of the Federal Reserve. They are blinded because of their economic ignorance. Michael Moore, who has a reputation of exposing banksters’ greed and Wall Street criminality, is missing in action on the real battlefield – the one that pits the evil Federal Reserve Banking Cartel versus the American people and the world.

So although Occupy Wall Street protesters have good intentions, they have a low degree of knowledge about the roots and causes of the world financial crisis. Their knowledge is so lacking that their protesting will not accomplish their goals. What they need is not a revolution, but an education. An education is the best kind of revolution – it is the revolution of the mind.

As Occupy Wall Street enters its third week, some observers might argue that the movement remains feckless. Detractors, both sympathetic and otherwise, continue to argue that the movement lacks a coherent vision for change.
Despite swelling crowds and alarming numbers of protesters arrested by NYPD officers, the protests have still failed to materialize into something with clear, precise aims.
Then again, perhaps clear aims and a coherent vision for change aren’t really the point. As Ned Resnikoff explains, sometimes simply claiming a space can be revolutionary. The Occupy Wall Street movement is “something entirely different and much more important” than merely a protest, Resnikoff writes. It is a “public, counter-establishment communal space.”
