"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." -- David Rockefeller, Speech given at Bilderberg meetingm, 1991

Dear Readers,

What follows is the first official, collective statement of the protesters in Zuccotti Park:
As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

* They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
* They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.
* They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one's skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.
* They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
* They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.
* They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
* They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
* They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers' healthcare and pay.
* They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.
* They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.
* They have sold our privacy as a commodity.
* They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.
* They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
* They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.
* They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them.
* They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
* They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people's lives or provide relief in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantial profit.
* They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.
* They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.
* They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.
* They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.
* They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.
* They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government ontracts.*

To the people of the world, We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.

Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.

To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.

Join us and make your voices heard!

NationofChange has been an unfiltered media resource for the Occupy Wall Street movement even while the mainstream media has ignored, censored, and undermined the progress of the people.

Where does ANTI-PLUTOCRATIC fit in here? OWS or non-OWS?
Oct 6, 2011 at 4:05 PM | Unregistered CommenterJohn Kennard
Where did this image come from? Who made it? Do they have the right to speak for OWS? Why is neither the image nor the message anywhere to be found on OWS' site? This reeks of fraud to me.
Oct 6, 2011 at 4:31 PM | Unregistered Commenterryking
@ ryking. The purpose of Occupy Wall Street (and the other related entities) is a financial one. However, there will be those groups who will use the movement for their own purpose and detract from the primary and most urgent issue facing all. If we do NOT get the financial mess under control, prosecute those responsible and remove those politicians who did not represent our wishes against our best interest it will be over.

ryking: USDOR and OWS are relatively non-hierarchical. (And Anonymous is hyperspatial.)

This message is not sanctioned by OWS nor is it representative of OWS beliefs. You have manufactured this image to serve your own agenda.

Ryking...you are an idiot. I did not manufacture this image. I found it on a message forum for #occupywallstreet. I have no idea who made it originally. I thought the message expressed was outstanding so I posted it here.

Relax. And return to MoveOn headquarters.

DailyBail: You have posted an image found in a FORUM without letting others know that it was one person's views, NOT the views of OWS. At BEST that make you incompetent, but I get the sense that you're just another right-wing Paultard scumbag who deliberately and dishonestly claimed that the image was OWS' views when they're really YOURS.

Finally, I'm not affiliated with MoveOn -- just like you're not affiliated with OWS, you're just another rigjht-wing douchebag trying to co-opt a left-wing movement for your own corrupt ends.
Oct 6, 2011 at 9:27 PM | Unregistered Commenterryking
Oh hey, I forgot: Where's that link back to the forum in which you allegedly found this image? Also: Do you regularly pass-off the work of others as your own? That's what you did here.

I hate the GOP as much as the DEMs. This is NOT a right wing site. Not by any stretch of the imagination. If you took the time to look around, you might learn something. My 2 favorite politicians are Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. What does that tell you?

I want to end the bailouts of Wall Street, the illegal foreign wars, the drug war, and corporate control over Washington. That's my agenda.

Here watch this and you will understand my views:

Ralph Nader, Ron Paul, Kucinich & Chomsky: "End The Left-Right Delusion, Corporatism Is The TRUE Enemy"

There is no official view of OWS. Anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention to the protests understands this. It's a diverse group of individual thinkers, with views that span the political spectrum. It was obvious to everyone but you. As I said before Ryking, relax.
Oct 6, 2011 at 10:28 PM | Registered CommenterDailyBail
Do you regularly pass-off the work of others as your own? That's what you did here.

How in the hell did I pass this along as my work. You don't know how this site operates and you show up here being an asshole. I aggregate content from all over. All the regular readers understand this. Sheesh, Ryking, you have a serious personality problem.
Oct 6, 2011 at 10:31 PM | Registered CommenterDailyBail
Kucinich and Paul are two of my favorites, as well (along with Rand Paul, Alan Grayson, Jim Bunning, Brad Sherman and Marcy Kaptur). Why? Because they haven't been bought by the finance industry.

Believe me, I'm not alone in this way of thinking, either. People with all kinds of beliefs are uniting around the principle of getting money out of politics. Our govt is a bought govt and we want to do something about it. Whether a politician is for or against federal funding for stem-cell research or whatever is really beside the point.

John..............

The guy in the above video is Ivan Marovic. John, when it was just the protesters I was good with that. When the Airline Pilots joined and the Nurses, im still good. But when all the big unions and GS throws his hat into the ring, now im getting a tad worried.

Here is a piece i found on a blog that set off alarm bells............

The big "Whammy" for America will drop within weeks or months then, the dollar will collapse. It will be officially abandoned for a new currency or basket of currencies of which the dollar will either not be a part of or at best a very small part of. Either way dollars will overnight become next to worthless.
Those that have dollars in savings or dollar based investments (stocks, bonds) are going to be wiped out financially. This will be followed by even larger numbers of disenchanted, broke, *issed off, citizens unwittingly joining these "occupy" demonstrations out of frustration. A govt. crackdown will then follow. This is all pre-planned and only those that have a "clue" will not fall into this trap! Don't be one of those mindless, uniformed protestors when Obama unleashes his "crackdown".
I'm very afraid that those that think this will all be over if and when Obama is defeated, are living in LA-LA LAND!

Could this happen, yes it realy could........Its clear the movment has been hijacked.....This was going to happen back in May wile the unions lost power in Wisconsin, but neaver got going. Well it is now it seems.

Now we need to sleep with both eyes open at night.& Google "One Hour Melt Down"...it may come in handy........

MoveOn is just another brain-drain and conditioning organization. I researched years ago and actually was contacted about a job. I could tell you a lot about them but what is important is that...they are full of shit and represent another organization of propaganda and mental conditions. Of course...that's all my opinion for what its worth.

I work with the ppl who produced it.

This is the rejection of all agendas, except those the people put forward.

Seeing as the people were there before the celebrity orators came around, yes fuck all who would co-opt.

There is no group which is an integral component of OWS other than the people. Therefore MoveOn is not a part of this effort no matter how well aligned their agenda is. They are by definition external to the time and effort put into the work.

ryking, sorry dude but you need to control your tendency to identify those you agree with as being part of the grain of the movement.

Only the people are relevant and legitimate members of this movement. All others are allies not partners. All of them.

Dear Daily Bail,

The posted 'statement of greivences' seens to be pretty accurate. i don't personally care that you didn't assign an 'author' to this, as i am saving it in my 'pictures' files. it asesses the basic greivences that started the 'ANONYMOUS' movement (that seemed to get NO media coverage, except for sites like this, for at least 10 days).

My wish in the 2008 'selections' was to see two statesmen, Paul and Kucinich, debate each other in front of the People.

After Kucinich went on that short, 45 minute ride on Air Force One, and 'decided' to change his vote on the FIRST bailout (during Bush the Younger), I was immediately assured that the Ron Paul camp was the correct decision, as i had been watching this political manouver quite closely.

Of course, being held by his ankles out of the cargo door at angels 40 might be a deciding factor in his decision...(?).

I see that even 'The Bail' is being inundadted by 'specialists' who wish to argue MINUTAE (you didn't give us the name of the author, you didn't provide the 'link', you didn't BLAH BLAH BLAH, AD INFINITUM).
'ryking' and LIKUD' and CIA and MI6 and other 'intelligence sources' seem to have the same method of obfuscation, in this regard.

Who are 'ANONYMOUS'?

"WE are ANONYMOUS.
"WE are LEGION.
"WE do not FORGET.
"WE cannot FORGIVE.
"EXPECT US."

WHO is 'ryking'?
IT is a third-level 'intelligence agency' operative, working for some banking cartel-controlled government, as a SCHILL, trying to use simple arguments about SEMANTICS to attempt to deflect the TRUE REASON for the origin of these grass-roots protests. 'IT' probably works for the CPUSA, the International Socialists, George Soros's 'Move On.ORG', The RNC, the DNC, or any other of numerous groups, either as a 'useless eater', or a 'paid infiltrator'...

The DAILY BAIL, as a website, simply posts information (and sometimes, opinion) regarding FINANCIAL ISSUES. At least, this has been my observation, over these many years.

NEXT, 'ryking' will try to denounce the advice to buy physical metals, as opposed to 'PAPER HOLDINGS'...

In the meantime, DAILY BAIL, you keep doing what you do. You have NO IDEA how much you are helping the 'great, unwashed masses'.

Thank you for your time, and your efforts.

Everyone is trying to take over this movement for their own agenda. Here is my OWS soap box:
There will be no justice and fairness for Americans while that country still marches on with illegal, immoral, war-profiteering, privitized no-bid contract hyper-inflated, soul-wrecking, Constitution-wriecking, America-wrecking wars. They sure aren’t a bunch of 60′s-loving hippies because if they were I wouldn’t be thinking I have to write this. The sad truth of it is that Americans have the country they deserve.

Van Jones Wikipedia:

In 2011, Jones worked with MoveOn.org to launch the Rebuild the Dream campaign, which was intended to start a progressive American Dream movement to counter the Tea Party movement.[86] Following a kickoff on June 23, 2011,[87][88] Rebuild the Dream announced a "Contract for the American Dream", intended as a counter to the Tea Party-supported "Contract from America",[89] and held house meetings in July.[90][91] Jones claimed 127,000 people had become involved in the movement by the end of July 2011.[92]

The “True Identity” Of Van Jones

http://www.aim.org/aim-column/the-true-identity-of-van-jones/

Some people are wondering who is next after Van Jones. But the Van Jones story is not over. And we still don’t know who hired this “obscure” official, as some on the left are now trying to refer to him. Some of these controversies are currently being investigated by the new media. Blogger Trevor Loudon, who broke the story about Jones’ communist background, thinks White House official Valerie Jarrett needs to be seriously scrutinized. She appears to have had a family connection to Barack Obama’s childhood mentor, Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis.

For the record, this “obscure” official technically worked at the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), established within the Executive Office of the President. It “coordinates Federal environmental efforts and works closely with agencies and other White House offices in the development of environmental policies and initiatives.” Yet, he never went through a Senate confirmation hearing.

Meanwhile, representatives of various George Soros-funded organizations are coming to the defense of the identified communist.

I suspect Moveon was working for Hillary to derail Sanders.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/moveon-sanders-undemocratic-superdelegates

One of the largest advocacy groups to endorse Bernie Sanders on Wednesday gently nudged the Vermont senator toward the exit, arguing that the Democratic nomination can't be won on the backs of "undemocratic superdelegates."

The liberal group MoveOn.org suggested in a statement that Hillary Clinton fairly earned the Democratic nomination after Tuesday's primaries by clinching a majority of pledged delegates.

“MoveOn members believe, as we have long advocated, that the nomination should go to the winner of the majority of pledged delegates, and that undemocratic superdelegates should not overturn the will of the voters,” MoveOn Political Action's Executive Director, Ilya Sheyman, said in the statement.

Maybe Cheyenne could do a video of Warren and sell it to the GOP.
