Alex Jones is wrong in his criticism of Occupy Wall Street. The Federal Reserve is a huge part of the problem, no one disputes this, but that doesn't make the protests in New York and all across the country, any less valid. Protests against Wall Street bailouts and the Fed are both positive steps on the path to enlightenment, and they can co-exist in harmony, as evidenced by Occupy Chicago and Boston.

UPDATE - From a commenter:
The “Occupy Wall Street” protesters have targeted the Federal Reserve as one of their central platforms from the very start. One organizer, known only as “Anonymous A99,” announced the first operation targeting the FED, called “Operation Empire State Rebellion,” on March 12. This what become the Occupy Wall Street movement. Anonymous A99 was clear about the intent of the organizers, here is a quote:
"Above all, we aim to break up the global banking cartel centered at the Federal Reserve, International Monetary Fund, Bank of International Settlement and World Bank. We demand that the primary dealers within the Federal Reserve banking system be broken up and held accountable for rigging markets and destroying the global economy, effective immediately. As a first sign of good faith, we demand Ben Bernanke step down as Federal Reserve chairman. Until our demands are met and a rule of law is restored, we will engage in a relentless campaign of non-violent, peaceful, civil disobedience.”
