The Rudderless ‘Occupy’ Movement

Apologists are out in force making excuses for the lack of political demands and focus PLAGUING the ‘Occupy’ movement; even bourgeois leftist, Naomi Klein, refers to the Occupy protest as “important.” It seems North Americans are so desperate for any opposition to the status quo they are willing to tolerate a CLAYTONS protest movement, which of course is a protest movement without movement!

So, sheeple, point-less protests by their very nature, must FAIL – blow your whistles and beat your drums until you are deaf BUT without focus, demands or an agenda, you are of NO ACCOUNT; notwithstanding that elites are a little concerned at the POTENTIAL threat. However, without a focused ATTACK on executives, Corporatists and puppet politicians, the movement remains impotent and innocuous.

The fact that protesters are unable to develop a coherent narrative and strategy with so many righteous causes available to them augurs very badly for future success -- there simply is no such thing as an EFFECTIVE, CLAYTONS protest movement!

Without focus and direction success is IMPOSSIBLE – try to imagine Martin Luther King without a civil rights agenda or Gandhi, Ho Chi Minh and Mao without a freedom agenda – get the picture, kiddies?

I would dearly love to see you succeed, dreamboats, but I am too pragmatic to forgive or ignore the lack of critical elements required for any protest or project to succeed.

A fine tuned racing car without wheels goes nowhere, though its powerful engine shakes the ground and emits a ‘terrifying’ noise.

Have a nice day in the park people, and I would dearly love to be proven wrong on this one.

Alan Grayson scratches the surface of Banker Crime, BUT the point is if he can articulate THE OBVIOUS, why can't mute 'OccupyWallStreet' protesters? He received a standing ovation from the audience, which the cameras were careful not to capture; why are Americans so frightened of stating the truth?
