Who are the 1 %? Not "all rich people" Not "all business owners" either...
It is not easy to see clearly, I admit.

I never demonstrated (or will be) in my life, but I do sympathize with those who do, and if I try to sum up the message: "Something is awfully wrong! Not the "usual" wrong, but really-really wrong!" Something like that.

By my humble opinion the 1% are those who are stealing our money.
Anyone who succeed in business, by delivering better than the competition in the normal business environment belongs to the 99%, no matter how little or how much money he/she made on it. (They are the REAL capitalists.)

Anyone who making their money by hanging on the tits of the central powers, either as privileged business owners (with no-bid contracts, friendly low-interest loans, grants and handouts) or hand picked senior employees of the big ones, or media muppets, party pets, Hollywood celebrities, mainstream artists, "experts" - you get my drift - THEY are the 1%.

The 1% is a scapegoat.

It only takes a salary of $350,000/year to be in the top 1% of America. I don't think people making 350k are manipulating markets/government.

It's really the .001% that is the problem.

What I am trying to say the "top 1%" is not identical with the 1% of the OWS

It is the .001% that holds 90% of the wealth. Or yes, accumulated wealth. But you cannot attain this wealth without making an insane amount of money yearly.

That was a major one. They don't really have a defined list of grievances so it's difficult to tell where they stand on many issues. The general consensus seems to be that they are Capitalism-hating, trust fund crackheads.

Re: Who are the 1 %? Not "all rich people" Not "all business owners" either...
If you really want to learn about the (1%) you need to do some homework. It goes much, much deeper then corporations and business owners. All you're seeing are parts of the illusion, not seeing passed it.

You and I will never know who the (1%) are, if there ever even were such a thing. These people remain cloaked, hidden, safe. Their power, which isn't money, comes from the creation, manifestation and manipulation of money. Why? Because they know it controls everything on this planet. Think of them as the "in-crowd" and you and I aren't part of it, not now not ever. MONEY is the worlds perceived life-blood and they control all of it. Period. Money is the grand illusion. Money has become this planets god and those that make the money, make the rules and in more ways then one, become "god".

What people are failing to see are the bloodlines, the powerful elite, controlling the game they set up; writing the script for humanity on a global scale. Playing god.

Luciferian rituals, satanic cults, black magic - all part of their schemes.

Dig deep enough and you will find there's an entire system designed to corrupt the souls of men. You need to look passed the MSM, corporations and everything you've previously been told.

One of their most powerful tricks is to divide - and they are doing a fine job with the false 1% vs 99%. Through their system they have created both, and now have some rather foolish people aligned with each side, creating more division all while they write the next part of the script.

Total control.

What'd you say about this man, Craig Newman who founded a website Craigslist.org on his own money, where you or me or anyone can advertise for free?
What is more he did not try to cover his costs by accepting paid advertisers (the "big guys") like most all major websites do, so he remained independent. he spread his network in 570 cities in 50 countries. Millions of people use it day by day, and - though since than some services are to be paid for, most of them are still free.
He is not in the 1%, is he?
I think there are many more people like him, we just don't hear of them, like he is never mentioned by the media, except when someone out of the 10 million/day users commit a crime.

 Quoting: 1985 1164225


Actually, what IS
the point of OWS? What movement does is serve? What and who is it affecting?

They are just protesters. Their voices fall on def ears. They are only hurting their fellow man with their misguided and misinformed practices. To me, they look like a bunch of sheeple, totally oblivious to the real problem, which isn't corporations or wall-street. Now they're all just in big herds, looking silly and wasting time, and energy.

At this point, even a complete revolution would only hurt US. Why? Because it will be the blood of US (you and I), not THEM (the powers that be) being shed.

Forget propaganda percentages. Forget the monetary system they keep shoving down the throats of people that think they're free. You are NOT FREE! As long as you continue to have FAITH in THEIR money you are INDEBTED to THEM and ENSLAVED to THEM and trapped in a way of life they have created for YOU.

OWS is just another diversionary tactic that has absolutely ZERO impact on the owners of this nation and the global elite. If anything, it's adding to a sense of fear and uneasiness most Americans are already feeling, and this only HELPS TPTB as they continue with their plans for full global control.
