TIME Ragazine declares Occupy Wall Street year’s #1 story

TIME is making Goebbels proud again.

Can there be any doubt left that the media is the enemy? The Occupiers owe everything to the 1% media. The total number of protestors across the country was what, maybe fifty thousand people? And half of those were supplied by unions and college students skipping class. Another quarter were homeless hippies. The rest – hardcore Marxists, socialists, and anarchists. This, according to Democrats “is the best of America”.

Obama’s Marxist class warfare speeches, the occupy movement, the fawning media coverage of both: it’s all deliberate, all planned. The cheery on the top of this garbage heap was Obama’s 99% anti-American, Marxist claptrap speech he delivered in Osawatomie, Kansas on Tuesday.

Will TIME make the Occupiers the #1 story next year after these same people set the streets of America on fire?

On Sept. 17, a couple hundred protesters demonstrating against the excesses of corporate execs and the pervasive influence of high finance in U.S. politics set up camp in Lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park and refused to leave. It was an unlikely occupation, one without leaders, agendas or even a clear sense of goals, but it soon was echoed in myriad cities across the U.S. and the world. To some, Occupy Wall Street is the left-wing iteration of the Tea Party, directing their rage not at big government but at the big banks that gutted the world economy and took billions in bailouts from the U.S. government while awarding themselves hefty bonuses.

But many in the movement see their cause as part of a more global zeitgeist, in keeping with the anti-austerity demonstrations in Europe and the leaderless uprisings of the Arab Spring. The Occupy movement has remained leaderless, amorphous and spontaneous — demonstrators carry signs advocating everything from financial reform to healthcare reform to a ban on fracking — it’s still unclear what sort of real lasting political effect the movement can have. But the sheer persistence of the occupations, galvanized by incidents of heavy-handed policing in New York and California that shocked the nation, have given the protesters’ appeals for economic justice a weight that may play a real role in the upcoming presidential election.
