99% is getting under their skin
No matter what your political party, the police pepper spraying protesters on the campus of UC-Davis, who are on the ground, unarmed and nonthreatening, has to make you cringe, if not angry that this scene is being repeated all over our country.
The police are in the 99 percent, and yet they are forced to dutifully follow orders and turn on the very ones who speak for them ... the Occupiers.
While recently in Chicago enjoying the interaction with the Occupiers, I learned that Wall Street is unnerved over the support for the movement’s issues and what effect it will have for the 99 percent ... maybe save the middle class?
The MSNBC program, “Up w/Chris Hayes,” has just revealed a Republican plot that targets any and all Democratic politicians who support and sympathize with the movement. Republican lobbyists have been exposed suggesting an $850,000 campaign of dirty tricks and misinformation to smear and intimidate all supporters of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
The smear campaign was proposed by a well-known lobbying firm by the name of Clark Lytle Geduldig & Cranford with links to the financial industry and Republican politicians, including Republican House Speaker John Boehner.
No matter what it takes, no matter how much money is invested, no matter who is hurt, the 1 percent must be protected against the “mob” as they call us ... the 99 percent.
