  • Ok first off, it's Wikipedia....2nd, even in that wiki it starts off by saying "one' of the original intents was to protest the influence of wall st/corporate America on democracy. Which goes entirely hand in hand with the 08 recession. Wall st, in collusion with our govt....put us economicall in a spot where we became vulnerable to such a collapse. But of course wall st didn't care all htat much cause they were playing mostly with our munnehs. I distinctly remember people getting up with microphones though and detailing the subprime horseshit right infront of one of the banks, I think it was Chase but not sure. So yeah plenty people in those protests knew exactly what was going on. Some of them were ex wall st employees who were there precisely for that reason, to add real substance to the protests. But most of htose people were gainfully employed so they couldn't be there 24/7. Broadstroking the protests with the homeless or near homeless people htat camped out there for months on end ain't exactly legit.

  • Pretending the unemployed rabble-rousers were for the most part PhDs it economics ( or had any clue besides the fact they didn't like rich people and it must be Wall Street's fault) ain't all that legit either.

    well I said that there were a lot of simply unemployed stoners. But there were also a lot of people who knew "exactly" what they were talking about. But they weren't there all the time. They used the unemployed people as a constant presence.

    I'd say a tiny fraction knew anything about mortgage based securities. And I mean tiny.

    And those that might have wouldn't be the type of people who think you change it by shitting on a police car. Or even carrying a sign.

  • you wouldn't be holding all the protesters responsible for one guy would you? One guy who decided he didn't like cops and shit on their car?

    Not at all, I realize he's just one idiot and probably not much like the rest of them. I do, however, think that the protest is stupid and all of them are idiots. But the car shitter is not an across the board indictment.

  • back on topic, I can't find anything about these guys that talks about planned uranium excavation. From what the "media" is reporting, the Bundy's are saying they're doing this cause the land was improperly ceded to the govt like a century ago or some shit like that. Now there's an Indian tribe that says that land was never ceded from their tribe to the govt NOR any ancestors of the bundy's. So the Indians are saying that these round eye's are basically squatters anyway so they don't know what all the fuss is about. Shit is getting convoluted and i'm starting to feel like we're not being told the real story. My friend is from that area but lives in Seattle, his family is apparently right around there and that's what people from that area know about this supposed dispute over the land.

    So if the Indians staged a bundy coup on the land would the liberals shit their pants in fear or glee? Tough choice.

  • Pretty sure indians don't have particularly slanted eyes. I think you're mixing up your races there you bigoted slime.

    well liberals would support it of course. "IF" this thing about the Uranium and gold is true, it's odd that it's not getting out there, especially from the supposed liberal media.

    Did the Indians have a deed to the land?

    This was not the acquisition of land from a sovereign nation dumb ass, but rather from a bunch of teepee dwelling nomads, who by the way, were at constant war with each other over territorial disputes.

  • Terrorists that haven't shot or beheaded anyone or blown anything up. Huh. That's sure interesting. I guess that would make the black lives matter lot super terrorists since a bunch of people weye shot and victimized in the courses of their protests.

  • Well what is the definition of a terrorist?

  • I think this shows how delaying removal of these people, in an attempt to do so in a peaceful way, was, and is, a mistake. Ammon Bundy and his ilk aren't interested in anything peaceful unless the US gives into their blackmail demands. The government backed away from the situation in Nevada last year, and that has allowed the same situation to happen in Oregon. The U.S government did nothing, and now we see another armed gang, the Pacific "Patriot" Network, on the ground. The more that situations like this are ignored, the more frequent these events will become.


    They will get nothing from the government. This is a waste of their time. But at least they picked a vacant government building 30 miles from anywhere to hold their protest.

    Was Timothy McVeigh a terrorist?

    After all he was a white male born in the USA.
