Exclusive: Occupy Wall Street Activist Slams Fox News Producer In Un-Aired Interview [Video] Even if Geraldo Rivera was at the Zuccotti Park yesterday, FOX News has generally been a tad dismissive of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Foxnews.com (as of this writing) has no coverage of this national event on their front page stories. (Hard to imagine for a network that was so gung-ho about the Tea Party!) Red Eye‘s Bill Schulz went out to try to “prank” the protesters. Bill O'Reilly sent a producer minion out with the same mission: to belittle OWS’s cause by cutting up interviews to make people sound stupid.
Well, here is an interview that Fox News filmed, but doesn’t want you to see. The speaker giving Fox News the buisness is Jesse LaGreca, a vocal member of the Occupy Wall Street protests. Now, no news organization is under obligation to air every interview they’ve filmed, especially when it makes them look bad. The ball is in your court, Fox.

There is something very wrong with this picture Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Sunday, October 2, 2011 Despite their honest intentions, many of the Occupy Wall Street protesters are being suckered into a trap and calling for the very “solutions” that are part of the financial elite’s agenda to torpedo the American middle class – higher taxes and more big government.
Watch the clip below in which journalist Adam Kokesh talks to Occupy Wall Street protesters. The ignorance displayed in these interviews knows no bounds. The protesters just don’t get it. They are calling for the government to use force to impose their ideas, all in the name of bringing down corporations who they don’t realize have completely bought off government regulators. The zeal for totalitarian government amongst some of the “protesters” is shocking. One woman interviewed by Kokesh also announces her intention to help Obama to capture a second term. Something is very wrong with this picture. A d v e r t i s e m e n t. Wall Street Protest Begins, With Demonstrators Blocked. Robert Stolarik for The New York TimesProtestors gathered in Lower Manhattan for what some called the United States Day of Rage. For months the protesters had planned to descend on Wall Street on a Saturday and occupy parts of it as an expression of anger over a financial system that they say favors the rich and powerful at the expense of ordinary citizens.
As it turned out, the demonstrators found much of their target off limits on Saturday as the city shut down sections of Wall Street near the New York Stock Exchange and Federal Hall well before their arrival. By 10 a.m., metal barricades manned by police officers ringed the blocks of Wall Street between Broadway and William Street to the east. (In a statement, Paul J. Browne, the Police Department’s chief spokesman said, “A protest area was established on Broad Street at Exchange Street, next to the stock exchange, but protesters elected not to use it.”) Mr. Mr.

'US protesters against rich one percent' US protesters are totally against the distribution of wealth and power among the minority in the country, the Occupied Wall Street Journal editor Arun Gupta tells Press TV. “There is no one single demand, we can say why people are there because they are all opposed to the extreme concentration of the wealth and power among the top one percent of the society,” he said in an exclusive interview with Press TV on Saturday. “It's a system of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich,” he added. “We need to get profit out of the system, not just the political system, but the economic system because if you make political changes, but leave the corporations in charge, they will slowly chip away at it and overwhelmed it,” Gupta said.
He also criticized the US government for “institutionalizing corruption and bribery.” “We call it campaign contributions and political donations,” he said. The protests which began in New York City have now spread to 847 other cities across the country. ☣ Tнє Tяцтн ☠ Occupy Wall Street rediscovers the radical imagination | David Graeber. Why are people occupying Wall Street? Why has the occupation – despite the latest police crackdown – sent out sparks across America, within days, inspiring hundreds of people to send pizzas, money, equipment and, now, to start their own movements called OccupyChicago, OccupyFlorida, in OccupyDenver or OccupyLA?
There are obvious reasons. We are watching the beginnings of the defiant self-assertion of a new generation of Americans, a generation who are looking forward to finishing their education with no jobs, no future, but still saddled with enormous and unforgivable debt. Most, I found, were of working-class or otherwise modest backgrounds, kids who did exactly what they were told they should: studied, got into college, and are now not just being punished for it, but humiliated – faced with a life of being treated as deadbeats, moral reprobates.
Is it really surprising they would like to have a word with the financial magnates who stole their future? Perhaps, it's not surprising. To those who Occupy: We stand with you. Restoring Tally.

Lisa Fithian said she's not part of any official group and that the “occupation” of Wall Street is the work of many people coming together with the same message. "Wall Street is certainly the heart of why we're here. She added that banks and the wealthy have taken money for their own interests and their own survival. “The people here are saying enough of that," said Fithian.
Inspired by events around the world, she drew the analogy to Tahrir Square in Egypt and said the power of the people is leading to change. "I'm here, I'm tweeting," said one protester. The protest was also being streamed live around the world, with at least 5,000 people watching the feed. Usw-supports-the-occupy-wall-street.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets of Manhattan's financial district on Saturday in a largely peaceful protest aimed at drawing attention to the role powerful financial interests played in wreaking havoc on America's economy. Modeled on the "Arab Spring" uprisings that swept through Egypt, Tunisia, Syria and other countries this year, Occupy Wall Street is a "leaderless resistance movement" orchestrated through Twitter, Facebook and other social media tools.
The Twitter hashtags #OccupyWallStreet and #TakeWallStreet lit up Saturday with coordination messages and solidarity tweets. (See CNNMoney's coverage in photos and tweets.) Activist magazine Adbusters spearheaded the event, putting the call out two months ago for participants in a Sept. 17 demonstration in lower Manhattan.

SO WHAT ARE OUR DEMANDS? ANTHONY BOLOGNA = GUILTY : Occupy Wall Street: 'Pepper-spray' officer named in Bush protest claim | World news. A senior New York police officer accused of pepper-spraying young women on the "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations is the subject of a pending legal action over his conduct at another protest in the city. The Guardian has learned that the officer, named by activists as deputy inspector Anthony Bologna, stands accused of false arrest and civil rights violations in a claim brought by a protester involved in the 2004 demonstrations at the Republican national convention. Then, 1,800 people were arrested during protests against the Iraq war and the policies of president George W Bush.
Alan Levine, a civil rights lawyer representing Post A Posr, a protester at the 2004 event, told the Guardian that he filed an action against Bologna and another officer, Tulio Camejo, in 2007. The case, filed at the New York Southern District Court, is expected to be heard next year. Levine said: "Police contend that Posr hit the man with a rolled-up newspaper.
