The Leaderless Protest....

[FrenchieCat]

I was just discussing the OWS protest with my FB group, and one person made a statement that I agree with.

He said.....

The beauty of the "TAKE OVER WALL ST" protest is that it is a "LEADERLESS" movement. In other words, there is not one single person that is the face of it. In this way the Right Wing propaganda machine has no one to focus its venom. Limbaugh, Hanity and the rest of the pimps of propaganda are at a loss to get someone to target. In this way, the protest is pure patriotism.

Conceptually, this is genius!

Those people who have been interviewed have been well coached on speaking points, and point to no one leader of this protest. Whoever came up with this is brilliant!

5. In that regard it has some similarity to Al-Queda. And ONLY in that regard

I am in no way suggesting that OWS shares anything else with AQ.

Only that the leaderless-ness is brilliant in that it makes it harder to attack.

6. Does that mean the PTB are planning predator drone attacks?

Successfully taking out an endless string of second and third in commands.

7. Interesting point. And that makes the frequent "concern" from some

that the president hasn't endorsed it that much more irrelevant.

I don't think Obama needs to endorse this. From what I've seen, the OWS protestors aren't all that interested in having the president endorse it. I don't blame them.

It is a grass roots movement that is alive and organic and is growing all by itself. While supportive words from the president might make attendees feel good (and he has given supportive words) I don't think that anyone truly believe they are even the slightest bit necessary. They are protesting something that they believe in. That's really the only thing that matters.
