This is disinfo. Plain as day.
What I find remarkable is that there HAVe been some movements that have arised over the lastg 10 years that were somewhat easy to discredit. Try as hard as they might, OWS remains as purposeful now as it did when it started. And as hard as the monied right is trying hard to put them down, they cannot.
That's encouraging to hear. I know a number of folks whose defense contractor jobs have dried up in the last few months. They are your typical neocon/Tea Bagger types - retired military with a pension, likely a boatload of money in retirement accounts and regular savings/checking accounts. And the phuckers are taking unemployment money now. They are in their 50s and young 60s. I never took a dime from unemployment although on reflection I probably could have. Crap, I'm getting late for happy hour. I've got to support the local economy.
Fred & war, everyone talks about how this economy has hit minority and teens the worst but I only hear a few stories on how badly white middle aged men have faired under the "Great Recession". They have been kicked to the curb in favor of women who work for less money than men and are maybe seen as more compliant or less a threat to the upper male management (women won't take the male boss' job away from him as easily as a hard working male)? As I wrote above: The monied right (as war tagged them) put out this lie since Reagan that all we had to do was deregulate and cut govt and the income levels of everyone would rise up. 30 years later, we find the living standards of all but the top 1% shrunk and the promises they made failed to materialize and trickle down was a scam. When people realize their "gods" are false they tend to bring down the temples that housed the false idols. That is what the monied right is very afraid of. Because the "trickle down" talk is no longer registering with people - and this trend is growing - especially on the those hardest hit by this recession - middle ages white men - the so called prime GOP voting block. When more and more of those men who grew up under this Reaganomics fairy tale wake up and realize they have been lied to all their lives - I don't even know how bad the blow-back against the monied right will be by this demographic.
