North Korea is the latest in the who’s who of global villains to support OWS. NorK state media approvingly reports:
Pyongyang, October 8 (KCNA) — Unprecedented demos are taking place in the United States these days in protest against exploitation and oppression by capital, shaking all fabrics of society.The first demo kicked off in Wall Street on Sept. 17. It has been going on for three consecutive weeks.
The demonstrators put up slogan “Let’s Occupy Wall Street”.
Young Americans formed a mainstream of the ranks of demonstrators at first. But they were joined by people from all walks of life who varied in their ages including day laborers, poor and unemployed Americans as well as employees of companies and housewives.
…The waves of demo which swept the U.S. recently is an expression of the grievances against the mounting social contradiction resulting from the worsening unemployment and the widening gap between the poor and the rich due to the serious economic crisis.
It also reflects the public opinion critical of the authorities and the exploiting classes who drove the country into such serious phase.
…Such protests as what is happening in the U.S. are expected to take place in other capitalist countries.
They are in the esteemed company of the American Nazi Party, the Communist Party USA, China, Hugo Chavez, and Iran. This country is running out of enemies that have yet to officially back #OWS (Fidel Castro and Al-Qaeda/Hamas/Hezbollah, I’m looking at you!).
Here is Iran’s Supreme Leader on the subject:
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed the US was now in a full blown crisis because its “corrupt foundation has been exposed to the American people”.
“They [the US government] may crack down on this movement but cannot uproot it,” Khamenei said. “Ultimately, it will grow so that it will bring down the capitalist system and the west.”
The Chinese Foreign Ministry, perhaps a bit more circumspect about the counterproductiveness of their endorsement, uses vaguely positive diplospeak:
“We feel that there are issues here that are worth pondering,” said Liu Weimin, a foreign ministry spokesman during a regular briefing in Beijing.
…but the domestic protests they allowed to occur, and even permitted to be reported in the Chinese media (although some versions were taken down), tell a clearer story:
Hundreds of residents of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan province rallied to support the movement of Occupy Wall Street in front of Labor People’s Cultural Center on October 6th.
Holding banners which wrote “Absolutely support the American people’s great ‘Occupy Wall Street revolution’”, people gathered and passed around flyers about the event happening in New York. They wore red armbands and showed their support to this movement. The demonstrators were consisted of workers, cadres of state-owned enterprise and some retirees. A cadre from a state-owned enterprise said “USA is so bad that it bullies any countries as it wishes. Bullying others with its rod of liberal democracy, it interferes with the internal affairs of other countries and overthrows the regimes of other. Now it’s time for pay back of its evil. The true colors of USA are coming out.” A young man who also took part in the rally analyzed the reason of the Occupy Wall Street movement that the capitalism had reached its end and the people in capitalist countries were woken up. Another middle-aged person from Shandong province gave his opinions that the socialism can save China, but also the world.
OWS is even more popular with the hardline factions in the Chinese Communist Party:
China’s new leftists – socialist critics of the country’s capitalist-style economic reforms – are beginning to lend support, declaring the [U.S.] demonstrations as a “great revolution” that sounds the death-knell for capitalism throughout the world.
The new leftists oppose what they view as Beijing’s “pro-capitalist and pro-U.S. policies” and “apparently see the U.S. protest movement as strong evidence in support of their faith.” (That would be faith in authoritarian government, not God or a Creator.) The primary website of China’s new leftists, called Utopia, includes prominent references to the “Wall StreetRevolution”, the “Death of Capitalism”, and praise for socialism and “Mao-style ideology”.
Hugo Chavez is also an OWS fan:
Not surprisingly, Chavez expressed solidarity with American activists who have been staging rallies and marches against what they view as corporate greed by Wall Street…
“This movement of popular outrage is expanding to 10 cities and the repression is horrible, I don’t know how many are in prison now,” Chavez said in comments at a political meeting in his Caracas presidential palace shown on state TV.
Domestically (thanks, Gateway Pundit!), we lead off with the Communist Party USA, an active participant in #OWS:
Southern California Party leader Arturo Cambron will share how the CPUSA and Young Communist League (YCL) are working in “Occupy Los Angeles.”
The movement is the newest wrinkle in the all-people’s upsurge against the banks and corporations and reflects a new level of class-consciousness.
While there is a wide range of political and ideological trends, there is a consensus against corporate greed, getting money out of politics, taxing the rich and putting people before profits.
A big challenge for the CPUSA and left, progressive movements is to link these demonstrations with the labor led all-people’s coalition and help deepen understanding that the path to progress must be through electoral and political action including defeating Republican Tea Party reaction in 2012.
Of primary importance is linking it with the burgeoning fight for jobs and especially passage of the American Jobs Act.
We can also play a role in offering more advanced programmatic ideas like nationalizing the banks and socialism.
…and finish the evil sandwich with an official statement from the American Nazi Party (Not going to link to them)
This issue is TAYLOR MADE for National Socialists, as well as WN who are serious about DOING SOMETHING – MORE – than shouting “racial slurs” and acting like “poster boys of hate” loons.
After all – JUST WHO – are the WALL STREET BANKERS? The vast majority are JEWS…And MORE and MORE people are AWARE of this truth, are not only NOT afraid to TALK ABOUT IT – they’re shouting it on WALL STREET!
I urgently URGE all of you to TAKE PART and JOIN IN when these protests hit your neck of the woods. Produce some flyers EXPLAINING the “JEW BANKER” influence – DON’T wear anything marking you as an “evil racist” – and GET OUT THERE and SPREAD the WORD!

I bet #OcuppySinuiju would go over well.
This goes well beyond “jumping the shark”: the OWSers are jumping the world’s school of sharks!
Who could have ever guessed that Communism would be so popular after having killed 100 million + people over the last century? People never learn…
If you were to say that to an #OWS protester, I’m sure he or she would say (with a straight face) that Capitalism has killed just as many, and kills millions every year by failing to distribute wealth, and thus food, shelter and medicine equally amongst those who need.
They have no concept of efficient economics. None at all.
Their woeful ignorance is what makes them dangerous, because unless you think the ideas through and you understand exactly why their populist nonsense is going to fail, some of them actually sound reasonable for a few seconds.
“Understanding their frustration” is going to be a big problem for Obama.
They already want to “kill and eat the rich”, “kill the bankers” and “run the jews out of the country”; so I’m guessing the next evolution is to start specifically listing the names of those that need to be eradicated, re-educated, or sacrificed?
Zibigniew Brzezinski was on MSNBC saying he thought it would be a good idea to publish the names of rich people who he thinks do not donate enough to charity.
I guess the idea is to shame the people who have been successful into voluntarily spreading their wealth. If they resist and don’t give away what he thinks is an appropriate amount of their wealth, then I guess the next step will be for the angry mobs to pay them an unfriendly visit.
At least he’s giving the rich an opportunity to atone for their sins of being successful. He didn’t call for beheadings in the public square, ala Robespierre. Yet.
Give it enough time and some easy-access technology like a computer and Google, and you will see them terrorize more than just the “1%-ers”… If they know how to use their brains, they will find out the names of all the people who make $200k + – and act on that knowledge!
They might be whining now, but give it enough time, and they will thirst for blood…
My advice to everyone here: don’t leave anything to chance. Be prepared. Look at what happened during the French and Russian Revolutions.
Charles Manson just gave his endorsement.
Pollster Douglas Schoen has come out with results of a small (I believe, 200) poll of OWS protesters. 31% of them say they support violence in advancing their agenda.
Of course they support violence. They’re the same nitwits who constantly riot at any sort of G8 or G20 meeting (anarchists, anti-capitalists, socialists, Maoists, Stalinists and neoliberal statists).
I’m actually surprised they’ve gone this long without rioting and looting. It IS coming. Just wait until they make a demand that isn’t capitulated to. I would suggest that every person who lives within a 2 block radius of Zuccotti Park ought to be out buying a shotgun and all the ammo they can get their hands on.
How about #WallStreetOwnsBararkObama (#WSOBO)? Motto could be, “Hey kids, we paid good money for Obama. Buy your own damn fool!”
good one! ha
Perfect! 😀
Wow ..If I had any doubt as to whether OWS was a bad thing… that list of supporters would finalize it. Now I know its a bad thing.
They are confusing cause and effect. Every system must be tempered with moderating behavior. In a free society, that action is processed through the conveyance and acceptance of moral knowledge, and the self-moderating behavior it engenders. In a left-wing (e.g., Marxist, communist, socialist, fascist, etc.) regime, it is executed through totalitarian policies, because totalitarian systems, by design, artificially and progressively limit the existence of competing interests. It is for this reason that left-wing regimes are fundamentally corrupt and are progressive failures. Then once the people recognize their individual dignity, they revolt against individuals who suffer from delusions of grandeur.
The root cause of the crisis in America is the failure of secular institutions — in their bid to replace traditional institutions — to convey the requisite moral knowledge in order to a sustain a free society. They have introduced totalitarian policies to displace moral knowledge, but people still operate on the premise that they have liberty. So, our system is neither tempered through moral knowledge nor totalitarian policies, as both are progressively ignored and ridiculed. The effects are exacerbated and the corruption is accelerated through a selective rule of law.
Not everyone is capable of living in a free society. Either America or Americans have been compromised. I would guess that both have occurred through interests within and without.
While waiting the a doctor’s office, I read the latest (dead tree) TIME. They seem to enjoy that OWS has higher favorability numbers than the Tea Party, but, of course, the OWS haven’t had weeks of 24/7 onslaught by the MSM calling them every possible ad hominem possible.
Also noticed that Joe Klein brings up the “new” Silent Majority, who just want everybody to just get along (and agree with the Democrats).
It’s nice to know that the American Nazi Party has decided to promote golfing and boating products (TaylorMade products creates golf equipment, Tailor Made produces fine boating products).
It’s TAILOR made, you mentally deficient twits. Tailor, as in someone who creates clothing to fit.
PS – “Occupy El Paso” (TX) has officially kicked off, and they are planning to take over the San Jacinto Plaza for 24 days. There were so few people there on the first day kick-off that it was pathetic. They did it right, though; they actually got a permit from the city.
The video footage of it on the evening news showed about 24 people yelling and waving crudely made signs, with a few sob-stories about how we had to have “universal health care,” “higher taxes on the rich” so that the poor could get better services, and how the “99%” are just getting by while the 1% take all the wealth out of the economy. If it wasn’t so obviously a statist PR attempt, it would be sad how little these “bleeding-hearts” know about economics.
It will be interesting to see if the protesters try to do something incredibly stupid. For those of you unfamiliar with El Paso, San Jacinto Plaza is literally across the street from the Chase Bank building and the Bank Of America building, both of which constantly have armed private security on-site 24/7. Even better, the County Courthouse and County Jail are 2 streets down and 3 streets over, so if they’re arrested, at least they won’t have to be driven far to be thrown into the slammer.
I’m the mayor o’ Possum Holler, NC, an’ we figger them Occupy folks’ll be along to th’ Holler sooner or later. That’s fine – we got sumpthin’ fer ’em awright. We put th’ coon hounds on half rations awready an’ sent Bobby Ray (he’s my cousin) down t’ Helms’ Ferry t’ fetch us back some rock salt. Sorta rearranges yer priorities for ye when yer hoppin’ around with salt in yer backside an’ a hound dawg or two latched to yer leg. THEN they’ll have sumpthin’ t’ protest, awright.
