I swear some of the threads here would be the same if you stuck a couple of meth heads in a room together with a pound of drugs and came back 72 hours later. They'd be talking about how you have to watch out for the light bulbs because in the 1800's the Illuminati took over the light bulb industry and they're now putting listening devices into them. Oh, and of course some guy would have proof about it because he knows of a youtube video, or russian news source that verifies it.

Listen to the ex intel guy talking on the video above

?We have 22 per cent unemployment and on our way to 30 per cent. We are 16 per cent below the poverty line and on our way to 30 per cent. There is no question in my mind that this is going to be a very dark winter in the United States,? he stated. ?Unless the government restores its own integrity and starts paying attention to the public interest rather than to the special interests, I believe that we will have a form of revolution, initially non-violent, but with the potential to become violent,? he added.

Fury over corporate power in the US is spreading from New York across the country. Thousands have joined the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement, angered by the economic slump that may lead to a revolution in the country.


Despite the fact that ?Occupy Wall Street? protesters have raised everything from lack of jobs to global warming, there is a common cause uniting the activists, Steele believes.

?These are not stupid people. They are very smart and they understand that at root this is about corruption in government and corruption on Wall Street,? he explained. ?And until you have electoral reform, you cannot restore the integrity of US government. So there is a common cause, but it is voiced in many different ways,? he maintained.

The protest started out peacefully, but now it is the third week and more than 700 people have been arrested on Brooklyn Bridge. And according to Steele, the NYC police have on the one hand been very well-managed and on the other hand have gotten out of control at lower levels.

?My personal hope is that the general non-violent strike will be used to force the issue of electoral reform,? he concluded.

10,000/350,000,000=.000028%
or a number too small to be relevant.
If the media wasn't lying about how big the movement is and giving them so much face time on TV, they'd be gone already.
