Naomi Klein: Occupy Wall Street cannot be Co-opted

[Seaworldexists]

Its sad someone so simplistic can make a living as an 'intellectual'.

[Reido2828]

Noami Klein could die and burn in the lowest parts of hell. I support the movement but fuck that two sided ideological driven bitch and all her followers.

Keystone Pipeline

By decreasing regulations that give us clean air, healthy environment etc, Libertarians will allow powerful corporations to run roughshod over everything.

With Ron Paul's position on the environment, he will leave the community holding the toxic bag.

The four basic defects of Free-market environmentalism:

1.overexploitation of common property resources

2.overpollution

3.too little pollution cleanup

4.overconsumption

marxist whore

[FreeMarketCap]

Is it o.k. when the protestors hurt people? Is it o.k. to hurt the elderly and children at the Washington Center on November 4?

[onlythewise1]

@FreeMarketCap its ok when an ass talks like you on you tube and continues to talk shit over and over and over while thousands kids die in car accdients drown every years why dont you do somehting like make cars safer and write to your congress senator and some one beside talk like a dumb ass

[FreeMarketCap]

[TheUnlimitedlou]

Naomi Klein looks foxy in this vid.

[onlythewise1]

seventy five percent of the usa people are criminal and thats why this wont work why the tea party didnt work everybody out for themsleves

[rhodium1233]

On another note I love this channel keep up the good work Sammy boy!

[rhodium1233]

No one talks about natural gas when it comes to environmental issues and i wonder why....it's now a accepted fact that natural gas, although clean burning, has far greater implications to the environment then can even begin to be imagined.

[CrazyCrackerCat]

lol

[STEVEDIGIBOYtv]

The whole hand signal INSOC crossed arms and pyramid protest sign is so commercial and cause huge mob peer pressure. Worse than a silent vote and dangerous to start fights among protesters. OWS is packaged and exclusive despite it's GA bible rules. I want people to get justice but OWS looks like a cult to many.

[onlythewise1]

its the people in the system, it not the system its the people

[STEVEDIGIBOYtv]

@onlythewise1 It needs to demand criminal charges to change corruption. It is getting Mao like cultish in vancouver and a few US citizens pushing the whole general assembly process. Robot chanting scares 40% of the public and that will result in a OWS epic fail then outburst like a kid I bet.

[onlythewise1]

@STEVEDIGIBOYtv yes but people need to remember you need to keep a watchful eye on all greed and what hurts things, its not the system its the people in the system. it has always been that way

[JackTiger9]

Climate Change is NWO bullshit to strip money from the West, impose a global tax, and divert the money to the NWO.

[JackTiger9]

Learn to use Google. End Zionism now! End the AIPAC lobby.

[RandomShellAccount]

Naomi, love you, but the OWS is undergoing some SERIOUS co-opting by the extreme left.

Communist Party of USA joined in with Occupy Chicago. Lots of news footage coming out about Socialist groups making secret decisions and General Assemblies. Someone needs to fill the vacuum and the Socialists are very smart and cunning.

More to come, be advised.

[mowgli2071]

@RandomShellAccount: The communists joined OWS? Oh, gasp, shock, shudder, THEN THE COMMUNISTS MIGHT HELP GET THE PLUTOCRATS OUT OF POWER! We can't be having that, can we?!

[RandomShellAccount]

@mowgli2071 Yep, and everytime the PLUTOCRATS get out of power, there's always some Communist parasite (their evil cousin so to speak" that comes along to help fill that vacuum.

Communists to the Left of me, Fascists to the Right......do dee do dee do do do.

[mowgli2071]

@RandomShellAccount: Plutocracy is rule by the rich. Your charecterization of communist as any sort of their cousins, evil or otherwise, is false. You've been swallowing too much teabagger bullshit.

[RandomShellAccount]

@mowgli2071

1) I'm not a "Tea Bagger"...

2) Communism was CREATED by Bankers.

3) Read a book

[mowgli2071]

@RandomShellAccount: nothing you've said in any way negartes what I said:

1. My statement was: you've swallowed too much teabagger bullshit. And if you think it matters who started communism, you definitely have. Btw, I never once mentioned bankers.

2. As I said, plutocracy equals rule by the rich. Your indirect equation of bankers=rich is correct, in that bankers are part of the rich. But it still remains that your characterization is false.

3. Read the posts you are responding to.

[Mojo3192]

They are trying to co-opt it watch this. watch?v=4SuzJJ0qOu8

[thefreedomlass]

MARIO SAVIO FOREVER! We know how we can STOP the odious machine so we just need to get on with it NOW before our opponents even have time to figure out their next move. We need to wake up to the endless possibilities of the whys and wherefores...to be the CLEAR CONSCIENCE of TRUTH that will crystallize our hopes and dreams --- enact our VISION of a better world. A REVOLUTION of the MIND must come before ACTION!

[danco35]

No one is investigating the Wall Street bankers and traders that have made these huge profits. Why? Eric Holder, why?

Because the White House is just as corrupt as Wall Street. This administration is feeding the Wall Street greed so they will have an enemy to blame for the economic downfall.

You are being duped by this administration and the radical leftists, because if there was a legit investigation, it would implicate the White House as an accessory.

[enemy2k10]

@danco35 Radical leftists? LOL Radical leftists do not support the White House or Obama.

[danco35]

@enemy2k10 - Ron Bloom, Anita Dunn (Mao follower), Van Jones (self-avowed communist), Valerie Jarrett (ties with Frank Marshal Davis - communist), Carol Browner, Cass Sunstien, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Labor unions and leaders, such as Richard Trumka, Andy Stern, Stephen Lerner. The most famous billionaire - destroyer of free countries, George Soros. Bill Ayers and Bernie Dorn, and the approval of the Communist Party of the USA.

Ya,,,right,,,no radicals here.

[RandomShellAccount]

@danco35 You should take that list and post it to every OWS video to get the word out.

I've been watching behind the scenes too. At first I thought all the talk about Co-opting was just rumor, but the vids and stories from credible people are coming out.

[onlythewise1]

@danco35 99% of all our governement is corrupt including the courts and lawyers

[KingDingaLing090]

@onlythewise1 Tru dat hommie. (bumps)

(trying to be hip)

[beltonism]

Naomi Klein... booo you dishonest cow!

[truthout911]

What a dtupid woman

[luchpockets]

Stand up America... No one is allowed to by our Government, it is not for sale !

Those who buy or sell our government , are creating an act of treason against our country !

[nh3cntrls]

Go Naomi Klein lets protest an oil pipeline so you can then protest high oil prices

[AmericanBadass44]

Stupid assholes

[smartmarzipan]

"Wealthy Americans who benefit hugely from a system rigged in their favor react with hysteria to anyone who points out just how rigged the system is." ~Krugman

What's sad is the some of you, the 99 percent, have become negative and hysterical against this movement, as well. Are you not angry about what is happening in this country? This isn't a group of hippies just waving signs...it's so much more. Just take the time to look.

[nobama6]

You people are morons. These hippies running around want something for nothing, and have no clear goal other than "fight the man", and "eat the rich." I've never been so embarrassed for so many...

[automan1238]

EVERYONE LOOK AT HOW THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO CO-OPT THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT!! DON'T LET THEM HIJACK IT!!!!

[TOTCD]

*sigh* Still don't know what the goal of these protests are *sigh*

[beltonism]

@TOTCD Monetary reform for one? No sane person can support the private money creation machinery of the FED and other centralbank-like banking casinos.

[TOTCD]

@beltonism I really can't stand it when people have certain views.

And they come out saying " no sane person " just because they don't agree with certain things.

I mean come on. You sound like an extremist saying that.

And you will immediately lose the majority of the public.

I think the glass steagal act should be passed again.

And we should do campaign reform.

And have more transparency in the FED.

But more than that isn't the way to go if you ask me.

[beltonism]

@TOTCD Extremist? What on earth are those persons that actually has succeeded to superimpose the world population under a system where the bare trust is used to back up it's existence. No transparency is enough. The control of quantity is sovereignity. It must be taken back from these institutions. I will never agree with private institutions which we are slaves under. What is their next move to keep them up? Go facist? Where's you integrity?

[pjamesbda]

Thanks Sam, for interviewing Naomi. She has so much perspective on this, you could do an hour or more just on her. (if you could get her) She is so on point, she is Canadian's best. We need to find Naomi Wolf too. She has a genuine set of insights to share too.

[kgdies]

Occupy Wall Street, the world is watching you are in the belly of the beast and change will only come by your hand.

Canada supports you in this battle to end the FED and restore you once great republic.

[BLUEHIPPO47]

All my love and respect to the Wall Street protesters...from here in the UK.

[Aiden057]

Sam, et al, I appreciate you doing these on-the-street segments, great content, but your audio person needs to correct the impedence mismatch, the sound is distorted. Tell him or her to match Line to Line or Mc to Mic. -- he or she should get that.

[concord327]

nice for freddie highmore to show up. :) good message though

[grendelkatt]

till now ,I didn't realize how much Allison looks like my mom...(ok, years ago)

[pakau]

if this protest.. is only to vote for obama again or any other presidente... instead of changing the system intirely .... we are gonna be screwed.. and we will have to wait 3 more years for somehting to change again.

[amyntazoe]

Love Naomi Klein!

[Boomer1949]

Plus when the politicians go down there, they aren't allowed to give any speech, only to participate in the march...

[ToTheConquered]

Go get 'em Sam!

[xadam2dudex]

the US needs a general strike across the country to send the corporate wealthy elite a message "the slaves will not stand for it anymore" ...like what Mario Savio said in his speech at UC@B on Sproul Hall steps in1966 "...to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!""

[techcafe]

@xadam2dudex

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" ~ Mario Savio

[techcafe]

/watch?v=J_C3yoxTSEk

[xadam2dudex]

@techcafe yep.. great speech in so few words..he should get some sort of award for it

[onlythewise1]

@techcafe well quotes dont do much of anything except sound nice

[techcafe]

@onlythewise1 - fair point. but on the other hand, if inspirational quotes & speeches can help young people find their voices and embolden them to take a stand against the corporate fascists and war profiteers that have hijacked our democracy, then i say bring on the cheesy speeches. whatever will get people out into the streets, demanding justice and overthrow of the corporatocracy and criminal bankers is a good thing, for all of us.

[onlythewise1]

@techcafe true get people going but words dont do much, we passed up words long time ago it action or die now. this is a win for the people the occupy, the bad keep pushing until they hera people wont take any more, its a shame that pukes hide behind there excuses and make up shit so they wont do anything. millins died to make usa a good country let pukes benefit and do nothing but put people down so they can make money just like the one percent. wise people see through the bad 25% are bad.
