  • Princeton. You it is probably their dads money he made on Wall Street paying for them to be there. I am certainly NOT amoung the 1% but I do have JP Morgan in my 401K and so do Half of the working population and it has been a very good performer. For smart people these students are pretty stupid.

  • Really? wait... really? Their classrooms are ugly... and that was rude

  • i can't believe everyone just sat there and let the child spiel for 2 minutes - if i was paying $60k to go to an ivy league business school and some moron tried to interrupt my chances of joining a prestigious banking firm, he'd be on the ground in 5 seconds. just like liberals to claim that only their interests deserve attention

  • WAY TO GO!

  • almost only chinese stayed in the room...lol

  • Impressive, great job Princeton

  • I attended an elite university, and believe me, it was a complete waste of money. $35,000/yr for recruitment advertisements from the fine folks at JP Morgan. Attend the cheapest state school you can and be proud! By the by, I made a compilation of the highest-profile mic checks Occupy has done. It's called "Occupy vs. Top 1%"--check it out.

  • and I might add -- fuck yeah!

  • Mindless children.

  • @mikebutler222 - Mindless comment.

  • @bstotts01 Enjoy your life as a member of a creepy, chanting crowd of know-nothings.

  • @mikebutler222 - Such a brilliant comment.  Did you stay up all night thinking of that one?

  • Once smart people know whats really going on they tend to fix those issues. The Occupy movement is world changing & unstoppable.

  • lol I love the look of shame on that guys face

  • 프린스턴의 모토는 "국민을 위해서 그리고 모든 국가의 국민을 위해서"이다.

    JP 모르간, 너의 행동은 우리의 모토를 어기고 있다. 너의 약탈적 대출 행위가 우리 경제를 망치는데 도움을 주고 있다.

    우린 너희 고위직의 보너스를 구제해 주었다. 그런데, 너희들은 우리 세금을 가져가면서 힘들게 살아가는 집주인들을 강제 철거했다. 너희들은 아팔라치아 산 꼭대기 제거 광산을 지원해서 우리의 생태적 미래를 파괴했다. 이런 행동으로 인해서, 이런 꼬일대로 꼬인 월스트리트를 특권적인 장래 직업으로서 눈가림하는 캠퍼스 문화에 반대한다. 우리는 여기 99%의 목소리로서 왔다. 그런 특권을 가지고 태어나지 못했다는 이유로 그들을 벌하는 시스템에서 배제되는 그런 99%의 목소리로 말이다. 우리에게 필요한 것은 1%를 위한 대학이 아니라, "국민을 위한"대학, 모든 국가의 국민을 위한 대학"이다. translated by 'iyaper'

  • HAHA. Look at that guys face... staring at the ground

  • Haha, the room emptied... good to see people are basically telling them to get lost with their agenda!

  • My father used to be on the board of directors of Chase Bank, a long time ago. He is not, because the writing was on the wall as to what they were to become, and wanted nothing to do with the scum it is comprised of now. Way to go kids. Stand up for what you believe in and stare down tyranny... this is the only way the people in these organizations will eventually learn that this society is mad as hell and not going to accept this sort of immoral behavior from their organization.

  • LOL, and most of those students will be, very shortly, working for various Wall Street firms......

  • @Moodamage Not entirely likely, as if one can afford to go to Princeton, they likely come from families that own businesses... They have options and do not have to become well paid slaves...

  • Ubber rich Prinseton kids ARE NOT part of the Occupy movement. Screw them. 

  • @FleaMarketPete With that attitude, you are entirely missing the idea of the "99" percent. We all are one. Those who chose to separate from humanity... well they are not. I am wealthy, I fly a private aircraft on a regular basis. Does this make me a bastard in your judgement, or are you merely covetous?

  • @tekdiveraz Agreed. Even the wealthy and hard working have a place in the 99% for we are HUMANITY!!!

  • @FleaMarketPete ANYONE WILLING TO STAND WITH YOU IS YOUR FRIEND! DO NOT REJECT ANY OFFER WITHOUT FIRSTLY BECOMING LESS IGNORANT! DO YOU THINK THE 99% CAN TRULY WIN WITH JUST A BUNCH OF SMELLY OUT OF WORK HIPPIES, HIPSTERS, COLLEGE KIDS, 30 SOMETHINGS, AND OLD PROTESTERS. The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend. If they dislike them, we welcome them.

  • @FleaMarketPete look to history before you write people off. The age of enlightenment came about because of rich people who gave a fuck about others.

  • Can someone tell me if the students participating in the "mic check" were in fact business students, or were they simply dressed in formal attire and made their way in discretely? I think it's fantastic when those from privilege take a conscious social and political stance. It really drives home the point. If the guy leading the mic check is indeed a business student, he has balls, and I respect him immensely for it. Who knows how such an action will affect his recruiting perspective.

  • In the Nation's Service, and in the service of All Nations?

    F^ck the nations. In the People's Service, and in the service of All People.

  • @UNagenda21biGBroTheR F^ck the nations indeed. Who cares about imaginary lines that separate brothers and sisters from each other?

  • @UNagenda21biGBroTheR this is WIN!

  • It is up to the people lucky enough to be highly educated to protect people form and expose the corruption that is rife globally especially in the financial and political systems. First educate yourself on these issues don't take someone else's word for it and the highlight the grievances and asymmetry of the system to others. good work.

  • well done.shame that there were quite a few uninformed that obviously stayed and listened to the JPM propaganda. its always the same, some people will always sell their souls to the devil. i would have liked to have seen them put some searching questions to the JPM cronies , although i doubt they would have responded and they would have probably been removed by security. keep up the fight people because i,m afraid they are going to have us at war soon to hide all their crimes.

  • Bravo Princeton students! Everywhere these bankers show up on college campuses they should be mic checked and shamed!

  • lending money on interest (usury) is a legal crime against humanity

  • thumbs up if you go to these for free food!

  • stupidest thing i've ever seen

  • I love the concept here but you'd be a lot more effective without the swimmy cam. Just set the thing down and let the event unfold before the camera.

  • Bravo les jeunes !

  • that was stupid, maybe they should have asked some questions or something, but all they did was whining, which amounted to nothing.

  • @MrBigEnchilada that also happened, but it is not included in this video.

  • @luvci22 they should have included it...so we get something out of it....

  • its good what they are saying. but i dont agree with this "brainwash" method, with it it is like you dont give them a chois and that is just as wrong as the religios or nationalistik groups that do this

  • And they get their student loans from these banks or from the endowment funded by the 1%. Geez and these are supposed to be intelligent kids.

  • wait a fucking minute, KFC delivers???

  • Comment removed

  • NewsFlash: The people working in Treasury Services at JPM are not the 1%. Try the IBD or S&T info session. Completely misdirected.

  • They did the right thing!

  • Comment removed

  • These kids are RIGHT!

    They have guts, balls, and honor.

    How easy is it to criticize what u clearly do not understand? Chances are, these brave youngsters are doing more than those who bitch about 'poor little rich kids.'

    They have the heart to stand up to the very ppl and companies who are crashing the economies of the WORLD, companies and ppl who are as responsible for as much mass death and despair as any Hitler or Stalin could be, and you have the audacity to condemn these kids from afar b/

  • poor little rich kids, rebelling against their own families and financial advisors is some serious self-loathing.

  • What a bunch of ungrateful little shits, 99% of these hipacrit ass princeton kids wouldnt be even in that school if mommy and daddy weren't making big money. Everyone in this classroom I ask you to do this world a favor and suicide yourself.

  • @Slayvemast0r "suicide yourself" thats something smart to say right there..... learn to write first

  • @andresbejar You understood what it meant though. So therefore your point is invalid. Suicide is the only option for ya.

  • @Slayvemast0r yeah i understood....i understood you are not able to write correctly, so go back to school, leart to write first before trying to look like a grownup and comment on big issues... these guys in princeton did the right thing and stood up for themselves and what they believe in....nothing you would understand of course, you cant even write

  • @andresbejar I have a GED, I'm 19 years old and I earn $68k a year after taxes. How about you and all these other worthless OWS kids either get a job, or all kill yourself because right now you're a burden on society. I got my job a year ago after a few days of searching. Obviously you're the one who needs to get better at life since I'm the one whose actually way better off than you.

  • @Slayvemast0r how the hell did YOU get a GED? good to see that you have a job since you're 18 and are earning thousands of bucks a year, but that is not the rule dude... i had a job, at BoA actually, but i quit a month ago... but nevermind, you stay with your $68k a year and your lame GED while people you call worthless work on things that actually matter

  • Comment removed

  • @Slayvemast0r actually, a lot of the people here don't have families in finance, and I know that a large portion of the school is on financial aid. You'd be surprised by the number of people currently at the university who don't have ties to the financial sector. It is true that a lot of the alumni work at investment firms, but there are plenty of people who come out of the university and work in different fields.

  • @Slayvemast0r ......really???...and you know this how??? Fact is that you don't. You really don't paint a very good picture of yourself while trying to belittle others.

  • @raytodd8155 These worthless kids belittled themselves.

  • @Slayvemast0r Oh I see, your causes are worthwhile why those that you disagree with aren't. That's the problem with society today, a terrible lack of tolerance. Are they affecting how you live??? I seriously doubt it.

  • Comment removed

  • @Slayvemast0r .....really not so bad as compared to those that lost their life during the tornado outbreaks this summer...or the 4400+ military who gave their life for this nation in Iraq now is it. Sounds like public transportation may be an answer to your dilemma.

  • @raytodd8155 What you just mentioned is completely irrelevant, but great, people die everyday it's a part of life and nobody forced those soldiers to go to Iraq. They signed up themselves. Public Transportation? I'm not paying $2.25 to sit with bums in a crowded train that is always late. No thanks, I'll stick to my 08 Cadillac CTS.

  • @Slayvemast0r LOL....now all that ride the subway are bums....you may not realized this, but this world isn't only about you. You belittle those that ride public transportation, you minimize the efforts of those that serve because they volunteer......I guess had I noticed your userID, it would've clued me in......you think way to much of yourself.

  • @raytodd8155 You're right I do think much of myself because I deserve everything I have and worked hard for it. Try it some time.

  • @Slayvemast0r You have no earthly idea what I do, or what I have so why make a fool of yourself and assume....and really, from what you've cared to share about those that ride public transportation, our volunteer military, or anyone who makes your like a tad unbearable, I could care less what you have. You've played your hand here and I doubt that most here aren't terribly impressed.

  • @raytodd8155 Okay you can stop riding my cock now. Goodbye.

  • keap doing the good work, !!! Occupy !!! the Netherlands here

  • God i just want to punch this idiot in the mouth

  • Too many desperate young punks stayed after.

  • I’m a little concerned; the man leading the others sounded like a priest.

  • 99% of OWS would beat the crap out of these 1%er kids.

  • @FleaMarketPete doubtful lol. But then again the 1% wouldnt engage in that...its not china or russia

  • The rest of Princeton will have less competition during the recruiting season.  Great.

  • LMAO these idiots should've gone to the i-banking or sales & trading info session not treasury services. Where are they gonna protest next, in front of BofA bank tellers?

  • Getting called out on irresponsible corporate behavior during a recruiting event is priceless. Way to get the Occupy message out there. Great work, occupiers!

  • Is this the 1%er's version of "slumming"? Afterward, the Princeton students ordered delivery from KFC, put on wife beaters, and wore their hats... BACKWARDS!

    Great job sticking it to JPM kids. Have fun at Harvard law and your future on K Street.

  • @FleaMarketPete What do you suggest that they do instead?

  • @grumpycheerleader Stop patronizing the middleclass….enjoy your winters in the islands and your summers in Europe, but please STOP insulting the 99%ers that are suffering.

  • @grumpycheerleader Yes @FleaMarketPete.  Inquiring minds want to know. Pray, tell us what they should do, as it is obvious that you know!

  • @FleaMarketPete KFC delivers now?!

  • @ThriveSkateboards not in the USA, but in other countries. I noticed KFC delivery mopeds when I was in the Dominican Republic.

  • The sad thing is that people working in treasury services are mostly, even right at the top, very much part of the 99%.

    They provide a real service that is required to keep main street banking running, probably one of the few services that JPmorgan provide that is beneficial to main street.

    Yet, these people ride in on their high horse and record their dramatic, attention grabbing actions to put on YouTube, pretending to represent the '99%' whilst publicly humiliating the very people that is in

  • Most of you weasels denigrating these students are just mad your bonuses were 3% less than last year even though you added no value to your company and lost billions of dollars...you students here have made Princeton proud...we look forward to seeing moreof your gutsy acts.

  • power to the people.

  • Okay, JPMC may be called the 1% in all possibilities, but the Treasury and Securities Services business featured in the video isn't even Wall Street. It's in fact Main Street finance, people! That business provides basic financial/banking services such as direct deposit, wire transfer, and check writing related stuff, etc. I'm just to clarify this.

  • I am a recent Princeton grad. These kids are idiots plain and simple. It is absolutely ridiculous that they say there should be no school for the 1%. That is exactly what Princeton is meant to be: a school for the top 1% smartest, brightest, most talented, richest, most elite students. Their parents fked them up bad.

  • What a bunch of morons. This is the fruits of the "youth soccer, everyone is a winner" generation. Of course what makes capitalism so great is that these idiots protest about not having money, and the more they protest, the longer they will not have money, because the rest of us are out working and getting paid while those idiots play homeless in a park and chant. Go occupy a job losers.

  • Fuck Harvard. It's all about Princeton.

  • What a bunch of mindless tools. Drones for the progressive movement. Easily brainwashed, molded, and later disposed of once the Think Progress/Soros groups are done with them. They don't represent the 99%, they don't even represent 1% of Americans. They are mostly made up of spoiled little rich kids who didn't like being told that they would have to earn respect and a living for themselves. How pathetic and sad for our nation's youth for being so gullible.

  • @SultanOfShinola What a "mindless" comment...perhaps you would be more comfortable watching FOX for your "news".

    Thank God for our nation's youth, especially the Occupiers who see the corruption rampant in our system and dare to call it out every step of the way. I am so proud of them! They are doing what my generation failed to do and I applaud them all.

  • @pandorableone All my news comes from the Internet, not corporate driven propaganda. You probably get your news from Comedy Central. And there is no honor in what these mindless drones do. They are selfish, greedy, incompetent, lazy, spoiled, entitlement-minded, disrespectful, little idiots that are in for a rude awakening when they wake up to the real world. Get a job, some responsibility, and pay taxes for over 20 years and you would understand. You must be an artist.

  • @SultanOfShinola Your assumptions prove you don't have your facts straight. I'm 54, employed in corporate marketing, and have been paying taxes for more than 30 years, I know wherefore I speak, having researched BOTH sides of the issue. You, on the other hand, make assumptions about that which you know naught. BTW, most Occupiers ARE employed and see the real world for what it is, and find it lacking on multiple level thanks to our lobbyist driven rule of law. So do I.

  • @pandorableone Well, I can't argue with ignorance. Have a nice rest of you miserable life!

  • @pandorableone LOL...way to go!!!!! I just love those that assume don't you?....that belittle those that don't agree with their ideology. I'm not understanding how the Occupiers are making those like SultanOfShinola's life so miserable that they would react like fools.

  • This is retarded.

  • @tk4227 As is your astute observation...

  • The KGB have a name for these kids. (Useful Idiots)

  • These stupid kids criticize the banks that gave them the loans that paid for the brainwashing they got from corrupt teachers who's only goal in life is to exploit the stupid kids in their schools. Brilliant

  • lazy rich kids, a bunch of greedy elites, next they will squeal JP Morgan will not hire them. How sad and embarrassing for the country to have these type of people....

  • so lame. Its hard to believe that Princeton has been reduced to a bunch of lazy liberals that recite what their "leader" says. In a few years they will find they wasted a great education on degrees in activism and procrastination.

    MIC CHECK - I am a mindless drone, I wasted my education, I hope my career isnt holding signs and interupting others. I hope I can sue my liberal profesor to pay for my student loans.

  • Yeah, Princeton University definitely represents the 99%

  • @MrBdub24 Princeton university has one of the best financial aid sysytem of any prestigious college. The ones in this video oppose wall street and bankers; that's a good thing. It's not their fault they got into a college which is hard to get into. It kind of sucks that you are alienating people from "your" movement.

  • It's so refreshing to see young people exercise their first amendment right to make asses of themselves. I wonder if any of those kids still maintain JPMorgan Chase accounts, or if any of them are considering a career in banking.

  • I truly hope that these young people who pulled this off are students of this Ivy league institution. I won't say the name but i work for a major financial institution like JP and even i know in my gut there is something not right about the current system. it gives me hope when i see that even those who are, how shall i say, well positioned to be successful in the future still stand up where there is injustice

  • Bravo.

  • Independent senator Bernie Sanders wants and has asked for amendment to constitution, election finance to make it clear that corporation are is NOT a person so they can’t give money to any ones campaign or for corporation/business to just buy adds for or against some politician. I would add the max any one could donate to 10% of medium income I don’t like the way bought congress. The only way for it to get any traction is for all of us to write your congress people repeatedly once a month.

  • Either it's sincere, or they.ve all been mind controlled. The Institute of Advanced Studies helped create MK-Ultra with the Paperclip Nazi's and other lovely things before that. HEAVY 1% element there that owns the place. Do they have a 'Skull&Bones' equivalent there?

  • @Rjjackknife pretty sure most people at princeton are in the 1% or at least will be in the future with that degree (not a bad thing)

  • uhhh...rude? why not just work hard, do whatever you like, and stop pointing fingers at people?

  • Way too cool

  • Loved this video! Half of the people there walked out after the mic-check... Nice job! Keep it up and they will eventually HAVE to listen.

    Here's a better idea, though... Everyone needs to take out as much money as they can from the banking system. The less they have to play with, the less damage they can do.

  • Get a clue

  • Notice that all the Asians stayed and laughed 

  • Loved this. We created a video response we'd love for you to see. Bankers hate being called out. :)

  • @CheapShotsComedy loved it!

  • Thanks, Love it!

  • hahaha i love this man great thank you

  • Whatever you say only such jobs can make Indians proud of their children and be slaves to Jews.

  • Get money, get paid, alright we cool, we cool.

  • You couldn't even memorize your own speech? Pathetic.... We used to memorize 2-minute book reports every month in 5th grade!

  • Leave right when they start the BS motor up. Nice.

  • love and light :) dont play the new generation for fools

  • Their expressions where priceless! Wished i could have been there.

  • good kids!! proud of you!!

  • Fantastic. Less competition :P

  • @Xarxos Yeah but you gotta love how ballsy that was and the dipshit feeling the nerd girl right infront of the camera must have felt

  • this generation is pathetic. i guarantee you all these protesting idiots would spend money on indulging themselves before spending a cent on a person truly in need....

  • @scrum7 Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely

  • @scrum7 Maybe people get older and forgets everything they used to fight for when they were younger. It's very disappointing.

  • @scrum7 So would you

  • @scrum7 dear scrum, I am sorry you think with you wallet. What will you become when your wallet is emptied by the gov in bed with wall street? You may be sorry at that point of no return to any human dignity. JP Morgan is manipulating the metals market. Corzine just totaled all accounts with global. Will he join Bernie Madof or walk scott free? Do some homework before you pass such harsh judgements on those who are at least trying to fix this mess we are in. This generation is truth.

  • The younger generation finally grew a pair of balls and tits.

  • Why Arabic ?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • This Is way better than Watting T.V. anyday! lol.. we are the 99%!

  • What about occupying a job?

  • @JohnRhysMusician These are Princeton students, they will not be in wont of a job when they graduate, the choice is, do we stick our brightest minds in the finance sector to work for the privatized global casino? Or do we put them to work building a brighter future for our nation and all nations?

  • @gffrbrm Finance is a good career path even if you choose to do other things. Finance is highly competitive. Only a small amount of students attending these conferences will ultimately be recruited into the program and an even smaller fraction of those will continue on as "bankers for life".

  • @JohnRhysMusician Is that all you have to say? Are you joking? I never quite understand when people post anonymously, or yell out while driving by in their cars. It's a big joke right? Please tell me because I have serious concerns whether some people will ever regain their ability to think for themselves. You do realize most occupiers have jobs, go to college, or are retired. Like 80% Please stop making yourself sound so stupid, and in public.

  • @terry4O My point is these students are trying to occupy a job, while the "Occupiers" are just being disruptive and disrespectful.

  • @JohnRhysMusician Would you hire these losers and whiners?

  • @DarrelfromZeeland Yes.  And I'm an Entrepreneur - not a paper pusher so I can honestly answer that question. Give me a thinker over a automaton any day of the week.

  • @JohnRhysMusician

    Hey, catcalling snidely for employment is ignorantly glossing over the unassailable truth of this movement. They are not perfect, the movement has poor examples and unemployed examples. But guess what? there are 14 million unemployed, most of them sitting on their asses at home. THEY should go occupy something worthwhile - and YOU should understand the world is not painted in black and white absolutes. This is MUCH bigger than 'Damn, I want a job.'

  • @JohnRhysMusician

    Ummmm the vast majority of Occupy protestors are employed with only 15% unemployed. Read the facts, faggot.

  • That...is...awesome

  • look at those fuckin scabs staying behind

  • @liefur Thank you guys so much, very proud.

  • "We are here today as a voice for the 99% shut out by a system that punishes them just for being born without privilege."

    This is at PRINCETON. This made me cry. I am so proud of these young men and women.

  • Next we need to drag these shitting Wall Street terrorists and traitors out of their mansions, offices, and limos and in to the streets where they're given fair trials in the streets.

  • @MakesMeAngry The Wall Street terrorists and traitors are the occupiers.

  • Great Job guys and gals!!

    Solidarity from Riverside!

  • Well done you guys, bold for a first action.

  • I don't care how prudent your message is, that human mic shit is annoying

  • @EdwardSapp and your voice is in your wallet?  What will you say when it is emptied by the scoundrels on Wall Street and our beloved gov officials?

  • 1:02 Arabic?? .........

  • LOL they got asked to leave the room by morgan LOL

  • @pringle959 You don't REALLY believe they intended on staying do you.

  • wow thats awkward

  • why is the human mic necessary? you're in a room, not zucotti park...
