Russell Simmons Moves To Get Hundreds Of Thousands More Protesters To Wall Street!

[stormy28latrecia]

that money goes right back on the card once a month....do your research

[capitalismforme]

Russell Simmons supported and financially profited from his alliance with Moammar Kaddafi and his sons. Fact. He's anit-American.

[MasterMaceFace]

If u really wanna ows close your bank accounts & stop paying taxes.

Russel Simmons is a multi hundred millionaire who made his millions by exploiting & robbing talent just like Puff Daddy the difference is Simmons is a smarter wolf in sheep skin.

This movement is real & doesn't need artist & shrewd business men showing up to exploit it for photo ops and future vh1/mtv/bet (viacom) interviews.

He should be booed. I would ask Simmons y does he make more money then the talent he signs?

[csgforme]

Beautiful cover up Martin..."your a businessman, but your also a citizen". Would anybody on the right be afforded the same gentle observation?

Russell is a money grabbing hack like the ones he protests.... Ever heard of "Rush Card"?. Look it up, that's his baby.  "the poor keep getting poorer", don't they Russell??? Hypocrite!

[coolman5242]

@csgforme Like you said you're, Russell is a bisunessman. He's doing the exact opposite of what the people want and abusing it to give himself some extra bucks.

[hikinit]

Russell is a fugging douchebag!

"Did I say something wrong?" - who is controlling him?

[StickySweater]

3:25 - "I think that corporate control of our government..."  [Producer: Don't say that you fool!]... "Did I say something wrong?" "Uh... it's the Republicans. Vote Obama Jobs bill. Eat the rich."

[roseagain2]

He is being fooled by Obama.

[isofaster]

during the french revolution , didn't the "commoners" behead the politicians and the rich ? i guess when the gap between rich and poor gets wide enough drastic things happen ...

[7667love]

beware of rich celeb trying to cash in on the protest. the devil comes in many forms. its funny how the rich find a way to get richer by pretending to give a shit about the poor. when the 15 minutes are up you won't see any of the mike moores or russ simmons no more. they'll be back at the ranch sitting in they're hot tubs.

[GNut1980]

@7667love lol i agree!

[shovelniron]

... don't his Phat Pharm clothes say "made in china"?.....probably made by a bunch of 5cent a day asian kid slave labor camp kids.... so much for being concerned about being fair as long as you have your $300,000,000 ...

[irrelevnt]

i like how he said 'descending' and not 'ascending' or 'moving onto' wallstreet.. wallstreet is lower than us :)

[EACH0NETEACH0NE]

OH DON'T FORGET TO PROTEST THE FED . DOES ANY ONE OF THE PROTESTER'S NO WHO THE HEAD OF THE FED IS ??

[irrelevnt]

@EACH0NETEACH0NE yes



[EACH0NETEACH0NE]

Goldman sachs should be protested and the ziobanksters . I bet if you asked most of the protesters who the head of goldman is they would not have a clue .

[amberfwn]

What's going on with this video? I hear 2 separate people talking and over lapping each other.

[EACH0NETEACH0NE]

RUSSEL SIMMONS KNOWS THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REPUBLICANS AND DEM'S . TO WING'S OF THE SAME BIRD..

[EACH0NETEACH0NE]

I DON'T LIKE MARTIN BASHILL : ^ \

[amberfwn]

@EACH0NETEACH0NE Is this the same Bashir who followed Michael Jackson around for awhile, spoke highly of him for 45 min. and then the rest of the 1.25 talked about him like a dog? I'll never forget that man, can't stand him. But there are two men with the same last name so I'm not sure if it's this one or not.

[EACH0NETEACH0NE]

@amberfwn It's the same lame . I don't care for him or hustle russell this whole movement has been infiltrated something like what happen to the tea party . controlled opposition . I live in new york city and my advice is stay away from this crap this has all been planed .Who is wall st ?? HOW CAN YOU PROTEST AGAINST A STREET ??

[TheWikkod]

Our democracy should not go to the lowest bid or the highest paid sponsor. It belongs to the American citizens of the United States.

[TheWikkod]

Wow Bashir really know how to twist a guy up. hahaha. Mr. Simmons is spot on by basically saying that we need a separation of the corporations from our democracy. We are the people not the corporate heads of these money giants. If it were not for our work, then these money giants would have nothing.

[33smojo]

End the MONETARY SYSTEM!

/watch?v=4mkRFCtl2MI

[curezec]

Your movement's been hijacked.

[azis1100]

So Simmons thinks Obama is helping poor people?

Obama "on the side of the people that are suffering"

Srsly? Maybe he should check out the Executive Orders he signed. j/s

FUCK SIMMONS, GD shill Alert!

[lspmd2]

Enter, hopefully, The Zeitgeist Movement and The Venus Project. This is one of those open doors the Universe is providing 4 us to mingle with these brothers and sisters. Good luck and VP HUGS - Mamma D :)

[wayneglobal]

The 16 trillion in bank loans from the fed in addition to TARP and quantitative easing are responsible for the fall of the dollar we've seen since 2008; An evaporation of American wealth. That money could have been used to pay off the debt of 14.7 trillion and stop the forclosures created by the mortgage backed securities exchange. Instead it went to the institutions responsible. Hey did not loan it back out. They used it to consolidate, to pay out bonuses, and to lobby against reform.

[wayneglobal]

The next collapse will be worse because the debt leverage has increased. Our national debt is over 14.7 trillion. In addition to TARP of over one trillion a preliminary audit of the fed showed that they secretly loaned out an additional 16 trillion dollars to us and foreign banks. That's 16 trillion plus TARP.

SIXTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS!!!

[wayneglobal]

There is no single focus point for the tea party, why can't the occupy wallstreet movement gather around a number of ideals. That seems more natural. I think the idea that the protests need to focus on a single demand is a talking point used to suggest that there is no common cause. In reality there is a common cause that wallstreet caused this problem and has been bailed out with no accountability. The lack of accountability will result in another collapse that will be worse.

[SJamesGray]

LOL, one top comment says End the Fed, the other says End Corporate Donations. This is exactly the division that Simmons is talking about. There needs to be some kind of focal point that the people can rally around. Without it, the protest will ultimately fail.

[Judy101101]

Russel Simmons is a good example of the greed problem the globe suffers from = the discussion needs to start looking at his level of bank account against those in 3rd world countries and ask how did this happen - the wealthy are causing poverty.  NON PROFITS sustains problems and most of his non profit work does just that sustains everything that is wrong - how do you get good people to see their own insanity?

[Judy101101]

@Judy101101 good to see Russel at least open up the discussion - he needs to see how he is involved in the problem to see the true solutions

[Judy101101]

@Judy101101 be careful - Russel is just loosing some of his potential profits if the lower class can't afford this STUFF. he might be using the lower class to solve only his problems but not the problems that cause poverty anywhere on this globe - good to see him show up to the table but he has to change his greed mentality - non profits are ALWAYS needed CAUSED by the greed who donates to it - it's their subconscious guilt at work

[LiquidSmooth]

I'm gonna make a video soon to really wake you people up. I'm sick of hearing about "freemasonry this", "Wall Street that" "Jew this".

There is an extreme manipulation going on. People feeding you sleeping pills and telling you they are Wake Up Pills.

Giuliani is the mayor of New York. Giuliani is CATHOLIC. This is about CATHOLICS telling you what to do.

Damn FBI is CATHOLIC. CIA is Headed by CATHOLICS. Supreme Court is CATHOLIC. Secretary of Defense is CATHOLIC.

[WildChildAlienFilms]

watch: america freedom to fascism on you tube or google videos to gain a deeper perspective of the deceptions laid upon the american people and then spread out internationally via the IMF, WTO and Bank of England attached to Wall Street Casino Manipulations that bankrupts nations, businesses and people...good on Russell for the courage to take this on!!!

[slewofdamascus]

Russell Simmons is a 33rd degree freemason, who is doing this to make sure that this issue is "properly" divided between left and right, because the left-right charade is the great mechanism of control in this country. Plain and simple.

[mouthpoker]

@slewofdamascus Do you have proof?

[slewofdamascus]

@mouthpoker proof? the proof is all around you. are you familiar with the hip hop "scenery"? hip hop (and popular music, in general) is a coven for the worship of lucifer through the practice of freemasonry. "russell" is a straight-up witch, fo sho, a high-ranking one at that. The deaths of michael jackson, tupac shakur, the notorious big, for example, or the recent death of amy winehouse, are all linked to the pacts that they made. You must be aware of the role of freemasonry in popular music?

[mouthpoker]

@slewofdamascus Yes, yes i am VERY educated on freemasonry and the luciferian worship connected and Russell definitely has an agenda, what i meant was how do you know he is that high of a freemason?

[slewofdamascus]

@mouthpoker oh, sorry.....we're lodge brothers. [smile] I'm guessing based upon his "success" and his "persona" within the satanic-controlled music industry. He probably isn't that high, although John Todd, based on his highly-detailed representation of freemasonry, claims that there are many levels above the "33rd" degree. About the [rock] music industry, Todd told of how they use the ritual process to infuse the master discs with a satanic "presence" which follows every copy made from it.

[jjcale1111]

@slewofdamascus Preach it brother!!

This guy is responsible for Rap and Hip Hop being derailed.

This is like the Republicans taking over the grass roots Tea Party.

[slewofdamascus]

@jjcale1111 well put - I couldn't agree more.

[limitedliabilitycorp]

@jjcale1111 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" @ GRASSROOTS TEA PARTY"

[FCKEVRY1]

New respect for Simmons...to add to the old respect I've had for years.

[Staticnz]

@SUCKITHARD02 America needs more socialism for the people, less socialism for the corporations.

Socialism is nothing more than a convenient talking point. You will say socialism is not the American way. Well, it is more the American way than corporate welfare.

[Staticnz]

Damn I thought it was RICHARD Simmons.  Now that would have been cool.

[R3V0Lution1O]

WE ARE DE 99%

EXPECT US

[rolovolo]

"Obama hasn't been owned by corporations"

haha!...good joke!

[rolovolo]

Occupy the Planet!



[FCKEVRY1]

@rolovolo I like you!

[IdidnotFartedIswear]

@SUCKITHARD02 So what. Socialist countries are way better than us right now. So much for a democracy

[FederalJacktube6]

This asshole wants higher taxes too so.......

[raiden409]

Make the rich pay the debt for back taxes!

[tf2cheats]

the beginning of the end

[ConsciouslyCreate211]

Only conscious hip hop artist need apply!!!!

[ADULTEDUCATION4U]

Hey Russell, Corporate control of government is called FASCISM...

[hasj2]

F you and your hip hop flip flop artists! we don't want your kind around this protest, that love rapping about hoes, b!tches, cars, money, that isnt the type of people these protesters want to be associated with. Honestly i don't mind Russell Simmons, he can string a sentence together, but no i do not want you Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross or whoever you can think of to come down here. The only musicians i would want there are the independent ones that talk about real things!

[zippyman818]

We need Christie for President like we need another President Taft!

I guess Clinton was the last "fat" President and now the guy's a goddamned Vegan!

If you're rich and can hire a dietician, chef and personal trainer; then sure, it's easy being Vegan!

Being Vegan as a student, rookie, intern or newbie to a given profession or vocation takes a lot more dedication and conviction.

I like Vegan recipes; I just add chicken to them!

[biggydx]

End Corporate Donations!

[TripleSpeak]

Wow, they can't even fit the grossly obese Pig Christie in the frame. Who'd trust someone w/so little self-control & no regard for their own health?

[zippyman818]

Mr. Simmons has been one of the beneficiaries of the disproportionate distribution of wealth. He was overpaid for his contribution to black face shuckin' and jivin' for the man and now expects poor folks to seek out enlightenment with none of the long green in their pocket.

Barnum & Bailey would blush at his blacker-than-thou hucksterism that he has promoted for decades to the disadvantage of his customers.

[veksink]

@zippyman818 wow, you really need to look up the history of def jam if you think they were shucking and jiving for the man, def jam is/was one of the most important record labels in hip hop history, yea they fell off at the end but that's when he left...

[TripleSpeak]

Either Simmons is as stupid as he sounds or he's working for the shyster 'bama campaign. Everything he said about Der Shyster is the opposite of what's happened in reality.

[DJAliasSin]

No he has not spoken for them!

[Cronie318]

Does this guy even know what he's talking about?

[ACORNSUCKS]

This commentator is worthless, does anyone know what the goal of these protests are? Do they think people are going to be more honest? It doesn't matter what "Wall Street" does, the protestors lives are still going to suck. Are they protesting a specific crime, or just bitching about something they really know nothing about. I think the latter.

[zippyman818]

Maybe Mr. Simmons can wave the fees and lower the interest rate on his RUSH CARD and let someone in on the "American Dream" for less $. Oh, I wonder if his pharmacy discount card is just as risky a financial instrument to own?

Simmons is a charlatan and a fake. He worships the almight dollar and doesn't give a shit about his fellow (negro) man.

[demonoid22271]

@dellbalboa who fucking cares if hes racist everyone is to some degree, he talks about real problems and that all that fucking matters. all u people bitch about small shit when he is thinking about the big things that r happening, go cry in a corner.

[LilSpankey93]

@dellbalboa I'll kick you square in the vag for spreading bullshit! Pow!

[mikheii]

WASHINGTON bailed out the corrupt ones. Don't like corrupt bankers? Go protest those who voted for TARP!

[ACORNSUCKS]

@mikheii Who is corrupt? Everyone who got bailout money? Are you sure? Speak in specfics. You can't, because you don't know what you're talking about.

[gangsta0524]

@justonemorename did you just listen to the interview? i dont think so, so shut up and stop assuming things

[fierorulz]

If you want to hurt the bankers and wall street pull your money out of the market and banks, stop feeding the beast. Vote for representatives, NOT career politicians!

[trademarc66]

This just shows how co-opted this movement is, kinda like the Tea Party...

[mattisava]

END THE FED!!!

All taxes are evil. We need freer markets

[gangsta0524]

@goonerLIFE1 taxes are needed! enough said. okay so you say you want a free market so let abolish all taxes, if we do that then that means there no revenue for a government to function, which means there is no one to uphold the laws, which means total anarchy & chaos. and well be right back at the same situation we're in now but instead of protesting for less government we will be praying for one

[goonerLIFE1]

@gangsta0524 i was just pissing off someone in the comments section . but yeah i do agree taxes are needed. but we should abolish the income tax. i fall more along the lines of ron pauls advocacy of exercise taxes and uniform taxes, which is more than enough. plus, no income tax would lead to a more prosperous market, more risk, thus more trade domestically and internationally. but overall u dont have to agree with everything ron paul says, just vote for him cuz he's literally the only hope

[goonerLIFE1]

All taxes are evil. We need freer markets

[capucchan8]

lol hey I'm I'm curious has Al Sharpton covered in his show the pepper spraying insident that took place over the weekend? and those pizza shops in Trenton are like no Chris don't run

cops defend their JOB not the people,if they tell you diferent,they are lieing. they defend their job just like we do. that is common sence

[nadoop]

Hustle Simmons haS been exploiting the black underclass for years. He's full of shit.

[simply2ghetto]

Just waiting for the Ron Paul tards to come on and say:

'All taxes are evil. We need freer markets.'

I will give it 10 minutes

[stonevrscx]

@simply2ghetto ?Ron Paul is your best bet!

[stonevrscx]

@simply2ghetto I did it in 2 minutes

[capucchan8]

@simply2ghetto yes everyone should follow Obama he has done wonderfull so far, that money given to Solarya was well spent, operation fast and furious was a resounding success, we were talking days and not weeks in Libya, and the summer of recovery has gotten the economy back on track

[WatchPolitician]

I wish I could be there but in summer 2012 I think NATO is coming here to Chicago.

[nadoop]

Hustle Simmons is part of the establishment. It seems to me as if this movement has already been hijacked by the Liberal establishment that has remained silent while Obama continued the work Bush and those before Bush. The tea party was hijacked, and now this movement. We're fucked.

[capucchan8]

@nadoop tell it like it is

[jag10]

Fuck yeah Russel... but, Republican 10-15x more? LoL

Obama, as lame as he is will out raise the entire Republican party.

[hou12396]

make us proud protestors

[sinlaael]

Occupy wall st!!!!!

[hellsunicorn]

One of the positive and probably under reported aspects of this Occupy Wall Street movement is that it is shining some much needed light on the local abuses of civil liberties going on in New York City under Michael Bloomberg, something that the media has done an excellent job of underplaying until recently.
