More of That Famous American Fascism - Occupy Wall Street Hearing at NYSA

[defpow]

THE MOST IGNORANT PERSONS TO EVER LIVE IN AMERICA...OWS PROTESTORS DON'T EVER TO DESERVE TO LIVE AND WHEN THE TRUE 99% HAVE HAD ENOUGH LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PREVENT THE BRUTALITY THAT IS LIKELY COMING TO THEM.

[lleuwelyn]

The reporter obviously doesnt even know the meaning of the word "fascism".

Keep on drumming guys :)

[CinimodMG]

what an incredibly waste of time.

[Kroganist]

KEEP DRUMMING

[ceounicom]

"Herein lies some of the confusion"....

Oh, ya think?  Really, it was all a problem with the *process*, not the actual idea...

[ceounicom]

Is anyone else aghast that these people dress up their idiocy in bureaucratic legalese, and no one thinks it ridiculous? The New York State Assembly is listening to a guy bemoan his committees inability to get 'good neighbor' policies agreed on, or draw clear-cut lines 'when drumming is supposed to happen'.... They're like the worst kind of Big State Government in microcosm! They can't do ANYTHING effectively. 'General Committee'? Meet your future! Feckless bureaucrats! The NYSA!

[IIXairII]

Anyone else see the guy in the monkey suit trying to hold back his laughter at 4:25? XD

[free2notpay4you]

@KaiserJames, Then don't try to enslave me further by making me pay for YOUR health care, YOUR welfare, YOUR list of entitlements. How is that fair?

[KaiserJames]

It's called Corporatism or Corporate Fascism. There is no free American capitalism anymore. The Corporations control EVERYTHING now, even the GOVERNMENT! You are all slaves and you don't even know it. ;(

[PeoplesGeneral]

@towerclimber37 Library of Congress or Wikipedia, fact is it's still written by someone else.

No Shit sherlock.

I wouldn't know about Oakland other than the Agent Provocateurs or just a sub-group of angst-ridden individuals in the Occupy movement who decided to get violent.

I live in New York City where the Occupy movement began and we haven't gone violent nor vandalized anything. Then again, the NYPD is not the one shooting Tear Gas Canisters and Flashbangs at protesters, unlike OaklandPD.

[Truelove6]

Terrorists negotiations?

[PeoplesGeneral]

@towerclimber37 Duh! You talked about "revolutions", hence why I placed the Industrial one in there.

And it was still not an armed revolution in the Philippines, especially when the Philippine military began to side with the dissident Filipino people. Do you remember that one?

And whatever you know about George Washington was something your read from someone's version of it in a book.

[4limitedgovt]

It's amazing how many people are willing to give up their freedom for having their selfish coveting of material goods fulfilled. The ruling class makes free markets impossible, and then blame free markets when unemployment and inflation skyrocket. Stupid. OWS, go talk to your ruling class Marxists in Washington, D.C. if you don't like how things are. It's their fault, Republicans and Democrats alike.

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 Thats the bad things one side might do but I dont condone the tear gas being thrown on innocent people the beatings and force of fear on the people either as right. If this is not the way to do it then tell me how is the way because obviously nothing else is working and making the filthy feds get out of greed mode.

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 In the end my friend had a good lawyer that he had to spend more money on but he won the case. So banks are robbing people and hoping they wont fight back. Why do house reps have a full check after serving just one term I wish I had a retirement like that where the people paid my rich lifestyle and I dont have to do nothing. Oh and not to mention they dont even have to fallow the same laws that we the people do. Poor rich people only pay 15% tax we try to help those poor rich.

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 Damn straight I am a part of the 99% not the 1%. Yes the OWS are doing the right thing. Let me tell you a little story a personal experience. A bank sold my friends house mortgage to another bank called chase bank. They never told them that and they were sending the money to the old bank. So many months down the line chase calls them up telling them you never paid us for 6 months. So they had to pay a phenominal amount of interrest on top of the mortgage.

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 The only thing I see about you is a little child that makes up fairytales in is head to suit his ego. I bet your not a little child though.:)

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 I would not doubt it the way you communists run America these days. Im sure you love martial law. Thats ok people like you only have this short little life here and thats it for you enjoy it while you got it.:)

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 Unlike you I already know I can not see in to the future and am wise enough to know that no one can. So as for your reunion goes you can stick it up your ass and spin it while I am drinking fresh coconut juice and eating mangos I picked from my yard.

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 Just like a slanderer that creates gossip in his head to make himself feel better about his tinyness well guess what my man. I have 2 houses paid cash for one n the US and one on a tropical paradise island where I am at now and will be through the winter you speak of here that I will not be there and I still work not for but with my boss who is my friend that owns a corporation. He is not like you though he marches with all those hippies I guess hes a hippie too.

[Omnicronimous]

NRO Rules! Thank you for exposing the useful idiots.

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 By the way my point has been made several times and I have given links as well you keep running in a circle of self righteousness and that is called insanity and gets one no where. Goodbye I have no time for gossiper slanderers and self righteous fools that refuse to even learn the truth. Enjoy your little indoor life.

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 Ahh the Hitler analogy? Although all that you have said here is made up in your head and you so want to be right whether or not your wrong you still persist making confusing comments that get no one anywhere. Sorry but the drums are the least of my concerns. Like I said old bitter man or young spoiled useless boy because I know your not a real working man go and get a life and some REAL education before you allow your butt hole to crap out useless nonsense. Hilter analogy lol.

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 Yeah I will be sure to tell the idiot Veterans and Soldiers that are at Occupy Wall Street. Glad life is just peachy for you but I don't think it is otherwise you would not be sitting here on youtube talking to me. I really am sure you are just a hater and I am sure if you had any knowledge of why people all over the world are doing the same you would see in a different light otherwise you really are messed up and you really must be related to Hitler some how in some way.

[Cheshhire]

@Cheshhire By the way tell the one you tried to stick up for the kat girl it's well passed 9 days and it has just gotten bigger.

[GlassAgate]

First they beat their drums,

then comes the gas chambers.

It's a natural progression, people!

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 Look guy I dont't believe you have a clue what's going on in the world all you want to do is piss and moan at someone if you knew what the fight was all about you certainly would not be arguing on the asses behalves unless you yourself are one of the 1% devil's weak minded employees. Look up on the net what the ralley is for before you put it down. You know that the feds wont even allow us to audit them like every other agency. Look for this name Bernanke. Get some real knowlegde

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 I don't practice the things you practice. So you piss in your boots is that what you are saying and then you poor it out without instructions on the heel so you are smart because of that is this what you are aying? No interrest in that at all. What she said makes sense to you and Hitler. You love how things are in the world these days and you just want it like that. You have to be a total self indulged hermit.

[PeoplesGeneral]

@towerclimber37 Armies in those times from Russian Cossacks fighting Napoleon's Grand Army, to the British Soldiers fighting the American Revolutionaries, all had drummers as well as trumpeters to pace their infantry's marching and signal combat maneuvers.

Grab a history book!

And not all revolutions need to have armed combat and bloodshed. Filipinos ousted their dictator Ferdinand Marcos in the 1980s without war, and the "Industrial Revolution" wasn't a shooting war last time I checked.

[Cheshhire]

@towerclimber37 You sure you can handle those big words? Hell as long as it annoys the rich blind dumb fucks I am glad. Yeah you are right though it would be better if we used real weapons. Good thing not all the rich are as blindly lead as you.

[patriotsblade]

@towerclimber37

Psst. Check your history. American revolutionary soldiers played drums on the battlefield. Including those led by George Washington.

[RCrooklyn]

Since all of the National Review vids dealing with OWS are mocking that movement, I'm assuming. The title of this clip and the description are simply snark. 

I expected to see a firebreathing Jerry Rubin type ranting about American fascism. Instead, this young man seems very articulate, not at all "self-indulgent."

[isartam]

Reminds me when a student at a university I attended established a Pigeon Liberation Front to protect pigeons from being chased off from a particular building, completely on a lark (so to speak). He was rather surprised to be taken seriously by the big Chicago newspapers. Are these people sincere or they just putting everyone (or at least the simpleminded) on?

[basicwil]

General assembly = TOOLS

[thhhegame33]

Seriously. Why can't we get these hippies out of here.? This is getting ridiculous. Where is Eric Cartman when you need him?

[EricCartman718]

@thhhegame33 - I'm working on the Hippie Digger!

[darklighter1]

I'd go with, "the self-indulgence of OWS knows no bounds".

[sullivan912]

@darklighter1 I'd go with "the self-indulgence of Wall Street knows no bounds"

[darklighter1]

@sullivan912 you can if you want...but you'd be wrong. ;-)

[sullivan912]

@darklighter1 On the contrary, I think it just about sums up the selfish assholes who brought us fraudulent gambling methods such as CDOs and mortgage-backed securities.

[heiligcomp]

FYI People are reading all of the open minded comments and skipping over the close minded comments ,So you are you talking to ? !!!

[ringospictures]

A couple of water cannons would take care of the entire problem in less than 5 minutes.

[IKeepRight]

It would be hilarious if a group of bagpipers infiltrated OWS and played their bagpipes incessantly

[tapolna]

So what they guy said that was so important, ",.... we will control what you do, when you do it, where you do it, because others might enjoy what you do ...."

Sound extremely RIGHT-WING or in other words FASCIST to me;

Fascist societies don't like protestors, or people speaking out.

Fascist societies just want you to FOLLOW THE LEADER.

You know it's like the people who follow the wishes of the Koch Bros. oil tycoons in the Tea Party.

[RJordan0220]

@tapolna I'm not sure WTF your talking about, but if I'd be pissed if some jerkoffs were drumming outside my house while my kids were taking a nap or I was trying to study. It's called having some respect for other people.

[sirmailbox]

I fail to see what this has to do with fascism, unless the uploader was being sarcastic. Notice the nature of decision making by the OWS protesters--it's horizontal and democratic, and totally transparent, based upon consensus building. That's quite the opposite of fascism.

[exmarine66]

@sirmailbox Quite the opposite of fascism. Except that it ain't. Because the only "concensus" being developed here is among the OccupyWallStreeters themselves.

[stinky125]

SNL couldn't do a better job...!!! BRAVO

[thinkslaughter]

Democrats are spoiled rotten rich white morons....please let them revolt, please...i cant wait to sort that out.

[kyler187]

They need to get Eric Cartman to police up occupy wall street. He knows how to deal with filthy hippies forming drum circles in public places lol.

[Aeschylus]

@kyler187 He could try, but I'm not sure how much respect these people have for authoriteh.

[llainfactor]

Learn double bass and gravity blasts then u can drum

[llainfactor]

Breaking laws "peacefully" and then resisting arrest doesn't make you peaceful.

[Cheshhire]

@llainfactor Unlawful arrests and beatings on people doesn't make the police peaceful.

[Cheshhire]

@llainfactor Besides I dont believe there is room for peace anymore. I hate to say it but unless the gov and the house and the banks fall down crying saying we are so sorry and we resign which they wont the only way to take back America is to take down the greedy out of control money mongering egotistic fools.

[OgallalaKnowhow]

@llainfactor

Do you define breaking the law as violence? How else could peacefully resisting arrest be described as not peaceful?

[llainfactor]

@OgallalaKnowhow there are lots of ways to break the law, violence is one of them. peacefully resisting arrest can not be described as peaceful, it's an oxymoron. I'm saying the protestors are trying to play the brutality card, but you are being arrested, you have to stop running, pulling, fighting, etc. and put your hands behind your back or you are gunna get your ass taken down, hopefully hard.

[OgallalaKnowhow]

@llainfactor

"peacefully resisting arrest can not be described as peaceful, it's an oxymoron."

You are confusing persons with the state. You can only be violent to life. To say that breaking the law (resisting arrest) is violence is to say that the state is your father and you should respect him. Its an absurdity. Unfortunately, most people do think this way and believe that violence against their father should be punished with violence in kind, hence your hope for people getting it 'hard'.

[C2ARNY85]

Are we not missing the point here?

[TheGreatNighthawker]

Legally, those protestor could arm themselves. As long as they are peaceful there is sweet dick all the state of NY can do about it since the constitution trumps any state laws. I wonder how badly they would squak then?

[thinkslaughter]

@TheGreatNighthawker the protesters are armed...with stupidity, ignorance and HATE.

[TheGreatNighthawker]

@thinkslaughter Sadly, I fear it is not enough.

[TheGreatNighthawker]

I suppose if you don't like it, you could always go fuck yourself. Protests are legal as long as they are peaceful. I don't recall seeing any time restrictions in the constitution.

[Cheshhire]

Guys you are holding a protest and it needs to be a revolution eventually don't waste your time listening to them tell you when to play drums just play them any time the only people you annoy are the ones you SHOULD BE annoying.

[Cheshhire]

@Cheshhire That would be the trash people that don't support making things better the ones complaining gosh the drums are too loud gosh people why don't you just accept the hell you live in and let us rich live in peace gosh why. It's a good thing not all rich are a tiny minded as the whiners complaining about people trying to get a good economy back.

[TheGreatNighthawker]

@Cheshhire Damn straight.

[kittenagogo28]

I wonder if these losers realize that their little general assembly means nothing. YOU ARE NOT RUNNING YOUR OWN LITTLE SOCIETY! YOU ANNOY PEOPLE! YOU ARE DIRTY AND LOUD AND SHITTING ON DOORSTEPS!  Go home! The whole world isn't watching you, they are MOCKING YOU! Criminals have now infiltrated your little Lord of the Flies experience and you are now no better than the homeless. I hope you get infested with lice and scabies. Normal people know what idiots you are. You will be embarrassed.

[Cheshhire]

@kittenagogo28 Wow sounds like what the rich did to the 99% shitting on our doorsteps.

[kittenagogo28]

@Cheshhire Boy I hope you have your tin foil hat strapped on hard. No one is going to be doing ANYTHING but mocking you in 9 days (just a guess on this betting woman's radar). You are just a bunch of unauthorized campers who didn't learn the first time you voted for bama. We just want to know what you want. You know Cuba already exists and if you don't like it here, you can go there right? If just one of you anti-capitalism losers would choose a country we would surely chip in to send you.

[Cheshhire]

@kittenagogo28 Who are you hitlers daughter or something get a life nothing you said here sounds educated at all. You have to be anti-capitalism to know that the banks robbed us to know that the house gets a shitload of our cash to live on. Wake up corporate slave smell the coffee.

[Dash277]

If someone were making noise every night keeping me up, I would be going out of my mind. A reckoning is coming, I am sure. And btw where are the cops and mayor to crack down on this crap?

[RCrooklyn]

@Dash277 They've never played past ten. I'm not a huge fan of the drumming, but no one is seriously contending that it goes on that late. The issue is that it goes on a lot during the day, about 4 hours. To be fair, that is a VERY loud area, especially with the World Trade Center construction going 24/7. The residents are exaggerating the extent of the drumming, as well as the supposed sex parties, and so on (which I'm pretty sure are not going on).

[caraclaudel]

These OWS people are so selfish and annoying. Imagine living next to this occupation. I like city noise and commotion, but I'd go crazy listening to people banging on drums right outside my window for several hours every day.

[Cheshhire]

@caraclaudel Not me I would go and help them.

[dano1881]

Dear NRO: Please go back to the video format you used to have on your website whereby one could obtain a link to a particular video and fwd it on to others. Since you re-did your site, there is no way to link to your videos. there have been probably a hundred times where i saw one of your videos and wanted to fwd to someone else but couldn't. and there's no way i'm going to tell someone 'go to the nro website, scroll halfway down, look on the right side, maybe the vid will still be there."thanks

[GOPsithlord]

A long and contentious debate to limit...taxing poor...no, no we're discussing important things like drumming. Destined to fail, guys. Big time.

[RCrooklyn]

@GOPsithlord FYI, this was from an NYC Community Board meeting. The demonstrators came of their own accord to try and smooth things over with their neighbors. Those meetings are dreadfully boring by definition. The usual order of business is small neighborhood issues, dog runs in parks, trash collection, etc. Regardless of what your feelings on OWS are, the young man in this video seems no worse than any community board attendee.

[TrenchReport1]

This is The Onion News Network right?

[WilliamTravisFocker]

LOL the poor folks at 4:20 look like they're gnawing their lips trying not to laugh

[zosoholeh]

To anyone who may watch this video and misunderstand the title, its sarcastic. Its playing on the beliefs on a woman in a past interview who believed that America was filled with Nazis. I encourage all to watch that video as it will make this one make more sense.
