Steven Navarro at Occupy Charlotte - Don't get co-opted!

[PatriotWatchUSA]

The only thing he is right about is you are nowhere near the 99%. You will never be the 99% because you are a left wing group who is looking to tear down the Amercan way of life. Tea Party members DO NOT buy into rob the rich to create your perfect world. That is not freedom but slavery for those who work. WE are tired of paying public employee retirement. PARTY IS OVER OWS and you all will learn math soon. YOU cannot TAX your way to freedom

[PatriotWatchUSA]

The "students are so happy whats happening in middle east" that was such a crock of shid. Those people are more represt today than they were before Obama stirred the pot. Keep aligning yourselves with the Nanacy Pelosi and Michael Moores of the world and than say you are a nuetral group

[KingKushBlunted]

I want to offer my services for the greater good of man kind. If you could get back to me my good sir that would be wonderful.

[KingKushBlunted]

Hey Steven my name is Johnathan and every day from monday to thursday i walk by the old city hall where the occupy charlotte protesters are. I first of want to say i admire you and all the people who dedicate them selves and there lives for this movement. I was wondering if there is any way i can join. I dont have much to provide in the means of supplies, but i do have ideas, and i am also curios as to what the group speaks about? is there any way i can stop by and introduce my self?

[texaswoodsmith]

@scumgod13 THEY topple democracies, murder political rivals on foreign soil, torture men convicted of nothing, restrict consitutional rights in the name of safety and security, surrender our currency to private banks, and give our money to the most greedy and corrupt as a reward for THEIR failures. They have shown us what they want and what they can take. Let us show them what we want and what we can take. Your are right brother. It is time to shed fear and wipe the dust from our rifles...

[texaswoodsmith]

@scumgod13 Yes, we have made reasonable demands of our government, but they have not been met. Many have seen the signs, but THEY ignored our warnings. When the consequences of THEIR actions burden us even further, they lie, twist, & eloquetly speak. THEY tax every action a free man would take. They spill our blood on foreign shores for WHAT? THEY rob us by devaluing our currency. THEY tax us beyond our ability to produce through THEIR spending. They destroy our free market with trade "policy".

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@texaswoodsmith TEXAS go find a Tea Party. You are standing with the wrong group. THESE people are all about taxing the crap out of you till your blind. You don't get it yet. OWS might start a revolution my friend but they will be fighting other Americans. They will be fighting me. The true Patriots of this country. They want to tax the crap out of the guy you live next to who has bsted his ass his whole life. What do u think the guy next to you will do if these people get the OBAMA way?

[texaswoodsmith]

@PatriotWatchUSA The illegal wars WILL stop. Congress alone WILL coin money, not the Federal Reserve. Political lobbyism (bribery) WILL stop. The Patriot Act & the NDAA WILL be repealed. Nafta/Gatt WILL be reigned in to provide competative atmospheres for US industry. Our soveriegnty WILL NOT be shared with the UN, et al. The Federal Gov. WILL restrain itself to the specific & enumerated powers. The States WILL enjoy the 10th Amend. Or, their WILL be revolution. Ron Paul 2012!

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@texaswoodsmith OWS is a progressive group. PERIOD. They share very little with Ron Paul. That is my oint. If you want to hang with Ron Paul people find a Tea Party. Only afew OWS people will vote Paul. The majority will vote Obama or Hillary if she slides in there. I do NOT need a Paul lecture from you my friend. Ive been following him for a long time. BELIEVE me Paul and OWS have very little in common.

[texaswoodsmith]

@PatriotWatchUSA Listen Brother, I wish you & the Tea Party luck. But, I know there is not a lick of discernable difference between Democrats and the Republicans. "Left" and "Right" is an illusion. If I we want ANY change we must sway the minds of the men who control the means. WOW, that would be Goldman Sachs, et.al. And, Ron Paul WOULD agree with that. There is no hope left in the vote. All that we have now is violent revolution. I am neither Liberal(D) nor Conservative(R).

[scumgod13]

We had a Hippie rainbow gathering here in the Smokey Mountains. I didn't go but I'm glad. Everyone caught Dysentery. Unfortunately the Hippies were defecating in there Drinking water. I did However go up for the Clean Up. Took 100's of people over 4 days to clean up what these so called naturalist left. i was in high school and went with a group of friends, went as much to party and meet girls as I did to clean but at least we did it.

[yukiomishima246]

Idiot! He said the French Revolution put in Napoleon.

At that point, I stopped listening to this jerk.

But he also mentioned he is part of the "Rainbow Gathering." A real nut job group, dedicated to anti-capitalism and utopianism. Utopianism has caused more horror and death in the 20th century than any other way of thinking.

Whack-job nut case.

[h82sk8]

@yukiomishima246 You are full of accusations and NO information to prove otherwise. You must be a liberal and/or delusional.

-

It's a common FACT, that the French Revolution ended with a Military Dictatorship and the rise of Napoleon.

-

If you stopped listening to him after this then how did you see the section on the Rainbow Gathering? I was at a Grateful Dead gathering for 7days in Seattle. You must be thinking I also love pot and acid right? Then I would tell you I was working at the event.

[LibCon00]

this movement is backwards, it's the public sector we should be protesting not the private sector! The public sector is bankrupting western countries, exactly what happened to Greece, their welfare state and bloated public sector have destroyed their country, in greece you retire before 60, you get 14 months of benefits per annum after retirement or on benefits, you get paid 14 months of salary per annum (public servants work 5 1/2 months of the year) no wonder the are collapsing

[JawsJaws]

President Obama called Wall Street bankers “fat cats” and says he's a "warrior" for the middle class. The numbers show who he's really fighting for. Under Obama, Wall Street has generated over $85 billion in profits in 2.5 years. Under Bush, they generated $77 billion for the entire 8 years he was in office. Obama has also received more 2012 campaign donations from the “fat cats” than all GOP candidates combined. "LIKE" if you think Obama is a "fat cat" in disguise, not a warrior for the middle

[SilverRedIndigo]

Our demonstrations in Israel were quickly co-opted.

Please see my video:

To Occupy Everywhere: Don't Forget CHILD TRAFFICKING

[finditherefirst]

Thank you Steve!

[benknefelkamp]

steven, most of what you say is not true. Politics (from Greek πολιτικός, "of, for, or relating to citizens")

[stevenavarro]

@benknefelkamp If I got to redo a part of the presentation, I would have articulated POLITICS as "the adjudication of power", then said the whole "who rules over who" thing. See, a lot of young people think just because you write a law, good things always come from it. Not really the "dangerous servant and a fearful master" government sentiment of our first president. Please tell me how "most of what I say is not true", and watch the economics class - its all REAL information and no propaganda.

[teknomage2012]

In Support of Occupy Portland (Wall Street) whole neighborhoods set up tents on their lawns today. Spread the news, set up a tent on your lawn to show support. Time to audit the PRIVATE federal reserve, fire them, and print our own money as a nation in solidarity!

[stevenavarro]

@teknomage2012 I'd rather have government not be able to print at all, but you're on the right track. Ron Paul is saying we shouldn't even pay interest debt we have to the FED, which makes sense because they created it out of this air. The reason I don't want Government to be able to print is because that is how they finance wars.

[teknomage2012]

@stevenavarro I can concur with that, i would be down with dropping the bad idea of money all together if we could become a global family who takes care of itself, because it is the right thing to do - rather than sitting on our butts because there is no remuneration in it!!!

I need little for my happiness.

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@stevenavarro You OWS sheep should stop using Ron Paul name. You are on opposite ends of the political world. Ron Paul is for small government. OWS is for large. Ron Paul is for LOW tax. OWS is for HIGH tax. Ron Paul holds government responsible and OWS holds bsiness and bankers responsible. Ron Paul is for FREEDOM and OWS is for progressive slavery. Nobody owns Ron Paul and OWS is FULLY paid for by Obama and Richard Trumpkin. "SOLIDARITY FORVER" left wing nut jobs

[Chandleresque]

Ah! The great old If-you-are-not-with-us-then-yo­u-are-communist trick. I'm not going to fall for that one. Why is your video the first in the 'occupy' query that are reserved for sponsored video? Who's sponsoring you? You are the one who's trying to co-opt the Occupation.

[stevenavarro]

@Chandleresque I wouldn't rubricate it quite that way... It was an anti-war message. And, I encourage deliberation - did you even read my video description? This is from a class on economics, and it's all real information - no propaganda. I describe the housing bubble, because if you don't understand WHY it happened, you can't really begin to address the problems we have. Please check it out, and THEN rip me apart.

[tobacco13]

If you voted for Bush then you voted for war And the roman empire didnt have the internet

[stevenavarro]

@tobacco13 Oh, if there were any misunderstandings - I didn't vote for #43.

[littleleekeater]

Most genocide in Kosovo was against the Christian Serbs, not the Muslims. You Tube /watch?v=7HPJVv89F2g NATO is run by Nazi war criminals, CIA, MI-6, and other nations' spy services. NATO is murdering civilians & many children in Libya at this moment. Napoleon, although he co-opted the Revolution, didn't start the wars: the royalists' Council of Nations did. 1917 Revolution was bloodless: the invasions by 18 nations killed millions. Anyone who worked for NATO is better kept at arms' length.

[stevenavarro]

@littleleekeater Well, I was 22 at the time, and not really part of any Nazi conspiracy. No, most of the genocide wasn't against Christian Serbs. In the end of my tour, however, I was protecting Serbian churches (they were the ethnic minority in Kosovo, and now THEY needed protection) from Molotov cocktails by Muslims. And I am VERY against Obama's actions in Libya. We don't even need to be in NATO anymore. It's an alliance looking for a mission.

[Cheshhire]

But the greedy govs and corps dont want that to change it would mean they would not be elites anymore but equals and they think they are gods and they actually believe it. They dont want that false vision of themselves to go away and conform them to a man. They want to believe they are gods. If they did not and they were flexible and we all worked together we would have no starving or homeless. I am not talking about utopia I am talking about the simple solution do you not get it people?

[stevenavarro]

@Cheshhire Yep. We should have 3 day workweeks by now, with all of our technology. Nobody should go wanting. The elites are the problem, and it's not just a distribution problem. The world is SO complex that nobody can plan it. It is so stupid that they even try to.

[Cheshhire]

@stevenavarro Very good man there is only one way to make it right and that would be to follow Gods laws so yes this complexity is not getting better because people choose to believe their way is the best. I am glad to see people trying to get some of that good back there are some simple things that can change but greedy people don't want that change they want the whole bbq not just their own plate.

[Cheshhire]

Wow forget about the big picture here? I think there all idiots on all sides and all the world. Obviously it would be easy and sensible to completely do everything a different way but we continue as usual down the worng path that leads to BS chat and useless youtube videos and crappy governments and we will until the day God comes because the obvious is obviously too hard too see and too simple to handle. In reality it would be easy to fix all problems almost in the world.

[stevenavarro]

@Cheshhire We aren't going to change the world with youtube videos, that's for sure. But one of all of us might have a good idea that spreads to the whole country - that's an exciting prospect. Just notice how few videos I have uploaded before the protests began in the streets, and you can guess at how vain I am in this regard. I mean, it tokk protests in the street for me to upload stuff. Of course our problems are easy to fix - it's just the embedded interests we need to worry about.

[Symbiont5]

At the 07:54-07:56 he lies telling everyone he has never instructed teenagers assembled at a gather for OCCUPY wall st., AKA/Protests, AKA/"Days of Rage.

[stevenavarro]

@Symbiont5 Nah, I wouldn't have as many "ums" if I had spoken more before. Check out my next clip on the housing bubble. It's all real information, and no propaganda.

[STEVEDIGIBOYtv]

Good to see critical analysis,

Chanting Revolution and robot echo speaking scares the shit out of 70% of people that try to join including survivors of Mao.

LOL! it will be a squat going the GA handbook route imo and observation.

[stevenavarro]

@STEVEDIGIBOYtv I agree with you on the robot echo. Yes, there is a purpose for it, if you don't have a noise permit. It scares me a lot, those slogans.

[2ndSinner]

Even tough i'm not completely agreeing with your statements (like the fed who IS ONE OF THE BIG PROBLEMS, take my advise and study the deppresion and the year 1913 when the fed was born...you'll soon find out the scheme cause right now? history's just repeating, at a bigger scale that is)...thumbs up brother, thumbs up! nice to see you also taking action because like all off us your sick of it, we're with you!

[stevenavarro]

@2ndSinner Oh, this video was just good enough and suitable for upload - I went on, and today I'm uploading some more of it. The FED is the problem. No wars without it.

[2ndSinner]

@stevenavarro, exactly, the fed is the problem, this monetary system is the problem! Keep uploading and keep educating ;)

[texaswoodsmith]

I like you brother. We gotta get past this Left/Right paradigm. Our division and separation is OUR enemies greatest strength. It was created by the man anyway. There is only right and wrong. And, none of us are always right. I really, really know that we all want the same thing. Peace, freedom, equality, justice.....

[stevenavarro]

@texaswoodsmith I'll have to make a video about it, but I like how they have many more political parties in Sweden. So you can vote pro-war democrat, or anti-war republican. The people would have voted against the wars by now and we would have solved these problems already.

[yukiomishima246]

@texaswoodsmith

Take a good look at this guy's REAL agenda.  He is a revolutionary radical who wants to overthrow our way of life. Nut case. Have you read "True Believer?" This guy is one that Hoffer described.

[texaswoodsmith]

@yukiomishima246 I've not read this book. But, It does sound interesting already. Could you tell me a little about it?

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@texaswoodsmith OWS does not want freedom and I don't mean to break up your LOVE session here but OWS is fully paid for by UNIONS and the OBAMA wrecking crew. Your from Texas you should know better

[texaswoodsmith]

@PatriotWatchUSA I know that brother. But, we still gotta get past this Left/Right paradigm. We still gotta get connected. This bit is about "not" getting co-opted when the whole thing is a co-op. But, likewise, I'm not going to be co-opted by the bullshit alledged Conservative Republicans. Left and Right is an illusion. Each side plays us like a puppet master. We gotta find common ground and understand that our enemy is one and the same...

[PatriotWatchUSA]

@texaswoodsmith I'm folowing you but rubbing up against OWS doesnt help the cause. I'm a registered Independent with conservative values because they work. I will not vote for Romney if that helps you with my position. OWS has NO idea who the enemy. If they did they would be out of the ports and parks and at our elected officials locations. For the unions to send three idiots to yell my Michelle B is speaking is stupid. Go to congress, go to the White House, go to your eected officials homes

[psa637]

Where's the rest of this event. Thank you, Steven. I get it. I'm spreading the word, AND I want to hear more from you!

[stevenavarro]

@psa637 Thanks! I am new to the uploading stuff, but I promise you the content is solid. Some of it is mine, some is Peter Schiff (I referenced him on the handout), Tom Woods, and other bright communicators. The metaphor of the black plague was all mine, though. It reflects the broadness of my intellectual journey. Ran out of batteries eventually, though.

[lfish34]

Police policy actually allows for the breaking of bones to break up civil disobedience. If they don't do that, it's usually because of the bad publicity. Not because you're in America.

[stevenavarro]

@lfish34 Oh, I agree with you. We simply wouldn't tolerate it here, or if we did it in other countries.

[stevenavarro]

@lfish34 Oh, thats exactly what I meant, though. In other countries, the don't really care about bad publicity. The Soviets for instance, hid explosives in childrens toys to win in Afghanistan. Our people wouldn't accept that, and that is always why you have lies about "smart bombs" and stuff, so we will accept killing people abroad.
