  • I am part of the 1%... the 1% of people that has fought for this country. I am not rich either, but I will never be apart of this, so this cannot be the 99% because polls only say you have 40% (rounded up) in your corner.

  • why dont you kids get jobs DUH winey btiches you wont accomplish any thing run for goverment if you wanna change shit you guys are gonna choke on tear gas

  • My friend is a farmer and he works from dawn to dusk and he's a millionaire...he works for his money so because he's wealthy our problem are his fault...WOW...GET a job protesters there plenty jobs out there..you all are scared of hard work!!! you don't want to sweat! Oh yeah and my friend has a degree in Agriculture. I hope you know when they increase taxes on the rich the farmers are among the rich so think about food prices!!!!! IDIOTS

  • when the money becomes worth wiping your butt with...your farmer will lose everything and all his hard work will have been for nothing. Engage your brain, please

    

  • @TheExcalibar Can i ask the crop he grows and what region?

  • @TheExcalibar I think you're totally missing the point. Nobody is against indepenant hardworking successful farmers making a living except maybe Monsanto. Stop watching mainstream media because your're not quite getting it.

  • they fail to understand that if the government taxes corporations they off set those taxes by charging us in sales tax...

  • I'm here because it's more fun than WORKING and I'm looking for more freebies from the government.

  • Watch Min 2:24 all these folk are in line to help one man....Cedric the entertainer....ever since the economy took a shit he's been out of work....poor guy hangingmout of walgreens trying to make people laugh...not one thing in his interview made me laugh....comon america hel Cedric

  • None of these people explain why Oakland? There's no 1% there to protest against. You are demonstrating in an empty arena.

  • @jujubmuse It's a worldwide movement now, stop scraping the bottom fo the barrel to fulfill your Fox news drone lemming bot psyche

  • @susu666 What? I don't even have TV. I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable that I ask the question, but it needs to be asked. People "protesting" in working class cities aren't accomplishing anything. That's just my opinion. Protesting where there are Federal Reserves or Trading buildings seem like better areas to get the message across. So are all those people there to get on the news? Do they really trust the news to report them fairly? It just doesn't make sense..it's not tactical

  • @jujubmuse I believe you're asking the wrong question: "...why Oakland?" The question shouldn't be why Oakland, Austin, Denver, Des Moines??? But rather, WHY NOT "EVERY" MAJOR CITY IN THE U.S. RISE UP AND SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH THIS MOVEMENT AGAINST FINANCIAL FLEECING OF THE PEOPLE OF THE U.S. BY THE DYNASTIC BANKING FAMILIES AND THE CORRUPT POLITICIANS THEY HAVE PURCHASED TO SERVE THEIR SINISTER PURPOSES! We need more cities to protest like Oakland. Not less, whether they have Fed Rsv or not!

  • @enlightenedchild Please take the time to look up *the reality* of this whole money game, son.

    President OBAMA $Took $Trillions$ of SO CALLED "Stimulus Money" AND GAVE 99%TO WALL STREET ! ! !

    Get your priorities straight. OCCUPY 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, THE WHITE HOUSE.

  • @enlightenedchild If you don't have a job, is that because some banker wants you to be poor? Why does a banker want you to be poor? If you had a job wouldn't you need a bank account and the banker earn fees? If you have money won't you buy a home and a banker earn interest?

    Only one group wants you unemployed. They are called socialists. They need you poor and angry so they can use you to seize the wealth capitalism created. Marx refered to you as "useful idots." Why serve their goals?

  • Equal distribution of wealth is very dangerous. It's hard for me to support OWS because of this. It will result in people dying and it doesn't support the the enterpreneur spirit. Tho I do believe the we need AUDIT THE FED, and the fact that we did away with the gold standard has created cronies.

  • I STAND WITH THE 99% WE MUST STOP THIS CORRUPTION! BANKERS WALLSTREET, LAWYERS, JUDGES, SENATOR SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR DESTROYING AND HELPING DESTROY THE WORLD ECONOMY ..POLITIONS ARE WORKING FOR THE CORPORATIONS THEY DO NOT CARE FOR THE 99% WE ARE JUST CADDLE TO THEM ELIMINATE LOBBYING! TAX THE HELL OUT OF CORPORATION SENDING JOBS OVERSEA! BANKS SHOULD BE REGULATED STRONGLY! HEALTHCARE FOR FREE! EDUCATION FOR FREE! BASIC LIVING FOR FREE!

  • Oil companies know why this shit is going on. So does the fed the price of everything is high, gas is high. pay is not enough for the average working american, why? Greed! Anyone who supports the ultra rich is a trader to America!

  • Looks like a group full of uneducated rejects. Should of called it the medical marajuana convention, would have had a similar effect.

  • @ 0:18 She literally has no idea why she is there...

  • Where will you be 100 years from now? dead and gone just like me so instead of occupying and making a lot of noise why not try occupying and start networking with people out there to jump start hundreds of businesses and don't tell me there is no smart and innovative minds out there you can form groups of future millionaires like those who made facebook ,google and other businesses from scratch so find a few bright minds out there and just do it. think outside the box.

  • wow an african american protester you will not see that a a tea party rally lol

  • 2:14 pause it. oh my lord what an ugly Hag

  • corporations employ over 20,000,000 people in the US.

    I love these idiots arguing about how bad they are

  • @selfinfliction No doubt good comment! They also make sure they don't handle the employee's pay that way they can blame it on the CEO. When in truth they could care less if the employee can pay the rent or house payment. Greed has caught up with america and it is dirty laundry! It is not a job when you can't pay the light bill, have gas to get to work, put clothes on your kids back, it is a job with the hopes of help.

  • Great video

    hahahaha "Hella Occupy Oakland"

  • Great video

    

  • vote. vote. decide what you want and vote ...

    ...dang

  • I've wondered where all the revolutionaries disappeared to,it's time to stand up and scream about where we are, open our eyes and fight Corporate America and the Fed, cut the umbilical cord, punish those who are breaking the laws thru the loop holes created by those who make the laws.

  • You ever notice the people who ride Greyhound buses look like a bunch of uneducated drugged up losers? That's what all these morons look like. The police are making a big mistake by throwing tear gas into the croud, they should actually be shooting all these idiots. Just a bunch of losers with no life.

    They'll use any excuse to disrupt other peoples lives instead of doing something useful in life like volunteer work They're only out there to cause trouble and do damage. Morons.

  • Ron Paul was calling all this years ago....tells ya somethin don't it

  • Honestly is this simple. 5% of the population in America owns %65 of the wealth. It has been getting worse for years and now the people are angry.

  • This is the by product of brain washing by public schools and colleges...you're occupying the wrong people its the politicians you need to occupy they pass the laws.

  • @3xefx8x politicians are owned by corporations. monopolies are supposed to be illegal, yet fewer and fewer corporations are gaining control over every market. politicians don't have the willpower or the guts to go against such pull, and even if they tried, corporations would paint that candidate as a lunatic effectively stamping him/her out of the running. It doesn't take brainwash to see that this just isn't in the best interest of the people.

  • The Anti Unfair Advantages Movement  (AUA) will NOT be stopped!~We ARE the 99%!~

  • Where were you guys when we were protesting in DC on 9/12/09???

  • @aoussoren Liberals are a little slow using their brains.. it's taken them 3 years to see the bailouts were a huge mistake... and that crony capitalism and Keynesian economics are not working and we need pure free markets and small government.

  • @wmarcus1203 Boy have you got that right - The IRONY ! - these are the same people who DEMONIZED the Tea Party. Yet they fail to see that all the problems we are having are a RESULT of government !!! Exactly what the Tea Party was saying.

  • Check out Kron4's People Behaving Badly reporter Stanely Roberts if you really want to see what banks think of the properties they foreclose on. And if you think Antioch City Council should be using your tax $s to clean that up you need to have a serious talk to yourself. It's just one example. Anyone being foreclosed on - stay near your home. That sheriff's eviction note is only viable for 72 hours. Return to your home after that period. Plenty of info around YT, don't pay anyone for free info

  • This shall be, forever and always, a nation gathered for the establishment of justice, domestic tranquility, and in the business of the public defense and welfare. What? Is that America today? Hell no! Then it is time for the governed to rise up, and in efforts of one or another kind, reestablish our free land called America. This is the birthright of the governed, and it shall not ever perish from this Earth, for this is established by God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • We just can't sit down and take it. WE do need to state clear intent:

    I can tell you my intent...check out my vids.

  • Watch the Press TV video... Tarpley says, "make a list of demands" or it will fall apart... under hollywormwood coup d'etat.... secret Spain planning group... Make specific demands... include farmers, students, blue collar workers... how 'bout start with 1%transaction fee for each Wall Street business transaction.... etc etc. etc GoGoGo OCUPPY DEMANDS ARE ---------

  • Banks are stealing our homes! Come out and support a bank crime scene action on Thursday, October 20th -- meet up at 3:30 PM at the corner of 51st & Broadway in Oakland, CA.

  • good shit, now lets get those people to pick up ak47s and shoot specific people (politicians, bankers, ceo's" and anyone that has trapped us from survival everyone pick up your guns from las vegas before they take that away. peace

  • Good video. I was there for about an hour yesterday, and this looks like a representative cross-section. Pretty amazing that such a disparate bunch of individuals can come together and organize a little village like this. Hooray for Food Not Bombs, all the volunteers, and Ying Lee (the grandmother for peace).

  • Keep up the great work Abby! Looks like some very well informed folks in Oakland...Thanks for including 9-11 Truth in this.

  • Until you are ready to do violence on behalf of your beliefs you will alway be a marginalized silly side show.Are you ready to throw a fire bomb? Are you ready to pull a trigger?Take a life?No?Not your style?Well thats the road you are headed down.That is the confrontation your handlers are pushing you toward.That is what is being called for in NY.If you really were the 99% you wouldn't have to do that. You are less than 1%.

  • @oldschoolgreentube why don't you stop criticizing people an actually get off your lazy ass. What makes you think these people don't have jobs? Lots of unfounded assumptions in your 'comments' . I use the word 'comment' lightly because your posts are more akin to trolling.

  • @oldschoolgreentube troll yawn

  • You are not the 99% You are afraid you will have to take care of your parents? You mean like they took care of you? You are delusional spoiled mostly white people who are afraid to work. You are not the 99% You will fail, and you will be just like your hippy parents, demoralized, defeated, and disenfranchized. Get a job, start a business, grow something. You will be much happier. Learn the history of revolutions, they seldom end well. For anyone, especially the revolutionaries

  • @oldschoolgreentube You mean those hippies who fought for women's rights, black rights, the end of vietnam war, and who produced the most important art in the last half century? Yeah, those guys sound like a bunch of fags.

  • great video thx abby :)

  • The FEDERAL RESERVE vampires do not want any public attention or scrutiny.

    They abhor the light.

    People are protesting in front of the FEDERAL RESERVE - that is making them uncomfortable.

    That is one huge reason why we will be at WAR with IRAN within 10 days of writing this. WAR is their diversion to get the light off of them.

    Israel will attack Iran on or before Sunday, October 23, 2011. The US and Israel will be at WAR with a nuclear power and an ally of Russia. Vampires need blood.

  • @getbo I hope you're wrong but maybe that's why they made up that bullshit about an assassination attempt, to provoke a war.

  • The US FEDERAL RESERVE is the head of the snake. It is as FEDERAL as Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream. It has NO reserves.

    This private for-profit Federal Reserve Bank is a WAR machine whose biggest profits come from WAR. They extort and divert bank debt onto the sheeple. They create derivatives.

    They own Congress and the President to create legislation to hide criminal activity.

    They sell the warped logic of too big to fail so that we continue sending our tax money onto a black hole.

  • I enjoyed the video! Everyone in agreement that the system is not working - we all want real change (not empty promises of change). The two party system is a false paradigm. Dem or Republican, it doesn't matter. It is a system used by the enemy to divide our country.

    We are all together that we want a system for the 99%.

  • Great Job Abbie! Love the interviews and the message.

  • Yes. People are getting it. ;)

  • WE AS AMERICANS ITS OUR FAULT. WE ARE THE SOCIETY

  • @hardright03 Exactly. If we want change we can't sit their and point the finger. Instead why not band together and create our own society and live by our own laws. Revolution does not mean resolution.

  • @hardright03 The 99% is not able to decide on economic decisions. Corporations and Banks pay off politicians to favor them. Corrupt Politicians are the ones who put us into this situation. The only thing that we as americans have done wrong is kept our mouths shut.

  • @hardright03 why they shit all over my street??

  • Do those Native Americans on the drums take requests? I like to hear "The Ghost Dance."

  • People are "getting it " ,awesome vid ,keep strong you have the 99% of the world on your side.

  • good video Abby

  • AWESOME as usual, Media Roots. Great job, Abby Martin! This video is heartbreaking but uplifting at the same time; so many common people are in the same depressing boat but are willing to go out and protest the establishment that is Wall Street and the government.
