  • Bank of Murka

  • first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win -Ghandi

  • After over 3,000 arrests, the constant street violence, the drug use, vandalism, rapes, public pooping, ring worm outbreaks, attacks on children and death…

    you people still think these are peaceful, meaniginful protests?

  • @willsbanana It's a well established fact that ring worms don't crawl anywhere near peaceful people with a cause. You could run a diner from up Mandela's ass, he's so pure in spirit he never poops neither privately nor in public. That's also why nobody ever arrested neither him nor Gandhi, Jesus or Aung San Suu Kyi.

  • Uyger is an Arab cunt.

  • ~~~^^~^Were you told "It's a business decision sir" when you asked your bank why the interest rate on your credit card had been doubled? That was back during the RepubliCON Bush administration. ~~*~*~*~*Now it's your turn to make a "business decision" of your own.. DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARDS THIS CHRISTMAS. In fact DON'T BUY ANYTHING. ~~~*~*~*~*Show the BANKSTERS, WALLSTREET & their REPUBLICAN enablers that you matter. ~~~*~*********After all CHRISTMAS is about the birth of JESUS.

  • almost every nyc cop i see if a fatass

  • YEAH !! the awakening of usa people !!!!

    i've been waiting this for 10 years

    come on, keep fighting hold on

    i support you

    a french guy

  • I wonder how many people here are ignorant of current events and the real reason why the protests are happening and come on here to bash people and a situation they don't understand or people who are paid to come on youtube and talk shit on videos like this so construe public opinion. Its very obvious with all the complaints you people have about the protests that you have no idea who is there and why they are there.

  • W-W-WHAT!?!?! You mean to tell us that the people on WALL STREET are GREEDY? NOOOOO! Next you'll tell us that Politicians are prone to taking Bribes and like to have sex with their interns. This is all news to us! Who has ever even heard of an "Evil Banker" or a "Corrupt Politician"? SHOCKER! I'm gonna call Bullshit on this one cause there is NO WAY a Company would ever try to make a profit! REALLY? I don't know about you, but I'm really glad we have a protest movemnet to tell us these things.

  • Why protest against the people who received the bailouts? Why not protest the people who are giving out the bailouts? And, the unions who are showing their support received bailouts too; ironic, isn't it.

  • I just love how there's a BMW add before this video.

  • I wonder how many of these retards get there income from mommy and daddy. POSER PROTEST!!!!!!!

  • @willsbanana also, you have the audacity to say that the wealthy are "stimulating the economy"? What stimulus? Do you mean the economy of China? If so you are correct. Do you mean the economies of 3rd world countries? Again you are correct. If you mean the economy of the United States, you are dead wrong. The rich care less about OUR economy, with the exception of how they can extract MORE of it into their pockets, while keeping the middle class and the poor "in their place".

  • @willsbanana If you can't understand history, and the fact that when the tax rates were higher for the rich, this nation thrived, didn't have near the unemployment we have now, didn't have near the rate of poverty we have now, didn't have nearly the amount of people unfortunate enough to have a roof over their heads, didn't have nearly the amount of children living in poverty, that is something YOU can fix by reading a book. You on the other hand don't understand history, & can only insult.

  • I love that when Tea Partiers protest government overreach etc. they are violent racists. But these guys, who are out disrupting places of business and getting arrested, even fucking taking shits on police cars and they are patriots. God, the bias in your country is fucking atrocious.

  • Cenk is right on target as usual, and I see the RWNJ's are out in force on the comments, disparaging the truth since they can't back up their allegations with anything resembling a fact. I noticed someone saying the Tea Party was created to protest taxes. Why they are against increasing taxes of the filthy rich is beyond logic. They don't understand that it's the GOP policies over the past 30 years, since Reagan that have made this mess with the constant deregulation of corporate America.

  • @lnfinityCircle If you can't see why you shouldn't raise taxes on the 'rich,' i.e the people who work their asses off and are stimulating the economy, at a time where the economy is in the fucking toilet as it is, obviously doesn't even understand macroeconomics in even a loose sense. Fucking read a book before you throw your 2 cents in

  • The specific Republicans who spoke out against Geithner: Bachman, Rand Paul, DeMint, Boehner, amongst others. And I do believe this was well after the Republicans first opposed him even being appointed because he didn't pay his taxes...but I digress. I will yield the floor to the smart and ever popular Cenk Uygur who would obviously have done his homework before "reporting" something as a fact to the people that would watch this and ASSUME it is legit news.

  • "Why did the Tea Party say nothing about Geithner"...well Cenk, they didn't have to the best part is the Republicans (the Tea Party voted for) called for him to resign...but hell all I did was google is and all I got was a little over 300K results, but maybe that's just me, maybe I searched wrong. You wouldn't have just bs'd a little bit just to try and proove a point would you?

  • Here is my contribution to the movement.... so far. Pass it along.

    youtube.com/watch?v=h6xrMZwnS-­o

    Worth watching...

  • We NEED Rage Against the Machine there!

  • Stupid liberal. The Tea party was started to protest taxes and regulations.

  • What I liked to see was the police group together, throw their caps to the ground and join the protest.

    If any police Wall Street see this comment, please join the protest and make your colleagues to join too. For your family, country and the world.

    It would be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

    We are all one, including you cops.

    Thumbs up please.

  • Young Jerks at it again promoting tryanny

  • @PhilJonesLIED Tyranny of who against who

  • This is GREAT! UNITE! IMPEACH OBAMA, IMPRISON GOLDMAN-SACHS. CONFISCATE SOROS'S WEALTH since he owns Obama and the other Clinton/Obama underlings through his media, social justice networks and backing of their businesses. It is time to expose and bring down the newtwork of Democrat thieves in the housing and financial collapse. IMPEACH OBAMA!

  • @MegaAnonFag Note the quotes. I was copy/pasting from Nayelle1290 and suggesting she find her lithium and quick.

  • Bank of america has the right to protect their property from trespassers..

  • The only thing that the occupy wall street protestors are boycotting is big tooth paste and big soap.

  • They weren't coopted, they were already part of them.

  • @Nayelle1290 "To be honest, the only democratic system I've seen that rebuffs capitalism, is Kadaffi's Green system. It truly gave power to the people."

    Please find your lithium and take it.

  • @CaronteEmpire Oh trust me, I know capitalism isn't the problem. The top 1% aren't even the problem. The probelm is the fraction of one percent that are funding the CFR and who hold stock in the Fed. Theae are the super rich who want to replace our republic with a progressive socialist government. And OccupyWallStreet are playing right into their hands. Their violence (unlike the TP) will cause millions of others to beg the govt. to bring peace and crush the insurrection. Everyone will suffer.

  • what you have here are people who don't have the slightest idea what they are protesting. I have heard one woman say what we need is a mix of socialism and capitalism.Well sweetheart that's exactly what you have right now .Your hero Obama who was going to "stop the rise of oceans and begin the healing of the planet" is the one who bankrolled the Wall Street bailout.Go to the White House with your meaningless sign and protest your Messiah.You will change nothing because you are nothing.

  • So the tea party is now co-opted by banks? I would say that is some what correct, but couldn't it also be said that now cenk is co-opting the end the fed movement? Becuase i remember his stance being a little different before! This is perversion at its best. Wall street, the big gov. and the fed are all intertwined! Most of these people protesting have good intentions, unfortunetly they are being used once again by people trying to shift focus and comondyre their actions.Big gov. is the problem!

  • FYI. These people protesting are changing nothing.

  • Who wrote these captions?

  • 1845??? Meanwhile during the 1950s the KKK grouped together and ALL of them were wearing masks. The American government exercises its laws when it sees fit, and bend the laws to their benefit. REVOLUTION!

  • How many of these "protestors" are "progressive" socialists who don't understand that THEY are to blame because THEY want a gov't big & powerful enough to give crony politicians the power to "redistribute" for campaign support.

    Wall Street could have NEVER become this powerful without Fascist-Crony Corporatist style Socialism and Central Planning!

  • The time has come. Another protests are starting on Oct 6th

    october2011 org/

  • It is disturbing how little of this is being covered

  • This is so frustrating. I want to be there at wallstreet and engage in the protests but I'm stuck here because it's not convenient at all for me to fly to New York right now.

  • @Frostbite864 I'm 17 and I live outside New York City, My cousins I and went down this weekend and it was sweet. I had to leave cause I have school this week. Get Down here man!

  • @Cioppa182 I would if you'd pay for the $500 plane ticket.

  • @Cioppa182 I have come up with a plan of civil disobedience. for those who are currently in school, instead of reciting the pledge of allegance to america. stand up, put your hand over your heart and pledge this " I pledge that I will support and defend the constitution, both foreign and domestic and that I will bear true faith in the allegance to the sane" I will not pledge allegiance to the government(wall street)I will pledge allegiance to the constituion.

  • Comment removed

  • They're also trying to take away annon's symbols by banning the Guy Fawkes mask

  • What a great vid! #OCCUPYTOGETHER

  • @singledad1234 Federal government is not bad. We need a mix of socialism and capitalism. In a free market the way we have it set up, politicians are bought. Stop corporate funding of political advertisement.

  • This is actually the same complaint the Tea Party had in the beginning, not enough coverage by the MSM. Of course, the Tea Party's agenda was total bullshit and was all about re-marketing the GOP as small govt. proponents rather than "a bunch of Christians trying to take over Washington". If these protests last more than a few days, I'm sure the media will catch on, just like they did with the "conservatives".

  • @ThatLonelyLoner He believes in no tax and he wants to allow us the right to opt out or use alternatives instead of being forced to buy from monopolistic industries like health care, currency, education, food, banking, etc. That's a pretty good deal considering how we're getting screwed by them now.

  • Step 1: Stop investing in Wall Street.

    Step 2:  Stop government handouts to Wall Street by voting for Ron Paul.

    problem fixed

  • TYT needs to cover the videos that are showing up on the top most viewed on youtube of the day, macing the women that were penned in, arresting and assaulting the guy for standing and talking to the police, arresting the man for picking up the American flag and yelling "Is this what you stand for?!"

    These actions by the police need to be covered.

  • As a republican and I support the protest but this dude is a dick. Your a big goverment dick you librial.

  • Know what this is about - READ and understand WHY there is a protest.

    Be ABLE to understand and make an informed decision and reply when asked about the protest.

    Search engine: occupy wall street official demands

    violence begets violence - then the National Guard marches in and the protest would be over in minutes.

    Study Ghandi - choose a higher, spiritual path.

  • Thank you for covering the protests!!!

  • Cenk, if they do a rally like this in Los Angeles, would you show up, and maybe do some live coverage from there? That would be very helpful for the movement.

  • i'm considering going to occupy la after class and just study on the streets.

  • Cenk, saying that anonymous backs something is the number one way to drive away any sane people.

  • Keep them coming my friends. We shall prevail.

  • The only way the goverment will listen is if everyone takes arms/weapons to the street and we confront the police, does anyone notice how everyone is always asking to the cops "can I do this can I do that because I dont want to be arrested" sure people will die but look at Egypt, they kicked out their lieader and the same with Lybia.

  • @WHYNOTMEB4U Egyptians never had armed confrontations with their police.

  • @WHYNOTMEB4U Thats because you only heard or saw what the US media told you, I saw it live on aljaazera and the Egyptians where armed to the teeth.

  • can we repost TYT videos?

    

  • good vid!

  • great video!!

  • sad :/

  • We're the Wall Street pirates, we're the mad captains of finance...

  • Lupe and Immortal technique were there too!!

  • CNN (404) 827 1500

    MSNBC (212) 664 4444

  • This is the perfect Young Turks story, not covered by the mainstream media who will follow and support their masters no matter what. This is why free societies everywhere in the world need this form of impartial press, to hold government to account through scrutiny.

  • Comment removed

  • There may be an ordinance about mask but they can't do anything about face paint. Set up the Guy Faux face paint booth !! I have seen they are blocking yahoo mail with certain keywords...use different words or klaxon writing. C'mon we can out think them out smart them open more blogs and spam the hell out of it. Go to "fiver" have our oversea friends spam it for ya. You know how to make it known to all.

  • The United States can seem slow to change but when we stand up and collectively work towards a single goal, our country has shown itself to be capable of extraordinary things.

  • All this did was make some trending topics on twitter. It doesn't matter how many people protest if 1. they're all morons, and 2. they have no idea what they're yelling about.

  • TYT has officially been my top 2 news source under DEMOCRACYNOW

  • I'm not getting TYT videos in my sub box!!!

  • vivalarevolution

  • 17 dislikes? really? they'd rather have the media suppress this?

  • @seehang I'm number 21.

    The Tea Party will have nothing to do with this because they want to preserve the Republic not bring down the Democracy. Big difference! Figure it out folks. You guys are WAY behind on this!

  • I hate anonymous. But i'll give them some credit for this. I just wish they would just do this and not all that other BS. Why don't you guys just stick with this and crushing Scientology.

  • @PirateoftheTouYube

    That is a old agenda... we are more fixed on situations like operation bart and now this, more is to come expect that :)

  • what means THE YOUNG TURKS ??? like the animal or the race ?

  • @BetterDayzThugNme It's a reference to a movement of young progressive citizens of the Ottoman Empire that opposed absolute monarchy.

  • @VulcanLander1988

    proud to be a turk. thanks for this information VulcanLander1988

  • Watch GlobalRevolution Live Stream Website for Complete Story.

  • Well what if everyone wore burkas then they could cover the face right? Technically it would not be considered a mask but a religion thing. Just look for ways to use their laws to work for you.

  • You are awesome. Much love, man.

  • Join the Progressive revolution against the Wall Street corruption of both U.S. political Parties!

    [Add me as a friend, if you're Progressive.]

  • Youtube blocked my commnet

  • Note to self.... Do not go to New York City on Halloween, especially wall street!

  • Keep it up people hell this might be the spark. Just dont wear a mask.

  • Anyonomous was ignited by group of libertarians... Cenk your retarded

  • @Salvysahagun more like a group of rich suburban cp watchers

  • It is best to thoroughly and critically organize a revolution underground than organize one in the open because it is more prone to being shut down before it officially starts.Besides people don't have too much loyalty for a cause nowadays.They are more into individualistic gain instead of group survival.Government officials know this.

  • Protests?

    Obviously then, they are, (in terms the left wing slings around), "racists" and "terrorists",

    who need "to be taken out".

  • If these get bigger..... A revolution is coming

  • One Demand: PUBLICLY FUNDED ELECTIONS!!!!

  • The OweBama AssClown wants to RAISE taxes on teachers & plumbers:

    "You know what? If asking a billionaire to pay the same rate as a plumber or a teacher makes me a warrior for the middle class, I wear that charge as a badge of honor,” Obama told the crowd, getting applause.

    Whoops!: Tax Rate for $17,000 – 69,000 Income; 15%

    Tax Rate for over $379,150; 35%

    Our "Class Warrior", like his policies, are an Epic Fail!

    YEAH occupy Wall Street!

  • @ChimpBama I agree essentially, but he's referring to the fact that most millionaires receive all of the income from investments, which are only taxed at 15%, rather than a 35% job salary.  Ron Paul 2012.

  • this isnt a protest it is a fashion show for hippiewannabes, what a joke

  • These guys must be making a lot of arrests on Halloween.

  • The TEA Party has done protests on Wall Street. They have protested all of the major news networks. They have protested the Federal Reserve. Yes, they should protest Tim Geithner!

  • yes where is the tea party?

  • im not mad at the banks, its this idiotic Government that no1 takes seriously.

  • I'm glad TYT is covering this.

    I hope they also cover what's going to happen in October.

    Check out October2011(dot) org

  • I missed that you guys DID post this :D My bad. Go TYT and GO OCCUPIERS!!

  • At least someone is showing these guys support! Thanks Cenk.

  • TeaParty is a farce.. And this should show people that.

    Politicians NOT supporting this ~ Showing your true alliances where people can see..

    I hope this next election ~ Blows the doors off these greedy war loving, people surpressing ~ out of touch and out to lunch politicians. That they drop their starbucks coffee all over themselves....

  • Lupe Fiasco was there! wooo

  • *our

  • @youSeenIslam except when the time comes to excercise our constitutional right and overthrow our evil corrupt government we'll be saying "remember remember the 11th of september" because thats when shit really hit the fan because now are rights are being violated more than ever because all they have to do is use that day as their excuse... "oh we're just going through your phone and computer to protect you"...... yea ok

  • Bring hell to wall street wohaaaaaaaaa, but look at how normal people are treated now like the scum of the earth.

    And letting criminals in banks and wall street get off scot free

  • What has "Wall Street" done exactly to deserve a protest?

  • @BorgKing001 Dumb stupid pig learn a bit about the world and come back, how can you be so ignorant.

  • @DRock7977 answer my question instead of calling me names if you can.

  • @BorgKing001 Theyve corrupted and destroyed the economy the facts are all out there a k a recession.

  • @BorgKing001 They corrupted and destroyed the economy the facts are all out there its called recession.

  • @DRock7977 How, specifically? If you really know then you would have no problem answering my question. This is the third time i have asked you BTW

  • I bet these dumb-asses don't even know what they are protesting

  • I totally agree with the protesters, but you can't go into a bank branch with a mask on. Common sense. Hello?

  • @mert828 ---

    But they were apprehended not for suspected robbery or something but a 150 year old civil order law, which in modern society makes no sense.

    One guy can walk around with a mask but two guys can't?

  • I designed posters for Occupy Wall Street

  • Nice picnic . I think all bankers/politiics are "frightened" now. Learn from Greeks and Egyptians how to protest. Yes we can because Obama can't.

  • There is a Bank of America facing the Treasury from across Pennsylvania Avenue. Best friends should always work as close together as possible.

  • I live in California.. but if i had the funds, i'd travel over to New York and Protest with all of you. Much love!

    Good luck guys!

  • Right on we need more protests!

  • The Tea Party has never said a word about Tim Geithner? Cenk's losing it.

  • Average Republican/Tea-Bagger = Scared Stupid Sucker
