Wall Street Spies on Protestors in Tax-Funded Center

The NYPD helped create a private-public security team (partially funded by taxpayers) where Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs can spy on protesters in lower and central Manhattan. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur explains.

@2360mrtom $61,000 is about TWICE what I've seen ANYONE in my generation earn. Where are you getting these insane numbers? The most I ever made legally was ~$38,000 working 8 hour days killing myself doing trim carpentry in multimillion dollar mansions. Where is this ~$60,000 a year dream land you speak of?

@Sheeeeeenful Read what Mussolini had to say about it. You. Are. Wrong. The USA is a fascist police state, there's no two ways about that. I've got the statistics to prove it.

[ex0pos]

To those of you who live in or around NYC: what will you do about this? (Not just vent on YouTube, I hope.) The rest of us are depending on you... please take this seriously!

And... what can we do to help?

@TNRockyMom Thank god you're here and not wasting away in front of Fox News like my idiot dad : /

[Piriathy]

SO 2/3s of the people in this spying hub are MERCENARIES from the banks. Lovely. We really have become a plutocratic police state, haven't we???

@MustacheVerra

"How can 2 or 3% have that much wealth?"

No brainer there, the system was set up over 30 years ago that allowed the top elites to cheat the system at the expense of the majority, who are the 99%.

@123zippity At least 18 current and former Fed board members were alliliated with banks and companies from Fed during the crisis. The fox guarding the henhouse. They were the biggest contributors of Obama. Even GE Immelt was on the Fed Freserve- his friend #2 Clinton and that Congress Where you been?#4 Obama lied when "they were going to stop all social Security checks" You have a twisted Marxist mind.

@bamboo4tameshigiri No arguments here. Australian troops have gone to Iraq, Afghanistan and pretty much every other war America gets into. Yet in WW2 it took pearl harbour for America to put effort into the war in the Pacific. A bit of a one sided alliance in my opinion.

STEAM COMING OUT OF MY EARS!!! PISSED BABYBOOMER!!!

@kathyofrin Most countries that have health care, pay less taxes than we do in the US. We pay more and get less. All of our money goes to feed the largest private, for profit, prison population on the face of earth and the most bloated illegally aggressive war machine in the history of mankind.

[kathyofrin]

@bamboo4tameshigiri It's true our wages are higher, but we also don't have a culture of tipping, so nothing extra. I like it this way though.

the healthcare isn't free, its paid for through an extra income tax.

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

@kathyofrin I have heard. I actually have heard that the minimum wage is so much higher there that the profession wage is proportionally higher. AND you have free healthcare there. This country sucks so god damned much. Seriously.

@bamboo4tameshigiri Australia :)

@DaBamBamMan Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Therefore, for the most part, I agree with your statements. Nevertheless, those are byproducts of a 1% that do not want people to be educated enough to know when their rights are being revoked. That plan was working just fine... ...until now. Their great underestimation was thinking that the charade would continue indefinitely. No, the charade is no longer sustainable. And, it has given birth to OWS, yeah occupy the world.

[DaBamBamMan]

@70sgitbox Dude, that was 200+ years ago. Most people in this country think learning about 50 years ago is a waste of time because, and i quote, "It's history, why should we learn it when it already happened?" I have heard this countless times throughout school and after, that I have no questions of how our country became what it is now.

HISTORY LESSON:

...deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness...

The (US) Declaration of Independence

[mechaux1]

The police has done nothing but act like wolves among sheep during around the occupy protests it really makes me think that people are too afraid to live there lives without them that allows law enforcement to reign unchecked while i do believe in crime investigation and detectives this type of collusion has gone too far if some criminal hurt a family member of yours they never would allow you to sit on the investigation so why are bankers investigating citizens protesting them FUCK DA POLICE

[TheStormchaser1]

@gagaguy7 But, when you get groups in they are worse than dictators. These Communistic Anarchists from G with there Commie Propaganda kills all protests. A reason to loot and riot.

Having masks and bandanas over your face makes you look one of two things. 1. Criminal 2. Terrorist. Once there are people with masks and bandanas covering face, That is when Tear Gas should go flying.

Government will not change, unless you play by their rules.

[TheStormchaser1]

@gagaguy7 Did you read the demands on some of these rioters from the G Summits and set emergency vehicles on fire??? That is Anarchy. Anarchy just does not mean no government. It also includes creating political disorder. The demands for free everything worse than a welfare recipitant is Communistic. Hence Communistic Anarchist.

Read the demands that would make bigger government.

This protest should have just had One Voice, One Goal, One Agenda. End the Central Banks.

[Relugus]

Taxpayers money should NEVER be given to private companies, and private corporations should have no involvement with government.

Business is interfering in Government; they use government to sponge off the taxpayer, they use government to get subsidies and tax breaks, they use government to eliminate competition.

There should actually be some common ground here between genuine conservatives and liberals on this; just as we separate Church and State, we should separate Private sector and State.
