Thorin Caristo's Secret Meeting with Private Benefactor - Jean-Louis Bourgeois

This is a secret meeting between Thorin Caristo and private benefactor - Jean-Louis Bourgeois.

Thorin has previously considered himself in numerous interviews and youtube videos to be a spokesperson for the Occupy Wall Street movement. This is not to be believe since no one in the movement is a spokesperson, everyone is an autonomous individual.

Thorin has also claimed to represent the media working group at OWS, despite the fact that he does not attend media wg meetings and does not adhere to the ethics of the movement or the general assembly.

Thorin has repeatedly changed his name on the contact list for media working group to be the only one there, as to encourage outsiders to contact him if they want any information.

He does not act transparently, by accepting large amounts of money and not collecting receipts or even letting his benefactor know where all of the money is going to. As previous members of his team, we can assure you that none of the money is being used towards equipment or towards helping his team live in Liberty. While his team had no shoes, food or clothing, Thorin was taking 500 dollars worth of cabs to have private meetings without getting consensus from the media working group on any of his actions.

Equally, he does not adhere to the General Assembly because he runs a vertical channel in a horizontal movement. He considers himself to be the producer and leader of the channel and everyone else is just his "team."

We release this video not to cause conflict, but rather to show the transparency and accountability that we are holding everyone in this movement to. This is not internal conflict, because in order to be internal it would imply that Thorin and his team work within the guidelines of the General Assembly, which they do not. It would imply that they were working with all of the groups in the movement, which they are not. They work independently but claim to do it in the name of the movement. That is unacceptable

We demand transparency from all.
We demand accountability from all.

What better are we than the corrupt leaders of our government if we don't?

There are others who are involved in this greedy scheme.
We know who you are.

We are watching.

He sounds like one of the self-seving hypocrites we're protesting against.

Thank you for posting this. I've been looking for this for awhile. Now do you understand what the "1%" really is? The only way to survive is to grow your own food and ride bicycles. Abandon their consumerist lifestyle. End the federal reserve banking system.
