How to fake an Egyptian Riot inside the United States
By: George Soros
1. George Soros
Soros was actually convicted of insider trading in France. His opinion moves markets. He is one of the most powerful people in the world entirely due to his ability to get other people to part with their money. His tentacles are everywhere. He uses numerous foundations and associations to keep money flowing and spread around. It’s no secret that George Soros is fond of deceit and subterfuge. He is a radical in the mold of Saul Alinsky. For all of the nonsensical blathering he does about how he can make the world a better place, he has no real plan to do any such thing. Soros loses interest in a project after the demo phase is over. According to Horowitz and Poe, Soros candidly admits he finds destruction easier than creation.
2. Soros invests 3.5 million in the Tides Center
Soros' Open Society gave grants of $3.5 million to the Tides Center, a San Francisco-based group that acts almost like a clearing house for other donors, directing their contributions to liberal non-profit groups.
3. Tides Center sends money to Adbusters to fund the planning of Occupation
Disclosure documents also show Tides, which declined comment, gave Adbusters grants of $185,000 from 2001-2010, including nearly $26,000 between 2007-2009.
4. Adbusters organizes occupation protests
"It came out of these brainstorming sessions we have at Adbusters," Lasn told Reuters, adding they began promoting it online on July 13. "We were inspired by what happened in Tunisia and Egypt and we had this feeling that America was ripe for a Tahrir moment."
"We felt there was a real rage building up in America, and we thought that we would like to create a spark which would give expression for this rage."
5. Who will 'occupy' our protests in the streets? Of course, hipsters with very little real world experience

'We Are the 53 Percent' - The Conservative Response to the 99 Percent Movement
In response to the 99 percent movement that has inspired the Occupy Wall Street protesters and their fellow picketers across the country, a group of right-wing bloggers have come together to issue their criticism of the protesters via new Tumblr blog called "We are the 53 percent."
The blog, kicked off by the conservative filmmaker Mike Wilson and blogger Erick Erickson of RedState.org, aims to be representative of the 53 percent of Americans who pay more in federal income taxes than they receive back in deductions or credits. The figure is based on a report from the non-partisan Tax Policy Center that said 47 percent of Americans did not pay federal income taxes in 2009, an unusually high percentage due to the fall in incomes resulting from the Great Recession.
The Americans who do not pay income taxes are those who are either so poor that they are exempt, or those that are the beneficiaries of tax breaks and deductions that cancel out their income tax payments.
