Reply #17: Trust me on this: The PTB are well aware of the message

[Zorra]

A hundred thousand people camped in parks and marching in the streets across the country has conveyed the message very clearly. It's in their face.

The PTB, meaning the 1% and their many employees in government (see link below) ignore the message because acknowledgment implies credibility and subsequently gives the message more publicity.

The primary message of OWS, the immutable glaring fact that wealthy private interests are in almost complete control of the government and that this control is totally undemocratic and is having a very serious negative impact on the majority of the lives of the 99%...

...then has to be addressed publicly by the employees of the PTB that hold many of the highest positions in the federal government. Subsequently, this logically dictates future legislative action if the pretense of democracy in America is to be maintained.

They are hoping that they can kill off the movement, primarily, at this time, through violent, coordinated, massive police attacks on the non-violent persons expressing the aforementioned message through peaceable assemblage, words and other non-violent actions, as well as a widespread media disinformation campaign, so that they will not be forced to acknowledge this OWS message that is crystal clear to them.

Those that don't get the message are by and large the people who are not politically aware of much that is real to begin with, and many of these folks are those who consistently parrot the idiot slogans delivered to them by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. These slogans generally form the foundation of their political awareness and opinions.

And then there are those few that obviously have some type of personal/political/financial agenda that pretend to not get the message.

If you want to know why many of us are so deeply concerned about having the OWS movement misrepresented, and are concerned about silly RW MSM memes being spread, it is because of the above, and this:

We need you, and everyone else possible, to join our movement so that we can attain the numbers of concerned people necessary to continue and guarantee the success of our admittedly somewhat flawed but overall very effective process of eliminating any and all control that wealthy private interests have over our government and our lives.
