OccupyWallStreet: Please send pizza
We told you about some of the demands of the occupied Wall Street grad. But Michelle Malkin points us to a new aspect of the occupy Wall Street crowd called needs of the occupiers. It’s almost comical, as these spoiled little trust fund hippies send out the requests for food and solar panels?
So much for the people’s movement, because if you go to the #needsoftheoccupiers twitter site here you’ll see that the requests are so typical of a generation that has already requested money for not working, and free college for everyone. Free!
The list includes:
- business suits
- solar panels with installers
- thumb drives
- hand warmers
- solar blankets
The list goes on and on. And just in case you missed it yesterday here is the list of their demands. How about this? How about you guys go back to school and stop wasting your parents money.
Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.
Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the “Books.” World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the “Books.” And I don’t mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.
Here they are … all the art and women studies majors in one location.

One of the things they asked for was a new theme song. How about this one?

Jim, I like the proposed new theme song. That song done by the piano in the YT video would be about how the “real” new “silent majority” all over the country has to put up with these protests, and in a special way, in the “big apple” NYC. Heck, even Hartford now is going to have its protests today at Bushnell Park. The big difference from the late 60’s-early 70’s and today is that the protesters look much more “embaressing” in their effort to protest. Plus those who protested back in the day now are now protesting against out-of-control government.
2008: Tea Party protests wall St bailouts=”patriots”
2011 : “Occupy Wall St.” protests Wall St bailouts which did not filter down to the taxpayers that bailed them out=”dirty hippies”
Couldn’t filter down to the taxpayers who bailed them out because it was paid back to the taxpayers who bailed them out.
Sorry, now you guys are FOR the bailouts. I can’t keep up!
Saying what happened isn’t tacit approval of what happened.
Might I suggest grilled ratte, sauteed in Boones Farm wine and crack, with a side order of grass.? For? desert, Maison Moore (Michael is our fat-cat sponsor – who will NEVER visit Denmark) recommends brownies a la San Fransisco.? Competing resteraunteur, the Jail House Rock Cafe’s Maitre D (Detective Sergeant O’Doyle) has a cheaper menu: bread and water.
I think the best reply to these protestors comes from one of the best movies of all time:
“Your revolution is over, Mr. Lebowski. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir.”? – Jefferey Lebowski
How about a one-way ticket to Havana? ?These Socialists need to be stopped. ?What’s happening to this country??
Well, crystal, I’m not a huge fan of what Wall Street, banks and traders?have recently?done either.? However, tearing down the entire western system of democracy and?capitalism brings up another dilemna – what are you planning to replace it with??I’m sure Russia, China and Al-Qaida have some suggestions.? Also, condemning one side of the “party” without??making those who AGREED and SIGNED contracts for their crazy mortgages accountable, is kind of one-sided, don’t you think?? The people who are out protesting these days?have their own agendas, on?various stands?of the politial spectrum.? Are you sure you know what you want to replace our current system with?? I know I am – go GOD.? Signed: Ex-hippie protestor.
Whose tearing down what?
I believe they are talking about accountability: mortgage backed derivitives, blatant short selling, manipulation of gold and silver prices, etc. etc.
Not one of those people caught in fraudulent acts went to jail.
banks showing record unheard of profits but are upping charges for their customers and are NOT lending money for businesses to help out the economy.
And now, being planned, as we speak, they are spending millions (hundreds of millions a year) lobbying for more of your money…yep, their number 1 goal now….privatizing social security.
The problem is the control they have on DC. …Republicans and democrats! Wall St. is using your money to lobby against you.
Again, repeating the question: what do you plan on doing?? replacing a /democratic capitalistic society?? With what?? As bad as it is, remember what the current alternatives are…oh, yeah, socialist Europe – that’s working out really well too.? In case you haven’t noticed, HUMAN BEINGS are at fault, not the systems per se.? Russia is full of corruption, as is China and Europe, Asia and Africa.?? No matter what rules, regulations, government/corporate changes, political systems?are running things, unless human beings change to adhere to moral and ethical standards of?behavior, you are going to wind up with exactly the same situations -? just under a different name.
?
While being indoctrinated in basic socialism, you obviously missed basic English – or is your use of the possessive when a verb (action) is appropriate just part your agenda?
Crystal, you can thank your presidents justice department for not prosecuting those who broke the law. We all knew it wouldn’t happen because they were political?campaign donors?to the big zero.
Precisely: the Holder DOJ is busy handing out weapons to Mexican drug cartels instead of handing out warrants.
?
As for the slap at Social Security privatization, there is a post specifically on this topic where your remarks are curiously absent.? Feel free to offer your opinions on that topic.? I will look for them!
When the State of and City of NY is broke, who is picking up the tab for all the police needed to police this group.?? You got it those being protested.
Maybe, Herman-My Man-Cain can send them some Godfather’s Pizza compliments of Herman Cain 2012!!!? Wouldn’t that be a hoot!
Shouldn’t they be asking people to send money to charities or non-profits? Their list seems just a little self-centered for people trying to make a difference (cough, cough,?narcissists).?
Good song,but maybe re do with flute,aka the Pied Piper…
I’m unable to find the Right Principles story you discussed briefly before noon on Oct 5;
When time permits please provide a link,(Van Jones,Pace University,Occupy Planners).
Thanks For All You Do,and SOS

Jim, your RVO blog article caught fire over at Free Republic:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2788168/posts?
“Like, we just got here Friday and got arrested on Saturday”.? Mom must be soooooo very proud.? So, who was the community organizer for this ridiculousness and will he be our next president?
That’s a good question,somebody put the little twerps up to this.
Keep looking for the ANSWER funded/sponsored posters.?? Wanna bet that most of these children are Democrats??? You might look to the DNC, as it gives cover to ?bama’s lousy handling of the economy, and provides the state media a venue to point the finger (away from ?bama and his administration).
While the freedoms of assembly and speech are sacrosanct, property rights and the validity of contracts are equally protected by our constitution.? I really doubt these protesters would enjoy any society based on the precepts they espouse.?
There is an old curse:? “May you live in interesting times.”? These are interesting times.
I’m protesting this site.
My demands are as follows.
1. Mattel Hover Board as promised in Back to the Future 2.
2. A delorean.
3. 100 BILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!
So the tea party were labled terrorists for calmly assembling and speaking out against the health care tax hike as well as all of Obama’s other tax hikes but these clowns get together and MAKE DEMANDS of wall street, essentially holding them hostage since hostage takers are the only people I know who make demands and their considered patriots?
I believe they have a name for this in comic books.
BIZAARO WORLD!!!!!!
Spoiled brats whose parents gave them everything they ever wanted and now Mommy and Daddy are saying, “time to get a job.” So instead they will protest. One has the nerve to mock people mourning the death of Steve Jobs, as he is twittering and using the internet to tell the world what he is doing.
I’d like to?send them some pizza laced with a laxative because the shit is getting deep. ?
Kids just wanna have fun. Are they doing their homework?
If we just kill all the rich people all of our problems will be solved.
The Woodstockers grew up, mostly. There may be hope for OWS too.
I woke up thinking of the Civil War.? Immensely wealthy land owners convinced the poor to give up their lives and limbs and land to fight for their own self-serving interests.
Fast forward,2011, Investment bankers, Wall St. and the Koch bros. propaganda machine have sold the middle class and poor on the right that they act in their best interests and returning the tax structure to the Clinton years is nothing but an assault on American values! Amazing!
You can fool enough people, often enough?
To do any darn thing that you want.?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?G.W. Bush
Crystal August25th,” W” never said that.
You have to stop getting your “history” books in the fiction section.
It is so sadly ironic, the morning after the sad and early passing of a GIANT in both the world of computers and business Steve Jobs, that the SAME people who are PROTESTING RIGHT NOW in NYC on or near Wall Street and in other cites in the United States, are using the same products Mr. Jobs through his God-given gifts and talents was able to put together, be it computers, cell phones, MP3 music players, or now tablets in order to commuicate with each other. If this is not the visable prof that CAPITALISM is STILL ALIVE and ACTIVE, I do not know what is.?
Thank-you Jim for letting me, as well as Dimsdale, Everyone Else, for reading my “classic rant.” :)=^..^=?
Crystal,? I’m betting your misquote from GW probably came from either a joke on somebodies website or from Wikipedia.? As for Wikipedia try not to use it since Teun Lucassen has done a brilliant study for University of Twente in the Netherlands and it is not dependable ?? http://www.utwente.nl/organization/stories/blind-faith-in-wikipedia?
If not there, where? “Hearts and Flowers” to you!
“You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.” — George Bush, Gridiron Club dinner, Washington D.C., March 24, 2001
Sorry, I misquoted …did it from memory.
hahahaaa Crystal…you take everything at face value. Here’s what really happened:
“At the recent Gridiron dinner, an annual event in which Washington’s newspaper reporters and columnists perform political skits before an audience that includes congressional leaders, Supreme Court justices and senior administration officials, Bush deadpanned that when he arrived in Washington he sought the advice of one of the city’s Democratic wise men, Bob Strauss. The president said Strauss gave him this counsel: “You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.” (from St. Petersburg Times Online, April 2001)
–I added the emphasis for your benefit.
Winnie, Thanks for finding the real quote.
Cain/Gingrich 2012
@ABO, you’re most welcome.? And believe me it was not easy to find.? Have discovered a site called ‘disappeared news’.? Whenever you see a suspicious quote, go check them out because they give you links back to original stories as they appeared at the time (before they were mangled and taken out of context by liberals).
Winnie, I will bookmark that link. I am so tired of websites with quotes out of context I could scream.? Newspapers used to print whole speeches and you could read all of it and judge for yourself. Nerdy me, actually read whole speeches, now newspapers have condensed down to partial quotes and these get printed on “factual” websites.? Is it 1984?
Lynn, I have it bookmarked.? Fabulous site & so glad that I ran across it.? I love the little illustrated guy on the main page holding a paper with holes cut out of it.? Pretty much sums up our lefty media, doesn’t it?
Anyone see the similarities to the riots in Great Britian over austerity cuts??? Just one more step to the socialist model…
The Democrats backed this protest and zero continues with his class warfare, the union thugs moved in and this is only the start.?I seem to remember someone predicting this would happen about a year ago.
http://nation.foxnews.com/wall-street-protests/2011/10/06/democrat-backed-occupy-wall-street-protests-turn-violent????
Isn’t that just a variation on a quote from P. T. Barnum of the circus fame?
?
This should have gone under Crystal’s George W. Bush “quote.”
One word: maggots.
In a sense, I would agree, but maggots aren’t parasites.? Conversely, the time when all these “critical thinkers” will be fighting for pieces off the carcass of the society they are trying to kill is fast approaching.
There is a certain circus air surrounding the Wall St. protests. The protester’s demands seem to be fatuous, venal and petty, i.e., forgive my student loan. The media is caught-up in the carnival atmosphere of the protests and is happily passing along every utterance these people make. To compare the protesters to the hippies of the 60’s and 70’s is wide of the mark. The hippies wanted free love, legalized marijuana, world peace and an end to war. The Wall St. protesters want personal dispensations and all of the amenities of civilization without working for them.
The protester’s demands have the hollow ring of Socialism and Communism. Look how perverted they are! Capitalism isn’t perfect, but it is the best of all the working economic systems.
These are not the demands of Occupy Wall Street, they are one OWS supporter’s proposed demands. Educate yourselves and go to Washington Times website. Type manifesto in the search and you will find the working list of demands. If you do not care for the actual list then it is your right to find fault with it. But be disgusted with what is factual, and not what conservative media has decided to run with.
They find one crackpot thing to run with with every story, ignoring the whole, true picture.
It is the Fixed News way….it won’t change. And that’s the way the followers like it.
I don’t think it is too difficult to find “crackpot things” in this crowd of “deep thinkers”.? Even CBS news stated that there was no “real message” from the crowd.
So at least one OWS supporter has a list of terrorist demands with which to hold WS hostage during this occupation.? A trillion dollars for infrastructure…open up borders…another trillion dollars for ecological restoration…yep, I read the manifesto and this guy is very focused unlike the unwashed masses milling around WS with 60s-style protest signs and no clue what their major gripe is, just that they have one, man, and they’ll quit their jobs to make their point.
This could be Obama’s greatest “job plan” in the past 3 years.? The more protesters in NYC who migrate across those open state borders, the more jobs will open up for the unemployed who would love nothing more than to work…If this is the left’s answer to the TEA Party, ya gotta love it.
Ok got timed out and can only write my stuff once. So here is a condensed version. A protester was on sirius radio and said there were 4 main groups at OWS. So which “demands” are factual.? I will only accept the “facts” from someone who went to OWS. Just as I only believe comments about Tea Parties by people who go to them, as I do.
BOA charging $5 to use your own money.
Citibank ‘s free checking is now $15.
Foreclosures on loans they didn’t even own.
Lawsuit brought against Wells Fargo, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase and GMAC Mortgage, of engaging in ?a brazen scheme to defraud both our nation?s veterans and the United States treasury? of millions of dollars in connection with home loans guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. (1.2 million of these loans , hundreds of millions of dollars made).
These people are just trying to call attention to these and other atrocities perpetrated on us. But you? are calling these people parasites , maggots?!
Sigh, keep bending over.
Bank of America:? took $5 billion in bailout from US government (taxpayers)
Wells Fargo:? took $2 billion in bailout from US government (taxpayers)
JP Morgan Chase:? took $2 billion in bailout from US government (taxpayers)
GMAC Mortgage (Now Ally): took $2 billion in bailout from US gov. (taxpayers)
http://projects.propublica.org/bailout/list
Obama’s bailout of the banks really worked, didn’t it?
So why is Holder wasting time with gunrunning to Mexico?? Why is ?bama taking money from these guys, i.e. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/14/bailed-out-banks-donating_n_157960.html? (I used Huffpo for you, crystal!), http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2007/07/16/obama-donations-show-strong-wall-st-support/ (the NYTimes!!), http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-04-20/goldman-employees-donated-1-million-to-obama-campaign.html , etc., etc.?? Do you seriously think ?bama will do anything significant to his big donors???? Now who is bending over?
?
The “protestors” are parasites because they are there expecting freebies and handouts.? Listen to them: they just parrot lines they have been fed.? How many of them actually have jobs or mortgages or actually have taken out school loans (vs. their parents)??? Why aren’t they protesting the egregious increases in tuition instead of the institutions loaning them the money?? Why aren’t they protesting the Democrats that forced the banks to make really stupid loans to people that couldn’t afford them to buy votes?
Crystal these?children are protesting your presidents policies of accepting wall street money and giving wallstreet and big business contributors special?access to the whitehouse. I say if you don’t want to pay bank fee’s move your accounts as I did. If there’s malfeasance send the people responsible to jail instead of fining them millions of dollars because when they cook up the schemes they figure? the huge fines into their business model. The fines are not any different then having to pay a bribe to conduct business overseas.
“With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections,” (Obama speaking at his SOTU address referring to the “Citizens United” decision.)
Chugging that righty kool-aide, you all literally trashed him for that statement.
This sentence is on every candidate’s website. “Federal law prohibits contributions from corporations, federal government contractors, labor unions, and foreign nationals.”
Hmmm.? “Floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations to spend without limit in our elections”.???? Yeah, like the unions??? Remember the special visits by SEIU leaders?? ?bama’s Trumka love?? Like the special interests that flooded ?bama’s 2008 campaign with unverified and illegal donations?
?
Puhleeze!
You illustrate for me the genius of the GOP. Convincing the little mice that the fat cats are on your side.
Citizens United is a good thing, after all, the corporations are the “job makers”. (Jobs for who, Taiwan?)
Corporations through donation (to both parties) have slashed their share of the tax burden and shifted it to you!
Corporations are exempt now from environmental regs and child labor laws because they are constantly changing their workplaces to any country which has the lowest wages and worst working conditions.
insurance cos. have pushed themselves into the middle so they can take a large portion of health care spending before you even get any care.
hundreds of billions of dollars go to overpriced and unneeded products made by the military contractors who have inserted themselves into every state.
Yes, Mr. Tea Party, government is bad and we need an unregulated “free market”?
?The first stage of fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power? Mussolini
You illustrate for me the obliviousness of liberals.
?
Jobs for who?? Well, who do you work for?
?
Excessive regulations driving them offshore?? Maybe the word “excessive” escapes you.? If they are exempt as you say, then why are they offshore?
?
Insurance companies “in the middle”??? Who supported Martha Coakley for Kennedy’s seat, a lockstep vote for ?bamacare?? How about AARP, that sold out seniors to grab big insurance bucks from the implementation of ?bamacare?
?
Why buy “overpriced and unneeded” products from “military contractors”?? Who is doing that?? What products?? Specifics!
?
You are quoting Mussolini?!?!?!? LOLOLOL!? Is this a real one, or one like the “quote” you made up for George Bush?
?
“The first stage of socialism is insidious, invasive liberalism.”? -me
?
Actually he got reprimanded for denegrating SCOTUS for what was suppose to be SOTU address. Now?anybody that has any intelligence??tunes him out when he speaks because he’s a broken record.
Crystal, your last post was not your style. Have you resorted to having someone else post for you?
Here is something from 1948 it fits whats happening today
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVh75ylAUXY&feature=youtu.be
Could somebody explain to me why everything is repeated back? Are there any free thinkers in the crowd?
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/john-lewis-is-not-better-than-anyone-occupy-atlanta-refuses-to-allow-civil-rights-icon-to-speak-at-protest/
Occam’s Razor says “no”.
Dimsdale..please….yeah, you don’t know of any unneeded and overpriced products from military contractors. Insurance companies are not the middlemen (yeah, they are necessary for your health),? and on and on.
You either are the most deserving of the Republican “sheep award” , putting your fingers in your ears and saying “baabaaabaaa” or you never read anything other than theblaze. Enlighten me.
Enlighten me with specifics.? And answers to my questions.
Well Dims, you come back with the answers. 🙂
Well, I do believe that the lefties are running the show, and have been for more than four years (lame duck Bush doesn’t count).?? So how could this happen?? It’s like poverty in blue states: if the Dems don’t have some red herring of their own making to draw attention away from their failed policies, they are out of a job.? I don’t think adding another layer of what is effectively a superbureaurocracy (?bamacare) into our healthcare system will do anything, repeat: anything, to make it better.
?
Better to “put my fingers in my ears and say ‘baabaabaa'” than bend over for ?bama and the Democrats and say “please sir, may I have another”!
A real “unneeded and overpriced” product would be the endless entitlement programs the Dems churn out.?? Take a look at the percentage of the federal budget these programs consume (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget): more than twice the defense budget.
Dims on fire, Crystal little hard to disprove facts? Still waiting for the mothership to send answers?
Crystal, you started my week off with a laugh, Thanks
Who could oppose trust fund bohemians and free pizza!?? And where in the hell is Sammy on these issues??? We’ve got 66 comments with not a single one coming from Sammy!?? I was expecting an even split between Sammy and Dimsdale 🙂
I’m holding up my end!? I hope sammy is okay.
This is the fun thing about blog entries like this one. 🙂
i figured out what the 99 is for… 99 bottles of beer on the wall. we need something to wash down the pizza.
I thought it was their average IQ…
Dims, you’re being faaaar too generous in your estimation.? This is what came to my mind with the “99%”….99, it’s what they’re lookin’ for…99, they always come back for more…”
and more…and more…and more…with hands extended and a snotty, punk attitude.? I’d be embarrassed if my kids ever showed up at a protest like that.? it’s enough to make a mom wanna puke.
Maybe I should have said “combined IQs”…..?? 😉
