I agree. We can call them whatever we want to call them, and some labeling might be accurate and meaningful (though I for one are hard pressed to see how). I think some of the commentary I've seen recently is right on; I see only masses of people. I think the lesson or answer in what is happening is to see if it continues to re-generate after such actions as recently noted (crackdowns, arrests, etc.). If it does, it's pure people action. Some of those people have socialist orientations; some of them are libertarian; some of them are conservatives of the original brand (not the hijacked neo-con version); some of them are TeaParty types (of both the pre-hijacked brand and the post-hijacked version). They are still people. They are people fed up for some similar, differing and over-lapping reasons, but they are still fed up, and they are still people. If this movement is generated or hijacked by forces working for the Fed, the Obama administration, big money, the Rothschilds, the banksters, it must fizzle; what is the point of protesting what is in existence, in power, if you are sent by the ones in control? If it is to appear to be a meaningful protest, that will be like sending inflatable tanks to war. If the ones in control keep sending the blue meanies and the heavy artillery, then the people will act and react.
As for fucking Obama, I am in favor and often say the same thing. But to be fair, it's not really Obama per se, it is the system that has been installed which brought us Obama. The puppet can take on many faces.
