TKC EXCLUSIVE AND BREAKING NEWS!!! BEHIND THE SCENES @ OCCUPY KC!!!

Let's try to be objective.

The baristas, d-bags and plebs of all kinds currently Occupying KC deserve fair coverage despite the fact that I've seen more than quadruple the number of Latinos protest on local streets with barely a mention from the news.

But I digress  . . . AND I WON'T EVEN DWELL ON THE FACT THAT THE OCCUPY KC MOVEMENT ISN'T UP TO SPEED WHEN IT COMES TO INCLUDING LOCAL MINORITIES INTO THEIR SO FAR LILY WHITE MOVEMENT!!!



But it's a new day . . . And we all want to find out if the Kansas City Occupy KC crowd is a genuine protest movement or just another clandestine Union and Democrat effort to push forward President Obama's Jobs Bill.

It's kind of tough to determine as much given that "they" claim it's a leaderless movement . . . Kind of like City Hall on a Tuesday.

TKC IS SURPRISED TO DISCOVER AND REVEAL THAT OWNERSHIP OF THE OCCUPYKC.COM WEBSITE ADDRESS ISN'T SECRET!!! THAT'S NICE START AND A BIT OF TRANSPARENCY !!!

Do the research yourself but I'm pretty sure that part of the group's social media leadership are connected to local NORML (weed) protesters . . . Which makes them quite awesomely grass roots.

WE'VE ALREADY NOTED THAT THE OCCUPY KC GROUP IS DIVIDED AND THEY'RE SOON TO SPLIT INTO FACTIONS!!! STILL, IT'S ALWAYS A STRUGGLE FOR ANY GATHERING OF PEOPLE TO STAY ON MESSAGE!!!



Let's be fair on this front too . . .

* We've heard about a lot of direct Democracy at the "General Assembly" and there really does seem to be an effort to hear everybody's perspective.

* However, there were TKC EXCLUSIVE EYEWITNESS reports of some folks "sign checking" and basically censoring everybody who showed up with more controversial billboards.

* Libertarians and Lefties have a lot in common . . . But it seems SOME OF THEIR VERY REAL DIFFERENCES are at the heart of the Occupy KC conflict.

And then . . .

A KICK-ASS KANSAS CITY POLITICAL EXPERT TELLS US THAT OCCUPY KC HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME "QUITE VISIBLE" IF THEY CARRY OUT THEIR PLANS!!!

People who know people are telling TKC to look closely at the crowd . . . Some of Kansas City's most influential folks are now taking an interest in the movement . . .

Here's what one of those folks said EXCLUSIVELY TO TKC:

"If they follow through on everything they will be quite visible to the general public. They had around 400 or even 500 people today at Penn Valley. They are on their march now. Your favorite "pink hair lady" is causing tension with the Occupy Wall Street/KC forces. She is a far out libertarian and believes in things like abolishing the Federal Reserve. She and her follow travelers would like to hijack the movement and they are getting lots of push back."

To wit . . .
