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 . . .
TAKE A TKC EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT THE UPCOMING OCCUPY KC SCHEDULE FOR THIS WEEK THAT SEEMS TO INCLUDE PROTEST ACTION ALL OVER KANSAS CITY!!!
Click the photo for a bigger image or use this link . . . It really does look like the Occupy KC folks are stepping up their game.
So, while I like all of the pretty pictures and philosophical talk about the efficacy of protest movements . . . TKC IS BRINGING THE SCOOP FROM INSIDERS OF THIS GROWING PROTEST MOVEMENT!!!

ReplyDeleteOCCUPY THE HOOD!
ReplyDeleteAs the final proof that the tea party and their right wing fellow travelers continue to dance to the beat of their corporate masters, Fox News and GOP leaders condemn the Occupy Wall Street crowd as anti American. Tea Party got its start because of TARP until the corporate money people who fund Dick Armey's tea party group and others diverted their attention to health care laws and auto company bailouts. Now Occupy folks condemn the same TARP program and are anti capitalism ????????????? Tea Baggers are so manipulated, but think they are independent of outside control. Sad group.

ReplyDeleteDemocrats are bastardizing the Occopy movement just like Republicans did with the Tea Party movement.
ReplyDeleteI am curious, if you are Democrat that voted for Obama and all the current elected officials in this area, do you just hold up a sign with the word "Idiot" and an arrow pointing down?

ReplyDelete@9:09,
ReplyDeleteThere are likely more libertarians in KC than socialists but the libertarians have work and other responsibilities keeping them from spending their days in the park.

ReplyDeleteEvidently the at least one libertarian has plenty of weekend time on his hand and knows how to cut and paste well enough to spam the crap out of this post.
ReplyDeleteNot enough minorities included Tony? Don't blame the protesters, blame the minorities. I am sure they would be welcome if they came out to join the protest.

Oh, gee. How to follow such an incisive series of comments? Oh, well, here goes...
ReplyDelete9:09: There are probably many more libertarians than you'd think in KC. Some of them don't even know they're libertarian.
If you think laws regulating things that are none of the government's business like marriage, drugs, prostitution, etc. are an intrusion into privacy as well as a massive waste of money, you're a potential libertarian.
And warning: libertarians are across the political spectrum. Some are left-leaning, not objecting to helping those who honestly can't help themselves. Others are Randian (a bit too looney even for me), and so on.
You might taka a look at the magazine Reason if you want to explore beyond the parody and see what libertarians think.
losers lose
ReplyDeletewhich category are you, butello?
ReplyDeleteloser?

ReplyDeleteI think a lot of these people just like the tea party finally realize that it doesn't matter - Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative our elected officials are nothing but scum. So when you think the government can solve your problems good luck.

ReplyDeleteThe mexicans and the coloreds arent there for one very good reason...no money or free shit in it for them. As for the stink pickle hippys and spoiled white clowns who are there, it's just a giant cluster fuck. No direction. No leadership. Just a bunch of morons protesting corp america as they use there I phones, cell phones, androids,m twitter, face book, all tools supplied by and from the very people the protestors are bitching about.

Anthony, you have reached the lifespan of an independent blogger. The Powers have you now, and that's why this must end.
ReplyDeleteOCCUPY(T)KC!
Anthony, why do you censor just as much as the people you claim to hate? You really are part of the Censor Class.

Dude, it's just you spamming @ Panera.
ReplyDeleteMaking it so NOBODY else can comment.
Post explaining coming up.
Which panera?
ReplyDelete500 protestors? I'd heard 250-300, but no matter. Back to twelve again today.
ReplyDeleteAnd as another poster stated, if the color down there is too white, Tony, it's not whitey's fault. There is no "whites only' sign up. Maybe there is a phone number the organizers were supposed to call to invite them.
Or maybe.....Blacks and Browns just don't give a fuck, do they?
or maybe they just prefer to sleep indoors in October.
The head honcho at GE got to sit with Michelle Obama at that speech to a joint session of Congress, even though his company is shipping jobs overseas.
ReplyDeleteIs that what these people are protesting?
Tony,
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the censoring of signs, I know because I and artists J.W. Helkenberg C-clamped a (7' x 2.5') dollar bill with a carrot painted over it to the stage, which was covered up by a much more generic sign saying we are the 99%. The artwork 'carrot dollar' can be viewed at The Keyhole Gallery in the crossroads art district and www.JessicaLogsdon.com
1:43: GE's CEO is one of Obama's advisors. Both are getting flack for it.
