The creator of OWS is a 69-year-old Canadian resident named Kalle Lasn, longtime left-wing filmaker, radical environmentalist and lifelong “student of revolution.”

Lasn is at war with what he calls “the dog-eat-dog world of capitalism,” condemning “consumerism” as “psychologically corrosive” and the American economy as “a destructive system” that has caused “a terrible degradation of our mental environment.”

Like all modern radicals, Lasn is above all a nihilist, a destroyer rather than a builder. In 1989, the year the Berlin Wall fell, Lasn launched a campaign to “wreck” consumerism by creating, the Adbusters Media Foundation. This group set to be a “global network” - now 95,000 strong -of culture jammers” and “anarchists.” …. p. 7

Adbusters is sustained by six-figure grants from the Glasser Progress and Tides foundations - institutions run by left-wingers willing to fund organizations dedicated to destroying the system that makes their charity possible. Tides is heavily bankrolled by George SOROS’s Open Society Institute… p. 8

On June 9, 2011, Lasn registered the domain name “OccupyWallStreet.org” - thus giving birth to the movement with what he hoped to “pull the current monster [of capitalism] down… Obama had already injected the class-warfare narrative into the political air as part of his re-election strategy… Obama expressed sympathy for the movement, saying that he “understands the frustrations that are being expressed” by protestors. “You are the reason I ran for office.”… p. 9

In the early 1970s, Rathke founded ACORN, soon to be the largest radical organization in America. ACORN’s specialty was voter fraud, conceived as a strategy to break the electoral system. ACORN activists provided a powerful force behind Barack Obama’s rise to the Senate in 2004 and his election to the White House in 2008... p. 13

… Another Sixties radical, Frances Fox Piven, spoke to an OWS rally in New York. It was Piven who had come up with the break-the-system strategy that Rathke’s welfare organization adopted… The Community Reinvestment Act - the cornerstone of the 2008 mortgage crisis - was a triumph of the Piven strategy and of ACORN’s political influence in the Democratic Party… p. 14

Muscle for OWS was provided by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) through a board member and longtime left-wing organizer, Stephen Lerner. The SEIU had been a driving force behind the Seattle riots against the World Trade Organization a dozen years before, and had put $60 million into Barack Obama’s presidential election campaign. Like the other OWS leaders, Lerner is a dedicated socialist whose declared goal is to “destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement… As with the other OWS radicals, nihilism was the order of the day… p. 15

George H. Kubeck - We have very destructive organizations and movements within our country. Responsible leaders in both parties should have nothing to do with them. Instead, we have Democratic leaders shamefully catering to them. This is a tragedy for the whole country and an election issue.
