View Full Version : The Robin Hood Tax: Occupy Movement now Marching Straight Off the Globalist Cliff

FYI:
"t was inevitable that a movement which has struggled to agree on a manifesto, would in the end, do the bidding of the very elite globalist powers that they are demonstrating against to begin with.

Instead of achieving freedom from Central Bank debt enslavement, naive Occupiers appear to have taken the bait, pulling the mob towards endorsing a global taxation system, and one to be administered…by a brand new global government body.

As the Occupy Movement sets its sights on the upcoming G20 Summit in France on November 3-4, its globalist handlers behind the scenes have succeeded in carefully directing its crowds towards the Holy Grail of all socialist super-states - the celebrity supported, trendy “Robin Hood Tax”, also known as a Tobin Tax, a financial transaction tax levied on all transactions involving shares, bonds and derivatives. Or so the plan goes…

The resulting funds, they claim, counted in the hundreds of billions of dollars per year, would go toward popular Bono-led liberal heart-string fantasy causes like ‘reducing poverty in the third world’, social programs and surprise, surprise… “combating climate change” and perhaps even saving polar bears – a move that would surely please desperate men like Al Gore (but a complete waste of money seeing that man-made global warming has already been thoroughly discredited).

ROBIN HOOD TAX: Utopian idea, taxing rich and taxing carbon - will not work.

The rallying cry for this globalist wet dream is coming directly from the supposed brain-child of the Occupy Movement, the globalist-backed and Soros foundation-funded organization, Ad Busters, quietly shepherding its flock towards one of the biggest revenue spinning and control scams ever conceived.
.....

Incredibly, the Occupy Movement are not asking the government to cut spending- and become fiscally responsible.

They might also consider asking their beloved government in Washington – and elsewhere around the globe too, where all their tax revenue actually goes right now. If they understood that at present, their Federal Income Tax(in some cases, collected at gunpoint by the IRS) goes directly to paying off the debt which their government owes on each and every dollar printed by the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank.
.......

Real Solution: Disengage with the financial system

It’s an age-old saying, “If you’re not happy, then get out”. OWS protesters should be talking about taking steps to completely disengage from the system that enslaves them- this might include removing their hard-earned liquidity from the system by canceling all credit cards, not taking out student loans, or pointless car and electronic loans.

Another obvious trap of the Robin Hood Tax is that it could(and will) be used target all transactions – including pension funds. Occupiers might instead consider not paying in their pensions and 401K’s into stock market-indexed retirement funds. For older protesters, it might be a case of shifting their IRAs into gold and silver-backed retirement funds, disallowing the speculators and gamblers on Wall Street to decimate their life savings any further.

Has their been any call for a mass protest against the IRS, who continue to defy the US Constitution by robbing each and every working American of their labor and property in order to service their national debt to the Federal Reserve cartel? Certainly this would rock the establishment overnight. The Occupy Movement would have struck the most serious- and the most obvious blow imaginable, one which would finally call into question the legitimacy of the unconstitutional Federal income tax.

Or even better, Occupiers might consider taking the total expenditure of the US military domestically and overseas , and divide by the number of working Americans, giving them an individual figure of money which each protester will refuse to hand over to the Federal government in taxation- a peace protest combined with an intelligent liberty move by free men and women.

Sadly, none of these kind of truly revolutionary ideas have come out of the Liberty Square protests. Instead, all they could manage in the end, is to latch on to one of the most misleading and tyrannical establishment schemes, The Robin Hood Tax - where the 99% end up giving the 1% even more of their hard-earned cash. It addresses the symptom of the financial collapse, not the problem, leaving all the old players still in play to create more bubbles and make fortunes by crashing new markets.

Ironic, but this is the current direction which the angry, but naive OWS mob is being led.

If any of the 99% truly believe that the top-tier banks would happily give away billions per year to the new Robin Hood Taxman, then think again.

As history shows, their new tax will likely be imposed more stringently on small to medium size institutions and fund managers in an effort to drive out any competition to the mega banks- who already enjoy cuts to corporate income tax, and in some cases, pay no tax at all. Big banks are safe, but smaller competition will surely be hit hard by a Robin Hood Tax- ensuring the current hierarchy stays exactly as it is. This has always been the way when blanket government regulations and punitive taxes come into play.

In typically disingenuous fashion, when a mob has no clear objective it normally plays follow the leader. In this case, the leader is foundation-funded Ad Busters, who have supplied the directionless, brainless OWS movement with the very master plan to its own demise.

There, the Supreme General Assembly has taken the bait.

Here, here, Robin of the Hood."

Great thread, ktlight. The original purpose of OWS was something we could all identify with. It's morphed into something else now, with the very people they rallied against, pulling the strings. I can almost imagine George Soros standing at a window watching the protestors with a big, ugly smile on his face.

I am sure I am not the only one who is grateful that you brought this to our attention. Thank you.

I'm not buying this business of Soros orchestrating the Occupy Movement and let's be fearful of these protesters being duped because they don't know what they want and are disorganized and easily led. This is a very new movement and it's grass roots democracy that they are making up on the fly because there's no time to form a third party.

In Oakland, Calif. they get their plaza tent city attacked viciously by the police, tear gassed, concussion grenades and smoke bombs launched at them, over a hundred arrested, one double tour Iraq veteran hospitalized with severe head trauma, driven a couple blocks away ( actually composed of 17 police departments from as far away as seventy miles at the cost of over 2 million dollars) and then regrouped in a four hour meeting where in an almost unanimous vote decided to effect a city wide strike to bring the city to a stand still. I hope they succeed. The last time a city struck in that way was in 1946...and that was Oakland.

Do not underestimate this movement or these people, they know what's wrong and are committed to real change. They are the ones in the streets putting their life on the line for very real goals that are being articulated and refined as the whole movement builds. It's very easy to take pot shots from a comfortable key board sitting on your derriere at home, but remember that this has built very quickly and imo it's not going to be stopped.

Was this a test run coordinated at the Fed. level as a precursor to quashing even larger uprising by those uppity protesters? Probably, and they got to use some of their nifty new weapons and armed tactical vehicles as well. Gosh, it must have been fun with all those new toys that are to be used to protect the 1% and all that is theirs.

To serve and protect the people of Oakland as the Mayor said safely from afar(District of Columbia) as she supported the poor "abused" police officers as they pounded the real patriots of the local area in the downtown confrontation.

Does anyone know anything about research done, as in on the ground interviews, investigations and ect. or is this speculation and disinformation by another arm chair quarterback or paid hack, or is it just fear mongering without even sticking your toe in the water?

I repeat, it's real new and developing fast. Of course we need to be alert to being bought, co-opted, and led astray by those same ugly folks who want nothing to change for the better. However, the protesters on the ground are pretty savvy and aware, so I'd suggest not shooting the thing out of the sky before it's off the ground......and are You helping, I mean like actually taking some positive step even if it's just opening the conversation down at the local coffee shop, or at the gas station while filling up? Or Something?

I know it's hard to have faith after so many miscues and sabotaged dreams, but try to have a little room for expansion for this bud to bloom!

Hi, Craig-

I appreciate your opinion on the OWS movement. I live right outside NYC and have now been down there 4 times. I was there when it began and I was there last week. I can't comment on what is happening elsewhere in the country, but I can tell you what I have seen with my own eyes in NY. The reality - not what we would like it to be - is that the group numbers have dwindled down and there is no clear and unified voice, no leader and no solutions. There are homeless individuals and other people not connected to the movement hanging out in the park and partaking of the food that is passed around. There is a circus-type of atmosphere and some familiar faces there.

There are numerous Acorn linked organizations "helping" out and attempting to lead this movement. Some of them are the National Peoples Action, Pico National Network, Alliance for a Just Cause- all aligned with Acorn. National Peoples Action has picked up where Acorn has left off. Former Acorn Chief Executive, Bertha Lewis, is now involved in the OWS demonstrations. You can you see her at the Park. Another person at the Park is Lisa Fithian- if you don't recognize her name, she's connected to Acorn and she's orchestrating the next step in the protests against the banks. Emails from Lisa Fithian were sent to the organizers to move money out of the banks. The emails have been posted on the net. While the idea may seem enticing, the fact is that it's being orchestrated by Acorn through related groups.

As to whether Soros is involved? Here are some facts, not speculation:

George Soros, billionaire, publicly announced his support for the movement. Oddly, in 2009, he lobbied for greater handouts to bankers, the very people the movement is protesting against. The drive behind the movement started with a call to protest by AdBusters Magazine which is funded by The Tides Foundation- a George Soros funded Foundation. MoveOn is helping to drive the occupation and is being led by Van Jones- remember him? "Rebuild the Dream", is also a Soros connected group organization led by Van Jones. That group is a partnership between several Soros financed organizations. Other Soros financed organizations involved in OWS are "People for the American Way", "Planned Parenthood", "Democracy for America", "Leadership Conference for Civil and Human Rights", "Common Cause", etc. The names may change, but the man behind them all, is George Soros. Wade Rathke, former Acorn founder and union boss, has advocated massive "Day of Rage" protests.

You need only do a little homework on the internet to confirm what I have just posted. As I have said before, the original intent was noble- the reality of what it turned into, is not.

Hello to GCS1103 over there from Craig over here!

Thank you for your fine and educational post. I'm soooo appreciative of the excursions into NYC you spoke of, laying leather to ground, so to speak, and reporting what you found there.

The dwindling numbers is, I hope, part of the ebb and flood of fledgling movements when the might of officialdom is directed upon them like the Eye of Soron in the Lord of the Rings by Tolkien. (a man who understood the depths and undercurrents of the communal psyche under duress)

As for the homeless wandering and needing food, yes, they too need to be lifted up and but for very difficult circumstances largely not created by themselves, aren't able to do any better having been caught in the web of deceit spun by the self proclaimed elite.

If a circus type atmosphere is at times felt, well and good. I wouldn't want to partake in any revolution where I couldn't dance and clown around a bit displaying a good dash of the irreverent humor that Americans are known for. Young people have a way of creating "fun" even while doing serious business and I applaud them for it perhaps because I seem to have had, if I really think about it, that lightness beaten out of me to an alarming degree. :ohwell:

The list of facts that you have laid out so well are, I must admit, witheringly on point in support of your post, some of which, I probably didn't like hearing, know what I mean?:lalala:

Acorn seemed to have been targeted by the right and taken down though I don't know if this was as nefarious as it appeared at the time. You may well be more informed about that organization than I. I do understand that organizations get set up by the not so nice for seemingly good purposes and can accomplish good things while simultaneously doing dirt within the larger plan. Oh, the webs they weave!:spider:

I have included the admittedly silly "faces", which I don't usually do, because they are fun, light, and temporarily livening. The occupy movement, hopefully, will prove to have very different symbolism.... and not at all temporary, but certainly lively, and turn into something larger:bigfish:!

And again, it's brand new!:preggers:

@GCS1103 and Lord Sid,

You are both too cute and deserve each other, and in the best of ways to be sure! Siblingocity has its responsibilities, and I have found more satisfaction in adopted family than in family of orgin. And in terms of sacrifices made per your personals page GCS1103, I can relate to decisions made and no regrets though the price paid was not always easy. Eh wot?
