Author’s Note: This interview comes in the form of a lengthy emailed response to questions posed to our Wall Street Insider in recent days. The initial part of that response has been republished here with only minor editing per request.
Every movement that seeks to enslave a country, every dictatorship or potential dictatorship, needs some minority group as a scapegoat which it can blame for the nation’s troubles and use as a justification of its own demands for dictatorial powers. In Soviet Russia, the scapegoat was the bourgeoisie; in Nazi Germany, it was the Jewish people; in America, it is the businessmen.
– Ayn Rand
____________________________
WS Insider: I thank you for your concern but assure you it is not necessary. I am doing quite well personally, though remain doubtful of a peaceful outcome between protesters and police back in New York and throughout the country for that matter. You continue to ask me why I left. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say you continue to ask me the specific reasons for my leaving. When last we spoke, I shared with you my general fear of remaining so close to the conflict. The stories of protesters assaulting Wall Street employees, the broken promise of a Mayor who had originally indicated a willingness to clean out the park, which in turn indicated those who were assumed to be in power and handling the situation, perhaps were not, or never were.
But you want more specific reasons it seems. More personal reasons for my leaving. Very well then. You have gained my trust sufficiently that I will share with you the following story as a means of doing just that. If you wish to share it with your readers, you may do so. I apologize in advance for my spelling and general lack of writing skills. Any help you can provide in making it a bit more understandable is welcome.
Let me start this by reminding you of that example I shared before regarding the unreported assault of an employee of a firm. I was not entirely honest in my sharing of that story with you. That is not to say I lied, because I most certainly didn’t. I simply did not include the entire truth. I will provide the explanation of what I mean to you now.
That person who was assaulted, who I had told you then was instructed by their superiors to not report the incident to the police, I am very familiar with him. We have known one another our entire lives. On that day he made the short journey down from their office to Zuccotti Park in the early morning hours of what would have otherwise been just another normal workday. But on that particular day the combination of anti-Wall Street news reports, the signs being carried about by protesters threatening violence and death, the intimidation coming from politicians including the Obama administration that Wall Street was to be made to pay a price for something it was far from entirely responsible for, it led this older gentleman on that day to head back down to ground level, walk out the building entrance, cross Liberty on foot, and ask a small group of protesters what in the hell was it they wanted from Wall Street? Or the government? Or society? What did they want? That was all this person asked of them. An answer as to what did those kids want? What was the purpose for all of them camping out in the park? The signs? The threats? The confrontations with police? Why?
The initial response was jeering. This person was not satisfied with that response. Perhaps anger had overcome reason. Sixty-odd years old. Chronic back problems. Hardly the kind of man prepared to physically confront a group of people much younger and physically stronger than he. But as was said, perhaps anger overcame reason in that moment, and a confrontation was initiated. Not physical, but verbal. More demands for answers. “I am Wall Street!” this person told them. “I am Wall Street!” He tried to explain to those young people how he had worked himself through college nearly 50 years ago, the son of Jewish immigrants who had come to America from France in the early months of the occupation. Who by luck and determination escaped to the southern part of their homeland that momentarily remained somewhat free, and eventually made their way to this country. A young couple who had spent their first decade in America near poverty as the husband, who back in France had been among the intellectual elite, now worked two manual labor jobs in Hells Kitchen to put food on the table and keep the heat on in their small one bedroom apartment. The kids were always reminded that no matter how tough their life seemed in America, it was far superior to what their mother and father had fled back in France as German tanks rolled across the countryside rounding up their people and placing them in the trains.. Each of them had lost family to the Nazis. Most died in the labor camps. One died fighting for just over a year in the resistance. In America the children of these French immigrants were sometimes mocked and ridiculed for being Jewish by a minority of ignorant school children, but their lives were never threatened, and opportunities for success were plentiful. It was, all things considered, a most beautiful country where they were allowed to live in relative peace and openly go to Temple. They were taught from the time of their birth that in America, if you worked hard and you worked smart, good things would result.
This story told to those Occupy protesters was met with very little interest and even less sympathy. The protesters shouted and leered at the man for his admission to working on Wall Street. They called him a leech. They called him the problem. Over and over again they would point their fingers and repeat “You’re the problem man! You’re the problem!” What that problem was specifically they would or could not say. They were simply repeating what the media had told them. What their peer group had told them. What President Obama and the Democrats had told them. What the union members who were dropping off protesters into the park had told them.
And finally, after a few minutes of shouting about him being the problem, one of those young protesters finally used the man’s being Jewish as a weapon. “You’re just one of the bloodsucking Jews! Another Jewish banker! Another Jewish banker!” He repeated that over and over to the man. This stupid, silly, shabbily dressed college aged boy with perfectly capped and whitened teeth wearing a newer Hermes watch that the man knew for a fact as not being an insubstantial item, having gifted one to his own son just last year in honor of his college graduation – how does one respond to such open racism and hypocrisy? Especially when they find themselves now surrounded by it?
Maybe he could have shared with those kids his experiences on September 11th, 2001. A date that still seems like yesterday to those who lived it, but to these kids apparently never actually happened. That blue-sky morning when he heard the first plane hit the towers. When he walked out onto the street and looked just a few blocks down to see the smoke rising into the sky. When he then nervously got on his cell phone to try and reach his son in law who had just weeks ago been hired on with a small banking firm in one of the towers. His son in law never answered that cell phone call.
They attended his memorial service almost a month later. The man’s daughter had refused to admit her husband had died. She clung to hope he had somehow survived, was missing, perhaps among the few remaining unnamed survivors spread throughout New York’s many hospitals. But finally she accepted his death, as all who knew and loved him had come to do as well. Those were such tough and proud times for Wall Street. So many memorials, funerals, tears, anger, pride and determination to shake it off, fight back, and return to work. In those days, which now seem so long ago in the current political climate, there was no stigma associated with working for a bank, or an investment firm. The man and those like him wore that work as a badge of honor. They were, as requested by then President Bush, helping to get New York and the country back on its feet after 9-11. They had all lost loved ones and friends to those attacks, or knew somebody who had. The hurt has numbed, it’s no longer debilitating, but it has never left.
Hatred is what fueled the Nazis so many years ago. Hatred is what fueled the tragedy of September 11th. And hatred is what that man saw in the faces of those Occupy protesters that day in the park. He is not proud to admit that his own hatred then welled up in his heart against those kids who took it upon themselves to call him names, slander his ethnicity, and threaten his well being. Profanity was exchanged. Fingers pointed, then jabbed into his chest. A shove came against his back from behind causing the man to fall down. He got up to his feet with some difficulty. A hand helped him. One of the kids who sensed things were going too far. Which one it was he cannot recall and at the time he didn’t care. He hated all of them. If he had a gun he worries he would have shot them. Shot them for their idiotic protests. Shot them for the memory of his parents. The memory of his son in law. The memory of friends lost to others who had communicated hatred for this country just as these Occupy protesters now do. The memory of a time in America when working hard and living right were seen as values to be respected, not things to be mocked and ridiculed.
The man didn’t have a gun though. Thankfully. All he had was a back now screaming in pain, a scrape on his forehead, and a growing fear that he must get out of that park and back to his office. And so he ran away. Literally, as best he could, he ran. He ran past a single police officer who either didn’t see, or pretended he didn’t see, what had just happened. He ran into his building but did not take the elevator. He didn’t want anyone to see him. The shame he felt in being a coward. Of not further confronting those kids. Of trying to explain to them how they were being used for something by others that they clearly did not understand. Of trying to save those kids from themselves. He took the stairs. Slowly. He was out of breath. Worried he could have a heart attack. He kept walking up the stairs though. One by one. One by one. One by one. He cursed himself. He cursed the terrorists. He cursed the unions. He cursed those kids. He cursed the Nazis. And he almost cursed the president. He stopped short of doing that. He wouldn’t go so far. His parents raised him better than to do that. He continued to pray for the well being of President Obama. Prayed that he be given the wisdom to do what was right for country. And even as time and action proved that those prayers were not being answered, the man continued and continues, to pray for President Obama. He’s the president and deserves at least that much. Doesn’t he?
So he finally made it up to his office. Hurried by so as not to be seen. Closed the door behind him. He wept. Uncontrollably. He wept as quietly as he could. Worried the sounds might be heard outside his door. He felt such shame for having been so weak in that park. So useless. So easily manhandled. He felt shame for his tears. And the hatred that was directed at him. They looked at him as something less than human. Would it be so far fetched then to imagine one of them stabbing him on his way to or from work? They now knew his face, where his office was located, the door he came in and out of. Police officers are now being attacked by these protesters so why not him? What if some unbalanced protester was to follow him home? Would his wife or grandchild be in danger? What about a co-worker? All because he had confronted those kids and then shown such weakness and ran away. Just as the Mayor had been so weak in refusing to remove the protesters from the park as he had promised to do. Appeasement. It emboldens them. Makes them more confrontational. More dangerous. Maybe deadly. Just as it had done to Hitler and to the terrorists.
The decision was made then to leave the city until this conflict was resolved. He remains hopeful that resolution is a peaceful one, but also remains very concerned that will not be the outcome as it seems those behind these protests are pushing for a much more violent result. That in turn is attracting the fringe radical elements that appear quite comfortable with taking much more aggressive personal action against those of us they now simply categorize as “Wall Street”, just as an entire group of people, regardless of what country they lived in at the time of the Nazi aggressions, were categorized as “Jews”. What was it that President Obama told them to do? Put on their boots and mobilize? And his words and treatment against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? His assertion that American business is lazy? It all seems to fit with a prevailing theme within the Obama White House. Why a president would communicate such divisive things I cannot understand. I just continue to pray he is made to realize the dangers of what he is doing in turning America against America during these difficult economic times.
Perhaps, eventually, despite his respect for the office and traditions of the President of the United States, this man will dispatch to willing and actionable participants information on how to obtain the documented proof of wrongdoing by certain administration officials who engaged in repeated and illegal graft of public taxpayer dollars? Billions upon billions of dollars of which examples like Solyndra are just one among many?
Will he find the courage to do so even if such courage left him in Zuccotti Park so recently? I am certain he will. As I said, we have known each other a very long time.
WOW, I have a distinct feeling that Wallstreet’s friend, is Wallstreet himself.
If this is the case, I pray for him. If he does know the “TRUTH” about this administrations wrongdoings regarding the taxpayers dollars, I beg him to stand
for the truth, many others will follow. I, and many others, “have your back” Wall street Insider.
Glad he’s decided to leave the city for now.
Twitter’s not working, but I’ll come back later and tweet this out.
This is so sad, not just for him, but for our country.
It’s not sad, it’s wonderful.
We’re seeing the death scream of Obamism.
It’s stupid to be afraid of these people.
Think about it:
Three short years ago they won the White House and Congress by very large margins.
Now they are reduced to sending rabble into the streets.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Astonishing. It’s amazing I am reading this about our own country, of neighbor turning against neighbor.
All because of one political ideology’s bloodlust for power.
This must end.
I so agree ! I can not believe this happened in America the country that I love…We are better than this ! I ask that this man would forgive the ignorance of these pwoplw on wall street.NOT for their good but for his own goodness that he has shown by not cursing the president and praying for him. THIS I have a Hard time to do .My heart and prayer support him totally ! May God Bless HIm and His family abudently !
Exactly NameJ. This is sheer lust for power born in the brains of evil men and taking root in the unthinking minds of our miseducated youth.
The growing anti-semitism from the left hs bothered me for several months . As worrisome as it is , it’s also almost amusingly hypocritical : most of the originators of modern leftist thinking and practice were and are Jewish . How can the media simply ignore this ? Are they so invested in this President that they would do anything to protect him , no matter how many scandals erupt , no matter how egregious they are ? Or is there something more sinister afoot ? I fear Hitler and Stalin are smiling at us right about now .
The media will do anything to protect kenya boy; count on it. There is something much more sinister happening and it’s right around the corner.
Wow. People, or shall I say “evil” never changes does it? That’s the bad news. The good news is God doesn’t either. When I read this it reminded me of what they did so cruely to Jesus…..same irrational hatred spurred on and helped by the demons of satan. Yes, we are instructed to pray for our leaders which I do – however, I also pray for truth and justice (yes, thus my “name’) to come forth. I’ve been fervently praying for brave, patriotic whistleblowers to come forth so this will happen to stop this highly evil runnawy Obama train of destruction for this country (yes, like Hitler). Perhaps my prayers are being answered (along with millions more) as we now have the Fast and Furious deal, Solyndra, etc.happening. Now it hopefully will be this WS “friend” – PLEASE !!! It’s also truly the time of the song “Onward Christian Soldiers” to be enacted & so relevant. God bless you and protect you, “friend” of Wall Street Insider……DO THE RIGHT THING !!!!!!!! (You too Ulsterman – thanks)
Ok Ulstermn, you did it, you brought a tear to my eye, for this man and countless others like him. I have heard these stories from others that suffered, lost family members and escaped from the wrath of the Nazi’s and Hitler. Two of my neighbors in fact would relate well to this man’s story, they say when they arrived in the USA, they got off the plane and kissed the ground.
What a SAD time in the USA when American’s turn on fellow Americans.. but isn’t that what we know was Obama’s plan all along? Divide and conquer?
Yes, dark clouds and sad times in the USA… time to get the clown out.
please tell the Wall Street Insider and his friend we have them in our prayers.
I 2nd Margie.
Me too Margie. The vivid image of this older Jewish man (heck he’s not much older than me) in his office weeping silently, all the while ashamed that he wasn’t able to stand up to the madness spilling over on the street, will stay with me for a long time.
I hope when he goes to Temple God will give him a feeling of peace. UM, please let your Wall Street insider know we care about this gentleman (which he is, in every sense of the word) and bless him for the sake of the Lord we both serve. May he continue to prosper, and let him know we greatly admire and honor him for all he has done and endured.
Ace ,
I agree . The Grime Squad is about all O has left . Unfortunately , the Occupy crowd have endeared themselves to politicians , the press , and many who roam the halls of academia . Fortunately , outside of the union bosses , mainstream America isn’t falling for it – at least not yet . Best to be on guard all the same .
I agree with whoever said it first: Wallstreet Insider is writing about his own experiences, and very powerfully written it is.
I sincerely hope that he will dispatch those bits of information to those who can and will use them, and does it very soon. Without something big and bad to take down that placeholder in the White House, this country will find it’s self in a civil war in the next 5 years. Without that information, from this brave man or others like him, I’m terrified we will be forced to see the placeholder re-elected by the useful idiots who put him there in the first place, and that man will never let go of that much power peacefully. There will be civil war instead.
I will keep WS Insider’s friend in my prayers. I feel certain he will do the right thing.
An interesting story. Certainly it helps put a human face on “Wall Street”.
It has the possibility of generating sympathy for “Wall Street”.
But there are business practices which occur on Wall Street and these business practices are also used by international bankers.
These business practices are abusive and so self-centered as to be a detriment to the American nation as a whole.
The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act has resulted in many abuses and allowed FED loaned money to be used for risky leveraged transactions (read bets) rather than the bank’s own earned money — money that can be used however the banks see fit (but if the bank loses the bet and the money, nobody bails them out — they suck it up or they go bankrupt.
Wall Street insider needs to look in the mirror and examine how Wall Street has encouraged and promoted outsourcing and offshoring of American jobs.
Republicans, including this one, have reasons to question Goldman Sachs and others on Wall Street like G. E. who paid zero taxes.
Again, a good story, worth telling, generates sympathy, but did Wall Street have any PERSONAL sympathy for all the Americans that have suffered as the result of Wall Street abuses?
I doubt it.
I’m sure Wall Street’s collective thought, if there was any recognition at all, was a shrug of the shoulders and, “it’s just business”.
Well, when, “it’s just business” and it results in the harming of American productive power, i.e., tens of thousands of factories and their production offshored and outsoured to foreign lands and millions of American jobs lost and a shrinking middle class…
That ain’t “just business”.
That’s unpatriotic and harmful to America and needs to be changed.
Oh, you mean like Princess Pelosi’s sweetheart deals with credit card companies? Pay-for-play, which is what it is – and the rules that Washington set up that forced banks to loan money to people who had nothing to pay back with? Banks did what they had to do – Wall Street used the rules that Washington set up and failed to improve. At least 17 time, that is, when Dubya tried to clean up the lending rules, thwarted by the Frank’n Dodd monster.
Crony Capitalism in this day and age is Crony Socialism. Looks like Pelosi and company are quite happy soaking up mud in the swamp they claimed they’d drain.
And one other thing: the San Joaquin Valley debacle – the cutoff of water. That is alleged by some Californians to be a ploy, so Princess Pelosi and her hubby could buy up bargain-sale land. Which is believable. Kill the almond trees and farms, run the Hispanic farmers off – then buy up their land. Happened in the Great Depression – and Pricess Pelosi is doing it now.
Wall Street is not in a position to correct nor admonish Washington. That’s the job of the press and the American people. Even NBC is catching on. Don’t blame Wall Street for catching the STDs readily spread by the prostitutes in Washington.
VTX: I agree with almost all of your reply.
But don’t think it was all government forcing the naive bankers into making bad loans. The banks thought they wouldn’t take the loss… if there were any losses it would be passed onto the government.
Also, recognize that Wall Street lobbies Congress and the executive and makes large political contributions. Wall Street gave to Obama’s campaign by a 4 to 1 margin over McCain.
I have a friend whose family lost their almond groves because of the water cut off. It had been her family’s livelihood for several generations and now those trees are dead.
It’s going to be a long haul and I hope and pray all patriots are prepared for what lies ahead. God bless us and keep us safe. Amen.
Jimbo,
You’re right; Wall Street Insider admitted that they all gave Odumbo their support. Some still do – amazingly. Reap-sow-reap.
Live Oak,
The press has repeatedly ignored the story – pointedly. Paul Rodriguez – the liberal comedian who supported Obama – begged the administration to cut the water back on. Saladczar (my nickname for the head of the Department of the Inferior) “magnanimously” cut back on 40%. Rodriguez saw what this did to Hispanic farm owners and workers – the administration was totally uncaring. They remind me of the movie Braveheart, when the local garrison leader who took the right to another man’s wife slit Wallace’s wife’s neck while claiming how lenient he had been toward the occupied population. Metaphorically speaking, Saladczar should meet the same fate.
I spoke with some Californians – retired military – in Va Beach awhile ago, before the latest Pelosi scandal, and they had indicated the intentional ruination of the land so that Pelosi’s husband could buy it up cheap. Despicable.
Real conservationists – not Environmentalists – see those trees dying and naturally feel sad. There was not one single reason for those trees to die. But the press ignored the tragedy – the economic and ecological tragedy, and the press has become more than complicit in this. They’re collaborators. I’m truly sorry for your friends – and their trees.
F this administration.
VTX,
It’s been a real heartache. Thank you for your insight and for your kind words.
I have to believe that the patriots, all of us, will win this battle and that justice will be served and sooner than later. There is no other choice!
God bless you and keep you VTX..
LiveOak and VTX, my dad born and raised in Stockton and his mom and dad are buried there. My husband was born and raised in Fresno and we lived there recently (during the water wars, which unfortunately are ongoing). We saw a dead orchard out in Huron and thousands of acres of the most productive farmland in the world sitting fallow while people went hungry and millions were unemployed, and the Tea Party and our church members handed out carrots grown in China to idle farm workers at a food drive event in Mendota.
My heart breaks for California’s Central Valley and in particular Fresno County. Salazar is an incompetent puppet (well Obama is too) who I pray to God loses his job in 2013 if not sooner.
Your writing Mr Insider was brilliant in telling your own personal story as if writing about a friend.
You are a true patriot and man of dignity,honor & respect for God and Country.
Your prayers for our president are reaching God’s ears and you will be blessed
for your humility and prayers .
I will be praying for your safety .
I pray you do all you can to expose Obama so we can take back Our Country.
We must all honor God in our actions as patriots of this great country he has entrusted us with.
God Bless you & Your Family
Can’t help being reminded of the story of Soros’ youth. How he “hid” with a foster family, denying his faith and working with the Nazis, collecting people and their property for his Fuhrer. Looks like he’s doing it again…hiding behind union organizations, gathering people and their property and finances for the collective and fostering a false ‘fuhrer’ to destroy a country–all for the lust of power!!!!
I had no idea of Soros’ history of colluding with the Nazis against his own people. I need to do some reading on this. The man is the lowest form of life.
No one should ever have to leave the safety of their home or place of employment because of some punks. This man tried educating those ungrateful little brats with a history lesson about what achieving the American dream the right way is all about, yet instead of listening they attacked their elder anyway.
It is a sad day for all Americans to know we have a socially ill, lost generation amongst us whom feel entitled to depend on the government, their parents, grandparents, siblings, and in some cases people they happen to meet, hence a glimpse of society today can be seen when viewing some of the television court shows.
Hopefully one day soon, the man spoken about in the story will be able to return without the specter of fear and uneasiness.
I would ask Wall Street Insider: would you pray for Haman? I grieve at your grief, but I ask you again: would you pray for Haman?
I remember telling people about Crowne Heights – some describe it as “the first American Pogrom.” I remember telling people about Chas Freeman, the anti-Semite, would-be Intel Director. And many other things that point to this President – the liar and deceiver – having nothing good in store for Jewish people nor for Israel. His recent words are only a part of what he feels. Go back to Prairie Fire, a book co-authored by Willy Ayers, American terrorist – he dedicated his book to a list of people, including Sirhan Sirhan. The book scathingly condemned Israel. This was back in the 60s and 70s! When anti-Semitism wasn’t popular!
And now it is. Thanks to President Haman, it has become fashionable to use anti-Semitic language. One former city official in my town referred to another city official as “Jew boy.” Not to his face, but to mine.
We have yet to see the worst of President Haman and his Occupiers. And it seems as if our entire nation is being occupied – like the France he describes. One day, we may have to resort to an American Underground to deal with these Occupiers. And it will not be safe to climb aboard a train – not knowing where it will really stop.
can’t help but wonder .. would the WS Insider prey for Hitler as well?
The sickest thing of all is the President putting down the hard working American people every time he is out on the world stage bad mouthing us as he shanks us all with another knife in our back, saying utterly insulting phrases like America has lost ambition, America has gone soft, and America is Lazy.
Only someone who believes himself a King would use such defeatist language in order to belittle, admonish, and apologize to the world for America, the most generous country in the world.
The majority of congress is no better, for they do not care about the people they took an oath to serve, for they only care about passing laws that will benefit their stock portfolios, land holdings, and their campaign coffers, along with passing legislation that applies to the public and not themselves. Of course the health insurance mandate does not apply to them either, while millions of people continue lose their insurance. I am sure they don’t care, for they are too busy finding out what the government can do for them, instead of what they can do for the people they are suppose to be serving.
I pray that all the predators and parasites in all branches of government be impeached, jailed, and or voted out of office.
You’re exactly right. He’s scolding us while he looks to the rest of the world for his personal validation and approval. I’m disgusted that the People’s highest office, the sanctuary of Lincoln, Truman, Ike, and Reagan is currently “occupied” by this marxist, nihilist regime.
2012, post haste!
This is only the beginning of the violence. Just wait and see. The WH will do nothing to quell it. They want it. It will let them take and wield more power than you can imagine.
Get ready folks.
It’s here.
Thank you for telling this story, Wall Street Insider and Ulsterman. May it go viral. God bless you both.
Sorry to hear that WSI was so poorly treated by the #occupy crowd. Another 1-percenter went to take on the crowds there and met with more than a modicum of success. His name is Peter Schiff and he took a camera crew with him. The discussions he had with the occupiers portray for all to see the astonishing depth of their ignorance and idiocy.

Occupy Wall Street reminds me of Hitler for another reason. The Beer Hall Putsch.
Generally a failed Nazi propaganda attempt – the Beer Hall Putsch eventually led to a march more out of desperation and frustration than anything. A conflict ensued and 4 police and 16 Nazi’s were killed.
Hitler was tried and jailed. He wrote Mein Kampf and dedicated it to the 16 fallen. They were revered as martyrs by the Nazis.
OWS is the American socialists Beer Hall Putsch.
Right, for sure. OWS is the Brownshirt crew, the idiot thugs who are expendable – even Odumbo knows how worthless they are, fodder. Wait until they’re replaced by the professionals.
BS yourself. If it was an inside job, Bush could have used a PEO to declare a state of emergency – the kind President Haman plans to use. See Rex 84. A coup was almost tried before – and Bush had every excuse to use a PEO to do the same. Fact is, he was a man of character, even though statins affected his reasoning power in the latter part of his Presidency, weaking his resolve, just as the White House doctor screwed up his father’s Presidency with the overtreatment of his Graves disease (Clinton’s best decision was to replace him as soon as he took office.)
Soros claims to be a Jew, too – and the term “neocon” is a pejorative for “Jew-lover” and “Israel-firster.” Is that really what you intended to say?
Banning interest would be fine – if you love Shariah Law. I’m guessing you endorse the concept in some way?
As far as replacing Odumbo – that’s perhaps the only point you made that approaches the definition of sanity.
Interesting that the post my comment was a reply to has disappeared. Scrubbed? It was nonsensical anyway – no great loss.
Thanks, Ulsterman!
“Every movement that seeks to enslave a country, every dictatorship or potential dictatorship, needs some minority group as a scapegoat which it can blame for the nation’s troubles and use as a justification of its own demands for dictatorial powers. In Soviet Russia, the scapegoat was the bourgeoisie; in Nazi Germany, it was the Jewish people; in America, it is the businessmen.”
– Ayn Rand
May Wall Street never forget this lesson and return to its generation folly of feeding the Democratic beast.
It seems to me that the last 2 paragraphs are most significant. Does the WS insiders’ friend have documentation that will bring down the entire corrupt Obama administration? I pray he does and I pray he uses it to bring down the President and the criminals in his orbit.
In spite of thinking them deluded and idiots for the most part I nonetheless have some real empathy for the OWS followers. The leaders are professionals whom for the most part need a beating about the collarbone with a heavy truncheon. As for the rest they are coming into a world that is so messed up, so rapidly spinning in circles and so free of clear rational choices and directions that it is no wonder that are acting out in such ways. I feel for them as they have been manipulated, psy-oped, Alinskyed, Ipodded and tweeted have to death while missing the pleasures of being off somewhere on their own lost in thought , contemplation or study free of cellular intrusions. They are drowning in a digital sludge or factoids not truly of their making. I’m glad I’m not a child, as most of them are, in these times.
The OWS crowds are gone. Looks like a normal street again.
The Mayor finally did his job. I’m sure those who hired the protesters didn’t argue the point, either – the protesters made themselves look ridiculoua and barbaric, an image that is not separate from reality.
UM ,
You indicated that this is the first part of the interview . Is there more , or have I misread you ?
I feel so bad for that poor man. I was stationed in a unit that patrolled the Czech border before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Over time, many of the German citizens who lived along the border became friendly with us. Some of these people were actually Czech’s and would tell us how bad life was for their family and friends who lived under communist oppression. They were so thankful to us, as Americans, for liberating them from two evils – Nazi Germany and Communist Russia.
This obviously isn’t the same man in the story above but it is video of another old Jewish man confronting the Wall Street protesters during the first few days. http://toddkinsey.com/blog/2011/10/06/occupy-wall-street-protesters-hurl-anti-semitic-remarks/
If this is the initial part of the interview , will you be publishing the rest soon ?
That was powerful. I urge everyone to be cautious on November 17, when the protesters plan to shut down Wall Street, subways, and bridges.
We all need to pray.
Leftists, just like their godfathers Mao, Stalin and Hitler love scapegoats. They are directly responsible for the extermination of upwards of 100 million people.

You will NOT destroy Liberty. You will NOT destroy the Constitution. You will NOT destroy American Sovereignty at the expense of an NWO / Globalist agenda.
We win and you LOSE….suck it scumbags!!!!!
Ardent Patriot.
