Bring OccupyWallStreet a Stack of "End the Fed"
Submitted by valhallaviking on Mon, 10/03/2011 - 11:17Someone in the NYC area should bring the #OccupyWallStreeter's a stack of Dr. Paul's "End the Fed" book. If they want to know where the banks' Achilles' Heels are, Ron will tell them. They're angry, which is great, but they need to be educated about WHY the banks are as powerful as they are. This will help them focus their rage on the source of the problem.
If someone in that area is willing to deliver, I'd be willing to help pay. If you can do it, start a Chip-In.

My thoughts on OWS and a word of caution
There is a Doug Wead article about OWS, which is a very good article, it is already on DP but here is the link to the article anyway: http://dougwead.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/ron-paul-and-the-oc...
Following the article there is a comment which I wish everybody would read; it is between an individual and an organizer for OCW. Followed directly by my personal thoughts.
"Doug, I’d like to share an exchange with you from earlier this morning on facebook. It was between a girl I know from the ‘punk rock’ scene in NYC. She is one of the main organizers of Occupy Wall Street. She invited me to help with this months ago. After doing my own research, I declined.

Hey Occupy Wall Street– The fascists and oligarchs appreciate all of the work you’re doing for them.

Because although crime is rampant on Wall Street, no one is asking what these specific crimes are or how they work. Greed is not just a quality of Wall Street, we all share responsibility for this mess we’re in. You want the government to protect you from big business. That won’t happen because they live in a symbiotic relationship with big business. Fascism, if you care about accurate definitions. But to the people down there that I interviewed, anyone that makes money is evil. That is intellectually sloppy and counterproductive to freedom. If Apple and facebook operated like that you wouldn’t be able to use their products to spread your message. To make everyone economically equal through democratic means is their goal. Egalitarianism. The fascists and oligarchs benefit from this kind of sentiment because they are in the position to provide goods and services with little to no competition. You get what you get. You pay what it costs. Occupy Wall street wants guaranteed things. They don’t care what that does to prices, because everything is “free.” Well nothing is free unless you advocate slavery. And then it still isn’t free. The situation in the economy is going to get much worse, and too many people think this is because of capitalism. It’s not. Privileged corporations and massive government agencies (that were instituted under the auspices of protecting people from the very things they’re doing) are the cause. The Federal Reserve and the Pentagon are on the top of that list, but there and many, many other Praetorian agencies are rampant criminals and are sucking us dry. Occupy wallstreet wants fairness. That is a subjective and childish demand. What you should be demanding is rule of law. If you want more government to protect us from the obvious ills that’s just asking for more foxes to protect the hen house. Theft, coercion and murder need to be outlawed. You and I probably disagree on how to bring fairness and a fighting chance back, but i think there are more pressing matters that we will agree on. I will get down with your cause if you support the Ralph Nader, Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich coalition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLdcB0ln9t8&feature=player_em...

Ralph Nader, Ron Paul, and Dennis Kucinich offer words of wisdom to the Occupy Wall Street movement. The Occupy Wall Street movement has tremendous potential…

good luck with that! You missed the point! I should have gone with my gut on you! Now I will. Where can I send cookies for your tea party? Your response was rude and winded there for went in one ear and out the other.

My intention is not to be rude, and I really don’t think I was. I’m just calling it like I see it, on my own facebook page. I’m not a part of any party. I just believe in freedom. Majority rule does not work in mental institutions.

Brent Davey And by the way, I advocated a coalition of three people. Ralph Nader, who ran for president in the Green Party. Ron Paul, a republican. And Dennis Kucinich, democrat. But you want to label me a member of the tea party. Who’s the one that thinks on party lines? That type of attack is called ad hominem. It is a logical fallacy, and strangely enough, widely considered rude."
If we all realize that these people are not interested in deep understanding of the cause, they prefer knee-jerk reactions and the least amount of thought. I thought we were supposed to be the intellectually superior of politician supporters; wasting time with these individuals would be just that; a waste of time. I cannot help but to be reminded of the adage, "If you dance with the Devil the Devil doesn't change, the Devil changes you."
Yeah...
Those people are pawns who repeat what their closet marxist professors tell them, do your really expect them to take a serious look at the FED? I mean I like to be optimistic but...
- Liberty and Prosperity -
I see them as...
... misguided potential Ron Paul supporters. I see everyone that way though.
John Stewart Thought It Was Persuasive
You might be right, but I'd bet many think similarly to John Stewart, and he seemed to think the book was persuasive and relevant.
Whoever delivers the books should also read the book aloud
While you're there, get on a soapbox and read pages from the book, it'll MOST LIKELY attract some people. Damn, I wish I lived near New York

I will deliver....
I'm in NYC. I would love to make this happen. Contact me and I'll get out there.
Great!
1) Make a Chip-In at the website above. ($500?)
2) Give a date when you will place the order with Amazon.com. (2-days?)
(Unless you can find enough running around to Barnes & Noble's)
3) Put a link to your Chip-In in the comments here.
4) I will add the link to the main body of the post above.
Thanks!
End the Fed is $8.80 on Amazon now
I clicked on the Liberty Defined link on the right side (here on DP) and then on Ron Paul's name (on Amazon). I believe it helps DP.
You won't find this price at any B&N stores, I'm sure.
great idea!
great idea! Are you going to do Ron Paul leaflets also? I thought I saw a post about trying to do that also.
I suggest that you stay with Principles and let them make up
their own mind about the candidates. These young people are "goosey" about candidates but will be willing to read your intellect-based materials.
then they can seek out the candidates that support their views.
id have to agree on reading
id have to agree on reading about principles.
Hell if they are going to be there REALLY long, we could do a chip in for "The Creature from Jekyll Island". Thats a monster of a book to read lol. I bet by the 2nd chapter titled "Bailout is the name of the game". Their head might explode.
Clarify, please.
When you guys say "stay with principles," do you mean:
1) leaflets are a bad idea
OR
2) books are a bad idea
ha, I don't know what I meant
ha, I don't know what I meant when I typed that. I must have been in a hurry.
i suggest not too heavy on leaflets
books that can keep their attention.
Where's Ron Paul?
Does anybody know if he's planning on speaking to the crowd? He should assemble his troops on Wall Street right now before this revolution goes bolshevik.
unfortunately nobody in that
unfortunately nobody in that crowd is registered republican, and based on Adam Kokesh's interview with the ones in DC, I wouldn't expect the crowd to be very attentive to the idea of limited government. They seem more for bigger government to protect them from corporations.
Freedom Wins!
GREAT IDEA!!!!
LETS DO IT!!!
