Occupy Australia - has this movement been hijacked by the green left?
Tonight I am joined by Craig Stanford to reflect on the occupy Reserve Bank protest which we filmed on 15 October 2011.
In our discussion we look at some of the techniques being used to create "group consciousness" at the protests here and overseas, such as hand signs and chanting, and we ask whether such tendencies are supportive of human freedom.
Although the protesters claim they are the 99%, our finding is that they are largely made up of anti-capitalist, socialist, collectivist and eco-fascist minorites within our society.
There was no sign of the huge anti-carbon tax movement, which, according to many polls, represents the views of the vast majority of Australians.
Speakers at the event were heavily promoting the "action on climate change" mantra, and the strong presence of the socialist alliance and green left weekly further reinforces the impression that this movement is essentially owned by the radical left.
Does the socialist flavour we saw in Sydney reflect the tendencies of the wider global movement? According to Charles Gasparino of the Murdoch-owned New York Post,
It’s not an overstatement to describe Zuccotti Park as New York’s Marxist epicenter. Flags with the iconic face of the Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara are everywhere; the only American flag I saw was hanging upside down. The “occupiers” openly refer to each other as “comrade,” and just about every piece of literature on offer (free or for sale) advocated socialism in the Marxist tradition as a cure-all for the inequalities of the American economic system.
In Rome, the violence has been blamed on left-wing groups, which is predictable, but possibly an attempt to demonise groups which the government wishes to suppress.
Overall, there is still much potential for this movement to become a force for positive change, but there is also a huge opportunity for it to become merely another vehicle for those who think they can steer human civilsation in a particular direction.
Under the title "Why are we outside the Reserve Bank of Australia?", Occupy Sydney features this comedy sketch from 2008.
The "occupy" groups have been conducting what they call "general assemblies", a term reminiscent of the United Nations.
The Sydney group has stated:
The GA works on a basis of consensus decision making, and therefore is the only accurate way of representing what the entire group wants the world to know. The Occupy Sydney general assembly at Martin Place aims to provide a forum for all voices to be heard and are constantly learning better ways to be inclusive of all perspectives.

It is the hallmark of the deceivers. And therefore relevant considering what this man represents.
It may well be that he is just a naturally effiminate but good man ,or a homosexual unaware of the true nature of reality.
But it may well also be a sign he is working for the Roman church.Who are behind all conspiracies. A fact those of us who know history, listened to our grandparents and have read the law are fully aware of.
(Yes it specifically says in law that the Roman Church have and will try to infiltrate and deceive us.Read the original Bill of Rights- your rights which by the way is the true target for carbon tax law)
They always play both ends against the middle. Pretending to be both the opposition to and in favour of every issue in order to control the debate and set the agenda.
Which is what Mr fenton seems to be saying is going on with socialists at this carbon tax rally.

And would prefer to write to you publicly since you ignored my previous emails some months ago in regards to the actual purpose behind these conspiracies. Which i volunteered to explain as best I can to any Australians listening to your podcasts.
I received no reply,nor have i seen you mention the subject on your site since then.
Simply put I can explain the truth of what we have been brainwashed not to know since we first turned on a T.V. or went to school.
Which you are either oblivious to or uninterested in bringing to the attention of your audience.
And in particular my concern is the pressing issue of Australia losing its soverignty to the united nations through the introduction of carbon tax law , which will remove our protections as free men that date back to the Magna Carta.
If Australians realised what was really going on , I believe they would forget about the debate over polllution and science and address the real issue. That being , we are about to be conquered by the Roman Catholic Church, bringing to a bitter close 400 odd years of the Protestant Revolution.

greens had a leftwing fingerprint. The fingerprint of the pope.
Marx didnt create socialism, Rome did. Russia isnt your first communist government, Paraguay was . Run by the Jesuits in the 1500s (I think).
So yes Ross it does mean you shouldnt engage because it is treason.
As is the carbon tax itself.
If you read Marx, as Im sure you do, you will find that he promotes centralisation of industry and governement control.
These corporations socialists like to point the finger at, are in fact centralisation of industry.
They are not the natural evolution of capitalism, they are the fruits of rigged laws, and corruption in order to swallow up a diverse free enterprise of ordinary businesses. And centralise industry. They are socialism with a capitalism label .
Which makes the socialist point of view a little ironic.
But worse than that, treasonous.
Could Hereward Fenton please answer my question , so I dont keep getting emailed to respond on this page?

Very little information of value is given freely, only lies are free.
You are brainwashed, as i was, so I will try to be patient with you nonetheless.
If you have come to this site , you know something is wrong and are trying to find out exactly what.
Unfortunately most "truthers" will not consider Christianity as being the truth those that would deceive us are trying to hide.
Because we have been deeply morally corrupted in our modern world.
It takes enormous courage to realise almost everything you consider good and moral is in fact the opposite.
The truth really does hurt.
In the same way people you try to convince that 911 was an insidejob, or that our media is controlled propaganda , refuse to listen. Because the implications for their lives is painful. So too are most "truthseekers" too scared to investigate the glaringly obvious message of history.
We are protestant Christians in the eyes of Rome whether you choose to be religious or not.
For it was they that have brainwashed us to live a godless life.
There is a logical path to God in our age, if you but look. And blind tolerance of all by its nature means tolerance of evil.
You are being robbed of your birthright in a war that moved from the battlefield to our minds.
That being the Holy Spirit.
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Iahiah 5:20
Is it too much to ask Mr Fenton to reply to my question ?

I suggest well intentioned people visiting this website consider the possibility he is leading you down the garden path.
The key to understanding all this conspircaytainment is to know history.
From books written prior to the 20th century,not youtube.
I suggest you read up on what we were not taught about in school.
The Protestant Revolution.
Most of the internet personailities that are exposing these "truths" are working for the very people who brainwashed us.
Direcly or indirectly.
All roads lead to Rome
