Dear Investor: Up until now, Goldman Sachs has been silent on the subject of the protest movement known as Occupy Wall Street. That does not mean, however, that it has not been very much on our minds. As thousands have gathered in Lower Manhattan, passionately expressing their deep discontent with the status quo, we have taken note of these protests. And we have asked ourselves this question: How can we make money off them? The answer is the newly launched Goldman Sachs Global Rage Fund, whose investment objective is to monetize the Occupy Wall Street protests as they spread around the world. At Goldman, we recognize that the capitalist system as we know it is circling the drain â but thereâs plenty of money to be made on the way down. The Rage Fund will seek out opportunities to invest in products that are poised to benefit from the spreading protests, from police batons and barricades to stun guns and forehead bandages. Furthermore, as clashes between police and protesters turn ever more violent, we are making significant bets on companies that manufacture replacements for broken windows and overturned cars, as well as the raw materials necessary for the construction and incineration of effigies. It would be tempting, at a time like this, to say âLet them eat cake.â But at Goldman, we are actively seeking to corner the market in cake futures. We project that through our aggressive market manipulation, the price of a piece of cake will quadruple by the end of 2011. Please contact your Goldman representative for a full prospectus. As the world descends into a Darwinian free-for-all, the Goldman Sachs Rage Fund is a great way to tell the protesters, âOccupy this.â We havenât felt so good about something weâve sold since our souls. Sincerely, Lloyd Blankfein Chairman, Goldman Sachs (credit to Andy Borowitz )

Sorry, but showing me Russian Today state television propaganda isn't going to convince me of anything (even if I am somewhat supportive of the OWS sentiment) other than a) Putin hates us b) lots of hippies and other ne'er-do-wells are buying into the anti-west propaganda from the Kremlin. Why don't you just go and live in Russia..

lol that's brilliant, she's been reading too much David Icke. This is on RT though because they want their viewers to think that this is what a typical American is like. That women is either mentally ill or a very deadpan comedian. Typical creationist more like.
The Russian government has obviously put plenty of money into it to make it seem like a legitimate modern news channel. Hiring intellectual shills like this Keiser guy (who always comes up with the high-brow reason to hate the west or expect it's imminent demise) and career hungry young reporters. It's intentionally injected into the western sphere to grab the attention of people looking for something to throw against the system. It's a very different story to the way Al Jazeera has developed (although that is owned by the Qatari government/royal family).
Well, Soros is probably connected and has motives, unlike some random, wealthy oil trader who also supports Romney. http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2011/10/george-soros-connection-to-occupy-wall.html But I don't think there's some well-orchestrated conspiracy among the supporters or anything.
Not many news media are not Banker owned. There are not much choices besides bankers propaganda in U.S.A. No, I am not going anywhere. I just do not want this country ruled by Jewish bankers.
