More news from our Martian Invaders quotes from a Naomi Wolf op-ed
The shocking truth about the crackdown on Occupy. Naomi Wolf describes three main wants of the Occupy movement:
- Get the money out of politics.
- Reform the banking system, and in particular, bring back the Glass-Steagall Act.
- Close the loophole that "currently allows members of Congress to pass legislation affecting Delaware-based corporations in which they themselves are investors".
They both then note that it was the Department of Homeland Security that coordinated the Occupy crackdown:
OWS had become a direct threat to the personal prosperity of the members of the House homeland security subcommittee (to whom DHS is answerable). If allowed to gather momentum and turn into an independent third party, why, OWS might actually put an end to the corruption. Certainly they're pointing at the right targets.
