Regulation and the OWS Movement

• Lew Rockwell
One of the most ironic things I have witnessed in the month of OWS protests is that the protesters constantly are cited or restricted by authorities as they run afoul of regulation after regulation. From confiscating heaters in NYC (fire hazard) to shutting down impromptu outdoor kitchens (food "safety"), the protesters are stymied by rules, rules, and more rules.

 " They were and are utterly inarticulate and cannot fathom even simple things going on around them. In other words, they are perfect fodder for the Ruling Classes. Anthony Gregory absolutely is right; the Ruling Classes have nothing to fear from this bunch."

The people behind OWS, are very intelligent, and media aware. They have made no demands or supported any candidate.

The Ruling Class is very afraid. Their control of the mass media cannot counter a movement that has no leaders, or stated goals, or demands, other than a departure from the status quo.
