However, like so many things that start with good intentions it\u2019s in danger of being led astray.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The first warning signs appeared in London last week when protesters marched through the city\u2019s financial district to the steps of St Paul\u2019s Cathedral where they were<strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> <\/span><\/strong><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=35932\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">addressed by Julian Assange<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Wikileaks-founder-arrived-at-the-protest-wearing-a-mask-which-police-insisted-he-remove.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-35935\" title=\"Wikileaks founder arrived at the protest wearing a mask, which police insisted he remove.

Apart from being one of founders of Wikileaks, he is also suspected of being a double agent of influence. A media activist who captures public attention and then subtly manipulates it in accordance with his master\u2019s wishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Unmasked-Julian-Assange.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35936 alignright\" title=\"Unmasked: Julian Assange.

I\u2019m reminded of those gullible white liberals who supported Obama on the basis of his colour and his professed desire for \u201cchange\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It is now obvious that Obama hasn\u2019t brought any change. In fact in most of his policies he\u2019s only continued where his predecessors left off. Yet the very people who voted for him did so because they opposed his predecessor and wanted change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Talk about being naive and taken for suckers! Significantly however, these are now the same sort of people who actively support the Occupy Wall Street protests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Still empty slogans are always more effective when aided by a compliant media. So when reports appeared linking financier George Soros to a Canadian group behind some of the first OWS protests they were quickly rewritten; with a new headline that read <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=35998\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201c<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Soros: not a funder of Wall Street protests<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">If the object was to exploit human gullibility it did so with the utmost cynicism. For after a wave of popular protests against corporate greed we now see the very forces people are protesting about trying to harness this wave of popular anger against them for their own purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Clever, one might even say diabolically clever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Will they succeed? I\u2019ll reserve judgement on that because we are all individuals and it is for each one of us to make a difference. And therein lies the rub. For the Powers That Be hate the individual; their power resides in the collective, which they can manipulate through its lowest impulses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Look at how they have manipulated Jews with endless tales of how they suffered \u201cas a people\u201d from \u201canti-Semitism\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Yet the Holocaust is only one example. The constant harping on racial persecution of one type or another merely reinforces the collective identity of that race and its sense vulnerability, which can then be manipulated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">For although the elite\u2019s power resides in the mob it ends with the individual and if enough genuine individuals emerge the elite\u2019s power will be contained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Of course this does not apply to the entire Occupy Wall Street movement. There are many sincere individuals involved but each day more questionable cases emerge. Cases where the authorities seem to be trying to subvert or undermine the movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Two examples serve to illustrate this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Sarah Shourd, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal were all recently tried in Iran on charges of spying and acting on behalf of Western intelligence. I\u2019ll reserve judgement on whether the three, all Jews, strayed into Iran by mistake while hiking. Or whether they were on a covert mission for Mossad or the CIA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Despite opposition from conservatives in Iran, Ahmadinejad\u2019s generous gesture in freeing the three has been predictably overlooked by the corporate media. It didn\u2019t overlook their participation in <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcbayarea.com\/news\/politics\/132019128.html\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Occupy protests in Oakland recently<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"> though. Nor did it question why in only their second public appearance since their release they chose to lend support to protests not ostensibly linked to Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">While I\u2019ll reserve judgement on whether the three were operating on behalf of a covert agency in Iran, I\u2019ll ask you to consider: if they were, have they now been ordered to help subvert the Occupy Wall Street movement?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The latest example of questionable involvement in the Occupy Wall Street protests comes courtesy Paul Joseph Watson who highlighted the involvement of Ahmed Maher. Formerly involved in \u201cArab Spring\u201d the Egyptian activist is now advising protesters in the Occupy Wall Street movement \u2013 with <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.propagandamatrix.com\/articles\/october2011\/191011_state_department.htm\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">financial assistance provided courtesy the U.S. State Department<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">So what exactly is a State Dept funded activist formerly involved in the \u201cArab Spring\u201d now doing advising Occupy Wall Street protesters? Like they say, go figure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/ows-mbs.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-36186\" title=\"Occupy Wall Street protests.
