The Police Vs. Occupy Movements by Allison Kilkenny
On October 17, hundreds of Occupy Wall Street protesters gathered in Liberty Park
around cakes that had been donated by local businesses. The group was
celebrating the one-month anniversary of the occupation, but the moment
was simultaneously both joyous and somber. Though OWS had won some clear
victories against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, they had also
withstood brutality at the hands of the NYPD. Each candle glowing atop
the cakes represented a protester who had been arrested.

Wall street, Zionist Jewish/Israeli ethics and world of fund raising
Among the economic fields in which Jews today are especially visible is investment banking -- "Wall Street," including interconnected networks of lawyers and other legal and economic manipulators stretching deeply into Hollywood and the mass media. Since the 1800s the "Old Crowd" of German-Jewish banking families (the Seligmans, Lehmans, Goldmans, Sachs, Warburgs, Schiffs, Loebs, et al) had predominated the field; a "New Crowd" of Jews has in recent decades taken their place. After World War II, melodramatically note Judith Ehrlich and Barry Rehfeld, "economic power in America and Wall Street was shifting ...
Fresh faces came forward as if answering a call ... They were the children and grandchildren of Italian, Irish, Poles, and other Europeans who were not of Anglo-Saxon ancestry. But most of all they were Jews." [EHRLICH, p. 12] This is not to suggest of course that the seminal Jewish American investment firms are today inconsequential. Far from it. In 1999, for instance, Goldman, Sachs and Co. stretched across the world to become the "single largest and controlling shareholder of South Korea's largest bank, Kookmin. [BLOOMBERG NEWS, p. 11]
