OWS issues and goals?

-The militarization of local law enforcement.
-Privatization of municipal services ranging from law enforcement to water and prisons. The main goal here is to drive down wages of those who do the actual work.
-All services and goods that are critical to our lives should be overseen by people we elect and can remove from power. Private leadership requires mindless, blind faith to people who often are not inclined to do first what is best for society and humanity.
-Empowering transnational corporations which are often immune to local laws and, by threatening to move or modify their business, can coerce local governments into granting concessions such as tax breaks and eminent domain. Ultimately, transnational and interstate corporations should be abolished.
-Embargo all goods and services produced or provided by employees paid less than the U.S. minimum wage. Otherwise, we are indirectly supporting slavery and worker abuse.
-Excessive remuneration to persons such as executives, actors or athletes. Should we enact a maximum wage up to 10 times the remuneration of the lowest paid employee in the business or corporation? Currently, some executives are paid as if they do the work of nearly 500 people.
-The fitness to serve of those in government who approved or consented, including inaction, to the bailouts of banks, investment firms and insurance companies in 2008. They have surrendered the right to represent us. Nations, such as Iceland, nationalized those institutions with great success.
-War-making powers of those in government, it’s agencies, contractors or proxies. Our government has demonstrated repeatedly that it lacks the moral and intellectual sophistication to be trusted with those powers. Should all wars be put to a popular vote except to repel invaders already on our land?
-The more greed and gluttony there is, the more it demands to be fed. Studies in Prince George’s County, Md., show that the rich never reach a wealth satisfaction level.
-Our current economic crises indicate that high compensation is not attracting high competency. It is attracting high corruption. Should we enact maximum remuneration laws, so that those with morals and principles could be considered for those jobs?

Globalization vs Freedom

We are facing nothing less than a grab for control of the world. The first attempt was in Seattle in 1999.
The World Trade Organization was to be the legal contract for a Neo-Feudal world made up of a transnational corporation nobility that would be unaccountable and privileged. The lower classes would become valueless, disposable peasants and serfs.
Just as nearly 7,000 American soldiers were sacrificed senselessly in Iraq and Afghanistan and tens of thousands more mutilated with as much concern as for chickens in a Tyson’s slaughter house, Globalization will comb the world searching for those most desperate to produce goods and services for the privileged class.
Globalization has been in the planning stages since 1972, with the Uruguay Round of the WTO. In the U.S., Continuity of Government under Cheney & Rumsfeld began making plans for "state of emergency" provisions in case of a major U.S. crisis (real or imagined). The PATRIOT Act was a sampling of their work.
Milton Friedman, and others of his ilk, advised that there is “opportunity in crises.” The Iraq & Afghanistan wars provided cover for the creation of private security companies: 26 by the U.S., 10 by the U.K. One of them, Blackwater (now Xe), got a trial run in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. As hoped, there was no outrage from citizens or media. Americans are ready for a private, Praetorian Guard.
The 2010 election results were interpreted as the American people reaching an intellectual low. At a Republican convention, leaders announced that the time is right to implement privatization of all public institutions & resources. Wisconsin’s oblivious governor took the lead. He slammed into the American Awakening.
