JG: Are you calling for a revolution?
MM: I think the revolution is already taking place. I think there’s a revolt that is simmering just beneath the surface
And now the 2011 #Occupy movement has inspired Michael Moore to make a new documentary:
For the sake of context, it’s important to mention the conclusion of his last film, Capitalism: A Love Story; there, he said that his days of making documentaries were over, at least until people began to take action. Cut to two years later, and his website told visitors that they’re “about to witness the end of Capitalism: A Love Story.” He’s probably referring to Occupy Wall St. as the end, but one thing seems to lead to another here.
When asked about the project’s content, Moore said the following:
” I’m not gonna tell you what I’m going to do film-wise, but it will be something that’s not being addressed.
It will be funny and shocking and hopefully will help move the ball down the field.
And as long as I am one among many … That is why I love going down to Occupy Wall Street. Because I stand there with hundreds as part of this general assembly, and I am one voice. If feels so much better to me to have hundreds of other people sharing in that and saying, “We’re all going to put the yoke on our shoulders and carry this forward.”

Propogandists like Mike Gallagher dare people to refute his assertions. Hapless callers are made to hear how bad the Occupiers are.Well here the real deal-”Problems we face are extremely complex, basically the talents of workingmen and semi skilled people have become obsolete to todays needs, displacing thousands of people , not of their own fault.Overpopulation has allowed third world countries to make consumer goods cheaper, and Americans cannot compete with slave wage third world countries. Things got out of balance in the 1960′s when international companies helped by financial interests encouraged American based companies to move corporate offices to tax haven countries therby cheating the American system out of needed income. American were seduced out of their savings and home equities with easy credit, Employers infiltrated the legislative process to make laws favor their interests. Workers pay scale has been ursurped by the financial system.The schools do not teach the gullible public how to recognize the exploiters, college loans have been a windfall for the banking industry, graduates finish to find no jobs, no wonder they are pissed off. It boils down to “Does the business system have a basic responsiblity to provide a fair and equitable situation for people, or are they just a commodity to be used and discarded when not needed? These protestors have awakened, and the exploitation is about to end. Thanks Mike for helping!
