One could make the argument that the protesters are using the same information to fullfill a agenda are they not?
Sure. And they are. It's like the Boston Tea Party. The agenda was tea and taxes, but that's not what it was about. There were countless other protest back then, many with wildly varying agendas, but they and the Boston Tea Party were really about the frustrations of liberty lost, of lost hope and of increased despair. The current Tea Partiers, the protesters, the election of Obama, and many other events in the weeks, months and years to come will also be about the same thing, despite them having individually different details that are presented to us by those in power (and those who support them) in easily digestible sound bites.
I understand people are fed up with many things, but what did they expect when they elected a Chicago politician?
They expected anything
NOT the Establishment. That's why Obama trounced Hilary in the primaries, not because he was a liberal, but because she represented the same Establishment that has gotten us to where we are. People expected what he promised, Hope and Change. Of course, they didn't realize that he was also a part of that Establishment, part and parcel, and are only now beginning to realize why he failed utterly to deliver any change at all.
And yet they still support him and want him to be elected again.
Not as many as you'd think. Many are disillusioned with him now. Still, unless an alternative to the NOT Establishment presents itself, they'll stick with the least objectionable alternative. In any case, this is not something that will happen overnight. It'll be just like the hundreds and thousands of events leading up to the Boston Tea Party, and the countless events between that and out independence. It's a slow process.
Until there is structural change, you are going to see more of the same.
Of that we can be sure. Those in power are afraid of that, too. Have you seen the wide angle shots of the NY protest, where there is an army of police there, enough to put down a full-blown riot. They've got police vans and armed RVs, the whole works. They're afraid, and they want to stop this before it escalates. But they won't be able to. History, and human nature proves that.
And, as those charts clearly show, a global economy is going to continue to change things regardless of anything that happens here. Protests and the like aren't going to change that any time soon.
Not any time soon. But what it happening here and the global economy are intimately intertwined, one feeding off the other. Like I said, it won't happen overnight, but it'll happen. We may not be alive when it finally comes to fruition, but it will happen. It always does.
