Occupy A Target On Your Back

Another entry into the no shit file.  The occupy movement was a target of Obama's government from the very beginning.  Any true populist movement would be a huge danger to the ruling class.  Unlike the hilariously astroturfed and Koch-sucking Teabaggers, who were simply the pathetic useful idiots of the American Oligarchy, the Occupy Movement presented a legitimate alternative to the status quo in 2012 America, and as such, that movement became an enemy of the political establishment.  Had real, dynamic leaders properly grown and lead the movement beyond its grass-roots support, they clearly would have been targets for assassination.  The establishment's early efforts effectively derailed the movement, and it neutralized popular media coverage obviating the need for a more focused plan of government violence.  Since Occupy was allowed to whither on its own, the violence against the movement was much less public and much less personal than assassination.  The usual program of police violence and media propaganda was more than enough to undo a movement that was not robust enough to grow beyond establishment control.  Perhaps a few lives were indeed saved by Occupy's failure, but hundreds of millions of people lost.
