How do you sabotage the "Occupy" movements, now that they've grabbed so much media attention and garnered mainstream support? If you're a well-fed Neocon, one of the 1%, like the Koch Brothers, or Rush "Deaf by Temptation" Limbaugh, or that little angry ferret Andrew Breitbart, you spread chaos from within.

And you do this either on the air or by sending in your minions to agitate, spread lies, and disrupt an otherwise peaceful movement.

Just as the CIA tried to "end" the Black Panthers by infiltrating the group with their own agents to incite violence, murder the leadership, and destroy the organization from within.

The Neocons want you to believe that ACORN, that tired old strawman organization that has long been defunct, is behind the "Occupy" movements. And now the media show photos of a "Screw the Pigs" sign here, or an individual rock-thrower there . . .

Agitprop -- wasn't that the Newspeak word for it?

The rabid right-wingers on the air and the corporate media spread the propaganda and lies and try to manipulate public opinion against these peaceful protestors who -- after all -- are just fighting for our human rights.

Next thing you know, the various city leaders will send in law enforcement, sometimes violently, to disperse the demonstrators in a pre-crime/Minority Report-style effort to prevent action from happening. Using violence to prevent violence -- Bush-era logic if any ever existed.

Who will win? The doubleplusungood Orwellian thugs -- or the Americans who want their country back?
