Exposing the Worst of the 1 Percent

Robert Greenwald’s Brave New Films is preparing a multimedia onslaught to expose those 1 percenters who use their monetary and political powers to the disadvantage of others—sometimes millions of others, as in the case of Bank of America President Brian Moynihan.

Greenwald took to his favorite medium to issue a call for nominees in this video he unleashed Thursday, “Who Are the 1 Percent?” In other words, time to name names, people.

so wait, Oprah and Obama share the largest bundle of
wall street cash in history? Or is it they each have a
large bundle? Or is it the mouths of children that had
the bundle and they took it from their mouth?

Wait, Obama is Oprah and he/she took wall street money
from the mouths of children to finance the fall of
capitalism. Right? 

What kind of crack are you on? Where can I get some?

There is a revolution coming. It will not be like revolution­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­s of the past. It will originate with the individual and with culture, and it will change the political structure only as its final act. It will not require violence to succeed, and it cannot be successful­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­l­­­­y resisted by violence..­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­.

“The logic and necessity of the new generation­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­-­­­­-­­­­­a­­­­­n­­­­­­d what they are so furiously opposed to—must be seen against a background of what has gone wrong in America. It must be understood in light of the betrayal and loss of the American dream, the rise of the Corporate State, and the way in which that State dominates, exploits, and ultimately destroys both nature and man. Its rationalit­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­y must be measured against the insanity of existing “reason”—­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­r­­­­e­­­­­a­­­­­s­­­­­­o­­­­­­n that makes impoverish­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­m­­­­e­­­­­n­­­­­t­­­­­­, dehumaniza­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­t­­­­i­­­­­o­­­­­n­­­­­­, and even war appear to be logical and necessary.­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­.­­­­.

For this witch hunt I nominate Oprah Winfrey. Her billions obviously came out of the mouths of children all over the nation. She also hugely aided the candidacy of the current U.S. President. - The recipient of the largest bundle of Wall Street cash in American history.
