One of our Lit GB citizens is using a link and leaving something important out.
"In the nearly 6-minute video, the man is seen standing in Zuccotti Park ranting against Israel
and Jews while holding a sign reading “Hitler’s Bankers – Wall St.”
The protester, who would not give his name to those gathered around him, is also seen
arguing with members of the public who took offense to his choice of words.
A number of others also ask the protester if Fox News had paid him to stand and display his sign
to which he responded: “[expletive] Fox News, that’s [expletive]. [Expletive] Jew made that up.”
Check this out-
The march was organized by an antiwar group called October 11, but was quickly joined by some members
of the Occupy Wall Street offshoot Occupy D.C.
Ten or so protesters tried to force their way past security and were pepper-sprayed in return. One was Patrick Howley,
an editor at the conservative magazine The American Spectator, who shoved his way into the museum
even after being pepper-sprayed. "As far as anyone knew I was part of this cause —
a cause that I had infiltrated the day before in order to mock and undermine [it] in the pages
of The American Spectator," Howley says in his (since-modified) article.
"But as far as anyone knew I was part of this cause -- a cause that I had infiltrated the day before --
and I wasn't giving up before I had my story. Under a cloud of pepper spray I forced myself into the doors.
Suspecting that the entire crowd would be able to get inside, I ran blindly across the floor of the
Air and Space Museum to find a place to observe, drawing the attention of hundreds of stunned
khaki-clad tourists (some of whom began snapping off disposable-camera portraits of me).
I strained to glance behind me at the dozens of protesters I was sure were backing me up,
and then I got hit again, this time with a cold realization:
I may have been the only one who had made it through the doors."

American Spectator Editor Admits to Being Agent Provocateur at D.C. Museum

Ironically Howley concludes the story of his adventure mocking the lack of courage of the protesters,
who he admitted did not seek – as he did – to confront the authorities, by praising the courage
of the guards who twice pepper-sprayed him.
“As I scrambled away from the scene of my crime, a police officer outside the museum gates pointed at my eyes,
puffed out of his chest, and shouted: “Yeah, that’s right. That’s right.” He was proud that I had been pepper-sprayed,
and, oddly, so was I. I deserved to get a face full of high-grade pepper, and the guards who sprayed me
acted with more courage than I saw from any of the protesters. If you’re looking for something
to commend these days in America, start with those guards.
We will ever forget what Brandon Darby did.
....but it's Darby's snitching that has provided the most intriguing tale. It's the focus of a radio magazine piece,
two documentary films, and a book in the making. By far the most damning portrayal is Better This World,
an award-winning doc that garnered rave reviews on the festival circuit and is slated to air on PBS on
September 6. The product of two years of work by San Francisco Bay Area filmmakers Katie Galloway
and Kelly Duane de la Vega, it dredges up a wealth of FBI documents and court transcripts related
to Darby's interactions with his fellow activists to suggest that Darby acted as an agitator as much
as an informant.

Young people with ideals, were subverted and influenced by an older trusted activist who was a man
who was corrupted by money.
The young people had their lives and futures ruined. The young people went to jail.
Brandon got a job and big cash rewards. Brandon is an egomaniac and a misogynist.
