Unions, communists, nazis, anarchists, ad companies that exploit leftwing malcontents. A collective of useful idiots and their facilitators.

The protest as it stands today emerged from a heady mix of Anonymous‘ hacker libertarianism, Adbusters‘ media-savvy culture of art student resistance, and the indigenous post-1960s American far-left which was raised on a steady diet of Food Not Bombs, Critical Mass, and anarchist infoshops.

At least one name on the list is familiar. Jed Brandt is a Marxist demagogue who declared back in 2009, that he was “tired of being told to stuff his anger back in his pants”.
Update:
A more comprehensive list at The Blaze.
They are not shy about telling everyone what they want to do. It’s all there. If there’s any doubt, just look at the groups, organizations, individuals, philosophy, and actions of this “movement”. It’s not grassroots but it is organized and it’s been in the works for awhile. There’s nothing spontaneous or patriotic about this underbelly of nihilist shit.
