Dissatisfied with the anti-Capitalist fervor displayed by the Occupy Wall Street crowd, conspiratorial minded radio host Alex Jones has today launched the Occupy the Federal Reserve movement.
Citing unsubstantial claims concerning the Occupy Wall Street crowd concerning their apparent wishing for taxes on the middle class and a passion for getting Obama re-elected in 2012, Alex Jones website, INFOWARS.com stated,
Focus should instead be on the real source of power for the out-of-control bankster class- the private, unaccountable Federal Reserve bank that creates money out of thin air, issues secret loans to insiders and foreign governments and systematically institutes debt on the American people through their undue powers.
Alex Jones and co. are correct in their assumption that the Federal Reserve system is a big problem for the United States economically speaking. However, the Fed is not the root cause of our economic woes. Systems like the Federal Reserve are only allowed to operate in a world plagued by a much greater, overarching threat- Capitalism.
Millionaires like Jones and his sponsors are frightened by the anti-money fervor displayed by the thousands of folks whove lost their homes and their jobs and who are now taking to the streets in utter rage.
In order to protect the very system that has made Jones and others like him filthy rich, expect to see major attempts from those considered alternative (politically speaking) to squash the emergence of a crowd that wishes to see money and resources spread out equally among the masses.

And there's this, where they are doing Alex Jones' bidding of diverting people and going for the 9/11 thing. I've watched videos of preaching to the people in NYC. They are feeding off the energy of Occupy to help Ron Paul (GOP):

That being said, Paul has helped some people such as Kucinich and Paul on things that Democrats wanted for a long time. And he may not personally be a bad person, but in the end, he's a corporate tool who refuses to come out of his Cold War era mentality and accept that capitalism is not the answer for everything. He contradicts himself talking of medical freedom and then not opposing Texas's anti-abortion law that affects only women. I've also listened to 'Mr liberty and freedom Jones' praise the new bagger majorities in several states enacting their anti-abortion and anti-secular initiatives. These folks are either ignorant of what they're doing, or complicit in taking this country back over a hundred years.
