“Occupy Is Sexy” — Major Museums Across Country Frantically Collecting OWS Materials…

And nothing is more prized than piece of human defecation left on a cop car or a syringe from an overdose.

NEW YORK (AP) — Occupy Wall Street may still be working to shake the notion it represents a passing outburst of rage, but some establishment institutions have already decided the movement’s artifacts are worthy of historic preservation.

More than a half-dozen major museums and organizations from the Smithsonian Institution to the New-York Historical Society have been avidly collecting materials produced by the Occupy movement.

Staffers have been sent to occupied parks to rummage for buttons, signs, posters and documents. Websites and tweets have been archived for digital eternity. And museums have approached individual protesters directly to obtain posters and other ephemera.

The Museum of the City of New York is planning an exhibition on Occupy for next month.

“Occupy is sexy,” said Ben Alexander, who is head of special collections and archives at Queens College in New York, which has been collecting Occupy materials. “It sounds hip. A lot of people want to be associated with it.”

    AS far as sexy? All I’m seeing is a lot of illness displayed in a variety of ways by the OWSer’s.

    Re-familiarizing with the word ephemera…….

    Definition of EPHEMERA

    1

    : something of no lasting significance —usually used in plural

    2

    ephemera plural: paper items (as posters, broadsides, and tickets) that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles

    ************************************
    Probably the 1st definition tends to be fitting.

    This would be just fine of the collections included all of the signs advocating communism, anarchy, and the socialist revolution. It should also include some commentary on all of the sexual assaults, deaths, and physical violence against people who disagreed with the OWS message.

    Heard an interview I think or read something, too much info for recall…. but some researcher said about this “movement” is underneath all the political pretense is just a bunch of lost people who desperately need something to believe in and belong to a family they never had.

    @Hickster… guess that’s very similar… cults etc. These particular people were raised this way in day care. I recall in the late 70s early 80s that this generation had their parents in fear of them. They defied all authority from a very early age and the PC courts encouraged it.

    @ Teacake , Hickster

    I highly recommend reading

    “What’s the Matter with California?” by Jack Cashill

    Jack really dives into this very subject and discusses how the need to substitute for lack of family is a major detriment to our society today. Unfortunately, so many of these sad losers found their way to my beautiful state. Literally, I can point to just about everyone I know and divide them along these lines:

    Conservative: someone from a multi-generation California family

    Liberal drone: loser misfit who has migrated to California in search of “family” and to run away from oneself (which is of course impossible to do).

  26. Hickster says:

    Been around a lot of drugs and drug users in my earlier life, I recognize that dopey look they both have, no doubt in my mind, heroin. OWS is sexy like the hippie communes were in the 60′s, seemingly awesome from a distance but once you’re up close you can see the living conditions suck, hardship is a way of life and unless you’re a leader you are going to have to work like you would on a real job. That’s the way I see ‘em, angry communes on public property living in their own crap in full view of a mostly disapproving population.

  28. Shadowblitz70 says:
    December 24, 2011 at 4:05 pm

    They will try to convince future generations that this was a great movement, like how they tell people woodstock was great. Its propaganda.

    THATS what the museums grabbing OWS crap is about. Its not about now, but the future. Telling our children how they stood strong against the ebil republicans, and were all about the people, peace and love, against greedy wallstreet, blah blah blah.

    Those of us who actually paid attention know the truth here. Bunch of brainwashed rats living in their own filth, not knowing what they were protesting, even contradicting each other (capialism is bad, but they all want a living wage?) who were sucked in by our ruined and failed education system and its socialist teachings.

    So watch, in 10 years or so (maybe alot sooner!) they will start telling us and our children that these dredges of society were warriors fighting for freedom. Its a no brainer.

    Question: Why can’t something be done about the heroin? Why isn’t there some way to curtail the traveling and dispensing of it? Of the street drugs, from what I’ve read, seen and heard (through hospital work) this heroin is for sure one of the deadliest. Also, have heard that the heroin nowadays is many times stronger than what it was in the 60′s and 70′s. Many deaths.

    Nothing will ever be done about heroin, cocaine, their derivatives or other illegal drugs because death among the populace is an imperative feature of “Progressives”. (The Weather Underground – Bill Ayer’s terror group – stated in the 70s that they would need to kill off at least 25 million Americans.) This idea was codified by the dreadful Margaret Sanger, whose eugenics was adopted by Hitler and promulgated by Planned Parenthood for population control in order to weed out racial and physical “undesirables”.
    (BTW – Shrillary was given the Planned Parenthood Margaret Sanger award a couple of years ago. She positively gushed about Sanger and PP.)

    One of main reasons why the regime is doing everything to keep our border with Mexico open, is to allow for the easy entry of heroin and cocaine. The terror group, Hezbollah, is very proficient at this on a global scale. For years, they have been operating virtually unimpeded in the Tri-Border region of South America and in cooperation with terror groups and gangs throughout South and Central America, up through Mexico and into the US. Those elaborate tunnels from Mexico into the US are built with the help of the Hezbollah. The regime is really quite supportive of the Hezbo-nazis.

    “Debauchery has made OWS prematurely old. See how they protest and babble on down, and how they disgust a normal person and there eyes like broken windows seem to scowl dimly, like eyes that have been hurt in drunken forays. Many of these pigs live here. Do they ever wonder why their masters walk upright instead of going on all fours, and why they talk instead of grunting? ”

    Redwine,
    The new heroin that is killing so many people is coming from muslim immigrants and returning military from Afghanistan .
    The older ,less deadly/cut is from Mexico .
    China also has a share of the market.

    80 % of the methamphetamines , 70 to 90 % of the cocaine, virtually all of the marijuana smuggled into the US comes from Mexico.(gov stat)

    Obama needs the votes and money generated by drugs to prop up his campaign.

    I’ll skip these museum displays that are deemed sexy and cool.Since i find antisemitism,marxism,rats,public bodily evacuations,filth,anti-Americanism,personal greed ,whining and communal ignorance do not stimulate sexual fantasies for me.But the curators may have to beat Tingles and libs et al,off with a stick.

    Like others are saying, it’s complicated. Afghanistan is the world’s largest opium producer. Muslims intent on oppressing America finance their terrorism in no small part with that commerce coming through our southern borders.. they are in collusion with the Mexican narco-terrorists

    Obama and Holder are Fast and Furiously assisting in that current trade..

    Afghan Opium Fuels ‘Global Chaos’ …

    UN findings say an opium market worth $65bn (£39bn) funds global terrorism, caters to 15 million addicts, and kills 100,000 people every year

  55. Hickster says:
    December 24, 2011 at 8:50 pm

    Excerpt of article:
    “Another significant factor includes the vastly increased revenues made by the Taliban and other insurgent groups in taxing opium production in Afghanistan.

    An estimated $160m of drug money per year is now available to support terrorists activities, the report suggests.

    “The Taliban’s direct involvement in the opium trade allows them to fund a war machine that is becoming technologically more complex and increasingly widespread,” said Antonia Maria Costa.

    “Some profiteers in the heroin trade wear suits and white collars, others wear black turbans.”

    Yeah, I remember the “Woodstock” generation. I remember the stupidity, the unrealistic idealism, the lives wasted by drugs and STD’s. I remember friends who took trips and never came back or whose personality changed to sheer self-indulgence and rottenness. “If it feels good do it” was the road to narcissism and death.

    The older I got, the more I realized how lied to and how deceived that whole generation was. I’ve shaken my head in disbelief at some people waxing nostalgic over the hippy era. I really don’t have any fond memories of that time. And I look at the OWS and see a hippy redux. I look at the two kids in the photo above and feel remorse and sadness for them, because it makes me remember the wasted, empty lives.

    In all fairness, I have not yet seen evidence of any excrement on a cop car. All that has been shown is what I call a “set-up” photo which is nothing more than an expression of sentiment, not an act of actual defecation. I’m not a fan of OWS by any means but I am fair-minded. Show me the proof.

    The guy-crapping-on-the-cop-car photos was doctored so that the crap was erased from the photo. I saw the photo when it was first out in the media making the rounds and there was a wide, nasty trail of crap under that man’s backside. It was absolutely disgusting. He was totally doing his thing.

    I wasn’t surprised to see that the actual brown stuff was swiftly photoshopped out of the picture. It was gross. But now that is backfiring and people are saying, “No one really crapped on a cop car!”

    Figures. Oh well. I know what I saw and it was enough to convince me of the real sprit of OWS back when it started.

    You’re right about that. But the good news is, I think they saved the crap, and its going into the museum. So LarryG can see it on his next vacation.
