Occupy Wall Street May Day 2013: still fake, still helping the wealthy

Occupy Wall Street is still around and they're still a fake group, either by design or not.

On May Day 2013, they'll be continuing their efforts that have the net effect of helping those they pretend to oppose.

From the emailed "OWS Newsletter":

Once again, Occupy Wall Street will be participating in May Day demonstrations and events in New York City. We rise up in solidarity to celebrate all workers, including undocumented immigrants, and the oppressed. In this era of inequality it is our shared responsibility to speak truth to power and rise up to demand our rights.

...May Day, also known as International Worker's Day, is observed throughout the world as a way to honor the struggles of all working people across history. While this tradition began in the United States, the day is unfamiliar to many Americans and is not officially observed as a holiday. May Day was reclaimed in the United States by immigrant workers in 2006, when they mobilized by the millions to fight for their rights.

...May Day is a holiday for the 99%...

If you're an OWS supporter, answer me this: what's the immigration position of the US Chamber of Commerce, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Tyson Foods, other businesses, and other banks? They want much more immigration and they want comprehensive immigration reform, don't they? They want more consumers and just as importantly they want more workers because they know more workers means lower wages.

OK, now explain why Occupy Wall Street is on the same basic side of the immigration issue as the US Chamber of Commerce, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Tyson Foods, and all the rest.

If Occupy Wall Street opposed amnesty and supported attrition, they could really stick it to the corrupt elites and on the issue where the elites are most vulnerable and least popular. Instead, Occupy Wall Street does the opposite.

On immigration, OWS sides with the 0.1% who want to lower wages and stands against the 99% whose wages are lowered.

Determining exactly why OWS support policies that would enrich the wealthy while harming everyone else is left as an exercise, but none of the possible explanations are good.

For more information, see Occupy Wall Street such as how OWS gets tricked and how OWS helps Bloomberg, Koch, the Federal Reserve, and many others.

On a lighter note, the official song of the event - entitled "We Stand for Justice Mayday Song 2013" - is below. I left a comment on it that "the music, singing, and lyrics are crap, like something you'd hear on a PBS kids show". On second thought, I think even PBS would reject the song.

UPDATE: Here's my video about their event, followed by the official video:
