Occupy Unmasked

This film gives an undoubtedly fair and balanced look at how the scummy left wing freedom hating socialists tried to take over the greatest country in the world: America. Funded by the fiercely patriotic Citizens United organization, a heroic grass-roots collaborative of billionaire constitutional watchdogs, this film exposes how evil workers union bosses have been bleeding our economy dry. For example, one union boss, whose character is so despicable that his name is not worth mentioning, allegedly earned a salary of over $300,000 by coercing payments from innocent law abiding middle class workers. Talk about a racket! Moreover, through a variety of interviews, the film exposes the manner in by which unsuspecting, naive youth get indoctrinated with this vile extremist left-wing propaganda: the education system. Although not mentioned directly in the film, I suspect these same god-war mongering 'educational' establishments are brain-washing our poor children to believe that we came from monkeys (liberals are so silly!) and thinking that sex is natural (clearly, its not). The only reason I'm only giving this film a five star rating is because it clearly fails to address the root of the Union's sinister plans: their secrect pact with Satan and Obama, who as we all know is a Kenyan, to take away our freedoms and make America, the greatest country on earth, a socialist hell-spawn. Anyways, I apologize for the rant; this movie is a must see. Two thumbs up.

two groups will watch this:

1. Breitbartians who believe his bizarrely vengeful, unrelenting attacks (FBI snitch Brandon Darby* was heavily involved here, with a personal vendetta against his former comrades who (surprise!) voiced anger upon learning of their misplaced trust in a manipulative informant)on the Occupy movement. 2. Occupiers looking for a laugh and a chance to see their friends who were clueless enough to respond to leading "interviews" and were rewarded by being taken out of context.

For the rest of the world--even those who opposed Occupy--the premise that the movement had vast, sinister implications is too silly to spend time on. Whether it be Tea Party or OWS, intensely partisan interests just can't help stretching their distaste for the politics of the OTHER into unbelievable narratives. Those of us who harbor a healthy distrust for our UNrepresentative government won't be swayed by such overt maneuvers to divide and conquer.

*For more on Brandon Darby, I highly recommend the documentary "Better this World"

Of course partisans for one side or the other will judge this video on ideological grounds, I think I can say objectively it's a pretty good, though slanted, documentary on the ephemeral Occupy movement which appeared and disappeared in a relatively short period of time, full of sound and fury, signifying...what? The movie explores that question. "Occupy Unmasked" is better than just a polemic, it is very effective in showing just how inarticulate, destructive, and frankly, just plain fatuous the Occupy movement was. How the encampments were a breeding ground for filth, crime and disease and how it ended leaving piles of fetid trash and millions of dollars of damage to local businesses, and to public parks and buildings. There is a lot of detailed information here and the graphics are electrifying. It's a fun video to watch.

What it shows is the American left in the 2st century, adrift in a sea of slogans and political and historical ignorance. Gone are the clearly defined goals of the old communists and socialists. Participants in the demonstrations can hardly articulate what it's all about, they appear tongue-tied when trying to answer the simplest question about what they want or what the aims of the movement are. Their main aim seems to be to cause as much violence and disruption as possible and then see themselves on the evening news. They never get beyond, "Hate the rich!" and "Capitalism sucks!" Mostly the demonstrators were privileged white kids who were taking some time off and thought the government should forgive their student loans. Perhaps they believe that if they can cause the collapse of the current system something new and wonderful will emerge from the ashes. Because they're so poorly educated they don't realize how often that's been tried before with disastrous results.

I think this is a very good film on a subject that could have been ruined with too much heavy-handed polemic and paucity of information. It could have been pretty awful and I would have said so despite my personal antipathy toward the infantile and destructive tactics of the demonstrators. I think most people who aren't committed leftists will enjoy it because of the skill and drama with which it's realized.

are you kidding me? this must be the most one sided doc that i have ever seen.. I am not even close to being part of the occupy movement, but understand their reasons... when the main spokes person in here says "occupy are revolutionists and thats not the American way, amercicans help each other" i turned it off... what an ignorant a55.. there was an entire war called the revolutionary war... which started from riots and being mistreated by gov. our founding fathers would be disappointed with how much we are taxed today and how much power the gov has.. if we cant rise up and have a revolution, then we are in a policed state and we have no real rights except the ones the gov gives us.. i don't agree with everything occupy says, but the fact that this doc is out, i am starting the be more sided with occupy

A biased documentary aimed at discrediting this phenomenon (and the left in general) via misrepresentation and interviewing young protesters who struggle to express themselves.

Statements are made by the presenter such as: "This is how the left goes... These people hate this country... They hate freedom... Hellbent on nihilistic destruction...". Apparently there is a 'secret society' organizing all this. Apparently these people are going to take over our homes and burn down our society. I think they are just confused and disillusioned - and rightly so.

There are many good documentaries describing the issues with the economic system, certain billionaire personality profiles, and the current form of capitalism (Inside Job; Park Avenue etc.). This film does not intelligently debate these issues.

It's obvious there are real problems and capitalism in this form needs to change. Of course HOW this might happen is very difficult to imagine, so I don't blame the Left for this.

It would be good to hear something from the Right, but this is just blatant propaganda. At least this is obvious, but I worry it is not to less educated people.
