When I decided to become an 'activist' regarding Papua in 1994, I decided that I had to check the facts for myself. It took me 14 years to dig through the myths and misinformation, I also had to learn about Indoonesia, Freeport, Standard Oil, anti-trust law, the Rockefellers, Bechtel, the CIA, the NSC, the UN, and a dozen other subjects I had no interest in excepting that I needed them in order to understand who did what and how.

I can not understood how the Occupy movement can hope to help if it does not understand who the 1% are, or how the 99% are being exploited. Can you help enlighten me about the Occupy movement's understanding of the problem it is complaining about?
