Lobbying firm's memo spells out plan to undermine Occupy Wall Street

Vatic Note:  Now why would the lobbying firm undermine an operation funded, supported, organized and controlled by their clients, the Banksters???  They wouldn't.   Now if MSNBC says it, then you know its not true.  Remember, the MSM is owned by the bankers and puts out whatever the bankers want us to "believe".  The obvious entire objective of this "so called leaked memo" was to shore up the various sold out politicians in both parties SINCE WE ARE IN ELECTION SEASON and they genuinely think we are dumb, especially right after doing the damage both parties just did yesterday in voting to have military arrest Americans and incarcerate them without a trial.  We already have the current sold out President signed EO that allows him illegally to murder (assassinate is too nice a word, its friggen murder, lets start calling things what they are, OK?) American citizens on his whim with no trial or jury, heck he doesn't even get a lawyer.   So the message is,  SHUT YOUR MOUTH OR YOUR DEAD.  Nazi Germany 1934.  You bet.  Remember the adage,  DIVIDE AND CONQUOR so anytime you see "right vs left" one side blaming or pointing a finger at the other, DON'T BELIEVE IT, it simply tells you that source is working for the bankers on either side.  Obama is a democrat neolib and signed that EO and the repubs are neocons GOP and are as sold out as the dems are.  We got that proven to us yesterday and today with that vote.  Both parties had to support the bill for it to pass.   Now its to the house.  Ron Paul is the only one making any noise about it.   And everyone knows he is not a GOP or a Dem.  LOL  Ask both parties and they will both disown him.  lol    READ MY LIPS,  "Both parties are sold out for whatever reason and under control of the foreign occupying country".   Get rid of them and we get rid of the sell out neolibs and neocons by virtue of removing the threats, blackmail and bribery.  There is no difference and both sides leaders cooperate in making each other look bad and back up the game.  This divide is a distraction that prevents you from FOCUSING on the real manipulators and controllers and who we should get rid of and once done, get rid of leadership in both houses as they are bribed and the rest give them a break since they are blackmailed and threatened.  We saw it with out own eyes, so we know the game.

A well-known Washington lobbying firm with links to the financial industry has proposed an $850,000 plan to take on Occupy Wall Street and politicians who might express sympathy for the protests, according to a memo obtained by the MSNBC program “Up w/ Chris Hayes.”

The proposal was written on the letterhead of the lobbying firm Clark Lytle Geduldig & Cranford and addressed to one of CLGC’s clients, the American Bankers Association.  (VN:  and of course the bankers leaked it to the press.... gee, how convenient...hahaha)


CLGC’s memo proposes that the ABA pay CLGC $850,000 to conduct “opposition research” on Occupy Wall Street in order to construct “negative narratives” about the protests and allied politicians. The memo also asserts that Democratic victories in 2012 would be detrimental for Wall Street and targets specific races in which it says Wall Street would benefit by electing Republicans instead.


According to the memo, if Democrats embrace OWS, “This would mean more than just short-term political discomfort for Wall Street. … It has the potential to have very long-lasting political, policy and financial impacts on the companies in the center of the bullseye.”  (VN:  we proved Soros, a Rothschild,  "neolib" employee, owns the OWS, and we begged all to take it over since by sheer numbers we exceed them and could control their manipulation of that group.  Disband the assembly and create your own, but then the press would not cover it.   So give press releases to the alternative press on what YOUR assembly has said and decided.  THERE ARE MORE OF THEM  THAN THE MSM.   Show the alternative press the infiltrators tent with all their expensive technology they use to control the movement.  START USING THEIR TOOLS AGAINST THEM. )

The memo also suggests that Democratic victories in 2012 should not be the ABA’s biggest concern. “… (T)he bigger concern,” the memo says, “should be that Republicans will no longer defend Wall Street companies.”

Two of the memo’s authors, partners Sam Geduldig and Jay Cranford, previously worked for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Geduldig joined CLGC before Boehner became speaker;  Cranford joined CLGC this year after serving as the speaker’s assistant for policy. A third partner, Steve Clark, is reportedly “tight” with Boehner, according to a story by Roll Call that CLGC features on its website.

Jeff Sigmund, an ABA spokesperson, confirmed that the association got the memo. “Our Government Relations staff did receive the proposal – it was unsolicited and we chose not to act on it in any way,” he said in a statement to "Up."

CLGC did not return calls seeking comment.

Boehner spokesman Michael Steel declined to comment on the memo. But he responded to its characterization of Republicans as defenders of Wall Street by saying, “My understanding is that President Obama is the single largest recipient of donations from Wall Street.”

On “Up” Saturday, Obama campaign adviser Anita Dunn responded by saying that the majority of the president’s re-election campaign is fueled by small donors. She rejected the suggestion that the president himself is too close to Wall Street, saying “If that’s the case, why were tough financial reforms passed over party line Republican opposition?”

The CLGC memo raises another issue that it says should be of concern to the financial industry -- that OWS might find common cause with the Tea Party. “Well-known Wall Street companies stand at the nexus of where OWS protestors and the Tea Party overlap on angered populism,” the memo says. “…This combination has the potential to be explosive later in the year when media reports cover the next round of bonuses and contrast it with stories of millions of Americans making do with less this holiday season.”

The memo outlines a 60-day plan to conduct surveys and research on OWS and its supporters so that Wall Street companies will be prepared to conduct a media campaign in response to OWS. Wall Street companies “likely will not be the best spokespeople for their own cause,” according to the memo.  “A big challenge is to demonstrate that these companies still have political strength and that making them a political target will carry a severe political cost.”

Part of the plan CLGC proposes is to do “statewide surveys in at least eight states that are shaping up to be the most important of the 2012 cycle.”

Specific races listed in the memo are U.S. Senate races in Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin, Ohio, New Mexico and Nevada as well as the gubernatorial race in North Carolina.

The memo indicates that CLGC would research who has contributed financial backing to OWS, noting that, “Media reports have speculated about associations with George Soros and others.”

"It will be vital,” the memo says, “to understand who is funding it and what their backgrounds and motives are. If we can show that they have the same cynical motivation as a political opponent it will undermine their credibility in a profound way.”
